Thanks to @DylanJames18 for the heads up.
Ryan Murphy has said in multiple interviews that clues regarding the fifth season are scattered throughout the first few episodes of "Freak Show." In his most recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murphy confirmed a major clue that has since set off a whole slew of theories. In Episode 4, "Edward Mordrake (Part 2)," a cop hands Emma Roberts' Maggie a coffee cup with a top hat printed on it. "That is a big season five clue!" Murphy told EW of the top hat. "It’s an arcane clue, but it’s very purposeful, and it illuminates something that you’ll be like, 'Oh! You dirty [bastard]!'"
Redditor ace_VXIII posted a fan theory on the series' subreddit last week that seems to be the most convincing one yet. This one proposes that the top hat may signify Operation Top Hat, a "local field exercise" that occurred in Alabama in 1953, one year after the events of "Freak Show." The operation involved the United States Army Chemical Corps testing biological and chemical weapons, mustard gas, and nerve gas for decontamination. However, the experiment was never submitted to the Secretary of the Army for approval and those involved in the tests were supposedly not informed of the circumstances. This sounds like creepy, secretive "AHS" material if you ask us.

Huh, I'm not sure about this. Ryan should stick to supernatural horror because I love those storylines.
ReplyDeleteBut knowing Ryan he'll still find a way to add supernatural in there somehow. Anyway he also mentioned some people got the theories right already so maybe this is it or maybe it's not. I'm more curious about how each season is connected with one another now more than what the next season will be
ReplyDeleteI remember looking at the cup, but can't put my finger on it..
ReplyDeleteHills Have Eyes? Could be cool.
ReplyDeleteSo what's this show like? I thought about giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. That is pretty much all you need to know. Definitely watch it!
ReplyDeleteMeh. I hope they keep the connections at the minimum. It kind of defeats the purpose of an anthology series.
ReplyDeleteIt is good, the two first season were great. In my opinion, the third one was the weakest one. The current season it's been great so far! You definitely should give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I really hope there'll be a season without any supernatural aspects whatsoever. I feel like this season would have lend itself to this approach.
