With the end of yet another dazzling season of American Horror Story last night, I lay here reflecting on the past several months full of magic and bitchcraft, wondering why it has to end and what is next for the acclaimed horror anthology.
Now, if you haven't seen the season finale of AHS: Coven, do not read ahead. This is your first and only SPOILER ALERT!
At the end of episode 12 I had no idea how they were going to wrap everything up, what with the Seven Wonders just around the corner, a new Supreme to be crowned, and the lurking threat of possibly trickery by Fiona. There were too many loose ends.
So I waited all day to watch it, all the way up until midnight, in fact, because I buy my episodes on Amazon Instant Video (so that I can own them and watch them wherever and whenever I want). I got home, exuberant, flitted up the stairs to my room, sat down, turned the TV on, and watched in awe.
Though the episode did seem to lack a bit of the punch some of the earlier episodes had, I was still pleased with the way the show finished. Cordelia, the downtrodden daughter of the former Supreme, finally rose to the occasion and realized her true power. From about mid-season I knew Cordelia was going to be the next Supreme. She was a true leader, sacrificed so much for the Coven, and injury after injury she fought to keep the witches together and alive, teaching them all how to use their powers.
I was saddened to see Misty unable to return from her hell. She was a favorite character this year. As well as the little clairvoyant, Nan, who I was so pleased to see return from season 1.
It wasn't my favorite season of American Horror Story, but I did enjoy all the wonderful characters, Myrtle Snow in particular. Versatility is a necessity when it comes to AHS, and Frances Conroy has proven herself. I hope she returns for next season.
Speaking of the next season, I have been trying to come up with ideas for what it might be. So far we know it'll take place mostly in 1950, Jessica Lange is practicing her German accent, and will be playing some type of Marlene Dietrich character, who was a famous cabaret performer and happened to star in one of Alfred Hitchcock's films.
Taking those clues into consideration, as well as the random Epcot references from the past few episodes, and Madison's remark about returning to Hollywood, I have a feeling next season is going to be set in Hollywood or Southern California. It would be so cool if it centered around a film set, possibly even Hitchcock's!
Well, here's to speculating! If you have any ideas or thoughts about what next season could be leave a comment!
