I am glad the Supreme is who she is. Good call. And she seems like a White Witch if anyone from the cast is. But it's weird to have Nicks the White Witch appear without grieving her friend Fiona, or acting on behalf of Misty or even delivering a line/spell that would send the coven towards the right direction (the direction it eventually does take under the new Supreme).

Her vocal was definitely way up front; I couldn't really tell if it was an alternate version, or if they just turned the backing vocals down. It sounded incredible to my ears!

I agree with this

Didn't she resurrect Misty from the Dead and now she can't resurrect Zoe from the dead. It just didn't fit. And Zoe died during a game, she already proved she could transmute. She didn't fail that test, so when she was brought to life didn't that mean she still had a shot to be the supreme. Also, Silver Springs being played at a witch burning did not fit.

I agree with this too!

I saw an article online that pretty much ripped the show for making Cordelia the Supreme, citing a bunch of her actions throughout the season that showed her as weak and incompetent and as un-supreme as could be.

Yes, the other "hells" were a joke.

And I said to my husband weeks ago - :"why wouldn't it be Cordelia? She IS her daughter!!!" As for Cordelia being too weak to be Supreme, Myrtle made a comment in the finale that Cordelia's powers were suppressed by her mother for many years - not sure if she meant purposely, or just because Fiona was so powerful that everyone else was a bit weaker? Anyway, I think the explanation was that she was suddenly more powerful & able to become supreme.

Nan was drowned & is with the devil for eternity. I think it can be assumed that she's suffering.

[Nicks is never revealed to be any sort of figure of true importance, and her music doesn't offer a leitmotif that takes us there as a plot device. It's like the makers of the show just had a bunch of her songs stuck in their heads and exorcised the earworm through television.

This is why I'm left feeling a bit empty. I'm thrilled that Stevie's been exposed to thousands of younger/newer fans. But I feel in my heart that it was a missed opportunity.


BTW - I have watched every season of AHS & it's one of my favorite shows. Jessica Lange kills it every time, not to mention the other actors (Lilly Rabe & Sarah Paulson in particular.) And honestly, season 2 was my favorite - once you take out all that alien nonsense, lol.

Season 4 set in the 50's, Jessica Lange with a German accent? Hmmmmm. They already touched on Nazi atrocities in season 2; I wonder what route he'll go this time around.
