Have they announced what the next season will be? Hasn't Jessica Lange said that this was her last season?
They haven't announced what they're doing next yet. Persistent alien rumors exist but still, only rumors. Lange said she was done after this season but has recently stated that if the story is right she just might return. I hope so!

This was definitely my least fave season. I would rank them as such 3,2,1,4. However, I liked the last few eps and the sprinkle of Pepper ep(see what I did there? ;-D). I loved the finale.

Like the entire season the finale started out uneven but then went on a completely dark note with Dandy shooting all of the freaks and then ended happy with Elsa back with her family. I thought for awhile there that Elsa might go to hell but since she essentially committed suicide to repent I thought she had a fitting end. The writers must have known that every fan on the planet wanted Dandy dead because they did it in such a great way! The popcorn was a great touch
Some of the "freaks" are going to be at an upcoming horror con that I'm going too, looking forward to meeting them!

I'll let you know! They're having Pepper, Legless Suzi, Meep, and Twisty. A diverse mix to say the least. I bought a promo crystal ball that has AHS Freakshow on it along with Twisty's smile. I'm going to have them sign that.

I hope so! I'd love to see a Twilight Zone type season. Maybe a different theme every week, like they used to do on TZ. Then they wouldn't be stuck with one story arc that could get boring, like parts of this season did.

Did not expect that ending. I liked it.

I didn't expect that ending either. I actually didn't know what to expect lol. I liked it too. It seemed right y'know? I can't wait to see what theme they go with next season. Maybe it could have something to do with a school for children who are learning to make their dream creatures enter the real world or drag others into their dreamworld... that's the best I can come up with lol.

Me too. Although I took two sittings to watch it all and I was cursing my TV when...
Dandy was shooting the freaks! I kept thinking, "There can't be any more bullets in that tiny gun!" And too take so many, just :down:

then I perked up when...
Dandy finally got to do his debut show! Yeay Freaks!

and finally...
I liked the wrap up with Elsa. I thought she was going to go with Twisty and the others, but was much happier with the alternative.

So now, I am ready to go back and watch other seasons. What order would you veteran viewers recommend? Should I go back to Season 1 and give it another try? Start with Asylum since I am familiar with Pepper? Or is Coven my best option?

I loved Coven. It was the first season I watched and I kinda wish it hadn't been... It's a hard act to follow lol. I havn't seen Asylum yet but I liked Murder House a lot :)

do1you9love? I would start from the beginning! Season 1 is my favorite, personally. I thought season 2 and 3 were great, also. Season 2 is definitely the darkest season with season 3 being the most "fun" and entertaining.

I don't know what to call season 4. As Bev Vincent said, it was a trainwreck. As it went on, I lost interest and got bored. It was such a mess. I think what turned me off was the character of Dandy. Nothing to do with the actor, the character just annoyed the heck out of me. Definitely not my favorite season.

I just hope next season returns to the present time.
