We’re already four episodes in FX’s “American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare”, and even at a taught 10 episodes, there seems to be quite a bit of filibustering. The biggest momentum shifter in last night’s episode is that Lady Gaga made her first full appearance, and looks to be the series’ main antagonist. We learned a lot about the Roanoke people and the mysterious word “Croatan” that wasn’t so special after all.
Weirdly enough, I’m quasi-invested in the season and actually starting to enjoy it. I just wish they’d move the needle a little quicker, although it’s hard to complain when they condensed the season to half of its predecessors.

Here’s a look ahead in which the ghostly Roanoke people attack Shelby and Matt, only this time there’s a “blood moon”, which gives them the ability to actually do them harm. Again, with the duo speaking in the past tense during a documentary interview, it’s impossible to have anything at stake when you know they’re going to live. Let’s wait and see what this massive shock/twist is come next episode.
