Finally. I've been waiting for the Jesus Freak to die out.

I can't say I've hated this show or anything, but the story has basically hardly moved an inch since the first episode.

Would have been awesome had it not been spoiled three weeks ago on a magazine cover.

Also this season has been infinitely better than Asylum. If you think nothing has happened just remember how the Voodoo vs. Witches conflict has seriously escalated.

As for plot points, nothing can be worse than (asylum spoilers)
the useless aliens or the Nazi scientist.

Season rates at an 8.5/10 for me so far. Definitely room to go up or down depending on how conflicts play out.

What part?

what was in the box at the end of the episode
 
I think that's what Fiona was waving her hand over. Checking for traps/voodoo before taking it inside.
And an immortal head isn't magic?

Since I was expecting (hoping) for a bomb, I was thinking that the little wave would detect magic, but not something man-made/mechanical

How much better of a cliffhanger would that have been? Fiona brings the box inside, open it, huge explosion and cut to black. Then next week would be the witch hunter guy's assault on the coven

I guess I found it to be completely obvious what it was since right at the end of last episode they advertised a magazine with Madame LaLaurie's head on a plate on the cover. That and even if it wasn't spoiled it was dropped off in the exact same way the minotaur's head was.

So who the heck is the supreme? I am so confused after this episode. Nan? Misty? Zoe?

It's hinted that it's Misty. That's why Fiona tested her with the Jesus Freak.

Zoe is hinted, but not revealed to Fiona and since she doesn't have the power to revive (Okay, she did revive Kyle but with whatsherfaces help) it's unlikely.

Nan? *everyone in the room looks at you*

Nan: YOU ALL SUCK BALLS *runs out of the room crying*
 
But why would she say I am your supreme. And more importantly, when did luke and nan become an item.
I think Luke just sees it as a platonic relationship meanwhile Nan hopes for more.

When did she say "I am your supreme"? I heard a "what if I am your supreme" which was met with awkward silence

Yeah, okay. Mhm.
what the fuck

Yeah, this season feels so uneventful, especially compared to Asylum. The "war" between the voodoos and the witches needs to get started already.

If you think nothing has happened just remember how the Voodoo vs. Witches conflict has seriously escalated.

How has the conflict seriously escalated? We got each group sending the other a head in a box and a witch hunter who hasn't even done anything yet.

Voodoo witch reviving the zombies and attacking the girls?
 
This episode was all over the place, but it was also a total bore. This season kind of stinks. Too bad the writing couldn't be revived like all of the characters.

Much better episode than last week. I like the shifting dynamics in the coven, with all the resurrected cats coming out of their bags, so to speak. I'm glad Myrtle is herself again, and Misty is sort of part of the gang now, and that Cordelia and Fiona might have broken new ground in their relationship (from "my mother/daughter is a bitch and I hate her" to "my mother/daughter is a bitch and that's great!"). Also, that hot neighbor came back. About time. Too bad his awful mother got her ticket unpunched right when it looked like she was out of the picture.

I hope there's some sort of dramatic payoff in the next episode. Either the witch hunter husband thing or the witchcraft vs. voodoo thing needs to explode in a big way. I see no reason why the plot shouldn't accelerate toward wherever it's heading at this point.

BTW: I predict that Nan is the new supreme, based purely on the unassuming nature of her character and her inexplicable prominence in this season. I hope the supreme actually does turn out to be Misty though. But we know how much this show loves to throw curveballs.

Poor Delphine.
That's the 2nd time we've seen a decapitated head still alive.

A new supreme! I wonder if that's accurate, Misty is the chosen one. It does make sense, as she's revived so many people. So.. did Misty get shot by the witch hunter? When she was reviving the mother, she fainted. Unless that happen when you use full-power to revive somebody.

Did anyone wonder why Joan said "I made you and can unmake you" to her son?

There is honestly something more to her, I feel. It felt like such an ominous line and it was as if she was getting ready to do something.

And just why would Hank not only shoot Joan but linger on her before shooting her. It's almost like we were being told that Hank wanted to kill Joan - which makes me wonder if she is indeed a witch (but like Murphy said - a splinter coven of sorts who worship Jesus rather than some other kind of deity / god)

Oh, huge GIF but this is my favourite Myrtle moment so far

Here are some choice NON-SPOILER quotes. I am hyped a bit tbh.

You had mentioned that you wanted Stevie Nicks to come back. Is that gonna happen?
We have Stevie for another. Stevie will be in episode 10 and then we have Stevie for another one, doing an idea that she came up with that I thought was too perfect to say no to. Hilariously, Stevie read some of the scripts and called up and said “Are you aware that one of the things you’re doing I actually wrote a song about?” I’m like, “You’ve got to be kidding.” Then I remembered the song. We have something cool that was her idea.

Can you say what song it is?
No it gives it away!

Have plans for season four changed at all?
No that’s in stone. I’m already coming up with titles.

And you’ve started figuring out which cast members would be right?
Yeah I invite people when we have a character for them. People should never read into that just because some of your favorites haven’t been announced doesn’t mean anything. It’s a slow build and I keep adding on. Angela is coming back hopefully. Kathy is coming back hopefully. Jessica, Sarah, Evan. Franny Conroy we want to come back. We have a great part for her. And new people too! I love an actor I did The Normal Heart with, Finn Wittrock.

The opening way a damn mess and I thought Queenie was really flat
Her turning over to voodoo so quick comes across as quite shocking. She's gone from being timid to cutting peoples hearts out in a couple of days

Its nice that the story is starting to ramp up after a couple of quiet episodes. This war needs to happen sharpish, and I hope they tie people like the axeman and frankenkyle into it and not just leave them as weird love objects

What was the mum doing to christian boy in the bath? Like a bleach enema or something? Then locking him up in a cupboard? All very strange, definitely more to them.

i wonder if this is further proof that Luke Ramsey is gay, or at least his mom caught him (likely on the receiving end of a pounding) with a guy, and thus began the 'cleansing him from inside out' routine whenever she feels he's up to 'unclean' business. smh

1st bold: no really. We've been shown numerous times that Queenie has a somewhat demented streak up in her, and that she's always been in search of a place to 'belong' (i'm sure all that was quite obvious to the voodoo queen and she took advantage)

2nd bold: I'm thinking it might be a 'Carrie' situation, and Luke might be a male witch w/ his own powers... hmm!
 
I enjoyed last night. More than the previous two episodes for sure.

This witch war needs to go down already. At least kill someone! (Permanently too, though a talking severed head is cool)

I'm also digging this new mother daughter dynamic. I thought Fiona was going to act differently and didn't expect that exchange between her and Cordelia.

Voodoo witch reviving the zombies and attacking the girls?

I forgot about that. But it lasted like 10 minutes and there were no real repercussions.

And just why would Hank not only shoot Joan but linger on her before shooting her. It's almost like we were being told that Hank wanted to kill Joan - which makes me wonder if she is indeed a witch (but like Murphy said - a splinter coven of sorts who worship Jesus rather than some other kind of deity / god)

That's an interesting thought. A splinter sect of witches that worship Jesus. Cool idea.

Enough Evan please. No more Taissa either.

i wonder if this is further proof that Luke Ramsey is gay, or at least his mom caught him (likely on the receiving end of a pounding) with a guy, and thus began the 'cleansing him from inside out' routine whenever she feels he's up to 'unclean' business. smh

If he was gay though, why would his mom forbid him from going shirtless around girls?
