Ok, I've heard good and bad things about this finale and I have to agree with both. The Stevie Nicks music video at the very beginning of this episode is overkill. She's already had a feature in an entire episode, stop being so greedy! Yeah, yeah, she's like massively famous and rumored to be a witch so it's kinda smart I suppose but like I said, one episode is enough Stevie. Plus, that lip syncing was terrible!

This season - Coven - started off really slowly, I was actually very disappointed at first but it's really picked up in the last few episodes. I was so excited when I saw Kathy Bates (Misery, Fried Green Tomatoes) was guest starring in this season, that was huge! And what a character she played, fantastic. I hope she will be in next season too.

Poor Misty Day (Lily Rabe), what a sweet girl and I did so hope for her to be the new Supreme. I did not expect her to die that's for sure... actually I'm surprised at how many of them did die this episode. Once Misty was out of the running I thought for sure that Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) would be the Supreme... then she died too. Just when we thought that Madison (Emma Roberts) - the bitch - was going to be the Supreme. Thank goodness she wasn't! I'm not surprised that Kyle (Evan Peters) killed her, I wanted to strangle her too. Cow. 

I'm not at all surprised that the Supreme turned out to be Cordelia (Sarah Paulson), or that Fiona (Jessica Lange) was still alive. I knew that when Cordelia saw the vision of the Axeman (Danny Huston) killing Fiona that it wasn't quite right. Then when they were hugging I thought for sure Fiona would stab Cordelia in the back... oh well, I suppose it had to end somehow.

I was totally surprised about Myrtle (Frances Conroy) burning at the stake - again! I thought for sure after half the coven had been killed that she would stick around just to make up the numbers. But of course she was right and Cordelia had already put the word out about the coven, so more witches would be joining soon. Still, who would volunteer for that?!

Three seasons and I think season two - Asylum - is my favorite so far. We've had murders and ghosts, crazy people and more ghosts, and finally witches and voodoo; what will be next do you think? I love how this show changes every season and recycles most of it's cast. It's good to see that they can actually act and continue to convince us of their characters each season.

Honorary mention to Denis O'Hare as the help, the demented butler, Spalding. I didn't recognize him!

This is one of my favourite shows on at the moment. I love a good horror/thriller and I've been trying to figure this season out. I know from last season that this episode was where everything changed for me and I think it will be the same with this season too. This episode definitely revealed a few things that I was wondering about.

I supposed I'll start by talking about Anne Frank (Franka Potente; you might recognise her from Run Lola Run!) and how I actually believed she was Anne Frank... she was very convincing. Then once the reveal came that she really was insane, I was thinking that she might still have seen Dr. Arden (James Cromwell) somewhere... and I was right! Just because she was a bit kooky didn't mean she hadn't seen him while she was researching Anne Frank and Nazis, the rest very well might be made up but she did recognise Arden! I thought her being lobotomised would kill her and it's just a little freaky that she's gone all Stepford Wife now.

Speaking of Arden and his crazy surgical adventures... how about what he did to the sex crazed Shelley (Chloe Sevigny from American Psycho)? I knew right away that the demon possessed Sister Eunice (Lily Rabe) had cleaned up after him... yeah, remember the demon possession? I have a feeling that's going to be terribly important to the rest of this season. What I want to know is why Eunice dumped what was left of Shelley near a school? I was highly amused at all the screaming and running though.

So Dr. Thredson (Zachary Quinto) is the real Bloody Face and he's taken Lana (Sarah Paulson) and no one knows she's even there... I never saw this coming, I thought he was honestly trying to help Lana. Is he even a real doctor? He did seem like he knew what he was talking about when he diagnosed Anne...

But what about Kit (Evan Peters)? When they were doing the recording I actually did think what a terrible idea it was and low and behold it was used against him as his confession. So now he gets the electric chair right? But Grace (Lizzie Brochere) saw Alma (Britne Oldford) alive! What the? I'm so confused. If Bloody Face AKA Thredson set Kit up, then who was the headless body if it wasn't Alma? and where is she now? Pregnant as well. Is it really aliens or has Bloody Face jacked them up on drugs to make them see things while he has his way with them? and if that's the case then how did he get to Grace and why wasn't she killed?

Finally; Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) has lost the plot and taken off. But she was right about Arden! I hope the guy she hired to find out more about him, actually does find out the truth. Wonder what's going to happen to Jude now...
