episode "Murder House" was a huge info dump that provided clear backstories for characters, in addition to a large number of rules to how the house claims ghosts. By no means does this season have to follow the same episodic pattern, and we have certainly been treated to a good amount of backstory this far, but what last year's third week told me that this show wasn't going to rely on making its viewers hypothesize for weeks and weeks. Instead of shows like Lost (which I dearly love and will endlessly defend) where answers are shortchanged, AHS gives a good amount of the answers upfront, letting viewers enjoy the ride, familiar with the tracks on which it moves. This season's narrative is certainly more focused than last year's, but I'm hoping for a little momentum as far as reasoning for differing characters. We now know that James Cromwell has a small penis (another sentence I never thought I'd type), but apart from scientific curiosity, does he have a larger endgame? Same goes for this demon. Is it just around to stir up trouble for demon's sake? These lack of answers in no way bog down the narrative (we're still only in the first quarter of the season) but instead of them just giving some basic inklings of what is happening, we may be better serviced with a more focused track to follow. Again, it's not stalling as this hour did feature some important movements, but the next week or two
