Excellent. Looking forward to more soap opera lunacy!

Yeah...1st season was superb, loved it. Eagerly waiting for it but here we have to wait 3 or 4 months more than you, guys.:o

Well you should come to Boston and hang out with Doc and I and we'll have viewing parties! :-D

(not that I've even met him yet! :o)

I didn't know Chloe Sevigny was in this season :D. That more than makes up for Adam Maroon 5's casting.

YOU LAY OFF MY ADAM! :p

Ooooo. I really do like Chloe Sevigny (though for some odd reason I get her mixed up with Evan Rachel Wood - had to look up to see which was which :o).

Haha, alright. I'll lay off. I really don't mind that casting choice with this show, honestly. I'm mainly just surprised because I had no idea he was or wanted to be an actor. At any rate, Dylan McDermott had some soaringly cheeseball moments in the last season, but because everything is so completely off-the-rocker nuts in American Horror Story, it never bothered me. I really like the soap opera drama dynamic kind of matched with sheer frenetic lunacy (something that the British detective show Luther does pretty well, too). So even if Adam Harder To Breathe is terrible, I still think it'll probably work in this particular show.

And I'll also have Chloe Sevigny. :D

heehee - Oh, I totally get your reticence. Normally I'd agree but apparently I have some kind of strange affinity for Maroon 5 that is manifesting right now (probably because the last song I heard by them was "She Will Be Loved;" I don't listen to modern pop music at all).

Actually I think my Defense of Adam is more along the lines of what you note; the show is so tightly written and directed and that the best performances came out of those I least expected (McDermitt being my prime example). I'm of the mindset that a brilliant script and director can bring out the best in any actor (transversely poor scripts and direction can make great actors awful). So my feelings for Maroon 5 aside, I'm hoping there 's a good reason Adam was cast and that he'll surprise us.

That being said, I'm going to turn on my previous statement of hopefulness and say that I am honestly not a fan of Chloe DuVall at all. She has this odd cult indie actress status that I just don't get because her main skill is screwing up her face, mumbling, and making you wonder if her character is supposed to be mentally retarded. I think she's an overrated actress and she only gets jobs because she's funny-looking.

*ahem*

Ok, yes, I just defended the lead singer of MAROON 5 and insulted a "seasoned" actress. Heh. I'm going to just get back to the mindset of AHS must have a Reason and for that I must reserve judgement... O Mighty AHS!!

;)

Oh OH so excited to see Joseph Finnes! *drools*

And Zachary Quinto...

And Jessica Lange...

Just can't stop watching these teaser trailers...
