Season 4 will take place in the year

Spoiler

1950

.

Better than modern day honestly.

Damn good cold opening. Fucked, even.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

lol @ the blood fetish. She's mad!

 

[Judderman]

YAYYYY QUEENIE AND MARIE ARE BACK

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Did I miss something? Queenie alive, Kyle talking? Bates body?

DA FUCK

 

[Trigger]

Queenie!

 

[RELIGHT]

Sweet so we get a mad men American horror.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Ok I hate that there's no explanation about Bates and Queenie, I must have missed something. I mean I understand Kyle was "working" with Fiona but all of a sudden he's a normal guy, talking? Witchcraft, I guess.

 

[KibblesBits]

Hahaha, that shot of her looking at the three of them in bed.

edit: wait, she just fed them shit didn't she?

 

[ghstwrld]

Queenie for supreme, I guess.

 

[Trigger]

Myrtle is so wonderfully weird.

 

[RELIGHT]

Ew

 

[indigo-cyclops]

WHAT IS HAPPENING

 

[Trigger]

Oh lawd

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Well, Im confused

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Hahaha, that shot of her looking at the three of them in bed.

edit: wait, she just fed them shit didn't she?

:lol

I thought it was blood from someplace.

RIP to that dude's toes

 

[Judderman]

Yay, Spalding!

 

[DR2K]

Madison is amazing. Will Emma Roberts be returning for the next season?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Madison is amazing. Will Emma Roberts be returning for the next season?

I hope not. I find her character beyond obnoxious. But I suppose that's necessary for balance.

Poor Cordelia

 

[KibblesBits]

Oh dear.

OH SHIT.

 

[Trigger]

Gaaaah

Cordelia gurrrrrl

 

[DR2K]

This is the most squeamish episode. Yeesh. =/

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

oh my god!! lol why!

 

[KibblesBits]

Bad Butler.

 

[Judderman]

HAHAHAHA

The power of that which shall not be named!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I want a theremin, badly.

 

[RELIGHT]

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Huh..

 

[Trigger]

Oh no

 

[RELIGHT]

"Dis ain't magic, dis a antihistamine."

 

[KibblesBits]

FUCKING DARK AS SHIT.

 

[Judderman]

Oh no.

 

[Judderman]

Kyle, don't you remember the last time you were in a bus?!

Aw. I thought Madison was going to be outside and just flip that shit.

 

[DR2K]

Kyle, don't you remember the last time you were in a bus?!

Aw. I thought Madison was going to be outside and just flip that shit.

Yeah I was waiting on that. Guess second time isn't the charm.

 

[lordfroakie]

Kyle, don't you remember the last time you were in a bus?!

Aw. I thought Madison was going to be outside and just flip that shit.

Same :x

 

[TheSeks]

Madison is amazing. Will Emma Roberts be returning for the next season?

Please no. Her character is a delightful bitch, but I don't need two doses of it.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh man, Axe Man on a four killstreak. Calls in the Fiona killstreak bonus for maximum damage.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

This season has really gone downhill. The first 2 episodes were decent but good lord has it dropped.

 

[StopMakingSense]

The scene with the eyes was the most NOPE thing ever.

 

[TheSeks]

So many back from the dead. Good lord.

 

[Velcro Fly]

This show is getting quite the reputation for all build up and no payoff although it's better than last year.

 

[DR2K]

Please no. Her character is a delightful bitch, but I don't need two doses of it.

I need it in my life. I guess I really just like Emma Roberts, since Scream 4.

 

[blackaroni]

Tonight's episode was a lot better than last weeks shit fest. Everything (from the cemetery scene to her being stabbed) about Angela Bassett in this episode was just awesome. I really wish we didn't have this supreme BS going on because the younger witches are just terrible...including Cordelia. They're still bring back at least one person per episode I see and it's a damn shame. The writing and pacing of the show have been pretty bad too.

For next season, they should only bring back Bassett, Lange and Bates and use completely new people for the rest of the cast.

I quickly scrolled through this thread but I haven't actually seen anything about this episode yet, but I have been doing some reading about season 4 and thought I'd do a recap of what we know.

TRUE

• The fourth season will be set in 1950s.
• Shooting will occur in either New Orleans or Santa Fe
• Season 4 will be the opposite of Coven. So expect something dark like Asylum(?)
• Jessica Lange's character will be appearing in a reduced capacity with a German accent.
• Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates have both been invited to return and they both want to do it.
• Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Frances Conroy have been asked to return, but no word on if they actually are or not.
• Patti Lupone has been invited back, but nothing has been confirmed.

YET TO BE CONFIRMED

• Ryan wants to cast Finn Wittrock but has yet to finalise anything I don't know who he is, but here's his IMDB page
• Potential guest stars for Season 4 include Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Chiklis.
• Ryan wants Reese to play someone really fucked up, but she's apparently always booked so it's hard to get her on.
• 
  Connie Britton wants to come back too. Dylan McDermott said he'd enjoy any role in the franchise.
• Emma Roberts is "just waiting to be asked" to be on Season 4.

RUMOURS / UNSUBSTANTIATED

• Lily Rabe won't be returning due to her commitments with filming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
• Jessica will be playing a Marlene Dietrich type of character.
• Season 4 will be a science fiction western. (The clue is the Thermin in last episode)
• Taissa Farmigia won't be returning as she will be busy filming Star Wars: Episode VII
• The show will take a circus theme

Clues have allegedly already been appearing in episodes. Some fans have already speculated.

Orlando
The theremin
A colorful poster in the background during Queenie's conversation with Cordelia
Conspicuously UFO-like overhead lamps during the conference
Several German name drops
Pruning shears
A doll with bloody tears

The most conspicuous for me:

Harrison's line about "Ridding the State Department of Communists" (in 1950, the Red Scare was in full force).

The Orlando thing threw me off, but then when I looked into the symbolism, I interpret it as this:

2 beings, Zoe and Kyle, escaping the "mother land" to go towards safety in Orlando...

Using the Orlando thing as a "clue drop", the "mother land" can mean Russia (fueling the Red Scare/Cold War theme) OR it can allude to the literal sci fi nature defining the "mother land" as another planet.

Either way, alien invasion will be part of season 4.

Fucking christ the eye stabbing scene

 

[Nemesis_]

I just saw it. I'm so surprised that there is so much gore in one episode, usually the series has a rather "equal" distribution of the gore but this one just had EVERYTHING.

I like the direction all the characters are going in - Lange and Bassett really shined in this episode and we finally see the psychotic side of Bates come out FINALLY. I was waiting for it to happen and I'm glad it did.

Now that everyone is out of the picture, I'm excited to see the witches and what not turn amongst each other.

I really love all the characters right now. Especially Marie and Myrtle. Two of the standouts for me.

EDIT: Emma Roberts is "just waiting to be asked" to be on Season 4.

Take that as you will.

Where is Mr. Bertboil, need gifs lol

 

[Fenderputty]

I enjoyed last night episode more than the last. Quite a bit more actually. The axeman's rampage was good, but honestly I was hoping for more from a cult of witch hunters.

At this point I'm basically just pulling for Cordelia and Myrtle.

Yea the bungled so much with this season. Could have been darker than Asylum. More interesting. Instead it's like a bad vampire novel or something. It's hard to stay invested in it, but then you get a nice episode like last night's. Problem is, every episode should be that good.

With two episodes left I'm not sure what will happen.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Cordelia's eyes aren't necessarily gone btw. The witches can transplant some more :shrug:

 

[kirblar]

Wasn't there some sort of drama with Roberts?
