To be honest, after a half year of waiting I'm kinda disappointed. I was like this: if AHS (which I like a lot) wants to save this season, or cares even a bit: S12E06 is a now or never.
The saving did not happen, in my opinion, which is very sad.
I got to say it straight: if a show is wasting more than half of a season to make an epic conclusion in the last 2-3 episodes: the outcome will be flat. Period.
Not the first time, not the last. Shows have been cancelled for stalling a lot of times; so I don't get the reason behind this now AHS.
To make things worse, this is an anthology. The next season will be (if there ever will be) something totally different, with little to no ties to this season.
So no second chances to redeem. If this goes fubar now: it stays that way.
Obviously, I will stay until the end. The S1-3-8 connection was the best thing that I saw from AHS till now. I had high hopes, that it would continue with S12. Seemingly that's not the case, not until now at least.
