Has Peters ever had as much fun in the franchise as he did playing punk hotshot actor Rory? We don't think so, which makes it all the crueler that we only got to spend one episode with him.
Oh, Kit. We really felt and rooted for Kit this whole season. Even with all the alien stuff.
As cult leader Kai, Peters has never been scarier or more powerful.
A psychopathic ghost gave Evan Peters a lot do.
We liked Sarah Paulson's version of Shelby a little bit more than we liked Lily Rabe's, but that's not saying much. Shelby was just sort of the worst.
Can we watch the reality show Billie Dean Howard was working on?
Audrey was a blast, with her silly accent and her oblivious cries about all the parts she didn't get to play as she feared for her life. You could tell that Paulson was relishing the opportunity to send up the vapidness that's sometimes associated with her profession.
These are technically two characters and what a feat it was for Paulson to pull off (and she did).
Ally's fever-pitched phobias were a bit grating in the beginning (she was at an 11, always), but when she began exacting her revenge about midseason, she showed everyone who was boss.
A junkie ghost who sews people into beds? Even Sarah Paulson makes that work.
All hail the (new) Supreme!
Lana Winters is probably the most heroic character ever on AHS and she's Sarah Paulson's favorite, so there.
The tortured backstory (she lost her legs in a snuff film!), the murdering, the singing...there was a lot going on with Elsa.
We went from hating her to rooting for her and that would not have been possible without Jessica Lange under that habit.
Delightfully campy and bad to the bone with awesome powers to boot!
Lange's performance as Constance is the defining AHS performance. Never forget that beauty shop scene.
