Not sure if it needs to be announced on a blog dedicated to fiction, but as with pretty much all posts here, SPOILER ALERT. Now to begin.
AHS: Coven premiered last night on FX and it was exactly what I predicted in my previous post.The premiere starts off with some torture, mutilated animal heads used for torture, witches set on fire, and some people bleeding from orifices that should never bleed unless you've got like, the plague or something. And the crux of American Horror Story -- rape! Gang rape of an intoxicated/drugged female, and something I guess I'll call "revenge rape" to death of one of the earlier rapists. Rape all around. Good ole American Horror Story, doing what it does best.
At least those witches got their revenge, only killing one innocent guy in the process! Oh right, I guess we should talk about the witch aspect. It's going to look cool and to some extent already has, there's no doubt about that. There's some nice character diversity going on. For right now, though, there's no real villain yet so everyone seems kind of directionless. Who should we be looking out for? The Supreme? The outside world that'll burn them at the stake? Or will the student witches just have magical catfights leading to graphic death?
Even with all this going on, the episode ran a little slow for me, but I believe that's just in comparison to the climactic craziness of season 2. I mean, that had aliens, demons, rape, and a nazi. That's a lot to live up to. Guess I'll check in again next week to see what kind of horrifying nonsense will be stirred for those poor, poor souls.
