Wow a huge improvement
WhenAmyMetSalad27 September 2018
This episode is THE episode that will bring back a huge chunk of the fan base from previous seasons. There is a lot of character development from Mallory, Langdon, Dinah, Ms. Mead, Venable, and Brock. Coco is sadly still stale as a character and still very much annoying BUT something tells me she might pull a 180 soon.

Langdon easily feels as threatening as Frances Conroy's Angel of Death character in Asylum and not like a Twilight vampire like I previously reviewed. We also get some action going on this episode with a faux flashback sequence by one of the characters which gave me Kill Bill vibes. Copperhead vs Black Mamba anyone?

Be warned though everything is changing this episode. Something wicked this way comes.

After giving the first episode an abysmal review and a 3 rating followed by a 6 for the second episode it feels like this season will continue getting better.

You cant die from ingesting snake venom!!! =((((((((((( it just gets digested in the stomach, except if there are cuts or ulcers along the digestive tract which couldn't have been the case for everybody. that was so dumb. pretty sure they didn't think to check if you can die from drinking snake venom. still, i tell myself it was some special king of venom from the devil or something so i dont ruin the fantasy. best episode so far except for that bit

The Witches Are Back!?
ZegMaarJus11 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode begins with Michael, he has a conversation with Gallant. Mallory has a special gift. Michael cuts himself in his arms. We see flashbacks from Miriam's past. Brock stabbed The Fist in her neck, she died afterwards. Brock enters Outpost Three. Brock is dancing with Coco. Brock sticks a knife in Coco's head, she died instantly. Miriam poisoned the Apples. Everybody eats a apple. Everybody chokes after eating the apple. Gallant, Emily, Timothy, Dinah, Andre and Mallory died. Miriam shot down Wilhelmina, she died afterwards. Myrtle, Cordelia and Madison arrived at Outpost Three. Cordelia revived Coco, Mallory and Dinah. Nice episode of American Horror Story Season 8, what a episode. Myrtle, Cordelia and Madison returned in this episode. Characters from the 3th season walk into this Season. What will this mean for the plot?

A great episode!
sindre-stang26 September 2018
This episode was really good. Things are really starting to make sense, and the characters have definetly more to them than we thought. This season does look promising now, and this comes from someone who havent enjoyed AHS that mutch since season 4. Dont believe any bad reviews about this episode. It has everything people complained about after the last episode.

The Witches Are Back!!!!!
vincentlucia-3770027 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Well the crossover has finally begun. And I did not expect for both Venable and Meade to kill everyone. But when the witches came in at the end of the episode resurrecting Coco, Mallory, and Dinah was so awesome. But when Madison said "I bet you thought you seen the last of me" at Mallory gave me thinking that they know each other. And I almost forgot that in the beginning of the episode when Mallory threw Michael across the room without using her hands and Mallory setting the room on fire just a little bit gave me a thought that she might be a witch.

They're Back!
Al-Jaeger27 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The crossover has truly began. Cordelia, Myrtle, and Maddison are back. And they brought back Dinah, Mallory, and Coco and referred to them as their sister witches. Theory: Dinah = Queenie. Mallory = Misty. Coco = Zoey. That after these three witches died their souls were transferred into another person.

It was also good to see life outside of the bunker. That was something the first few episodes were missing. It's interesting to see how life has collapsed and what people have begun. Hopefully by the time this season is over we get to see more of that.

Fan service does not a good episode make
alienf3tus28 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Just more of the same. Nothing happening until the last 5 minutes, and, until then, we get extremely cartoonish characters (as I've said many times before) especially Coco, who is probably the most annoying character in television history. The entrance of the witches from season three also felt very misplaced and shoehorned as fan service (which it really is, let's not kid ourselves) but i will give it that the music was nice. Additionally, on this same note, just because the characters from one of previous seasons are back doesn't make the entire episode good, as I've seen many other reviewers seem to assert. Also, the 'surprise bitch' line makes no sense. Mallory has never seen Madison before (or as far as we know) so why would she have expected to have seen the last of her? Because Murphy needed to shoehorn in that famous catch phrase for fan service. Come to think of it, aren't Madison and Myrtle both dead?

It's all starting to come together
Wordanjells27 September 2018
In this episode of AHS: Apocalypse, we really see the true plot of this story start to unravel. From start to finish the episode keeps you on the edge of your seat with that looming question that I, like most fans of the series have. That question is, how the hell do the witches come into play?!? I've made several theories and it's all starting to make sense. Original fans of the first and third season will be as delighted as I am of how this one is shaping out to be.

Love Rosie the Robot
creggerassoc27 September 2018
I have loved everything Cathy Bates has ever done. One of my favorite parts of episode 3 was the Halloween part Camryn Cregger as Rosie the Robot . Great show. More flash backs please .

What?
angenwayne88918 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I'm surprised at everyone's excitement and raving to see the witches from Coven return. It would be great if two of those witches weren't actually dead and the other wasn't blind, but they were..? That kind of takes the thrill out of it for me. And the fact that Madison Montgomery was such an easy character to utterly despise made her sassy little comment even more eye rolling. I totally get that American Horror Story doesn't always make sense, I've spent countless hours with people trying to explain various goings on in previous series so I'm not picking fault for no reason. It's also a little disappointing to get to the end of episode 3 and feel like nothing has actually happened yet. Can I add that I have watched every episode of the whole series countless times and would say American Horror Story is my absolute favourite TV drama EVER so to say I'm disappointed is a bit of an understatement. I wanted to love this series as much as all the others (and I do love them ALL), I was sure I would but right now I'm having doubts. Fingers crossed.

They are all over the place. Just like the last season
nek_773 October 2018
This season started off so promesing. In just three episodes, it already looks like chaos. The fact that they bring the witches back is pretty cool. Hopefully they have some type of actual plot and doesn't end like last season which I feel was the worst.

Interesting
skaterryan1227 September 2018
Of course there are only 2 seasons of this show that I have not seen and Coven happens to be one of them. Leave it to that season to get the crossover event. Guess I have to binge an entire season before the next episode. Good episode though.

The coven have returned
lorcan-6188127 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
We now hit our third episode of "AHS Apocalypse" where our fabulous Coven witches return to our screen to save the outpost. Meanwhile, Ms. Meade and Ms. Veneble put their plan into action ending up a bit different then expected. So..ya, wow. Spoilers ahead -

So, Ms. Meade is kind of like Constance I guess, shes basically Ms Meade's prototype, like, Ms. Meade is just a body but Constance's mind is in her body, really weird but eh ya, Constance is basically back and even though Jessica Lange isn't playing her (for now), I'm sure Kathy Bates can pull it off without a doubt. And then there was the big "bodies hit the floor" scene and everyone was killed, well, I don't know what's going to happen now but we can expect Evan Peters to return again anyway, Timonthy and whatever her name is, I'm not too sure about as they are only guest stars or they'll probably return as new characters. Then of course the witch's return and the idea of Mallory, Dinah and Coco being witches.

This is by far one of the best episodes I've seen since Roanoke, while Cult still remains to me as my least favourite season so it's amazing to see my second favourite show picking up again. I'm excited and also very confused for Episode 4. One thing that's been being said is that the Hotel Cortez is going to appear so..just pray ss hard as you can!!!

One of the best episodes made
tommy_latimer27 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This episode had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. This is one of the best episodes of American Horror Story. I don't ever write reviews but I needed to reassure people that American Horror Story exceeded my expectations.

Character development was actually on another level especially with Mallory not understanding her powers.

Next week looks set to be a big crossover episode.

Honestly they will regret only making this ten episodes as it could easily go on for three more

The real start of the season!
arebazas26 September 2018
What an episode! Nothing wasted. Everything falls into place to bring the true story of the season. I was concerned the season would be slow but this episode turns it all open. Won't spoil anything but fans will be truly happy at the end...

Shocking turn.
cruise015 October 2019
4 out of 5 stars.

The episode is a blood bath. Its creepy, weird, and everything it should be. The ending crosses over to the coven season. And turns into an interesting direction.

Kill Bill Vol 1 Homage
TheFearmakers16 March 2024
I can see this is the episode of Season 8 where people started getting back into the show; personally, for me, the first two episodes involving all of those irritated people sitting around doing nothing are the best of the season... it's something about the end of the world and having nothing to do but learn as you go, that kind of thing...

This is a good episode, however, and it's also the time when things start to narrow into a destination of where the season is going... however, one "connection" must be noted because it seems this website won't allow it, but...

When Kathy Bates's character is having her memory of fighting inside the kitchen into the living room, it's right out of Kill Bill Volume 1 when The Bride is fighting Copperhead in the kitchen... it's not only homage but practically shot-by-shot, but... not everyone can see everything like some of us who have seen enough movies to know... anyhow...

From bad to not watchable
zumbis1 October 2018
Season started with a new idea of a global catastrophy with nuclear blast. It could have been good with something similar to mad max gangs but instead they give us witches, devil and robots.. Waste of time with no scenario
