Based on photos Murphy has posted to Instagram, it appears as though the witches and warlocks are banding together. I got the sense that when Cordelia says, "All of us" in the trailer for ep 4, she's not just talking about the resurrected witches.

I'm sensing someone/something satanic inside Mallory. Not just because I'm clinging tightly to the "Michael is actually an angel not the anti-christ" theory, but because Michael's responded to Coco's excuse about not firing Mallory with, "The Devil you know..."

Marry me. I thought the exact same thing, He resents that he had to grow up and accept he'll never be that douchey but crazy hot lead singer of Third Eye Blind. Now he resents his wife -who has all the weight on her shoulders to support the family - and like the child he is, he acts out. The actress playing Delilah (Jaqueline!) was in that dreadful USA Network show Satisfaction. (So much promise. Boy did they fuck that up.) I disliked her there for the same reason I dislike her here - she has one speed: unfulfilled wife. No emotion. No cadence to her voice. I liked this show more than I thought I would.

I think the reason we're being punished with the Victorian clothes, weird hairstyles, and basement lighting is to differentiate between the worlds. Venable's severely styled red hair is quite the contrast to Cordelia's flowy blonde hair. If you didn't know the actors were playing multiple roles, you might not even realize Cordelia and Venerable were played by the same actress. I'm semi-confident that Cordelia, Zoe, etc are only going to be featured in the next 2-3 episodes so that they can return to Murder House as Billie Dean and Violet. As an aside, my vote for Mead's prototype is Vivien. As for Cody Fern, I think he's carried every episode so far, even the first one where he only appeared for a couple of minutes. I saw him in ACS Versace, so I have a little more to go on in terms of his talent as an actor. In ACS, you felt everything his character was experiencing. He managed to make you care about his character the minute he first appeared on screen. He shines in the little moments, usually the ones where he has no dialogue at all.

i don't think Evie was ever in the suit. I think Langdon created a hallucination to trick Gallant into murdering her. But yeah, Murphy and Co shoehorned an appearance by a Rubber Man to support the "crossover" then completely dropped the whole thing. There was no reason for Rubber Man to be on the ceiling watching The Two Boring Ones other than for shock value. Fuuuuuck. I wanted a story and fleshed out characters. Not fucking cyborgs and zombies. I wanted suspense, like when we were trying to figure out who Rubber Man was. I can already tell the episode five twist is going to be ooooohhhh we're going back to Murder House for one episode and there will be 2 scenes with Jessica Lange. YOU'RE WELCOME, LONGTIME FANS!

What's truly frustrating is how the actors and others involved give interviews and are like, ''You won't believe this huge twist!!! You'll never see it coming!" and then the 'twist" is something everybody saw coming. Before the season began people suspected the witches would battle it out with Michael and try to turn back time Or that it was a dream of some kind. Ugh, and the whole "surprise bitch" scene? Christ, I don't know who - out of all of Murphy's muses - is more one note: Paulson, Lea Michele, Billie Lourd or Emma Roberts.

I thought he was referring to a nanny that cared for him as a child. Constance never struck me as nurturing. Not that any of it matters because I think last week is the end of Outpost 3. I don't think they'll revive Gallant and let Peters come back as Tate. It's too confusing to have the actors all be playing different characters at the same time. Also, Rubber Man? For why?

Me too, which is why I knew immediately that it wasn't Time in a Bottle they played during the HB episode where Cassidy's girlfriend died, it was Bread's "If." I went and looked up the episode on You Tube. No coincidence, I'm sure, that both songs start with the word If. Minor flub. This season is losing me. The big twist in episode 5 better be good, because as of right now, the current plot was predicted before the season even started and the cross over elements feel contrived. Plus I hated Coven, and it looks like we'll see much more of that season and one quick episode at Murder House.

okay, but...why have Timothy and Emily at all? Why have Andre? They really did a piss poor job of explaining the connection between Dinah and Andre. Great episode, but Emma Roberts ruins this whole season for me. Murphy will kick Cuba Gooding Jr to the curb for his obnoxious drunken behavior at Paleyfest, but not privileged white girl Emma Roberts who beat up and bit Evan Peter?

I follow someone on Instagram that somehow gets episodes several hours in advance and uploads clips. I won't reveal specifics, but tonight's episode looks ba-na-nas, as in major plot twist! If you've felt the reason has been moving slow, I think tonight is the night when everything kicks in.

If you watched ACS Versace, you knew the within the first five minutes of his first episode that Cody Fern was going to blow up. Every review and recap of his first episode made mention of how relevatory his performance was. While I think this season is going to fall short as per usual, I think Fern will captivate viewers enough to keep them tuning in and save the season from going the way of Roanoke. Paulson is getting long in the tooth and Peters can only carry so much of the series. New additions for the past couple of years have been lack luster. Leslie Grossman delivers snark well but can't seem to do anything else. Eichner, IMHO, holds promise and thankfully will be back this season. And maybe I'm alone in this but I think Adina Porter's acting is wooden and without range. jeffrey Chapman is being wasted in this role. Timothy and Emily can go and never return. This show was great when the cast was across the board fantastic. Conroy, Lange, Britton, James Cromwell, Peters, Zachary Quinto, Denis O'Hare, Paulson, Angela Bassett and now Cody Fern. Switch in Matt Bomer, Kate Mara and Finn Witrock and Jeffrey Chapman every few episodes and that might breathe new life into the series.

I think they're intentionally trying to make Michael androgynous, in the vein of David Bowie, to make the character more intriguing. I'm getting the sense that they wrote this role specifically for Cody Fern. Fern showed up to the FX Emmy Party wearing that red eye shadow

He is, but he got that before ACS Versace ended. In fact, I think he got HOC after his first episode of ACS aired. His career literally exploded overnight. I get this feeling that Murphy is like the Godfather - once he launches your career, you don't refuse him. Evan Peters is immensely talented, too, but we never see him in anything besides Murphy's projects, and as a result I don't think people take him seriously. I don't want to see that happen to Fern, because not only is he talented, he's pushing boundaries as far as gender stereotypes go. I don't want him to end up always playing a role that makes his sexuality a big part of the character, if that makes sense.

I think he's testing everyone to see who is evil and who isn't. I'm definitely seeing Michael as a warlock working with the coven to save humanity.

Is Bates a cyclon/cyborg or was that puss? Maybe she's been affected by the radiation? A big problem I'm noticing is that people are getting frustrated that there's been no real cross-over yet and the witches haven't shown up. The trailers are misleading, too. Everybody thought the coven was returning in last night's episode. I'm wondering if they're doing down to the wire editing on episodes. I've noticed a couple of lines of Cody Fern's have been cut between trailer and episode because his accent came out too strong. Fern is such a fantastic addition to the RM canon, but I hope he doesn't start showing up in everything RM produces the way Peters and Paulson do. It's like he owns them. It's weird. I really hope Murphy doesn't wear Fern out.

I think the laptop, like Rubberman, are illusions/traps set by Michael to create chaos. So I'm not sure anything on the laptop was real. I think Michael keeps setting the characters up to do things that will get them punished and so they'll wreak havoc on the outpost and kill each other. But, again, I don't think any of this is real. My guess is they'll kill these characters off so they can re-introduce the actors as new characters without confusing the audience too much. Emily and Timothy are most likely going to be related to Asylum's Kit Walker and that's the only reason they're there, so I don't care about them at all. Now that they've had sex, I rally don't care about them since they're probably related. I still think, when we go back to Murder House, we're going to learn Michael isn't the anti-christ and that the other baby is.

That was the American Horror Story I love. Just bananas, crazy shit and well-delivered snark. But man, the Outpost 3 storyline can't wrap up fast enough. Joan Collins is playing another character so I think we're going to be switching realities in a few episodes like they did with Roanoke. The blood ritual was a scene in Mr. Gallant's fantasy, I think. Cody Fern is so damn good. I was worried he was going to be too campy, but he's walking that line well.

Timothy is the young teen who just got into UCLA and taken from his family because of his special DNA. Many are saying they think he and Emily - the other woman taken to the bunker with Timothy - are going to be descendants of Kit Walker from Asylum. Totally extra but it's Ryan Murphy, so... Either way, I definitely think Michael isn't the antichrist. According to the bible, Michael was the angel that led the army against Satan.

the promos for next week's episode look like things are going to get really good. More bare ass Evan Peters. He appears to be having sex. I fully admit I squeed when Michael first came on screen and they played the song. I've been watching since day one and have stuck out every shitty season because Murder House was just that good. Cody Fern is sexy AF. I admire how bold he is in interviews and his choice of roles. He's in a relationship with a man, so I assume at the very least he's gay or bi, and he doesn't try to hide it despite this being the beginning of his career. That's refreshing.

The "Michael is the Anti-Christ" thing feels more and more like a misdirect. There's a clip floating around on Instagram of Sarah Paulson directing an episode. In the clip, she's directing Dylan McDermott, who looks to be in Murder House. He's crouched down and wearing a baseball mitt and directing someone off screen - likely a child, since he's crouched down - to throw him a ball. Since the ghosts don't appear to age after they die, who's Ben playing catch with in that scene? It could be Michael since Vivien is his mother, but would they be playing with The Anti-Christ? My gut says Timothy was checking his DNA because he suspected he was adopted, and that he's the Anti-Christ. Constance gave him up because he was murdering people and she couldn't cover it up. As for how Michael could age if he died in the house, I suspect he didn't actually die. I think the Collective is out to find the Anti-Christ and that's why Michael is at Outpost 3. I'm even more convinced there's a misdirect because of the teaser trailer where the devil hand slices open some kind of fruit and two scorpions - good and evil - crawl out from the make-shift womb and battle it out.

She had two babies, supposedly by different fathers. Michael is Tate's,or so we were led to believe. Constance took him away when she found Benn hanging from the chandelier. Nora took the other baby, who drew one breath and then died. Nora came and took that baby,and Vivien eventually got him back when Nora couldn't deal with the crying. Given that one of the babies is the antichrist and presumably can do anything it wants, I'm thinking they were both Tate's and are twins, but only one of them is evil. I'm thinking the short haired Cody Fern character is actually Jeffrey.

I think so, too. Vivien and Ben both died in Jeffery's presence, and he was insufferable when he was with Nora. It would be a brilliant twist to have audiences learn Jeffrey is the Anti-Christ. Cody Fern's ever-changing hair length in the trailer makes me wonder if he's playing both Michael and Jeffery. As for the multiple roles for each actor, I'm hoping they resolve Outpost 3 story before the episode 6 twist, to free up the actors to play their other roles in Murder House/Coven cross-over story. Paulson playing 3 characters is just, yeah, too much.

Is it definite that Michael - and not Jeffery - is the Anti-Christ? I mean, wasn't it Michael who kicked the devil out of Heaven?

I'm thinking the reason the other Outposts have been destroyed is because they failed to provide Michael with the ideal mother for his child. ('Sup Emily.) I think he wiped everyone else to create Antichrist babies and begin anew.

If you see screenshots of Michael's badge when he arrives, his ID number ends in -666. It could be a ghost from a boy that was a student at the boy's school before it became Outpost 3.
