Cordelia: You're undone and defeated, son of the devil. Give up and be redeemed. Michael: gently caress you I won't do what you tell me Cordelia: Welp, okay, I'll just let you gently caress off to develop a plan to execute your revenge. See you later!

OAquinas posted:The Papa Legba request was out of his normal range, yeah, but the ask was also rather steep--Satan is apparently real and a Big Deal, and his kid has been loosed upon the world. Entrapping that kid would probably have blowback on him--or at least be some sort of strain/inconvenience. Thinking about this, it makes a lot of sense. I could see him wanting to save the world for his own ends, but its a lot of risk either way. That offer to Cordelia would give him an excuse and then an army of helpers to defend himself against the blowback. OmegaBR posted:When are they gonna get to the fireworks factory?! Yeah, this was another slow, largely redundant episode. I feel like this week and last week could have been combined into a single, much better episode. I will say I really liked the part where God is presenting the son of Satan with temptation as he wandered and fasted and doubted. But really the best part was the cute little snakes exploding from the severed neck of the demon goat.

Really enjoyed the Black Phillip cameo, but I feel like this should be a 12 or 13-episode season for where we are: aren't there only two left? Strangely, I don't mind that the plot is still so meandering: it still feels like they are throwing spaghetti at the wall ala Asylum, but I guess they are doing a better job of weaving the new plots/characters into the story. Despite the fact that it was a pointless, 25-minute Silicon Valley parody with the Mop Top Twins, I actually enjoyed them. Sure, they could have crammed that all into 1 act, but more Bill Eichner is always welcome.

Doltos posted:At this point I wonder if it's going to be two seasons to tell the story I'm expecting this season to only jump back to present in the last episode, whereupon Supreme-Mallory will kill Michael and then un-make the apocalypse or something, since she's been shown to be strong enough to undo just about anything with minimal, if any, damage to herself (unlike Cordelia completely roasting her arm to bring back Myrtle). However it ends at this point, unless there's a second season of entirely present-day witches vs Antichrist, it'll probably feel really anticlimactic though.

That whole scene could have been infinitely better if it was revealed she had a trap waiting, tried to spring it and he just teleported away since he's established as being able to do that very well. Hard to corner a guy who can appear anywhere instantly.

Or him just shrugging off whatever they threw at him as he angstily walked away. This much filler this late in the season makes me worried that they don't have anything left. We're not going to see the sanctuary or any more cool post apocalyptic stuff, just witchfall and I'm a big fan of Coven 2, but I feel like they wasted the apocalypse setting.

This might be an odd question but what is the name of the opera the Satan choir was singing and are the lyrics specifically about Hell or something? It’s used in every apocalypse/Satan based media ever.

There's nothing satanic about it. The song by Carl Orff just goes well with all kinds of war scenes in movies or whatever else matches with the style, so it's used a lot.

CODChimera posted:Anyone else wish they had just stayed with the apocalypse stuff? I thought that had some real promise. Yup, me too. It's had a few good moments but other than that it just drags along. I feel like there's quite a lot that just doesn't click for me, maybe because I'm a straight white European so I miss a lot of references. Like I could do without that 10 minute song a couple of episodes ago. It's one of those cultural references I simply don't get. No idea who the singer was, no idea why she was even there, and Coven's been too long ago for me to remember what her part was in that. I liked the last episode though, but I don't really remember the one before that except for the ending and I think I didn't miss much.

My knowledge of Stevie Nicks is "Oh I remember her from the Heavy Metal soundtrack and GTA5's Rock Radio." I remember her from Coven since the cameo was equally grating.

I'd been down for an AHS season that's just wasteland guy going from place to place, finding hosed up things and shooting them with a shotgun. I don't know why they can't ever wind down a season right though. I thought we were on a good track to hit a final episode at 12, but 10 means they are once again going to have to suddenly scramble to stick the landing. American Horror Story. American Horror Story never changes.

They'd probably had that Coven spin-off series if the first Coven was as competent as this one, disappointments about the apocalypse be damned. I'm really not sure what happened the last few seasons but it seems the creators really took a lot of the negative reactions from earlier seasons and really tried to fix them up. Hell, this season has been a good epilogue for two other seasons, which is crazy. ED: I am sort of disappointed the Asylum alien babies never figured into this.

You could chalk it up to poor time management. Arguably every season has had a happy family-oriented ending, and to reach that ending, it requires a lot of things to just sort of happen all at once. There have definitely been time skips in the past, but ultimately serve only to wave away all the loose ends. Bad guys get defeated handily, while other bad guys are just sort of accepted for who they are and quarrels are resolved due to their ultimate plight (which usually ends up being everyone's dead/stuck together, so screw it, none of dis matters.) The thing with this season, is that the time skip was backwards, and they've taken so long to bridge the gap between Michael's rise and the bomb, that you now have a greater buildup of anticipation as to the final conclusion. In past seasons, things were always at a steady progression, no matter how goofy they ended up being. But all that exposition doesn't change a single thing leading up to the final battle between them. All it did was fill in a few details, and really none of them have been satisfying enough to justify it (unless you're a diehard Violet/Tate shipper.) I think it all comes back to the death mechanic they introduced in season one, which put it in their heads that, once you're dead and a ghost, the stakes disappear. That way the people they want to survive (which has almost always been Sarah Paulson's character by the way,) can do so, even if they did kill you. Or the aliens come take you, or the witches resurrect you, or you go to Heaven, or you live on as a vampire, or you sort of ... just stop being crazy, I guess.

esperterra posted:But it also has the Jessica Lange redemption arc with Evan Peters' family and a happy alium abduction Doesn't one of the wives go mad, leading to the total collapse of Kitt's family? I guess I'm saying that the show doesn't necessarily do happy families forever every season, not that concerns of happiness or family aren't relevant in finales. (But I think you'd be hard pressed to find finales to tv shows that aren't about families and happiness in some way, shape or form.)
