Not downhill. It was more like the rug being pulled out from under you, and you not realizing it was gone right away. I just kept watching, and then suddenly realized, "What a minute! This SUCKS! And it has BEEN sucking for a long time now!"

I've never seen Revenge or The Walking Dead. I hate Glee.

Can't speak for other fans, though.

As a rule, I really dislike Ryan Murphy's heavy-handedness, too. With AHS, it works for me because most of the appeal is to see what crazy thing is going to happen next. I think I enjoy it for the same reason I used to enjoy Spartacus and True Blood.

What I look for in horror depends on my mood. Sometimes, I really want to be engaged and spooked, so I watch something like The Orphanage. Sometimes I want campiness.

I still might try it. It's kind of on the mental list. I love Julian McMahon.

Is anyone still watching this? They did a musical number last week. All that was missing was Chris Colfer--oh, that would have been cool!

I was about ready to put this on my meh list, but that last episode (The Name Game) restored my enthusiasm.

Aw man. I thought it was on break. I'll see it.

So the madness has ended; pun intended to the season finale title. I read there have been hints throughout these last episodes towards where the anthology will go next. We all know Jessica Lange is returning. I have a feeling Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson will be returning also.

It looks like maybe New Orleans and Salem (Massachusetts) are good guesses. Pepper mentioned something about "us freaks" so maybe a circus could be included also.

Now that all stories are complete for the season, the alien storyline could have been dropped and nothing would have been deathly affected. Other storylines came around by the end, but the aliens were outright annoying and I didn't get the point of it. Kit could have very well had two kids by Alma and Grace without alien intervention.

The bloodyface storyline was good.

Finally saw the finale today.

I agree that the aliens added nothing. I suppose it was to play on the "UFO craze" of the time period. And as much as I love Lily Rabe, I'm not sure what nun/pazuzu added to the mix either.

It would have been cleaner to just have stuck with the bloodyface storyline, exploring thematically how insanity breeds insanity (figuratively, of course, tho in the baby's case also literally).

AHS is amazing but for the life I don't know why. The show is inundated with the unnecessary but still I loved it.

The most irksome for me was the lack of resolution in many of the various sub-plots or answering questions that were asked.

The BloodyFace narrative was superb and ended on the perfect note too.

"Pepper mentioned something about "us freaks" so maybe a circus could be included also."

A circus or a freak-show type theme would be great.
