The American Horror Story: Roanoke Finale Was an Insane But Entertaining Onslaught
While the show has yet to air the final episode of “My Roanoke Nightmare”, fans can’t stop buzzing about what may be in store for Season 7. The promo for the episode shows Lee getting ready for trial for murdering Mason and Lana Winters interviewing Lee.
While neither Murphy nor Falchuk have commented on when viewers should expect to see “American Horror Story” Season 7, there has been some speculation about when the show will be released. Lana Winters was Asylum’s brightest star and was the sole survivor of the Asylum horror to become a successful journalist. That’s a name from all the way back in season two.
However, Lee’s escape doesn’t mean she’s out of the woods just yet. While they’re there, they run into Lee, who is looking for Flora, who is hanging with Priscilla (the ghost girl).
If you don’t want to know what may or may not happen in tonight’s episode, we suggest that you skip this part. After all, fans known that creator Ryan Murphy likes his subtle references, so it is not out of the realm of possibility. She admitted on camera; thought to be her last words, that she did in fact murder her ex-husband, and under possession, she murdered Monet (Angela Bassett) and tried to kill Audrey.
There was also the legend of the pig man, one that was first told in the Murder House.
But when we return, the police are surrounding the house and for all intents and purposes, we have a slew of new shows in the form of news reports about Lee’s hostage Flora in the house. No matter what it is, you’ll never enjoy a pork chop again. Roanoke finale airing tonight, questions are swirling. In a cast reunion show we’re presented in retrospect (everyone is dead, after all), a still living Rory (Evan Peters) needs a hug from some woman in the crowd with a sweet ass. Lana Winters’ return is the most notable following on from smaller characters’ cameos like Naomi Grossman’s Pepper and Lily Rabe’s Sister Mary Eunice in Freak Show, and Gabourey Sidibe’s Queenie in Hotel.
Her daughter Flora gives chilling testimony, recounting a fight between her parents the night her father was killed. (This probably had more to do with the actors’s filming schedules, but still, it felt like a serious logic fail.) AHS often has trouble coloring within the lines, but this season, and especially this finale, were all over the place.
There were the usual ghostly jump scares and haunted murders to take care of the camera crew (who presumably were just there to film things so the show could stick to its found footage format), but in the end it was all about Flora and Lee. The caption for the video read, “The monsters are all gone”, but fans seem to think the monsters really went deep.
So ends American Horror Story’s mystery season. (I don’t know about the rest of you, but I immediately began screaming at my TV.) Instead of wasting several minutes of the episode winking back at the now-deceased characters in a pointless flashback, it would have maybe been interesting to – oh, I dunno – visit them in the afterlife, as the cast are all now presumably trapped on the Roanoke property as ghosts? Lee understandably freaks out, and says she has to go find her daughter, when there are suddenly sounds of gunshots outside. But I may be thinking too much into this little FX horror show.
Yeah, we know you’re still shaking from the insane multi-media season finale of American Horror Story: Roanoke, but it’s time to move ahead with the important questions. We return and it’s morning, and it’s BREAKING NEWS from the house and Lee is in a standoff with police.
