American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 10 "Apocalypse Then" Review

The witches prepare for a final epic battle with Michael.

This was a really interesting but disappointing episode because they made all this setup for this big witch vs antichrist fight just over it to fizzle out and be nothing really at all. Everything at the bunker and leading on where episode three left off started out great with all the people who came back and all the back and forth but there Michael just kind of ripped through all the witches without much effort which was all the entertaining to see. The one line by Cordelia and how there will always be witches coming for Michael because he is one and the witches are a legion.

Everything with the time travel ended up with it being a lot of my fears because the time travel concept is something that is hard to maintain and control especially when not introduced right away. So the time travel was completely messed up in this episode compared to the previous episode because last time it showed Mallory only being able to travel for a short time and then went back to her current time while what happened in this episode showed her fixing things and then sticking around back in time and remembering all of what happened previously. So that makes little sense to me and I want to know it that means there are two Mallory's running around now or two Supremes running around in her and Cordelia. Then the fix to stop the Apocalypse also changed a lot of other things in Mallory sticking around and changing other things so like she brought Misty back and stopped Queenie from going to the Hotel Cortez so what changes did that effect in the big final fight at the Cortez.

And the way Mallory killed Michael was just really dumb and written off so heavily as a joke and undermined everything that this season set up for Michael. Which just really confused me because this whole season set up to make us feel for Michael and see where he is coming from so just to kill him off in a mundane way is just so odd to me. Then just overall this was a really weak and disappointing final episode to end an otherwise great season.   

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 9 "Fire and Reign" Review

As Michael puts a spell on Cordelia he continues toward world annihilation, starting with the witches and warlocks. Queenie and Zoe look for answers with the Voodoo Queen. Madison takes an unexpected trip to an old friend's house.

This was a really great continuation of set up for the final fight in the last episode. The moments where Michael attacking the witches were really great with how easily he ripped through all of them to fully show off his strength. Then the moments with Michael and the Meade-bot were fun where it turns out the Jeff and Mutt can control Meade to say what they want so they can influence Michael to get what they want. And the moments with the witches in the cabin was interesting with them finally setting up the new personality spell for Coco and Mallory as well as coming up with a way to poetically stop Michael by traveling through time. Which lead to a really cool scene where Mallory tried to save Anastasia by using time travel. But I'm worried what they are going to do because time travel is a messy thing to control especially when it is suddenly added into a show. The ending with Michael finally meeting with the Cooperative made for a nice way to end the episode the on a great beat. Then just overall this was an interesting episode that wasn't all that eventful but it was still kind of fun to watch.  
 

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 8 "Sojourn" Review

Michael grows desperate when his warlock allies are slaughtered and enlists the help of unlikely allies in his quest to start the apocalypse.

This was a really interesting episode that was a little slow in how its plot was shown but also it was a nice episode to show more on how Michael ended the world. I really loved the opening scenes where Michael discovers that his allies are dead and the whole confutation between him and Cordelia was so interesting. Then the moments of Michael in the woods was interesting with what he hallucinated and I'm curious to fully know what all the different hallucinations meant. Then the Satanist was really weird with how dedicated they were to Michael even when they just met him. I did enjoy the jokes surrounding what the Satanist thought of as true evil vs what actually is. Then the introduction of Jeff and Mutt was interesting with how they helped Michael and created a new and better Ms. Mead. Then just overall this was a really weird episode that was a little slow and boring but I'm really excited to see what will happen in the next episode now that Michael is gearing up to end the world.  

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 7 "Traitor" Review

With her powers waning, Cordelia enlists the help of Coco to bring justice for the coven and take the first step in stopping Michael.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it and it was so much fun to watch and see how everything worked out. It was really interesting how this episode just focused on the witches and how they planned and plotted to stop Michael. I really loved what they did with Bubbles in this episode and the introduction conversation between Bubbles and Madison was really great and I loved the tie back to the killer Santa from season 2 in Bubbles film that she is working on. Then the scene with Bubbles and Myrtle looking into what the Warlocks were planning was really great with them having this dinner to converse and have Bubbles read the Warlocks mind and they did such a great job of keeping the attention away from Bubbles as she worked. Then the moments with Cordelia was really great with her attempting to make a deal with Papa Legba to trap Michael but not going through with it because she doesn't want to sacrifice her girls. but I'm curious to see if Papa Legba will come back at some point when the other witches do all die at the hands of Michael. Then It was interesting how they finally chose Mallory as the new supreme but I do wish they would have shown her going through all the seven wonders because all they really showed was one when she used vitalum vitalis when she brought John Henry back. Yes, I could see them doing a bit of a combination of the Seven Wonders in her bringing John Henry back but still I would have liked to see it individually. Then everything around the Warlocks and them creating a plan to stop the witches were fun with how it was all shown and it made it funnier with how the witches stopped it. Then everything with Coco was just funny with her powers growing and Cordelia asking her to help track down Ms. Mead was great with them essentially using Coco as the decoy to distract Ms. Mead. The whole burning ceremony was really great with how they stuck to traditions on how a witch can't kill a warlock so John Henry stepping in to run the show was really fun. Then just overall this was a really fun episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.   

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 6 "Return to Murder House" Review

After being sent to the "Murder House" to gather information on Langdon's past, Madison and Behold discover a horrifying secret about the next Supreme.

This was such an amazing and great episode that was so entertaining to watch and I just loved it so much. The episode did an amazing job of telling its own story as well as bringing back a lot of the unresolved elements from the murder house season. Everything around Moria was really great with her finally getting her happy ending and escaping the murder house and being reunited with her family. Then I really loved how they told the story of how Michael's life was like growing up and how his relationship with Constance and the rest of his murder house family ended. I also found it interesting how they chose to explain Michael's sudden change in age where overnight he went from being eight to eighteen because it was finally time for him to start his work ending the world. Everything around Michael and Ben was really great with Ben actually trying to give Michael a chance to be a kid and be good but over time Michael's evil nature took over more and more and Ben chose to give up on Michael which was just sad. Then Vivien choosing to try and kill Michael was interesting with how they chose to show it. And the church of Satin showing up after following all the signs that Michael was putting out was a really interesting way for them to make the full connection between Michael and his father as well as introduce Ms. Mead to Michael. Then the storyline around Tate and Violet was interesting and weird with them deciding to explain way all of Tate's action on the evilness in the house and that Tate is relatively fine now because all that evilness left with Michael. That seems like such a weak way to try and make Tate's actions seem okay and make it okay for Violet to love Tate again. I do like how strong-willed Violet was that she was willing to hold up her side and keeping ignoring Tate all these years until the end of this episode. Then just overall this was a really amazing and well-done episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything turned out and I'm so excited to see what will happen next.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 5 "Boy Wonder" Review

After witnessing the Apocalypse, Cordelia must act quickly to stop Michael or face the end of days.

This was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything played out. I loved everything around the seven wonders and the grace of how Michael worked through all of them. And the style that they decided to show the seven wonders in was great with them turning it into a black and white silent movie just in a nice job of showing off how Michael thought of doing the seven wonders as a fun game because it was so easy for him to do everything. Then the Descensum part was so great with Michael going into hell to free Misty, but a part of me does wish that we could have seen Michael’s personal hell if he has one. Then I loved how Cordelia somewhat of used the seven wonders to test to see if Michael’s is what he says he is. And I wonder if they are going to use Misty’s return as her passing the seven wonders as well because she did come back from Descendum as well. Then it was so great to see what Michael actually has planned and how he needs to kill the witches in order to complete it. Then it was also interesting how Ariel is willing to ignore all the signs showing the evilness of Michael in order to gain more power for himself. Then bringing Stevie Nicks back in this episode to celebrate Misty’s return was so beautiful and I want to know what they are planning when they decided to change some of the lyrics in her song Gypsy. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can wait to see what will happen in the next episode since they are going back to the murder house.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 4 "Could It be... Satan?" Review

Michael’s history as a teenager, and how he came to find himself at the Hawthorne Boy’s school, is revealed.

This was a really great episode that was so well done and I completely understand and agree with the fact that this is the highest rated episode for the whole series. I loved seeing a bit of Michaels teenage years and some of his powers and his relationship with the real Ms. Mead. I’m very curious to know if Michael is aware of what he is and he is just playing dumb or is he truly believe that he is a really powerful warlock. Everything around reintroducing the coven witches and seeing how they interacted with the warlocks was so great even for me who never really cared for the Coven season and struggled to get through it. I did enjoy seeing a bit of what Mallory was like before her memory was wiped and how powerful they seemed to make her seemed to set her up for a possible new supreme. Then Michael going and getting Queenie out of the Cortez and Madison out of her personal hell was really great and fun t show himself off a bit to the witches and show just how powerful he is was such a great way to end the episode. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I’m so excited to see Michael do the seven wonders in the next episode.   

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 3 "Forbidden Fruit " Review

            
Ms. Venable and Ms. Mead enact a sinister plan on Halloween, while a figure from the past resurfaces.

This was a really great episode that had so many interesting and great moments to it with a very surprising ending. It was interesting how they sort of rapid fired through the rest of the interviews only highlighting the important parts for each person. The moment with Dinah in her interview was interesting with how it seemed that Michael and Dinah knew each other and knew the power each side held, so I’m curious to see how they know of each other. And the interview between Mallory and Michael was just awesome and reviled a lot where it looks like Mallory is a witch and doesn’t know it but she is also powerful enough to scare Michael. There was also the revile that Michael possible killed all the witches or at least thought he did. The truth around Ms. Mead and why she was built was an interesting revile that I’m excited to see more or the truth in the next episode. The Halloween party was great with the appearance of the apples and Ms. Venable and Ms. Mead using them as a way to almost guarantee their chance in the sanctuary. Which with that I have to say that was probably the quickest way they managed to kill off the most of the main people in one go which was so surprising. The ending of this episode and the return of some of the witches from Coven makes me really excited to see what will happen next. I really want to know the purpose of Emily and Timothy because they were so heavily focused on for the past couple of episodes to not have them matter is weird but if they truly were there to just represent the destruction of everything even love I could kind of see them no longer serving any purpose, but still I want more of them at some point. But overall this was a really great episode and I’m really excited to see the next episode where they are going to the murder house and we get to see further back in Michael’s story.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 2 "The Morning After" Review

Michael Langdon prepares a meeting with the guests of Outpost 3. Meanwhile, Ms. Venable and Ms. Meade have a sinister plan in store.

This was a really great and interesting episode that did a nice job of setting up some possible events of what is to come. I really enjoyed how this episode did a good job of setting up Michael as a character and seeing how he interact with other people in Outpost 3. It was a really smart idea in my mind to have the episode focus on just the interview between Michael, Mr. Gallant, and Ms. Venable because you got to see how the interviews work and what Michael does to mess with them after he has better figured them out. Bringing back the rubber man was really great with how they chose to have him around as a sexual desire for Mr. Gallant. Then the moments with Emily and Timothy was interesting with them sneaking into Langdon's room to try and figure out where the Sanctuary is and all the other things that they figured out was interesting. I really did like the comparison that some people made with Langdon's apple computer and the apple of Eden with how the computer tempted Emily and Timothy to break the rules. Then I found it kind of funny how as soon as Emily and Timothy found out a lot of Ms. Venable's rules were made up they almost instantly started to break them. Then just overall this was a really great episode and had so many fun moments to it and with how this episode ended I'm very curious to see what will happen next.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Episode 1 "The End" Review

After a nuclear attack, a select few must survive in a bunker dubbed Outpost Three ruled by a tyrannical matriarch.

This was a really amazing first episode and I have to say out of all the season this is my favorite first episode because they just got in there with the story. Which really surprised me because I was expecting the bombs to drop at the end of this episode at the earliest but they just started off right away with the bombs dropping. I thought they were going to spend the first episode introducing all the main characters and then after those introductions, you would see how they react to the bombs, but no they drop the bombs first and then you get to truly meet the characters which were so interesting to me.

Everything around Coco, Mallory, and their friends at the beginning of this episode were really great with the bombs coming and Coco happened to be rich enough that she has several tickets to Outpost Three. And I'm really curious on how they got to Outpost Three because from what they showed the group were up on an autopiloted plain to get out of the initial blast zone but then what happened to the next? I guess will just have to wait and see that in the next episode. Then Coco's husband Brock was really great with Coco deciding to leave him behind because he was taking to long to get to the plain and I'm very curious to see what happened to him and if he is going to come back and get his revenge epically if it is as a ghost because the ghosts are coming back this season.

Then the Outpost Three lifestyle was really interesting with the higher up being in purple and the slaves being in grey. Ms.Venable was so well done with the creepy nature around her but there are some moments that left me a little curious about her. Because the one scene where she went and dressed up in purple in secret made me think maybe she isn't supposed to be in charge but then with how this episode ended with the guy coming into the bunker to inspect it made it so she was supposed to be in charge the whole time. Then I really loved how she made up her own rules and tried to drive everyone else insane by limiting their food and trying to make them into cannibals. And her cane hitting the ground as she approached was a great thing to show her ominous presents everywhere.

Timothy and Emily were really interesting with them being part of the special group selected to survive because of there genes. And seeing Timothy whisked away from his family because he was the only one with these selected genes was really sad but also done so well. Then I'm very curious to see what is going to happen to them because they seem like the least disposable of the characters we have so far been introduced to and there is no doubt in my mind that there going to break the rules and have sex.

The ending makes me very excited to see who is going to be accepted into the new outpost and who is going to be left behind. And just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting first episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
