American Horror Story : Just fell flat by last couple of episodes ….

Just fell flat by last couple of episodes ….

All in all I really enjoyed this season, it had a very different feel to it with the 'docu' style show format. I thought all the actors were great (Even Peters and Dennis O' Hare criminally underused thou) but they had big parts in hotel so I can see why they took a backseat. Then once everyone was pretty much dead by end of episode 8 (which was one of the best AHS stand alone eps in my opinion) I just lost interest and just knew Lee was going to be the sole survivor and sure enough end of episode 9 she was. Until then I'd loved the unpredictability of the whole thing but it suddenly just got a bit predictable.
'Oh those kids are there at the same time as the cast, there screwed' (thou that was a brutal killing)
'Oh so Lee's possessed and going to kill fake Shelby and Monet and then wake up from the trance just as the police arrive.'

The only thing I was really looking forward to for ep 10 was seeing Lana Winters again (but scared Ryan would kill her off...but phew) but I just didn't care for Lee enough for the whole show to revolve around her. Usually by last ep of a AHS Season there's at least 3 or 4 characters we have to conclude and get a ending for but with just one I thought Ryan might have something special up his sleeve....but nope, ok she loves her kid we get it....but what a brat, "I'll love you mummy when your dead and can look after my dead friend who is basically safe anyways, if you do that then we're cool" - what a lil brat!
I think a huge opportunity was missed having Lee and Flora back in the house, it should have been Flora that killed her dad (maybe the lil kid forget her name encouraged her too) and Lee saw it happen (and made it look like a sacrificial killing) and all this time she's been covering for her, her false confession when she was at the polks was just so her daughters secret would die with her. Flora being young and clearly tramatised by everything ended up forgetting what she had done and truly believing it was her mum that did it. So that last scene could of been Lee telling her everything and then doing what she did would of made it the more powerful.

Its a good season thou and was nice to see something a bit different, I'm not sure what it's rewatch-ability will be like thou feel like it will drag a bit like Freak Show tends to do (yep I'm a AHS weirdo who likes to start them all over every few months) ha ha. What do you guys think? Did you like the ending?
