I died at the line about Halston selling out to JC Penney. God bless that crazy, Myrtle.
I just give up with this show. Now all the witches have Supreme powers? I am still holding out hope that the final wonder is singing Baby Love and the girls lose out to Miss Diana Ross and then Diana kills them all while The Boss plays over the closing credits.
I have no idea what this season was supposed to be. Even last season held together better than this one. This is like a soap opera on second-rate crack by way of Sweeney Todd. Piecing together any kind of theme seems like too much work now, especially since my gut instinct is it's simply about how horrible women are, and how horrible women are to each other.
The AHS finale was so disappointing. I was SO excited for this season, and it failed for me on so many levels. Bah.
I thought it was a wonderful finale, and that this season was much better than last season. Though S1 was still my favorite.
So there were two moments in this finale I liked:
Myrtle in her red dress marching towards her funeral pyre while Silver Springs played was everything!
Knotty pine! Goddamn, I love Jessica Lange.
Everything else was a big ol' yawn. This was definitely my first and last season with AHS. I did enjoy the acting but the story was just ugh...and no...and yeah, no again.
I still think it would've been a million times better if Diana Ross had been the real supreme.
kat, I agree that "Knotty pine!" was awesome. And I did love Myrtle's dress.
Also this, from the AV Club recap, practically sums up the whole season:
I did find it appropriate that the wonder that Madison choked when performing was divination. The idea that she couldn’t see beyond herself was a nice bit of ironic justice almost certainly arrived at accidentally.
I loved season 1 of AHS. I stopped watching season 2 about halfway through. I watched all of season 3 but didn't really enjoy it at all, and felt relief when I deleted the season pass. I'm not sure if I'll watch season 4.
Sarah Paulson looked stunning at the end of the show, though!
And I loved the little Stevie Nicks video at the beginning.
I only sort of liked parts pf season 1, so I haven't watched since, but I have avidly followed y'all's comments and discussions. I think I've enjoyed reading along here more than I would have actually watching the last two seasons.
Anyone remember when it seemed like this season of AHS would be about Zoe's murderous vagina?
This season was really shit, especially this episode.
