Last episode was great, and almost makes up for the two preceding ones.
Lady Gaga has really impressed me this entire season, and she really nailed it this time.
For the next season I don't wish for any specific theme, I just want Ryan Murphy to be busy with his other projects and letting a writer who knows a little about building a story handle the script. Sure, Murphy can send him/her some notes with insane plot ideas, but they should be allowed to toss away the ones that don't work.

Hey guys, good guesses and suggestions, but don't forget to get your sleeping bags all rolled up because next season we're going to CAMP.

American Horror Story, Season 6: CAMP, Wednesdays at 10:00, only on FX tm

Of all those suggestions I think Cult is the most reasonable, they could probably do a lot with that. An orphanage would be a good setting for a season but I don't think they'd call it Orphanage or anything, it'd just be part of the setting.

Evan Peters has always asked Ryan Murphy to make an AHS in space. No joke.

AHS in space would own. I mean, ALIEN. That's all you need to get started. Frankly there's lots of great movies and material to draw on for horror in space, especially if it was a futuristic Star Trek situation where an intergalactic federation travels around and explores new galaxies. What better way to shake up the roles that the recurring cast always play than letting some of them be aliens? Think of all the fun and disgusting alien possibilities!

Next season should be AHS: TV Show, where a TV executive producer slowly starts going insane and the cast and crew can't do anything except read the increasingly humiliating scripts

I wouldn't like AHS: Space. Part of what got me on this show was the theme of season 1. It felt like an all american story drama from ABC family laced with horror elements. It was kinda scary and kinda campy, a good balance in my opinion.

Asylum was good too, but in a different way. I couldn't relate to being in a 1950's mental institution but it made up for it with going a little bit more on the scary and shock value. It reminded me of House on Haunted Hill and other scary films about landmark locations. Then Coven and Freak Show came along and just made me go :| on the over the top campiness and the lame attempts at horror.

This season is getting a bit back on track in my opinion.

I think there are many possibilities with a space setting, but Murphy would probably mess it all up.
The main draw of a space setting is the isolation theme. This is used well in many diverse space movies like Alien, Moon, The Martian, Gravity, Event Horizon, 2001: A space odyssey, and even on isolated earth locations like in The Thing.
The setting could be in our time or in a far future, it could be about a space station, a ship or colonists on a far planet. The danger could be from an alien race, a disease, a space ghost or other humans. Thing is, Murphy would mess up the isolation theme by adding more and more cast along the way,and would then add space werewolves, serial rapists and a troup of killer midgets, and would tell most of the story from the viewpoint of the monsters and the drama in between them.

It's better than Coven and Freakshow. Beyond that, your mileage may vary.

LIke all the seasons it has its ups and downs. Overall it's been pretty strong with the fantastic cast really shining. Then, like previous seasons, it goes off on some weird tangents, introduces a few stupid sideplots that never are mentioned again and introduces ten new monsters while you were blinking.

That's actually a really good idea but it feels like it would be Freak Show with trees. Like someone said before Murphy needs a building to base the season around or else the plotlines get scattered. Coven wasn't that bad in the first few episodes when it seemed like the Witches school was going to be under constant siege from zombies and voodoo ladies and minotaurs. Then it just sort of all flooded out into New Orleans and got lost.

I think a camp themed season would be cool, you could explore burial grounds, a murderer on the loose, paranormal activity in the woods etc.

i think the camp theme may be reserved for Scream Queens season 2 (if it happens)

honestly, any AHS setting would need to have an excuse for good fashion and pomp, so space (or anything where isolation is a theme) seems unlikely. Woods may be though and we can have a bunch of hunky hipsterbeard lumberjack werewolves?

AHS: Boogie Nights (a haunted porn studio in the late 70s having its final heyday before vhs's taking over. Cue ghosts of dead porn stars, a lot of cocaine, weed, and befuddled grips and prop masters). A lot of terrible fashion. A lot of parties. A lot of sex. A lot of drugs. A lot of death and killing and hallucinations. You can have all kinds of crazy rear end backstories on porn stars and producers and set people. All kinds of potential for revenge killings/revenge fucks/dramatic suicide. It's got all the components Murphy needs to butcher something.

We just started season 3 The Coven and I laughed the last 5 odd minutes after the one girl hosed that guy to death.

I don't know how that can be topped. Might just skip straight to the 4th season.

Skip that one too, and just go straight to the current season.

Coven was stupid and bad, but I at least finished it. I made it halfway through Freak Show and was so bored I gave up.

Just watched through Season 4. Worst of the seasons imo. I would have given it maybe 6 or 7 out of 10 until the last 2 episodes just seemed to wrap things up terribly and made me go from better than I expected to really disappointed.

Though Dandy's death was neat.

Also I couldn't stop laughing at the cop instantly changing sides and shooting the daughter. Though, it was odd they didn't use it at all later in the story.

It was kind of neat watch, but not up to snuff with the rest of the series.

I hated season 4 so much, it was so agonizingly boring.
I had such high hopes for season 3 but it just became so goddamn stupid.
Emma Roberts just made both seasons so much worse. I realize she's going to be showing up at some point and I am trying to vaccinate my psyche in preparation by rewatching S3 and trying not to fast forward through her scenes but it is so drat hard, I just cannot stand it. At least she's not part of the regular cast this season. I really don't think I would've been able to watch if she was.

Finished season 3 last night and really mulled over it. I took away four things.

1. You think loving someone to death is stupid? You have seen nothing yet.
2. Everyone is a catty, bitch 24/7 making every scene unbearable when the characters talk to each other.
3. I get it Gabourey Sidibe is super fat. Why is everything she says related to food and eating?
4. After the first two seasons, everything was predictable and not even a single scare.

You think "a secret army base in New Mexico" and "an old school 1947 newspaper office" don't have the potential to be full of old school fashion and pomp and also aliens and then also the cold war begins and also the "little people" cryptids of the south west and gently caress it, speaking of cryptids, there's been a bunch of sightings of pterosaurs in the area, doesn't have room for a horror show?
