AHS: Asylum Season 2 Episode 13 Season Finale Breakdown!

spoilers also, duh, why would you watch this without knowing that this video consists of spoilers
this is the absolute best season of ahs. not only are there so many elements sewn into the storyline, but the overall question of sanity and how one maintains their sanity is so realistic, and i will add that the timeframe of the season makes it all the more authentic considering it’s based in an era that lacked any technology that we have benefitted from in the past forty or so years. you couldn’t just record a confession on the iphone in your back pocket. you couldn’t snapchat the events of your alien abduction with a cute filter on your face.
in terms of this final episode: my interpretation is that while lana indulged on her ever-flowing fame, she still had experienced a deep and nearly incomprehensible guilt that stemmed from her understanding that everything that had happened to her, to wendy, even to her estranged son, was completely her fault because of her incessant ambition to get a “real story” the second she decided to enter briarcliff. she voices this guilt and blame for herself in the last couple of episodes. and it’s fascinating because when i first watched this finale i thought that she presented authentic empathy towards johnny, her son born from the horrors she endured, before she shot and killed him. after rewatching this season for the billionth time, almost ten years later, i now understand that she fully blamed herself for everything, for her imprisonment in briarcliff (even though the majority of the season tries to convince her and the audience that it was wendy’s betrayal that landed her there), for her involvement with oliver threadson, all the way to the conception of her pregnancy and the understanding that her son will probably find her one day and kill her. she understood that she was responsible for so many deaths, which made sense as to why she ended up shooting johnny after having told him that threadson wasn’t the only one in his dna, and that she was in there as well. she had to re-adapt to the mentality that she had experienced in the past that led to her escape from threadson’s knife. in this final episode, she had to relive her horror after having steeped in her guilt.
it’s fucking genius.
sorry for the rant and that it doesn’t really make sense i’m drunk and i just need to analyze some shit even though all of you are probably reading this and thinking “uh, yeah, that’s literally what the episode is saying, tell me something new.”
anyways. i must post this because it has become far too long and i have no choice now. thank you goodnight

guy on the right is annoying af

I can't understand the ending
Of the episode

Did lana made everything up or was that just a clip from the first episode or something

what if Kits kids from Grace and the other chick are the people with special dna from apocalypse

Could you guys talk about the four mythological beings in the series
Twisty
The rubber man
Bloody face
and The piggy man

It would be interesting to see both of your takes on the meaning of them being cannon mythology in the whole series and how it effects everything

I love AHS and I loved this season but honestly I was soooo confused. I didn’t understand the alien and whole Kit story and all that jazz someone please help😂

bro thats the kid who played Shane Dawsons Kid 5:09

Did you guys not notice that Lana Winters was dressing like Judy in her early years?

Johnny was the most useless character… he didn’t do anything except kill a couple of people and get shot…

Hey what happened to the little girl in the asylum who killed her family?😕😕😕😕

So basically you want a The Faculty style season with aliens in a high school?

I'm sorry those kids were creepy.

I was crying my eyes out at the finale when Jude was taken by the Angel of death. Such an epic and beautiful moment of peace for such a tortured character

Freak Show! Freak Show! Freak Show!

Fargo?

you should do “everything we know about kyle spencer” from AHS season 3 coven
i say this because when kyle killed madison montgomory “ if i spell it right” he disappeared and im confused because i want to know what happend to kyle did kyle get murderd or sent to hell or somethin

WOOHOOO! I just finish Asylum for the first time and watch this when the last ep ended… amazing! Only watched Coven, Apocalypse, and Asylum… probably going to do Murder house or Freak Show next
