American Horror Story Review: A Treat of Many Tricks Comments (Page 2)

    Remember in the first episode where Tate and the shrink were talking about tates fantasy, and for a moment tate saw himslef, all bloodied around his head, standing next to the doc?

    Tate is dead, and I believe how he died is why he has such fantasies. Drowning in blood.. and I think constance, being the only one who is not dead yet knows both tate and moira - killed him for some as yet unknown reason.

    I hope it doesn't get cancelled before we know much more!!!

    I have to say that I hate the fact that it never occurred to me that Tate could be Constance's son...that makes a lot of sense! When she waved to him from outside, she seemed pretty excited to see him hanging around the house. Also, Addy specifically mentioned that he talks to her, so maybe he's trying to keep some contact with a sibling??
    I figured, once Tate told the story about the Doctor and sewing the baby back together, that the...creature in the basement was whatever weird thing the doctor was able to re-animate. Tate obviously has some sort of connection with other ghosts in the house --in 'Home Invasion' when he told Violet to draw them into the basement, and the ghosts of the nurse and Marie(?) show up, etc., and when he and Violet lured that girl down there and the...thing appeared and cut her face. He ovbiously knew that something would help "take care" of those people (though he did axe that one girl pretty hard all by himself). He told Violet that he had help when sh

    I don't know why I like this show so much. I read the reviews and comments and consider all the theories tossed about therein and wonder whether we're all even watching the same damn show. Apparently chaos and confusion can be appealing with the right presentation. Who knew?
    As a subscriber to DirecTV I echo Christina's fear.

    I think the reason why Moira, Chad, Patrick, maybe Tate, cant leave the house is because they died in the house. In the previous episode when Hayden was killed and buried, she was dumped on top of another body, which I think is Moira's. There is a thing that the spirit of someone who has died can stick around until their bones are burned. This is probably why Moira can't leave and move on. I think that Tate might be the mutant baby thing or be a part of it because he knows about it and he kind of creeps me out. I can't wait to see what the nurse saw on the ultrasound! It must have been awful for her to pass out. Why did they not wait, and did they just leave the nurse there on the floor?

    Loved this ep! I think Tate is Constance's son. She claimed to have 4 children and only one was physically perfect but she lost him to "other things". I also think that Tate's father is the man in the suit (not the man she shot). I think the house is collecting children but it want's its own children if that makes any sense. lol I don't think Tate is stuck in the basement as we've seen him in other parts of the house but I think either is so connected to the house by birth or death or both(since Constance and her husband owned the house)I think it's safety to assume he died there also.

    Fantastic episode! Sometimes I can't believe that I'm still watching AHS simply because I've never really been able to watch anything remotely scary. I'm so hooked, though, even with recent nightmares because of this show.

    One more thing: The fact that DirecTV might not carry FX scares me more! :(

    Really off-center, but...anyone else notice how incredibly cute Tate is?! That just adds to the fact that his story-line is one of the most interesting to me, I'm excited to find out what happened to him!

    Although Dr. Montgomery and his wife had a baby son and were given back the body parts of such (gruesome and horrific ):), it does make sense that Tate could be their son. Dr. Montogmery could have had a Victor Frankenstein moment and used the body parts to create a pseudo-son of sorts. I am really interested to see the true identity of Tate, and if his looks are really true to his pre-death form, considering that ghosts can distort their figure in any way they please. At first, I was a bit weirded out by the show, I mean, the guy jerks off in the first or second episode, but looking past that and examining how many story lines and plots this show concerns, as well as the number of ways that the story can drastically turn, I will definitely keep watching, as I am truly intrigued!

    I think Tate is Dr. Montgomery and his wife's dead son. I think that is why you see the scary mutant thing with Tate in the basement when they are trying to scare Violet's bully. In the ghost world it's possible to change how you look apparently considering how Moira's appearance is different to women than men. Plus, Tate knows all the details and history of the house and when he was telling the story to Violet he even said that the mutant baby stays in the basement until this very day. He looked hurt when Violet said that was the stupidest story she's ever heard and said she doesn't believe anything Tate says. She also asked Tate why they always hang out in the dark depressing basement instead of going out on a real date. So that's my theory anyway. Seems logical. I guess we will all eventually find out in the end!!! =) I freaking love this show!

    *Another quick thought: Tate's mother only ever appears on the phone... It is very possible that this "mother" does not exist at all.

    I am officially obsessed with this show. This episode was amazing! There are so many questions that are going through my head, but for some reason I just really want to know who Tate is.
    (a) He's definitely not one of the twins grown up, as their names are Bryan and Troy. I think the fact they dressed Tate in that matching blue and green striped sweater was a red herring.
    (b) I don't think he is the man in the gimp outfit. The actual 'gimp' man (shall we call him Gimpy?) seems to be physically larger and muscular than Tate. Even if he was Gimpy, it doesn't make sense that he would go after Vivien. He's supposed to be obsessively in love with Violet.
    However, there is the possibility that Tate is being possessed by something. The episode where Tate freaks out, beats his head and screams "get out" could suggest that whatever is controlling him... which would make it logical to think that Tate impregnated Vivien so that the "house" or "thing" can keep getting more babi
