The beginning of the second half of season 6 has won back my love for American Horror Story. As promised, this episode has changed the dynamic for the entire season, and I'm totally on board with it.
One of my biggest gripes with the first 5 episodes was the fact that we knew Matt, Shelby and Lee would survive because they were telling the story. I felt this really removed a lot of the tension and honestly it made me care less about the characters. Now all the real life characters and re-enactment characters have been placed in the Roanoke house together, and it has been revealed that by the end of the three days, ALL of the characters will dead.....except one. Brilliant! It feels like the beginning of a Quentin Tarantino film, knowing how it will end but not knowing the story leading up to the ending.
All of the actors seem to be having much more fun in their roles now. I especially love Evan Peter's wacky red headed Rory (It's a shame he was the first to die though), and i'm excited to see how Cheyenne Jackson's character fits into this new story. But let's talk about the most shocking part of "Chapter 6" - Sarah Paulson's British accent. She nails it. At first I thought it was going to distract me but I got used to it very quickly! Gosh there's really nothing I didn't like about this episode, except maybe the lack of an opening title sequence (I guess we're not getting one for Roanoke?).
I loved this episode and I am incredibly excited for the remaining 4 chapters. We're Still waiting on Taissa Farmiga and Finn Wittrock to make their appearances - I'm calling it now, Taissa Farmiga is gonna be playing the real life version of Scáthach, the original supreme (that would fit nicely as she could be an ancestor of Zoe from coven).
