Wondering where they're going to go next. They've used up quite a few of the more common horror-related tropes:
- Season 1: Haunted House
- Season 2: Insane Asylum
- Season 3: Witches' Coven/Voodoo in New Orleans
- Season 4: Carnival Freak Show
- Season 5: Haunted Hotel/Vampires
I don't care for all the gore fest this season. Or maybe it's just not the same without Jessica Lange. 
Me too. I got tired of last year's freak show angle. The haunted hotel seems far better suited for the format.
The blood & gore has risen to almost humorously unbelievable levels that would make Sam Peckinpah blush.

I say Jessica Lange should make a guest appearance at the Hotel Cortez and sing like she did last season! 
I’m watching for Matt Bomer as well
Haven’t seen any previous seasons of this show, except of the one episode last year where he guest starred in (which didn’t make me want to seek out the rest).But after the pilot this season, I also was really intrigued about how all the stories will come together, which is good, as it would get pretty boring just waiting for the Donovan scenes I guess. It is a great ensemble cast. Plus I love the old fashioned hotel, the whole scenery and costumes.
And I guess Matt wanted something as far away from Neal Caffrey as possible. Which makes sense.
Are you still watching each week?
Almost anything would be...season 4 was the weakest season of the series.
Quick question: after Alex and Liz emptied the pool of coffins, and she went down with John and they found it empty, there was a scene of her and Liz breaking glass. What was that? Did they break the coffins? I don't get it.
How weird that John took baby Bartholomew home with him. And yet the only repercussion was that Scarlett now thinks he's crazy too.
The Countess has been a pretty cool character for the first few episodes (other than, you know, when she kills people and drinks their blood), but in this episode, she seemed to show a much more evil side. While Alex seems to have taken a much more motherly role around the hotel, helping wherever she was needed. I almost wonder if Alex might replace the Countess at the end of the series. She seems like the type that would treat all residents with love.

Yes it looked to me like they were breaking the coffins. Getting rid of the evidence, in case he went looking for them elsewhere. Pushing John further down the madness trail.
The forces are definitely gathering against the Countess. Very few left on her side. Alex is definitely not treating her husband or daughter "with love".
My questions are: was there any reason for Wittrock to play Valentino too? Is there going to be some connection?
As for poor John, what's with the girl in the psych ward? That didn't seem realistic to me. Is he hallucinating that? Is he hallucinating the whole thing? Is he the killer?
I thought this season started off a little jerky, but I think it's hit a nice stride now.
Hello Queenie from season three Coven. Errrr - good bye Queenie.
yeah. didn't see that coming.
Kind of an odd finale. The first half was pretty sentimental and a bit creepy and the second half was creepy and partly sentimental.
