      Do you know FX+ ? Before you accuse that the ratings are paid for, you should find more information and know a lot more things. Do not accuse someone like this. Hope you back and see my comment and go search what is FX+ on google. Thanks

      Nothing much

      I'm not feeling it. This season has its moments but so far it strays waaaay too far from the main point, which is the Apocalypse!

      Another great episode that moves the storyline!

      Ahs is on a roll. And this episode is so good! So much happened. Dear familiar faces are back and sets up the next episode as probably the best of this season. Can't wait!

      The Vision of The Apocalypse

      Cordelia has a vision of the end of the world. She tells Madison, Queenie and the warlocks about her vision and agrees that Michael Langdon be submitted to the Seven Wonders test. When she returns to her coven, Myrtle Snows confronts Cordelia with her decision. Meanwhile, John Henry Moore decides to drive to New Orleans to meet Cordelia and tells her his feelings about Langdon. However, Mead kills him in a gas station. Soon Langdon is submitted to the Seven Wonders test and succeeds. Before the last test, Descensum, Cordelia challenges Langdon to bring Misty Day back and he does. Cordelia confirms that he is the next Supreme. Misty tells Cordelia that she should have been left in Hell since Langdon is evil. Cordelia says that he will not be the next Supreme and she has only tested how powerful he is. Then she asks Madison to go to the Murder House to learn more about Langdon. Chablis overhears the conversation and asks to go with Madison.

      "Boy Wonder" is an episode of the "American Horror Story" where Cordelia exposes her vision of the Apocalypse to the other witches and warlocks. She suspects that Michael Langdon is evil and confirms at the end of the episode. The show has a musical with Steve Nicks that has nothing to do with the show. My vote is eight.

      Title (Brazil): "Boy Wonder"

      Corny as hell

      I had such high hopes for this season. It seemed like an interesting premise with new material. But then they just shoved season 3 back in your face. Seriously why did you even call it apocalypse? I get bringing back previous seasons into the mix but this is lazy. I kept watching thinking they would do something interesting. And then they brought Stevie Nicks back on the show to pad the runtime with another pointless song. Isn't this a horror show? Why am I watching a Fleetwood Mac music video all the sudden? Thank god 1984 is out and they did away with all the garbage lore and tedious, not scary premise.
