American Horror Story [US Pace - FX - Spoilers]

Hunchback

Thumbs up from me

Fairly average season - its plotting was a bit of a mess, leaping about the place although at least they brought back SCUM at the end so it wasn't a complete waste.

Felt suitable watching the finale today on the day Manson died, given how much Kai based his cult on him.

I really liked this season, it was one of my favourites. Yes it was all over the place at times with people switching sides and whatnot, but that's never not the case with AHS, and in this occasion at least it felt like there was a plan mapped out at the start that accounted for the twists (except for that feminist character). The episodes worked as standalones delving into other stories yet all fit the bigger picture, which is what an AHS Series should do. A welcome return to form for me.

I'm watching it late but I only watched 5 episodes before I called it a day. Terrible season.. Apart from Peters and the lesbian wan the acting was brutel

I'm so excited, and so confused.

Will the first episode of season 8 be available on Netflix today, does anyone know?

gmisk

Really enjoyed the first episode of apocalypse.
I have missed a few series tbh so watching cult as well.... Its an odd one so far does it get better!?!
I don't think it will be added to Netflix one at a time as far as I know.

TerrorFirmer

Do you need to watch Cult to watch this, is it linked in any way? I really didn't like Cult and gave up after two episodes, though I've seen the rest of them.

smilerf

Cult was just terrible. The worst one.

leggo

Won’t spoiler it but the end of episode 1 was a direct crossover with series 1.

Wolverine359

I liked the second episode of the new season, no sign of the characters from Coven yet but Michael Langdon is adding a nice eerieness to the proceedings... Looking forward to seeing where the story leads.

The major link is Langdon. He takes the name from his father, Tate, from season 1, and adopted by his grandma Constance (Jessica Lange).

“Langdon was the child of Tate Langdon (Evan Peters) and Vivien Harmon (Connie Britton) who was born during the events of “Murder House.” It was revealed in the epilogue of the season finale that Michael is in fact the Anti-Christ, which will no doubt tie in with the “Apocalypse” theme of the new season.” (variety.com)

Oh wow, thanks for pointing that out, Langdon rang a bell but it just didn't click at all!

E mac

Just watched Ep 1 of apocalypse having never seen any other episodes of previous seasons will this be a problem? I assumed every season was different??

TerrorFirmer

Is it just me or is this season atrociously bad? I enjoyed up until Hotel but thought Cult was bad so I stopped watching....but this is even worse.

It's definitely bad, crap in fact.

I'm really enjoying it! It feels more like the first season to me

Michael Langdon shagged his own daddy (the rubber man gimp) or is Evan playing a new character not Tate?

Not sure what to make of this new season. The past couple of episodes have been entertaining, but it also feels a bit fan servicey rather than actually creepy/horrific or making any interesting satirical observations on society at large. I worry this season could fall apart as several have in the past, but for now I'm at least intrigued. Already it seems VERY Ryan Murphy at his worst impulses in seemingly throwing away the original storyline in favour of something completely different, but I'll give them time to tie it all together before I write it off.

One question:

is Kathy Bates playing Jessica Lange's character from season one?

I feel like I might be missing a tie-in there as they explained her origin in quite a throwaway fashion, or is it a new character for this season?

She's playing a new character,

she's seemingly a robot and Langdon made a vague reference to her being programmed based on someone from his childhood, which would likely be Lange's character from season 1.

leggo

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, they had a scene of them in a kitchen together and it looked like the same one but I couldn’t tell if it was the same one.

duffysfarm

I have a question - can't remember the character names but one of the warlocks was at a petrol pump getting petrol and was killed by the woman. I presume this was pre apocalypse? The episode wasn't clear on this

leggo

Yeah the past two episodes are all flashbacks. In the present timeline, the witches have just returned and confronted Michael.

Liamalone

This series is heading straight to the bottom of the pile. Pity.

Wolverine359

^a bit harsh! I’m enjoying it a lot.
