rather it go out on a high then drag on unnecessarily

I don't know. AHS kind of has a format that could last a very long time. It is its own/new show in effect each season. Only issues that can arise is the reliance on particular actors. Like I bet if Evan Peters left there would be outrage!

It's at its height at the moment so hopefully it has got a good fair few years ahead of it just yet.

American shows tend to be cancelled (well, most of them) at the right time. They end shows right unlike UK productions where we just run shows into the ground.

American shows hardly ever end at the right time! They either drag on for two or three seasons too long or cancel with the story unfinished (US TV is the worst for this, shows get one to three seasons and then end on a cliffhanger with no closure). Or they lose their way after the first season or two and you can understand why they die, because the storylines stop being concise. As soon as viewing figures drop below a certain level, the axe falls. Doesn't matter if its half way through a storyline or not. Likewise, if the viewing figures are strong, season after season is tacked on long after the writers have completed their original vision.

American Horror Story is immune from this, at least, with each season being a self-contained story. It will never end "unfinished", if it goes on for two more years or ten. It really just depends on how long the writers can keep fresh ideas going. The horror genre has plenty of scope but eventually they will run out of "classic" horror settings to explore... Then I guess it depends on how imaginative they are, or else they'll end up treading old ground.

Ep 10 Spoiler

Spoiler:

"American Horror Story-Coven" will return with episode 10, "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks," on January 08, 2014. In episode 9, "Head," Marie accepted Fiona's alliance offer after Henry caused a bloody mayhem at her salon.

According to the detailed synopsis of the new episode, the truce between Fiona and Marie will not be a smooth one, as Marie's dark master, Papa Legba, will demand his annual due. Fiona will forgive Marie, but won't be extending the same forgiveness to her daughter.

Fiona will be mad at Cordelia for marrying Hank, the witch hunter, and turning against her own mother because of him. They will know the identity of the man behind the attack on witches -- Henry's father, Harrison. A spell will be cast to make Harrison's organisation lose money and thus weaken the adversary.

The episode 10 of "American Horror Story-Coven" will also deal with the outing of Misty as the next Supreme. Fiona will try to bribe Misty to accept being the next Supreme. Fiona will invite Stevie Nicks, which is her "ruse to get the true Supreme to reveal herself because she needs to stay alive, according to Ryan Murphy, co-creator of "American Horror Story-Coven."

Except Madison, all the girls will be happy to see Stevie Nicks. Madison will be upset that Misty is going to become the next Supreme. In her jealous rage, Madison is likely to go to extreme lengths.

Suffering from terminal cancer, Fiona will become even more ill. She will ask Marie to share with her the secret of her external youth. Marie shares that secret but at a terrible price. Also, the Axeman returns in this episode. The synopsis says: "as Fiona brings the Axeman a proposition and learns a startling truth about herself."

In "Head," Joan killed her son, Luke, after he questioned her why she killed his father. Nan is going to confront Joan about Luke's death as her powers grow.

Also, "Marie and Fiona make a terrible deal - a deal involving a most unexpected betrayal," according to the synopsis.

About whether Queenie is alive or dead, Murphy said to Entertainment Weekly: "Everyone wants to know that and I'm not saying but we do talk about what happens to her body in episode 10 so keep watching."

james130 · 07-01-2014, 10:48 PM

I'm excited for tomorrows but kinda want this to end now and get excited for Season 4.
This has been the weakest in my opinion, although the last 2 episodes have been pretty good.

Early review of tonight's episode

Spoiler:

Okay, I’m a sucker for Stevie Nicks. I’ve always loved Fleetwood Mac and the use of their music along with the incorporation into Misty’s storyline has been one of my favorite aspects of season 3 so far. I feel like no matter how this episode played out I would have liked it better than the last few for the sole fact that Stevie performs - TWICE! - and interacts awesomely with Lily Rabe’s underused revivalist Misty Day. In addition to that though, much of this episode is exactly what I’ve missed about most of the current Horror Story: Coven installment. There’s a cohesive storyline followed throughout, great moments for every actor featured (though quite a few of our regular players aren’t seen tonight), and genuine moments of shock and uneasiness. Rewatching Asylum over the break illuminated even more what I felt this season has been missing; genuine terror, and characters we can root for and sympathize with in the face of uncertainty. Still, there have been moments of greatness this season, and tonight proves that these witches won’t be going down without a fight. There are a few seriously shocking deaths, and the addition of a new character that I wish had been introduced weeks earlier. Read on for more about “The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks”.

The episode opens just moments after “Head” concluded. We see Fiona welcoming Marie Laveau into the Academy, both women eager to work out their differences and unite to destroy the witch hunters who have set them in their sights. It’s great to be getting more scenes between Lange and Bassett as the two share a fantastic combative chemistry. Sparks really fly between Fiona and her daughter Cordelia, though, as the two discover that Hank had married into the family for the purpose of destroying them. Fiona views this as an unimaginable betrayal and evidence of naivety and stupidity on her daughters part, and she refuses Cordelia’s help in cripping the witch hunters. The result is a fantastic scene between Cordelia and her aunt Myrtle, in turns both hilariously wacky (Myrtle) and frustratingly emotional, as Cordelia begins to question her powers and place in the coven.

Bassett’s Marie Laveau finally gets some real backstory tonight as we meet the chilling Papa Legba. He visits Laveau when it is time for her yearly offering, a price she has been paying since she sold her soul to Legba for immortality centuries earlier. While the sacrifice we see the voodoo priestess preparing to make today is certainly bad enough (hint: it involves a trip to the hospital nursery) we learn through flashback that years before she paid a much greater price which hit very close to home. Bassett is here given the chance to elevate Laveau from over-the-top awesome villainess to a real grounded character, beyond the legend that exists. It’s frustrating that we don’t see or even hear anything about what happened to Queenie or where Lalaurie is at, but I’ll take what I can get.

Indeed, with just a few episodes left I’ve accepted that the things I don’t love about this season probably will not be changing. Papa Legba, for instance, could have been truly terrifying, but the writers seem intent to make every character in this universe a source of comic relief. Legba is still creepy and totally a welcome introduction, in fact I wish he had been brought on earlier to bring a bit of edge to the season, but I fear tonight may be his only appearance. Also in the department of things-I-just-need-to-get-past, there is indeed a continuation of the Nan / Luke saga as we see Nan discover that Luke (THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, YOU GUYS!!!) is dead. Nan continues to annoy the hell of of me, as does the entire storyline, but at least it takes a few interesting and, I’ll admit, totally unexpected turns tonight. I’m definitely excited to read all of your reactions later. Any guesses?

Overall the episode is a great step forward as the season heads toward its conclusion. There are only three weeks to go after this and with tonights episode I’ve certainly gotten a renewed interest in the resolution . Will this end up being my favorite season of American Horror Story? Definitely not. But there’s more than enough to enjoy and the performances alone elevate it above just about anything else on TV. The lighter more comedic / b-movie tone that this season has taken is pleasing many viewers who were turned off by last years extremely dark Asylum arc (my personal favorite). I suppose that's the beauty of an anthology series; each season can play to different strengths and alternately please many crowds. In the comments below, let us know what you’ve been liking most so far about Coven and what you’re hoping to see in tonights episode. Got more questions about “The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks”? I’m happy to answer. Also feel free to visit us again after the episode airs to share your thoughts here and check out the post-show reviews. First, a few more teases - and questions - before tonights show.

Questions:
- Will we ever get answers as to why each witch has the powers they do? Or at the very least what the hell the purpose of Zoe’s puss-of-death is?
- Where the heck is Kyle and what’s going on with him? His story virtually disappeared so much so that I honestly don’t even remember where we ended up with him. It was a story of magic gone wrong, then a Frankenstein thing, then a love triangle, then… well… who knows…
- Will the Axeman serve any real purpose? He appears again very briefly tonight and while I loved his intro episode, he’s totally fizzled out since

Stuff You’ll Love:
- Misty Day meeting Stevie Nicks is just plain awesome. The scene is hilarious and actually doesn’t feel forced or cheesy. The White Witch plays a relatively important part in the story, and her final scene / song is haunting. She also teaches Misty how to properly twirl!
- Papa Legba. While I wish they had gone straight-up terror with this character, he is still more than creepy enough to make an impact. His character provides a number of twists tonight.
- Madison is a super bitch. I hate the character but love the performance. It’s awesomely fun to watch and I’ve been hoping that she’d fully embrace her darker side for a while now, especially post-resurrection. Seeing Misty get all the attention of being the supposed next supreme does not sit well with Miss Montgomery.
- The shocks. I said it above, tonight is full of some of the best genuine twists and turns this season has offered so far. It’s easily my favorite episode since 3x03, “The Replacements”.
