American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 10 "Chapter 10" Review

Lee Harris, the lone survivor of Return to Roanoke: Three Days in Hell, agrees to an interview live on television, the Lana Winters Special.

This was a very interesting way to end this season that had plenty of surprises and fun to it. I knew going into this episode that some way some how Lee was not going to make it to the end, and I was right about that. I did really like that they brought Lana Winters back and they did a good job at bringing back some of the things from Asylum and kind of explaining in little bits what Lana has been up to since Asylum. Then the actual interview between Lee and Lana was really cool with how they interacted with each other and it was made even better by how they were interrupted. This episode was a little weird with how much it jumped around from story to story but it also made some sense because they needed to do that in order to wrap everything up nicely. The beginning moments with the court cases was a little weird and felt like it went on for a bit too long. I did feel bad for Flora because everyone seemed to push off her thoughts as just being a scared kid who went through some tough times. The ghost hunters going into the Roanoke house to investigate the hauntings was really fun and I laughed at the line that was like "people have been asking to investigate this house for years and been denied, so we didn't ask." And when Lee popped up I thought she had gone all butcher crazy again and kill them all, but that didn't happen. I do wish they would have shown a bit more of some of the ghosts in those final moments, but still what they did show was really fun. Then the standoff with the police at the house was interesting especially when you just focus on Flora's part in all of it. It is still a little weird to me with how dedicated Flora seems to be with Priscilla. And the final choice that Lee made for Flora was very interesting and kind of unexpected, but at least in that way, no one else will own the house. Then the actual ending was a little confusing because I saw the villagers and the butcher coming up to the house so did they kill all the police and cameramen standing outside the house watching it burn or were the ghost just watching the house too. Overall this was a really great season I would probably place it in the number three spot of the seasons so far, and I can't wait to see what they'll do for the next season.

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 9 "Chapter 9" Review

A new actor shows up to the house per Sidney's request; three young adults enter the woods to shoot footage of the blood moon and the history of the house for the web. Meanwhile, Lee, Monet, and Audrey remain on the run.

This was a really great and interesting episode that really kind of summed a lot more of what is gong on and now all that is really left is to end everything. I really liked the inclusion of the Roanoke nightmare fans who get caught up in the blood moon themselves. Just seeing some fresh faces in this episode that didn't start out completely terrified was a little refreshing. The guy they brought in to help out Audrey and Lee was really great to give them a little bit of hope and then just have it taken from them in a second. He was a little annoying with how he seemed to know everything because he was ex-military, and he kept refusing to listen to Lee and Audrey when they clearly know more because they have been living through all the madness. Then them actually being back at the Polk's farm was interesting because the two Polk's that were left managed to do a lot of damage on their own. And where they found all the video tapes and stuff was a little weird because everything seemed to be in opposite rooms from where it should be. Then the randomness of having the witch show up and save Lee at the last minute I didn't really care for but it does make me really curious to see what they will do with her because to some degree she is under the witches control. Then ending moments of this episode were really gory and I was not really expecting everything to go as bad as it did. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what they'll do with the final episode.

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 8 "Chapter 8" Review

Audrey, Monet, and Lee remain, hostages of the Polks, while Shelby and Dominic try to think of a way to escape the wrath of The Butcher back at the house.

This was a really interesting episode that was really about starting to wrap up this whole season and get down to the last person who survives all of the craziness. All the scenes with Shelby and Dominic were really great with all the craziness they endured at the house and those moments really brought all the past dead together. I have no idea how the two of them managed to survive as long as they did it was actually kind of amazing to watch the two of them deal it attack after attack and not die. Lee was really great in this episode with how she managed to survive everything that was thrown at her. The way she seemed so up for anything just to end up turning on the Polks was really great. Then I loved the scene with the Polks and how the managed to tie the teeth back into everything.I really can't wait to see what will happen to Monet now that she is alone with the last two Polks chasing after her. Then the fact of Lee convincing Audrey to go back to the Polks farm was really great by bringing up they need to delete the film of them killing the Polks when really she just wants to delete the film of her confession of killing Flora's father. Then Lee's change in opinion about Shelby was a little weird because she hated Shelby it seemed up until she heard that Shelby killed Matt and then she just couldn't believe it, and she instead blamed it on Dominic. I really hope in the next few episodes they'll show a bit more of the witch because she still is a mystery to me. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.
