However, they did set it up nicely for it's own series. Which is what I've heard is going to happen.

I read in a recent interview that Ryan Murphy will never go back to something he's already done in relation to AHS. So I dont see that happenening

Thoughts on the finale'.

I'll have to admit I didn't get as involved in this season as I did the first two. I think women might have a different opinion- particularly younger women. Stilll, there was enough to keep me interested, some real high points that make this show stand far above most other shows on TV.

This finale' was more cohesively plotted than previous finales' I think. The "who's the next supreme" kept me guessing, and I liked how it resolved.

Seeing Fiona after she came back from the dead was shocking- she really looked frail and near death. And her version of Hell I thought was very effective. I felt sorry for her being stuck with that guy for eternity.

The 7 trials- the girls' visions of Hell were kind of lame, IMO. Seriously? Hell is breaking up with your boyfriend?

I liked the symetry of the young guy being the new butler.

Olive was one of my favorite characters. She was just quirky and odd, and I was sorry to see her get burned again.

Overall I give this season a solid B, with the first two seasons rank A. It was flawed, but still enjoyable, with plenty to recommend it.

Pretty much this season was more for the tween girls. This season does have a huge fan base of them. The fans started from first season because of Tate and Violet and now it's Kyle and Zoe. So far Taissa Farmiga is the Kristen Steward of American Horror Story and the director knows it. Why else so many teens vote for her to be the next supreme when she was probably the least interesting and the most illogical character there?

Taissa characters in all American Horror Story is just a Mary sue character which teen girl wish to be her because they want Peter Evans. I could tolerate first season with Violet and Tate but this season was just pure stupid unnecessary teen love triangle and teen angst. Zoe's character is just not interesting and poorly develop from beginning to end. Her version of hell was even more stupid. "Oh my boyfriend dumped me!" First thing I thought was Twilight.

What I don't like is all the plot holes and the poor story structures American horror story always had. Seems like everything always started out good and ends up really half-assed in the end. More so in this season especially how character changed so fast but still have no character development.

I'm so just so disappointed on how a 300 years old voodoo witch started out so power, strong and smart end up being so dumb and weak. Same with the Ancient witch hunter society. I was expecting them to be the final boss but they ended up being killed off so easily. I would assume an ancient witch hunter group would have at least magic repellents.

I'm just not going to expect anything good from American horror story anymore. I still like it because of all the amazing actors, they always make the character their own. It's just the story development was bad as if the writer and director just got lazy in the end.

I'm glad that's over. I went from buy the DVD at the opening of the season to barely having any interest in watching the show. It was all over the place. Like the writers were just throwing stuff up on the board and going with what sounded cool or fun. Characters die and come back, do stuff that makes no sense, can be powerful in one instance and weak in the next. I guess I'll watch the fourth season. But I'll probably watch them in groups, not every week. Three seasons is more than enough for them to make a consistent show. All of these start strong and fall off. Coven started the strongest too.

I vote for vampires or werewolves.

Well, this is AMERICAN Horror Story. They've used the show to explore uniquely American legends and comment on American life. Vampires and werewolves are very much European legends. I don't see them going there.

I don't think they are following any kind of legends. They pretty much making stuff up or loosely base things on certain legends.
