I was also secretly hoping that someone would ask what part of the snake they were eating. Then have Kathy Bates respond with Snakes don't really have parts, but the closest thing would be a knee. (From water boy )

QuoProQuid posted:AHS seems like an incredibly fun series to participate in as an actor. It's got to be low stress too. If a big movie part rolls around, they can either reduce your role or flat out skip you that season only to return with absolutely no repercussions the next season. In shows that are less self contained per season that sort of thing always blows up the quality.

Someone is a huge Stevie Nicks fan I guess. It'd be way more hilarious to have had her get into a magical battle with the Antichrist than sing again. Let Stevie Nicks go out of the AHS universe with a bang.

70s singer as well, as she was also the vocalist of Fleetwood mac. Among her fans, accusations about witchcraft have been common for years, due to her youthful appearance and vigor (she's 70 years old). One of the coolest details in Coven was the story about the immortal swamp witch Misty Day, who lived a hermit life and had an almost religious spiritual relationship with the music of Fleetwood mac, claiming that Nicks was CERTAINLY a witch, as there was no other explanation for her haunting vocal performance. It added some fun flavor to Misty's character and plot, and it didn't really need any closure (much like the Anne Frank subplot in Asylum where it never was revealed if she was telling the truth about her identity or just was delusional). Of course, Murphy had to destroy that ambiguity by revealing that Nicks was a legendary white witch, and gave her a central part in the last few episodes.

kjetting posted:70s singer as well, as she was also the vocalist of Fleetwood mac. I always heard that Nicks requested to be a part of the show after she heard about Misty. And Coven was a particularly unrestrained season of television, even by Ryan "Just Say Yes" Murphy's standards. Edit: Still think this extended flashback's building up to a bunch of the witches snuffing it. Hoping that Nicks gets taken out by Dark Warlock Marylin Manson or Perfectly Normal Tom Waits or something. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Oct 11, 2018 |

I feel like the majority of people who watch this show don't watch it for the nuanced plot though. The issue I have with how they used Steve Nicks is that she literally came out for a musical number. They didn't have her do anything or contribute to the plot. She's just the great White Witch that showed up randomly to dance with Misty Day. Just pure laziness.

Hey Queenie don't forget to tell Madison and Behold witch powers are extremely useless against ghosts on their own turf. You know, just in case their mission leads them to one or two.

I don't think Queenie knows about it. One thing I will absolutely gripe on is that people will just disappear and no one will ask any questions. It really feels like people just come and go without it being noticed or commented on. Like Billy got in, killed someone, and then... uh... maybe hung around for a day? Maybe left? No idea. Not mentioned yet. Which sucks cause I want more Apocalypse Billy Adventures.

In terms of living people who'd already been in the bunker to know whether or not to ask that question, not really. CoCo's the only one who even knew he was there in the first place, and the show didn't waste much time in jumping right to flashbacks after a cursory "hey remember that you're witches?!" from Cordelia for her (CoCo) to ask if he was still lurking around.

Yeah also a ton of other poo poo happened pretty rapid fire. Literally the entire group of purples were murdered, then Miss Venable was, then a bunch of witches showed up and resurrected several of a recently killed people then got into a confrontation with the Anti-Christ. Not a lot of time for an investigation to take place. Plus his plan was probably to murder her and then maybe steal some poo poo before sneaking back out quickly. At best Michael maybe knew he was there but didn't care that he killed someone he was planning to kill anyway and let him do his thing and peace out. Or he could still be lurking, taking advantage of the chaos of everyone dying to hoping to stake out a place to loot/survive. He's definitely an unknown variable but it's not unreasonable to surmise that the only people who know he was even there just assume he snuck away the same way he snuck in.

I really like how the male witches are the inferior ones thought to be jokes. While a bit cliche, it's a nice statement about sexism in general with a side of it being bullshit no matter which gender is dominant. It's a fun detail. I've like how the last few seasons it seems like they like to put some political stuff in but walk this interesting rope of not being preachy about it and giving you kind of a both-sides-of-the-coin view. Cult did that super well: No ideology was off-limits for comment.TheBizzness posted:Hopefully we just don’t see her anymore. The sequel to one of the worst (or best, in a 'so bad it's good' way) seasons of not just the show but TV in general has ended up being, ironically, one of my favorite. The narrative is so much more coherent (yet still insane) this time, and so are the characters, but what really sells it is the world building. The big problem with Coven was how sloppy the world building was, esp. with the greater magical world. It was a confused mess. This time around, they have really established stuff in a solid way; I understand the players. I understand the motivations. I get why the characters are doing what they are doing and have a sense how the magic works. Part of me feels the current male Coven would fit fine in with like Dr. Strange or something, but that's not a knock. I like them a lot. All this really adds up to make a strange season even stranger, and I mean that as a compliment in this case. Am I the only one that feels like American Horror Story has been on a straight upward incline in quality since Freak Show ended? ED: BTW I noticed the goon theory that they would undo the destruction of the world got echo'ed hard this episode with the "She didn't just heal the wounds, she undid them.." scene. ED: Also I like the returning characters quite a bit. Coven's plot felt like it let down some fun characters, so seeing they actually pulled the trigger on Misty coming back and brought Queenie back I feel like they really know what worked the best in that season and dropped the rest.

Honestly, if someone asked me to recommend two episodes of AHS: Coven to give an idea of what the show is about, it would be these past two episodes of Apocalypse. Coven was at it's best when it focused on the Coven, and could have used a bit more of the Voodoo Coven as well. If it had dropped all the extra poo poo, like the Axeman, witch hunters, lovely neighbour lady, creepy butler, etc., it would probably feel more like this. And I say this with Murder House/Coven being my favourites.
