i discovered ahs a year ago, a friend of mine suggested that i watched it, and so i did. i finished s01 and s02 on one weekend, i gotta say that one episode was enough to get me hooked on that show, the main reason was that the show had this line that u can see how the plot was developing not exactly but u could wounder on what's coming next. i agree that s03 had some boring parts (and some holes in the plot) but overall it was pretty descent. i was looking forewords to this season more than any other show and i gotta say i am pretty disappointed so far, the main thing a loved about it is the fact that u have a good horror story with brilliant casting and script alongside with quality set and visually. s04 has it all but the good script, the story is lame and not much for building characters or the plot with back story's like a classic ahs season. o.k so this mid season epi was pretty good i was looking forward to see how brayen Murphy's going to connect the dots, and it was amazing, peppers story was quite emotional as it was interesting. but still, i think that we should get this kind of level at any or at least most of the episodes. so, i hope next season will have more of that cause even if all the remain episodes left, will be in the same level, it doesn't make up for a whole season gone wrong!.
