The only way the ending would be satisfying is if the time reset somehow makes things worse and there are no survivors in the whole world.

I know this gets said for most seasons but I'm still amazed in the quality drop from the start of the season. Maybe it's because Cult managed to stay consistent.

"outpost construction" I'm hoping this is all leading up to a cliffhanger and a revelation that there's a second continuous season that ties in freakshow, asylum, roanoke, and cult

Since they've made like the old scifi serials and stitched the series into one universe, might as well do another season of this nonsense...I'm down if nothing gets resolved next week, but am expecting a wet-fart finale.  Still a great season, loved the Illuminati stuff: the worst part is we don't get any more.

OmegaBR posted:They need at least one more episode to lead to the bomb going off and getting us back to the grand battle, which I worry about, because they've never been above plot armor and deus ex. I foresee it leading to a bunch of deaths and sacrifices that don't mean anything because they'll be brought back to life, and the world will begin again with a bunch of Eves who will do it right this time. Unless, god forbid, this series finally uses the one tired no-thought Hollywood trope it hasn't yet time travel. Yeah.................. When Myrtle said that bit about going into the past, I groaned out loud. Of course it's considered a myth. Of course it's super easy to do anyway. And of course they still won't let Cordelia die so as to lend her strength to defeat the antichrist, who has killed off most of the coven and is about to bring the end times. Anyway, since I'm unfortunately on a bit of a roll, here's my finale prediction: CoCo will still kill the devil's son because she finds out about his crippling gluten allergy. However, the time travel is actually a red herring. Rather than go back and prevent all this from ever happening, Mallory will instead use her god-like resurrection powers to re-flourish the Earth in everything the bombs burned, essentially turning it into a new Eden that the coven will lead. Basically, that bit in the quote about starting over, only with a bunch of Eves instead. ....And 40 minutes of Outpost Construction before all that happens in the last 5.

Pinwiz11 posted:The real twist: Two seasons? This is what I've been lowkey hoping. A big mashup of seasons being the first American Horror Story to have two parts would be fitting. That said I fully expect it to end abruptly next week. And I'll probably still love it-- this season has been great even if it crashes and burns, imo. Also I loving love Billie Lourd and I'm glad she's becoming a Murphy staple.

I can't help but feel like, as another poster mentioned earlier, they're still just trying to distract from the 'present day' stuff, with it being Halloween still and all. No matter what goes down, they're going to Deus ex some bullshit out because of that, like... gently caress if I know... have every ghost on Earth rise up and punch Michael in his dumb face and then we get time-travel retcon after the threat is neutralized so it never happens in the first place.

How do they decide how many episodes each season is? Had a quick look on the wiki and it varies in between 10 and 13 so they must have a pretty good plan to end it on 10...

They probably give the producers a budget and then they decide whether they can divide it into 10 or 13 parts. Promo said next ep was the finale.

Time travel, especially time travel shoehorned in right before the finale, is so Goddamn lazy and if that is how they defeat the antichrist the whole season will be retroactively ruined for me. I did like the shot of the warlock pentagram at the end. So I take it the coke nerds weren't controlled Kathy Bates the entire time, just when they wanted to steer Michael towards nukes?

Fan theory: the time travel spell sends Mallory, coco, and voodoo lady to an olde time which is the setting of the next series. I'd want Madison to go too so she can dress down foppish dandies of the past but she ded.

Isn't Papa Legba is going to be REAL angry that the voodoo lady was treating with satan instead of him? Maybe he's going to lead all them ghosts up in there and wreck some poo poo. I don't know. I'm just spitballing at this point, who even knows with this stupid show anymore. e: maybe next season is the 13 episode talk show pilot that Langdon mentions she bargained for. I would be ok with a Faux-News daytime talk show themed horror season.

Time travel does seem to make the problem trivial. Like they don't even deal with Micheal or the Satanists at all if they go back to before he was conceived. Travel back in time and murder Micheal's biomom before she moves into the Murder House. Travel back in time and stop ghostdad from becoming a school shooter and dying (or at least stop him from dying at home so he doesn't become a trapped ghost). Travel back in time 80 years and burn the Murder House to the ground before it accumulates so many ghosts. Travel back in time and tell the lady that was Supreme before Fiona that the coven needs to buy the Murder House, cleanse it if they can, and prevent people from living/dying there. Or they can turn it into a retirement home for witches that want to become ghosts. Whatev.

Facebook Aunt posted:Time travel does seem to make the problem trivial. Like they don't even deal with Micheal or the Satanists at all if they go back to before he was conceived. A. Stop Murder House from being constructed. or B. Stop the Harmons from moving into said house. or C. Stop the ghosts from killing Mr. Harmon, allowing him to raise Michael with a semblance of normalcy. or D. Prevent Constance Langdon from ever moving into the Murder House, thus preventing a good 70-80% of the spirits there, including Tate. or E. Tell Ryan Murphy that maybe his Coven sequel is going to turn to poo poo if he goes with a time travel reset ending.

Stop Murder House from being constructed. My bet is on: F. Heal Michael's soul so he doesn't turn evil in the first place, or at least comes back from evil. They've setup over and over there's good in him, and that he's been pushed towards this outcome. If they deviate his destiny, they fix everything. Dienes posted:So I take it the coke nerds weren't controlled Kathy Bates the entire time, just when they wanted to steer Michael towards nukes? Part of me still thinks the coke nerds realize what a colossal mistake everything has been, and that the actors from the forward timeline are the same characters (not that we'd expect that due to the way AHS plays with actors). Mostly because otherwise it's odd that two characters are going to pop up in the mind wipe mess. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 11:59 on Nov 9, 2018 |

Blazing Ownager posted:My bet is on: This is why I included Option C. The time we see him happy, with someone who genuinely cares about him, was when he was living in the Murder House, and getting help from Ben. If Ben had been allowed to walk out of the House, with Michael, as he originally intended, things would have gone way differently. It's the only option I can think of that isn't preventing Michael from being born, and instead giving him an actual chance.

Yeah, I think there's something rather wonderful about the antichrist being terrifyingly powerful, but also completely directionless. He really did need better parents. I think there's some really wonderful satire in the idea that Michael was never really motivated to complete ultracide, and that the actual instigators are a pair of under burdened tech idiots who are compelled towards destruction thanks to a lethal combination of narcissism and boredom. "Traffic was really bad this morning! gently caress this planet!" "Yeah!" Also, I never thought I'd say this, but Billy Eichner is much better at being a douche-y coked up frat guy than Evan Peters is. You get the sense that the character's so drug hosed that he doesn't quite know what he's saying half the time, it's really funny.

This season is also far from really loving good it's a complete mess and going no where. They wasted 5 something episodes to explain the apocalypse. It was a total bait and switch.

I feel like Hotel is pretty polarizing. Some people enjoyed it, some have hated it. I also think this season has been bait and switchy to an extent but it hasn't been a "mess".
