American Horror Story "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks" Review

I have been meaning to review this season for so long, but things keep happening to stop me. It's almost like there's a curse on this season for me. At least in the sense that things keep popping up so I can't review episodes from this season.

But now I can review this episode and I am happy.

In this episode we get to see Stevie Nicks. What's so great about that? It's the fact that Misty has been shown to be obsessed with the singer, believes she's a witch, and so we've been hearing about Nicks all season long.

So I was very happy about her appearance this season.

We also get to have it revealed how Marie has been able to achieve immortality and that she's 300 years old. She made a deal with Philip Broyles...er...Papa Legba to do a favor for him each year so she will not die. In this episode she has to offer/kill a baby/an innocent soul, so many have concluded that it's the same thing every year.

Marie states in the episode that the offers become worse every year so she might not always have had to kill babies.

Whatever the case is, I think it's clear that Marie is no saint. However, that's true of every character on the show. Most people in the show will reach a point in which they will cross a line they never thought they would in the past.

Marie, at any time, could have said no to the deal and suffered the consequences. But she didn't and that makes her a bad character.

A big thing this season is who the next Supreme is. Who will take over once Fiona is out of the picture, in other words. The only real hint I remember hearing about it is that it's someone no one suspects. This week I'm going with Myrtle and I have seen a few others point out why that could work.

The thing against Myrtle being the Supreme before was that she's in the same generation as Fiona and the next Supreme would have to be from the next generation. However, Myrtle has risen up from the dead and there have been lines about how young she looks now.

So I take that to mean Myrtle could very well be the next Supreme.

Madison has been a bitch throughout this season. But it's always bordered on funny and why am I laughing. But this episode she's taken a real dark turn. She is obsessed with being the Supreme now and attempts to kill Misty.

I think Madison knows that she won't be able to kill Misty (what with the witch having brought herself back to life once), so she puts her into a situation that will be hard to get out of.

Nan, who has been innocent so far, murders a woman in cold blood in this episode. In all honesty the 'bitch had it coming' since the woman killed her son during the previous episode, killed the son's father before the season began, and made the son's life a living Hell. What set Nan into killing was the fact that the mother cremated her son so the witches wouldn't be able to resurrect him.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Nan was in love with the son.

This was a great start to the second half of this season. Hopefully it has as good of a finale as Asylum!
