    Good start, disappointing ending

    This season starts out really good and the webbing of all the seasons was really interesting but it just went to nothing. The ending makes the whole season seem totally pointless and didn't make much sense. I think AHS has lost its way since Coven or Asylum. Worth a watch but dont get your hopes up for an amazing season.

    I could say l totally love Madison in this whole season!

    Sloppy and an Unfortunate Waste

    And you all thought you hated the ending to Roanoke (Which I actually prefer to this) All those cameos were for nothing. Everything this show worked for, threw it away in the last 60 minutes of the season. Too much going on , not enough time to explain. I was hoping for something more on the APOCALYPSE level...This was...domestic. What it makes it even worse was that this season was so promising. The other seasons were just bad through and through...But this...This had hope. They ruined it!

    Full circle

    Thoroughly enjoyed this episode ! Wish they would have elaborated more on the ending, though.

    Good Conclusion

    Myrtle Snow visits Jeff and Mutt at Kineros Robotics and learns where Outpost 3 is located. She tells Mutt that Coco's father will buy four tickets Outpost that is sold out, but they will arrange a means to provide him the tickets. Meanwhile, Mallory asks Cordelia how they will stop the holocaust, but she answers that they cannot. Myrtle Snow explains that they will be hidden in Outpost 3 under an identity spell that will prevent Michael identifying them, and Coco will diminish Mallory to avoid raising suspicion. Mallory tells Cordelia that she does not know what to do, but Cordelia advises that she will know what to do when her powers emerge. After the holocaust, Myrtle, Cordelia and Madison dig out of the ground and they head to Outpost 3, when Cordelia revives Coco and Mallory. Dinah says that she will not help them, but Marie Laveau returns from hell and says that Dinah will replace her, working for Papa Legba. Cordelia explains that she made a deal with Papa Legba, exchanging Dinah's soul by Laveau, and the voodoo witch kills Dinah. Michael appears with Ms. Mead that points a machine gun to the witches to kill them, but Cordelia blows her up. Madison shots Michael with the machine gun and asks her sisters to flee. However, Brock stabs Mallory and is destroyed by Myrtle. Mallory is dying but Cordelia makes an ultimate sacrifice to bring her back to life and more powerful. Now Mallory travels to 2015 to stop Michael Langdon before he gets his powers. Will she succeed?

    "Apocalypse Then" is a good conclusion of the Eighth Season of the "American Horror Story". The plot is well entwinned with previous seasons and explains details of the past seasons. The arrival of a new Antichrist in the end shows that the world will never get rid of evil. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Apocalypse Then"

    • Trivia
      Sarah Paulson revealed that after they were done filming, she 'stole' the painting of Myrtle Snow from the set and it now hangs in her home.
    • Goofs
      Before Myrtle visits Jeff Pfister and Mutt Nutter, they say they have to reprogram the Battle Axe 9000 to not remember herself as a robot. Also, Myrtle commands that they allow Coco's family to purchase four seats on a plane to take them to the stronghold. However, Myrtle kills both of them before any changes are made. Yet, in the episodes, those changes are apparent.
