I'll wait for the season to end of course before making a final judgement but Season 2 ended on a magnificent high note (Probably the closest this show has gotten to being legitimately good in a non-campy sort of way) especially after they cut out some of the dead weight (The doctor, the possessed nun).

No telling where this one will go. My biggest concern is, like others, I really think that Zoe is god-awful.

No sympathy for Delphine, but Queenie is like, all over the place right now.

Hoping that Sarah Paulson's role grows.

Yeah, so far, I think Season 2 was light years more entertaining than Coven. Was it batshit and all over the place? Pretty much, but this dying and bringing everybody back to life is less about witches and more about superpowers. As for warlocks, I doubt they make an appearance now with just 5 episodes left before the finale. Or, if they do, they'll be crammed in from nowhere and underdeveloped like the axeman, the witch hunter and frankenkyle.

'American Horror Story': Jessica Lange on why next season will be her last

"It ends up being a lot of time during the year being committed to something,” admits the actress. “I haven’t done that for a long time. It’s like doing a stage play between the rehearsal and the run. This is a 6-month commitment every year. That will be four years in a row. I want to have more time to myself I guess. Once it’s over and I have a full year ahead of me with nothing to do, who knows? It might not have been the best decision. But I think four years doing something is a sufficient amount of time.”

Also,

Co-creator Ryan Murphy says he’s already begun planning Lange’s AHS swan song. [...] More importantly, will Lange once again play the lead role? Says Murphy, “No but she’ll have this great juicy part.”

God's had his chance.
So it's basically a done deal that Zoe is the new supreme tho right? No matter what the show runners try to juke around and say?

The voodoo queen saying "They got some serious magic over there now..." when Zoe turned off zombie mode...

The close your eyes and know exactly what to do trance shit she has goin on...

the fact that they are lining up her and the Dean of Blindness as a twosome to fear...

I can just see her "Hero" moment now... fucking corny one liners and that dumbfuck look on her face for the entirety of the last two episodes.

5 episodes left? ... so lets see ... in true AH style they probably WILL introduce a male coven either next week or after that. Then have queenie and bad bitch racist come to terms and be the new mocha couple to watch in new orleans. Witch hunter Mc'Guns show up along with Axeman and lets not forget frankenstein threesomes and zombie hordes cause why not. The witch council will come back and the whole thing will come to a head before they just shunt like 6 of their plotlines out the fucking door with out any fucking fanfare at all and then try to make a twist out of who the next supreme actually is...

This writing team has such good ideas but NOBODY up above them to veto all the fat away. They at least seem to be smoking slightly less meth than they were in season 2 but unless they start dropping people next week the finale will just as big a clusterfuck as the others.


Save the show and make Nan the supreme. bam.

Still think Asylum is the best so far.

Zoe stabbing that guy all of a sudden? Made no sense. This bringing back to life nonsense completely robs the suspense.

Zoe killed Spalding so he wouldn't tell Fiona or cover up for her. What I don't get is why Zoe didn't ask about Myrtle. Argh Zoe why are you so dumb? Even when she tries to be badass she fails.

^ That is so amazing. Haha. I love Myrtle, eagerly awaiting her return.

As for the latest episode, I admit it wasn't as action packed as previous ones but we are getting setup on things.

I think I read through this thread, but has it been mentioned that people think that Queenie might be (THEORY alert)
possessed or something
.

I mean after Queenie visited Marie,
she kind of trailed off as if she had a purpose and Marie's face while looking at the gumbo kind of made me think she'd done something to it

I'd argue Zoe is just being naive and assuming that since the council sanctioned the burning of Myrtle that it didn't need discussing.

I personally think Queenie is still working for Fiona. Or at least I hope she is, it would explain her change of heart in regards to her coven.

Because Zoe doesn't know that Fiona lied. She wasn't told this, IIRC?

I meant to comment on this after it aired, but that "millennials" monologue by Madison was cringey as fuck.

How dare this show try to make any kind of commentary like that and have Emma Roberts deliver it. So bad.

If only.

You mean Roberts. And I sort of agree.

After seeing the name of the show around a few places, I went ahead and watched the pilot episode of season 1... what the heck is going on? @.@;;;

I'll probably keep watching it, but I can tell I probably won't like watching it. I started the hour slightly curious and ended it tense and strung up.

It all went downhill when that dood in leather showed up and now she's pregnant...oh man...

If you think that left you tense and strung up, just wait until you get to the (light spoiler)
school shooting scene
around mid-season. Having read a book about
Columbine
, that scene seemed a little too real for my liking.

I'm catching up with last week's episode now.

Ugh, sixty seconds in, I'm tired of Frat Kyle.

Ahhhhhhhhhh nobody cares about the fact that Zoe's got a gun.

So Emma Roberts is soulless and dead inside. Art imitating life?

Another inept Zoe moment. First he took the gun then he tried to kill himself and she stopped him. Make up your goddamn mind, girl. God she sucks.

Oh hey Queenie and Lalaurie bonding, hahaha.

Oh shit, Hank's drunk. And has a fucking arsenal. And Delia knows! And Fiona gonna fuck the axeman! And Queenie feels bad.

Can't tell if this is sexy or creepy. Classic AHS.

Hey maybe the Axeman will finally off her. Or... Get off with her.

STOP MAKING POOR CHOICES, ZOE.

Oh hey Emma Roberts is trying to act. Effort appreciated. God, I hope no relationship happens here. Keep it platonic Murphy pls.

Finally, Delia knows shit. Somebody nearly competent.

Lol, "kill her dead" so redundant.

OH MY GOD MURPHY WHAT THE FUCK I DIDNT NEED TO PETERSON'S ASS AGAIN. Classic Madison though. So stupid.

Ah the morning axer.

Lol axeman be a pedo creeper.

Oh, spitting some Ayn Rand objectivist shit.

Ew... Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew. Serious creeper. Complicated sums it up.

Fucking lol, this sultry sax music.

Lol kiss and slap.

CULMINATION.

Omg Spalding be talking.

Of course he kept his own tongue.

Lol,this just feels like Zoe's all butthurt about Kyle and taking out on creepy ass Spalding.

He looks like he's trying to hold in the most epic shit while he moans.

OK, from zero to sixty. Alright then, Zoe. Straight up murder.

Queenie and Lalaurie talking. This is not gonna end well.

Oh god, this flashback is gonna be fucking horrific, I don't wanna see it.

JESUS CHRIST, MURPHY.

Good Lord.

DO IT. GO MAX PAYNE BALD. FUCK OFF SAXMAN.

"The ladies always come back to The Saxman."

Lol, they gonna share Kyle as a sex toy. Fantastic. Do girls share vibrators? Cause it kinda seems like that.

Frankenthreesome!? Oh. My. God.

They went there.

Oh Delphine you straight up fucked.

Its a testament to Kathy Bates' acting that I feel bad for Lalaurie at the end there.

The fuck, Angela Basset? You do the blood thing too? Christ. Oh wait. Oh.

I don't know the guy but I am surprised that it looks like Angela Bassett will make it throughout a whole season. I seriously assumed that the story would be MAJORLY rejigged towards the end and all those "guest characters" who have been in every episode would be killed off.
