Ice cream in the fridge? You think they lurk on this sub?
Nobody was shown onscreen directly saying that line so it could have been dubbed in, like, this afternoon lol
I approached a very uncomfortable level of secondhand embarrassment throughout this episode.
My exact thoughts
Anna: Abracadabra
Siobhan: ☠️☠️☠️
I’m annoyed at how short that flashback was. It could’ve been a great scene if they extended it by a minute or two and showed us more of Siobhan’s manipulative nature.
Baby popped out with a fresh set 💅
Straight from the nail salon 💁🏼
Wait so Dex is Siobhan’s son?!?!????
And Anna wasn’t pregnant with her own baby. It was Siobhan’s egg.
As messy as this episode is, I do have to say I’m loving the camp factor and the twist of Dex being Siobhan’s son which I did NOT see coming. I also love the stylistic choice of them changing the aspect ratio.
What the fuck is going on 💀
Anna’s hair being pin straight after it being in a bun all night. She’s fab!
Can someone explain to me what the fuck happened? Where'd the chant come from? How did it kill Kim?
Whatever. I'm not getting answers to things that literally popped up at the last minute without any prior context lol.
She changed the word Satanas to Hestia (greek goddess) in their chant and it was apparently enough to kill the coven.
Literally preschool tier writing 💀
They aren't even trying anymore
She knew that would work why?
Because the writers couldn't come up with anything better.
So Adeline could have done this at any time and killed the big bad?! With a bit of chanting????
OMFG. I can’t believe how much not trying they were. Like, mixing some Latin BS, Christian satan and an elderly goddess and voilà?
What the actual fuck?
“Only light can snuff out the dark.” Hestia is a goddess. Satan is evil. That’s about as much thought that went into the scene. Good beats bad
Things that could’ve improved the finale:
in the flashback with Dr. Hill, we could’ve seen some montage of all the women that Siobhan brought in for him for treatment
Sonia struggling to maintain allegiance to Siobhan after Ivy (her own mother) is slain, maybe doing some spell to invoke Adeline to help Anna
when Siobhan is unveiling her plan, maybe introduce herself as some big name being or witch from myth or literature like Lilith, The Morrigan, Mater Suspiriorum that has better name recognition than just The Auteur; where instead of a planned gendercide of men, just them influencing world events behind the curtain to their benefit
maybe even a scene of Theo horrified at what Talia has gotten herself into, and trying and failing in her efforts to get Anna out
2 would have been a great transition scene! Sonia invoking the chant with Adaline instead would have been great.
I was hoping when Siobahn mentioned she is The Auteur we were going to get flashbacks that show the movie plot that explain who she is.
But why did they paralyze her and were they ever going to un-paralyze her???
She got paralyzed for trying to take the baby back and got healed when she joined them.
She was still in a wheelchair when she joined them though. We never saw her take a step until she destroyed Kim
It’s almost as if it was poorly written trash
And Anna lived ... happily ever after?
Me when Adeline comes back to save the day without any explanation
Right? Where the F did she come from? and if that spell is all it took why didn't' she chant it before they killed her.....
They over explained things that didn’t need much explaining, but left the more important pieces up in the air. It would have made sense if the ghost contacted Anna periodically instead of conveniently showing up at the end of the episode. I knew it was some bs when I saw it was a 31 minute episode lol
Exactly like they should have made Adeline the person doing all the things to her and writing on her mirror and changing her egg retrieval date to try and help her… not some random nobody that didn’t add anything to the story. I’m this 🤏🏼 close to giving up on AHS forever
Ending a 9 episode season with a 30 minute finale and 100000000000 unanswered questions is a personal assault against fans

Props to you for caring enough to have questions. I don’t have a single one and I’ll never think about this season again after tonight
The surprise twist at the end is that the last 15 minutes is actually just more commercials
edit; LMFAO they really did it
Holy shit you weren’t kidding lmfao
Going from commercials straight into the credits killed me
Congratulations, you're a prophet! :P
What happened to the rest of the witches? Is Anna taking over as the head of the coven now? What HAPPENED? 😅
Guess they all went back to their day jobs. Except Ivy.
I imagined they all poofed to dust when Siobhan poofed.
They should have shown little piles of ash all over the other room, where they were playing with blood. Lol.
Yeah I was thinking that myself.
Would have been do f***** satisfying to have seem them all dissolve though! They could have added a few extra seconds to extend us that courtesy!
There was lots of screaming as Siobahn "disolved"?...you could hear the other women screaming, so I figured it was happening to them too..
This was my question. She put the hat on. I feel like this leaves room for something else. IDK this season was not my fav.
I’m so lost still. Talia mentions right after Ivy’s death that she could be resurrected. How was Adeline resurrected? Was she a ghost? Or is she also dead again now, after Siobhan dies? Or…? Is Anna starting a Hestia cult? Or is it all over? How did her spine heal? At this point, I would have liked the fan theory that she was Madison Montgomery the whole time over what we got. And I hated that theory. 😬
Is there a Snyder cut of this season?
A 3 hrs Peter Jackson extended cut?
Kim shaking like that absolutely fucking gagged me 😭😭😭 I just know that’s getting clipped and used as a meme
Someone needs to GIF it after this episode ends 😭
It reminded me of the fembots in Austin Powers lol
Thank you! This is gold lmao
When her and Kourtney fight she’s gonna send her that gif 😅
Spirit Halloween shaking Kim mannequin
I think Kamal dying is the most emotionally invested I have been all season and Dex useless as always
Naur bcuz Kamal dying was heartbreaking. He was my fav random character of the season tbh
It helps he is also good looking lol
everybody dies in ahs, but that still came as a surprise - Kamal being a good guy, always thought he was sus as fuck, but nope.
how the fuck did his hand get bitten off???? what the fuck
He went under Anna’s skirt to check the baby and he pulled back a bloody nub. 🦴🩸😳
Siobhan did say later on that his (baby's) teeth were very sharp ...
So the baby was able to bite off a hand but then still required A LOT of pushing to get out? That makes no sense
Neither did most of this season
Wait I am so confused. Why did Anna put the Halloween feather cap on at the end?
she was prepping for Halloween, you know, to go trick or treating. :)
that was not the fucking ending. I did not spend all this time watching this shit for that to be the ending
I was pissed too 🙃 never got to see the monstrous version of the baby's face, so many things went unsaid, unanswered, & left up to interpretation which was terrible. Siobhan dying THAT easily after being alive for centuries (I was convinced an entire millennium, or even since the beginning of time), never finding out what she ACTUALLY was, what happened to everyone else, what was the point in the damn spiders, what was the point of those green shoes (newbies maybe???). I wanted a whole back story on what Kim's character actually was! This season finale disappointed me 🙄
I feel like the spider was showing the “creature” side of the baby released. I’ve always thought about the vanishing twin theory this season and I feel like that was the twin and she chose which version would stay
Right? The fecking spider and stupid green shoes. What the actual fuck. I love AHS and I know it can be hit & miss...but that is the worst season I've ever watched. Half a season of highly frustrating gaslighting and "is it real or is it imaginary?" And then all of a sudden evil Kim Kardashian is Dex's mum AND magically turns to dust from chanting. Didn't that character chant the same stuff in her restaurant? Did Kim K need to be in the same room for it to dissolve her despite being eternal and magical and having been around forever? Wtf.
I was actually starting to ease into Kim Kardashian being in the show cos too she was clearly a villain...but that was trash.
And did Emma become the new Kim K with the headgear? Was she holding the Oscar and the baby cos she was still conflicted between the two? I'm an intelligent person but what WAS any of that?!?! (Actually scratch that...I'm clearly not intelligent because I just watched that stupid season). And a THIRTY MINUTE finale?!
And the comment about ice cream in the fridge?! I mean, come ON. That wasn't a fun call out to fans, that was stupid.
