Skipping to season 8 of AHS

I watch American horror story strictly for the witches. After seeing season three, I'm eager to skip to season eight because I've heard that the witches are back. Is it okay, or will I be missing something?

I work the graveyard shift, which season should I rewatch? >:)

It’s been a while since I’ve seen seasons 1-6. Hit me with the seasons that you probably wouldn’t watch working all alone…

during the night shift…

where you can hear the eerily loud silence…

when nobody is awake except for you and whomever lurks in the darkness…

and when that darkness consumes the outside…

Annnnyways, thanks in advance guys 🥰

Roanoke was not good

I was so excited for season six (Roanoke) because most fans say it was the scariest season and it wasn’t scary at all it was cheesy, corny, and unfulfilling. 💔

Is it bad that i havent watched any season after apocalypse?

i just never really saw the appeal when so many of the main cast was gone. From what ive heard the new seasons arent that great which is another reason why i havent watched them, i feel like id just rather rewatch the earlier seasons

Can I just skip AHS Season 12 altogether?

I know each season is its own storyline. But I was barely able to make it through the first few episodes feeling bored and just disgusted with how awful Kim K’s acting is. I’m not trying to diss her, but I just cannot take the bad acting. One bad actor can ruin an entire show, and I have a feeling she ruined the season.

I just want to skip the entire season, however I’m nervous to do so in case there are Easter eggs hidden from this season in future seasons (we know AHS loves to do that, and I love trying to catch them!).

Does “NYC” season get better?

I’m on my third attempt with this season, and from the start I get bored with it… I feel no tension, I don’t care about the (very many) characters, and the story just doesn’t hook me. I’ve only ever been able to get about 5 episodes in. The overall production seems a little… plain. Even the camera work is just flat. . Does this take off at any point?

Questions about the Infantata.

Is the infantata truly Thaddeus? By this i ask do you think his soul is in the Infantatas body but tainted? Or did his soul move on while a demon or some other kind of evil took residence in the mutilated corpse that his father desecrated ? I feel like 1. the child was not killed in the house so it wouldn’t be tied to the curse of the house and 2. The curse of the house most likely started when his parents died. However my friend says it is possible that because parts of his remains returned back to the house to become the Infantata that it’s possible Thaddeus is also cursed to be in the house either embodying the Infantata or as an unseen ghost considering there’s ghosts there who’s bodies aren’t buried in the grounds. I told them it’s unlikely because that would ruin a bunch of plot points especially with Nora. What do you think?

Also If Thaddeus was stitched together with animal parts ( one point you see his father sewing a hoove on ) why do you think we don’t see the Infantata with various animal features attached?

Is the Infantata even considered a ghost? It abides by the same rules as the ghosts appearing and disappearing and being warded off, unable to escape the house.

One last question. When Nora asked about how the Infantata was reanimated Charles replied that he used a still beating heart from one of their girls.. did he mean that he killed one of their girls that came to get an abortion or he used the heart of an aborted baby?

I know this is all up for debate and personal interpretation but I’d like to hear what everyone else thinks the answer to these questions are.

The birth of Liz Taylor

is easily the most heartwarming, compassionate, beautiful and empowering scene ever created in any show. It's perfection. You can try to change my mind, but I won't.

The best episode of all time

Tagged as a spoiler for new viewers who might not have seen it yet (God I wish I could watch Asylum for the first time again).

I just want to ask a question I guess. Can we all agree that the final episode of Asylum - Madness Ends - might be the best episode of the entire show? I’m currently rewatching all the seasons in chronological order and damn Asylum is just a masterpiece in my opinion, always has been. This ending was just a cherry on top of an already delicious and exquisite cake.

This episode heavily features the amazing Lana Winters (now 40+ years older) portrayed by the incredible Sarah Paulson. This might be the most complete character this show has ever known. On top of that we get the eye-bawling death of Sister Jude who as well has had an incredible arc this season. We see the hauntingly beautiful Angel of Death (Shachath) - played by one of my absolute favourites Frances Conroy - in Judes final moments. This entire episode felt like a love letter to these amazing actresses and their heartbreaking stories all season long. I couldn’t keep it together while watching it. Although I’ve got 10 more seasons to go after this one, and 107 episodes to be exact, I can confidently say that nothing will top this breathtaking masterpiece.

Can I skip Season 9 / 1984?

I hate hate hate contemporary shows/movies that harken back to the 80s. I just finished Cult and Apocalypse and they were absolute bangers but this ninth season, I am just really not interested in watching. If I skip this, will I miss a lot of the interconnected lore of the AHS universe? I am okay if you guys spoil me in the comments. Thank you so much!

Am I crazy for not disliking Kim as an actress in this season? She kinda seemed organic.

How long until Mallory becomes the supreme

So we know that Mallory is the next supreme and we know that once a new supreme begins to rise the old one starts to die. Of course Mallory becoming the supreme was exasperated by the impending apocalypse but even without that I’m pretty sure she’s next in line and with her coming into her own at the academy how long will it be until she rises and Cordelia dies? Ten years maybe fifteen? Seems unfortunate that Cordelia is destined to die so young but I guess that’s just the life of a supreme.

Delicate

So I finally finished Delicate. My biggest problem with the show is that Siobhan is evil. In the book she’s good and if I remember correctly she sacrificed her own life for Anna’s baby.

Ryan Murphy is trying to tell us something?

With everything that has been happening over the past few years, I don’t think Ryan Murphy is too far from reality with his theories—witches, cults, government conspiracies involving medications, and deals with ‘ovnis.’ What do you all think?

Newer seasons, Why so much hate?

The newer seasons of ahs get a lot of hate on this sub!! Seems like it started with double feature (i personally liked red tide) from then on theres been so much talk about how AHS has fell off or how Ryan Murphys is too distracted with his other projects (grotesquerie is reallyy good) and American horror story has changed for the worse I mean.. to me it hasn’t am I the only one???? I get that people like the lore.. and the nostalgia from connecting stories to earlier seasons (which I also love) but it isss an anthology series what do ya expect? Anyways I don’t see a downward spiral with AHS what I do see is change that makes me excited to see what’s coming next .. do you like the newer seasons?
