Bradley 59,173 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 American Horror Story recently celebrated its 100th episode with AHS: 1984's sixth episode, titled 'Episode 100', which continued the season's streak of acclaim for a sixth time, receiving a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Ron Hogan of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4/5, saying, "The true story is insane, and rather than embellishing it, the show plays it straight and the end result is funnier than most jokes could have been in that situation." Then, he praised the cast, commenting that "Leslie Grossman and Matthew Morrison play out early in the episode feels like one they've had many times before, sort of a Virgina Woolf situation if Elizabeth Taylor's Martha had murdered several people. Leslie Jordan, as always, steals the scenes he shows up in based on costuming alone. [...] John Carroll Lynch continues is criminally underrated actor, putting in good work in a role that won't be appreciated outside of horror circles." Finally, he concluded his review by "It takes a few twists to get everyone involved in 1984 back to the place where it all started, but it works. Rich people throwing music festivals was a big deal in the late 1980s, and it's a smart way to get the gang back together despite most of them being dead. Nothing gets people talking like a sequel, and Camp Redwood is ripe for the picking."[4] Kat Rosenfield of Entertainment Weekly gave the episode a B+ rating. She enjoyed the different scenes with the ghosts at Camp Redwood, commenting that "The ghosts of Camp Redwood are numerous, and fabulous." She also appreciated the evolution of some characters in this episode. The first one being Brooke, as she noted that she "traded her [...] virginal innocence for something, uh, else." The second one being Jingles, as she wondered if the character would "once again donning his villain's raincoat" or if he would become a hero in the last episodes of the season. However, Rosenfield was more critical of Margaret's evolution, commenting that it "seems a little cliché". Finally, she really enjoyed the cliffhanger of the episode, with the appearance of Donna, and even more the return of Leslie Jordan for the rest of the season.[5] Variety's Andrea Reiher gave a positive review, and said "The 1984 season is now on an entirely different timeline and trajectory from the beginning of the season, but the Camp Redwood setting is still integral to the storytelling, so the final four episodes should see everyone congregate back on the campgrounds for some more murderous fun before season’s end. "Episode 100" didn’t offer any cameos from quintessential players from American Horror Story’s past, such as Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson or Jessica Lange, but who knows what may happen in the back half of the season?"[6] https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/american_horror_story/s09/e06 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 59,173 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 My personal review: The acting is superb. Emma Roberts was absolutely fantastic in this episode. She had barely 5 lines to say in this episode, and yet I would crown her performance as the best in this episode. Her facial expression revealed close to nothing of how she actually felt within, and yet us as the audience knew something wasn't right about her. I found myself constantly questioning what decision she would make, would she join Ramirez in allying herself with Satan? Would she remain her innocence and purity? How is she going to deal with this framing of hers? Every scene she was in was so uncomfortably sinister, she did such an effective job in conveying her fear in the face of receiving an imminent death sentence. Leslie Grossman's transformation from her previous characters into this is astounding. With every season, there is a villainous evil character that's usually played by Kathy Bates and this onus falls onto Leslie Grossman this year. And I really liked how she transformed from a bible-thumping counselor into a vainglorious snobbish estate mogul. Her dialogue and facial expression delivery were a feast to look at. John Caroll Lynch is surprisingly great when given the chance to speak, something he wasn't allowed to do with the Twisty character. I think he's quite underrated in his emotional delivery and onscreen presence. Zach Villa surprisingly has a lot of screen time in comparison to Cody Fern and Gus Kenworthy, but I think he did quite a great job in every scene he was in.

Zedd 6,332 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I watch AHS since Gaga appeared in Hotel. It was my first season of AHS. Then I watched Murder House, Asylum, few episodes of Coven (maybe 2 or 3, and then I couldn't find more episodes with polish audio and I stopped, but now I can watch and understand with english subtitles). I only haven't watched Freak Show. Ryan Murphy is doing great series. Yesterday I finished watching the second season of Scream Queens. So sad there's no more seasons of this. I wanted to watch more Denise Hemphill. The ARTPOP Zedd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloody g 31,746 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I was shocked at Jingles' character development and inner conflict I can't believe this is the same AHS. Also Emma's character is starting to feel more fleshed out and real than any other one she's played. 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to Wikipedia as your source, it actually gets updated as soon as new episodes are announced. People are saying it will at least have 9 episodes, which means the final one hasn't been announced yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly feel like her delivery was so successful in showing how she's been wronged and how she can't do anything about the situation. It's also not just frustration but there is a devilish hint of evil in her. Her acting impressed me a lot. I've never seen that from Emma Roberts before.

highlikegaga 9,099 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 i said it in another thread i'd say it here: Ryan should stop with the reviews payola it's getting obvious. sure, the season is nice and overall enjoyable, but it's not deserving of rave reviews.

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I really like this season but I don't think it's groundbreaking, The Plot was very obvious from the first episode. Don't get me wrong It's a Decent and good season overall but It only feels like it's starting now with only 3 episodes left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
