Still no answer and didn’t understand why, and some fans are offended, I believe?

Hotel

Trying to watch hotel for the second time, I’ve watched the first episode when it first aired but the spiked dildo was a little a lot for me so I just stopped watching entirely. I’m trying to give it a second shot now. I’m literally trying to watch the third episode rn but I’m just so bored and lost. I keep having to rewind scenes bc i space out...

does it get any better? Should I just skip this season?

The aliens and the rest of AHS

Am I the only one curious about how would Theta and the other aliens react to all the things in the AHS verse? Like... who's gonna tell them that some places are haunted? About the witches? The vampires? That there are literally demons and Gods? What if the aliens stumble in Roanoke during the Blood Moon by mistake and they get sacrificed out of nowhere 😭 Please i literally love how aliens don't know anything about the AHS verse and i'm really curious about how they reacted when the planet they were trying to conalize was devastated by the antichrist...

Fiona will always the best female villain in my opinion. All the evil ladies that’s shown up in Delicate so far….Take notes.

Anna Alcot

Do yall Love emma roberts in this role? I think shes so great. Anywho i think Anna is evil In her core. She knew what she was doing when she spoke to Siobahn, i think she wanted the oscar more then the baby because she found out Dexter was cheating on her amd was also very very psychotic. I mean can you imagine letting your whore watch you on cam With your pregnant wife?! Poor anna but instill Think she knew the whole Time what was happening regarding her pregnancy i mean she ate a fokin dead raqun 🦡🦝??!

Also where are the Ashley and Ashleigh lol those names are so dumb that it makes them so good 🔥

Delicate referencing Manson family?

Episode 8 begins with the shooting of Rosemary's Baby, which was directed by Roman Polanski, who was married to Sharon Tate. Tate implied that she may be involved with the Satan worshippers. What do you all think this would mean in reference to the Manson Family murders? Did they kill Satan worshippers, or did they steal Satan's baby?

Who does the witch council report to ?

In ahs coven the council in which Myrtle snow is a part of comes to investigate what’s going on at the academy. I’m just wondering because I forget does it ever clarify who they report to? Because if it’s just three silly witches I don’t know why the supreme even bothers worrying about hiding a suspicious activity when she could easily just take out the three of them. It would make more sense if there was a broader society of witches that they would report back to but it never states that.

If you don’t like the season you don’t have to make a massive post detailing why.

It seems like every post is about not liking this season BUT this happens every season. I remember when s3 was airing all I saw were comments about how it’s not like AHS and it wasn’t scary..etc and now it’s revered.

Every season is different. Yes the vibe this season is slow paced and different. Not every season is going to be likable or the same style.

Not saying you can’t share opinions but it seems that’s every post. I personally enjoyed this season more than some others.

Delicate ep 8 - Can we talk about the legs?

What was that, a hallucination? And were they snakes or spider legs? I know spider would be in line with the theme but they were slithering around like a snake when she was still under the covers and she picked off a scale...and I haven't seen anyone talk about this but it's all I can think about bc WTF WAS THAT

Also Siobhan was wearing a prominent snake necklace right after this to the award shown...coincidence?

Also why would she still be hallucinating if Cora stopped tampering with what she eats / drinks?

Some advice please

Hello all. I'm not a member of the sub, just looking for some advice please.

My girlfriend and I started AHS recently, from the beginning. Fist watch for both of us.

We're four in, and while we're enjoying it, we're struggling to muster enthusiasm for more than a couple of episodes per week. I think there's a variety of reasons for this. One is that it's competing for our time with Ripley, Fallout, Shōgun, some good BBC shows (we're in the UK) at the moment.

Another is that it looks a little long in the tooth for a 2011 show, perhaps not helped by the intentionally soapy look and atmosphere. It's fun, but also makes it easy to choose something else to watch.

Another is that we're both horror fans, but our tastes cleave more to folk horror, the supernatural, ghost stories etc. I realise Murder House involves ghosts, but I mean more in the traditional sense, such as The Others, Bly Manor et al. My own taste goes back further, such as the BBC's MR James adaptations.

So I'm wondering if anyone would recommend skipping Murder House (for now) and moving on to a different season that we might find more engaging? I wouldn't normally do so, but it seems silly to not let the anthology format play to its strengths when we're struggling to engage with season one.

Thanks in advance!

Delicate

i’m so sorry but Delicate has got to be the lowest funded season of AHS. the actors are horrible, the storyline is so predictable- i can’t stand it!! I keep watching the new episodes weekly but it’s just so stupid i don’t understand how every single actor/actress is as horrible at their job as they are 😭

Anna's blemish

I don't think I've seen anyone discussing that Anna has the same blemish as Ivy and her daughters. In the flashback we see that Ivy marks her daughters with the blemish if I'm remembering correctly. I binged all the episodes over a few days so some things are blurry. Does this mean that Anna is a descendant of Ivy? Did Dex's friend have the blemish when she was revealed to have joined their group? Is the blemish just a witch's mark of their cabal or coven? I know the question will probably be answered in the finale but I'm still wondering.

Delicate - Who’s who

Who is the lady that was seated at the ER? What’s her role?

And so Kim K is part of the group of witches that were messing with Dex’s ex in the episode prior?

Delicate and the parallels to other seasons

Just an analysis

Murder House

  • Pregnant women doing strange things (Anna/Vivien)

  • Infidelity of husbands (Dexter/Ben)

  • Bonnie on the side turning psychopath (Cora/Hayden)

  • Incompetent doctors (Dr. Charles Montgomery/Dr. Andrew Hill)

Coven

  • Famous and less famous actresses (Anna/Madison)

  • Sisterhoods/the concept of covens in general

  • Eternal youth

  • Fashionistas (Ms. Preecher/Myrtle)

Cult

  • The concept of a cult and its leaders in general (Siobhan/Kai)

  • Restaurant owners (Adeline/Ivy)

  • Ave Satanas chants

  • Sharon Tate’s appearance in both seasons

Apocalypse

  • Satanism as seen in both seasons

  • Black goats are an ongoing imagery

  • Mallory & Coco reverse as Ashley and Ashleigh basically

Did you catch any more relations? I just pointed out those 4 seasons because I think they are the most connected.

There is no point in watching this anymore

I hope people know I’m not coming from a hateful place, I’ve watched all seasons and ahs used to be my favorite show.

That being said I find delicate to be one of the weakest seasons yet!

There is still the finale to see for me but nothing will be able to redeem the time I wasted on this season.

The story was lacking because there basically was no story, nothing interesting has been said, no characters were memorable, the horror elements were incredibly cliche and weak, every episode was the same.

The only thing I can say about the season is that it looks expensive.

Ahs has never had strong horror elements but at least they tried sometimes and had a lot of gore.

I just feel like the unique soul that ahs seasons had is completely lost and I’m mad. I used to watch this show for it’s weird and unhinged characters as well as intriguing worlds. Delicate is void of humanity to me, boring and uninspired. I think I’m officially done with ahs.

Delicate rewatch

So after last week I just felt confused of the plot. So I started to rewatch yesterday and episodes 2-3 make so much more sense with everything I know now. and I can see it coming together I completely forgot Anna went through that door in the basement and found all the babies in those jars I wonder what was the point in showing that. Also Talia acting is she didn’t know one of the twins was doing the art exhibition and dex not seeing they are clearly twins is weird. there’s so many things that jump out that are obvious with the rewatch I was wondering if anyone else has done a rewatch and if any important tidbits that you care to discuss?

If Sarah Paulson was in this season she would have played Ms. Io Preecher or Dexs mother what do you all think?

NYC, is it worth watching?

So let me start this off by saying that I am seriously a die hard AHS fan and have watched seasons 1-9 so many times and I know them all inside and out. I enjoyed the first half of Double feature as well but I just don't care for the second half, and I'm absolutely loving Delicate so far!! The only season I've never managed to get into is NYC. I couldn't even make it through the first episode and I tried multiple times. Without any spoilers, I want to know if I misjudged NYC and should consider giving it another go? I just really want to like it but I've never been able to even finish the first episode because I get so bored.

Absolutely unapologetic post- why I think NYC was an incredible season.

  1. NYC was pretty cohesive from start to finish. Ryan Murphy seems to always stick the landing with the ends of his shows. He tends to go out with a big bang, but that seems to involve crunching SO many new storylines and twists into the end of one season while ignoring others.
  2. It was a horror that ACTUALLY happened. Similar to Cult, people understandably seek escape from reality regarding their entertainment, which (also understandably) turns people off. The AIDS crisis was REAL, and similar to COVID, it was turned political by many people. Besides big daddy's actions in the show- everything was accurately just an every day horror show for the LGBT+ community in that era.
  3. The ACTING! Those actors acted their god damn hearts out (I also have a very new and strange to me daddy crush on Joe Mantello). I understand that people are upset about the main actors leaving or being on hiatus, but cmon, the newbies did great, don’t let grief over loss cloud your vision of what's in front of you!
  4. The damn editing. If the final montage doesn't turn you into a puddle of tears then idk what will. The song and images were all so perfect and I spent way too much time crying over this season.

Enjoy the rest of the new season, fellow fans!

Delicate and Coven in the same universe???

Do we think it’s interesting that Emma Roberts has played a celebrity in Coven and in Delicate? This season is still yet to unravel - but what if Anna Alcott is also a witch - and she is the later version of madison montgomery. But maybe under a spell or hex where she doesnt remember her past life as a powerful witch? Do we think these seasons are in the same universe?
