We wrapped up the season in a very AHS manner.\u00a0 As you will see, there were some fans, and then there I was bitching and moaning.\u00a0 If you’re new to the blog, my name is Kent and I ask the questions and get some unique answers.\u00a0 Any comments in bold are from me unless otherwise stated.\u00a0 Please enjoy!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Kristi: \u00a0I am. I enjoyed it. <\/span><\/p>\n Raylene: Not really Michael just got super angry and was taking them out.<\/span><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0I think it could have honestly been executed much better. I am all for Cordelia going out like a badass, though. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, the execution existed but could have been better. \u00a0Cordelia went out like a champ.)<\/b><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0Yes! I thought it was amazing. <\/span><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0It’s a coven full of women, so I think they did pretty well by using their conniving ways. I had a better answer last night as is was falling asleep but alas, it’s gone! \u00a0<\/span>(Now I am curious what your \u201clast night\u201d answer was.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0It was fine, but that should have been a longer showdown. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t so much the quality, but really, that was so short. \u00a0I would have enjoyed it had they took their time with it. But this is what happens when you waste two whole episodes!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: I really liked all things this episode. I think it was written well. Having him die alone in the street solidified it for me. <\/span>(Him dying alone was probably the only part of this that I liked. )<\/b><\/p>\n Raylene: So that\u2019s how you take the antichrist out by a car? <\/span>(What, were you expecting something cooler?)<\/b><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0Eh. I mean she could have hit him a couple more times for good measure. \u00a0<\/span>(At least use a sledgehammer at some point while listening to Peter Gabriel.)<\/b><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0I thought it was true AHS style. Weird and a bit off-putting. <\/span>(You\u2019re right. \u00a0I couldn\u2019t have said it better myself, so not gonna try.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0I mean she had to do it some way! I’m surprised he actually died from that, but I’m glad they took it back to Murder House and Constance kept him from condemning the home. It showed the gentle side of her heart. My husband had a thought though, in this moment, and thought maybe she would take him to die in the house so that his soul couldn’t escape. I wonder if that was a plausible option, as well? \u00a0<\/span>(The idea of the house containing his soul is an interesting one. \u00a0It goes back to something I never seem to shut up about. What are the limits of his power? \u00a0Could he have escaped the house? You would think so. But then again, you\u2019d expect the antichrist to not get got by a car.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I get it, doesn\u2019t mean that I gotta like it. \u00a0It was silly in that AHS way. I would have liked something. \u00a0He got got by a vehicle, not by magic, and some people will find that poetic or something. \u00a0There are no wrong answers here. Was I looking for something cooler? Yes, yes I was. Like, what the fuck was Zachary Quinto doing? \u00a0He could have come and just killed him quickly, as Zachary Quinto.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0Absolutely! She had to go for Malory to become the new supreme. She made the right choice. <\/span>(I believe these are Kristi\u2019s thoughts on Cordelia and Michael, soooo it\u2019s like a bonus answer to a question that I didn\u2019t ask. \u00a0I can dig it.)<\/b><\/p>\n Raylene: I think she did she didn\u2019t want to keep cleaning up after Michael anymore and wanted to spend her days with her children without stress from him. I think if she brought him back into the house to die he would have tortured everyone. \u00a0<\/span>(He possibly could have done far worse things. \u00a0If he doesn\u2019t know his powers, does he have them? \u00a0Superman was Superman no matter what, but Luke had to be trained by Yoda, so I\u2019d like to know which is it with Michael.)<\/b><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0Definitely. Constance was already a hot mess as it is. Having the Antichrist as your Grandson has to be the icing on the cake. She couldn\u2019t take it anymore. <\/span><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0She sure did. She was afraid of him and didn’t want to be afraid anymore. <\/span><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0As I said above, she did what was right for the souls stuck in the house. She kept Michael out. Who knows what would have happened if he did get stuck there with the others. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I am starting to realize how bad my questions were this week. \u00a0I openly apologize.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: 1. The reveal that Langdon was the devil’s spawn. I wasn’t sure about that. 2. I really enjoyed watching the episode of him bringing the witches back. The scene in the lab was really good for me. 3. I also enjoyed the last scenes of the devil’s child, Rosemary’s baby if you will. <\/span><\/p>\n Raylene: I enjoyed the reality of the world could actually come to an end like that and it could happen to really have these outposts. The 3 were pretty smart to bury themselves in the Louisiana swamp to survive. I liked the scenes where Michael and Mead were in the deli and Michael taught the meat man a lesson<\/span><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0I loved Cody Fern being implemented this season. He blew me away and I cannot wait to see him used more in the future. I did love Mallory\u2019s character and I feel like she was a wonderful addition to the coven. Her healing was amazing. And I really enjoyed the flashbacks to Murder House. The Murder House episode was one of the best.<\/span><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a01. Madison’s personal hell tickled me so much because I could identify having worked in retail a thousand years ago. That would probably be my hell as well. 2. Seeing Coco as not a bitch and a decent human being really put it all in perspective and I was rooting for her. 3. Tie-ins to so many seasons really were my favorite parts. <\/span><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0That’s a toughy because we all know we loved the comebacks. I’ll word it differently then. 1. I loved that we got to see some more history of Coven as well as the introduction to the male counterpart of warlocks. 2. I enjoyed that they finished off loose ends from one of the most iconic seasons if not the greatest: Murder House. Putting Moira to rest and reuniting both Ben and Viv and Violet and Tate were heartwarming moments we’ve been hanging onto for years. 3. I also really liked that they united the different forces with a common goal of defeating the anti-Christ; bringing together a couple warlocks, the witches, the Voodoo Queen herself Marie Laveau. That was awesome!<\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a01. Moira finding her mother was probably my favorite part. \u00a02. Coco\u2019s insults were top notch stuff. 3. Stevie Nicks\u2026\u2026…hahahaha. \u00a0No! I\u2019d say that they cleverly snuck Hotel into this season and gave Evan Peters 4 characters to play. \u00a0Also, Brock taking on those dudes in the wasteland was badass.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0I don’t know that I can give 3 instances but the season started really slow for me. The first episodes were not great for me. Annoying ass Coco and sitting around in the safe place was a bit boring. The dinner scenes and them sitting around listening to music replaying. I didn’t love that. Also, when Langdon came in and we didn’t know what was up. It bothers me to not know what was up. I know it was all a build up but it was annoying. <\/span><\/p>\n Raylene: When they brought John Henry back for pretty much nothing. Anything to do with Coco her character never grew on me and we didn\u2019t get much with Papa<\/span><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0I kind of hated the two dumb and dumber dudes. I feel like they could have been better. I don\u2019t like that we didn\u2019t get to see what could have been Coco\u2019s full powers. And bringing John Henry back was almost pointless.<\/span><\/p>\n Melanie: I didn’t see the point of the three dark hooded people coming to the houses. I enjoyed seeing the lady who plays pepper as something else, but I really just didn’t think they added anything. That was the only thing I could think of as truly a dislike. <\/span><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a01. The entire “coconut head” story. Those were two stupid characters with a stupid storyline. Just stop. 2. Sandra Bernhard. I thought these scenes were poor acting. 3. The flow of the season – we could have done without all the time-traveling scenes. It became confusing a lot of the time deciphering where we were whether it was present or past.<\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a01. How lame they handled the Satan worshippers. \u00a0They made them so cheesy. I didn\u2019t like that at all. \u00a02. How they misused Angela Bassett and gave Adina Porter too much screen time. \u00a03. The last 15-20 minutes. Also, lack of man ass left me without many of my favorite AHS jokes.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0Queenie<\/span><\/p>\n Raylene: Constance, Nan, Queenie<\/span><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0Myrtle & Nan.<\/span><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0Constance, Nan, and Queenie<\/span><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0Of course Jess, Jamie Brewer and Frances Conroy. Honorable mentions: Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, and Angela Bassett. You couldn’t keep me to just 3, man.<\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I don\u2019t think that this is allowable, but I don\u2019t care. \u00a0I am including Myrtle & Moira as one pick. I love Frances Conroy. \u00a0James March is an obvious one\u2026…except I am the only one to choose him. \u00a0What the hell? Last one\u2026…I want to say Misty but I will go Madison. Ben would have been my 5 and Nan my 6. \u00a0The 2 black characters that I loved the most got less than 10 minutes combined screen time or else Marie and Legba would be up there.. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Raylene: Mead, Joan, <\/span><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0Mallory, Michael & Chablis.<\/span><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0Chablis, Mallory, and Myrtle<\/span><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0Mallory. Bubbles. Behold.<\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0Coco, Mallory (her hair), and Mead. \u00a0I feel bad for Venable because she deserves some love.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Raylene: All that build up for the grand fight in the end just to be let down I mean really he was killed by a damn car. Would have been nice to actually see Satan himself. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, at best we got a shadow. \u00a0More Hell stuff in general could have been way cooler. \u00a0We did get a got though.)<\/b><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0There could have been more going on. I feel like it was all this build up for almost nothing just to have the \u2018Antichrist\u2019 be born again. \u00a0<\/span>(Nodding my head.)<\/b><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0They could have added more to some of the middle episodes. They were a bit humdrum. <\/span>(Still nodding.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0Bringing Fiona back, dammit. <\/span>(I am officially becoming a bobblehead!)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0To echo Kelly because I feel like I asked for it in like half of these blogs: Fiona and Axe Man. \u00a0There are so many to choose from here. John Henry in general. The f\u2019n wasteland!! Mutants could have been cool. \u00a0They barely explored the apocalypse as a background in some ways. Marie LaVeau could have been given more than 3 damn minutes!! \u00a0I could make this into a multi-page essay.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristi: \u00a0I did enjoy the ending. I like that Mallory got Mikey. I am also pleased that we have a new devil spawn. AHS will continue. That pleases me. <\/span><\/p>\n Raylene: No just made this whole season pointless so the same exact story will be told with this new antichrist<\/span><\/p>\n Cece: \u00a0Nah. Not really. I liked the erasure but I didn\u2019t like it \u2018happening again\u2019. Pointless.<\/span><\/p>\n Melanie: \u00a0New Antichrist, no. I felt like they didn’t leave as many unanswered questions which is great. <\/span>(You\u2019re right, not as many unanswered questions, and the ones I do have, I don\u2019t care about getting an answer anymore.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kelly: \u00a0Eh, we could have kept the storyline and it wouldn’t have mattered too much but I do like that Mallory made sure her coven was alive and well to live another life. I don’t like that we have a new anti-Christ. I do like that they reunited the young lovers from the shelter, but I don’t care for that storyline with their child. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, they really didn\u2019t give us much with the 2 younger people. \u00a0I thought both would have had a bigger story considering the first 2 episodes.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0Fuck no!!! \u00a0Out of everything that bothered me, this was the biggest one. \u00a0This made the whole season pretty much pointless. It\u2019s like \u201cHey guys, here\u2019s 9 and a half episodes\u2026\u2026.and it\u2019s gone.\u201d \u00a0Then they flip us the middle finger while giving us a golden shower. Not okay!!! Just have the damn apocalypse. I am so much happier with that idea. \u00a0Even if you don\u2019t like South Park, watch this because it is beyond relevant to this season.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
