Coven (story)

<p>At the Television Critics Association panel for American Horror Story: Apocalypse earlier this month, we got a good amount of info about the new secretive season which involves a Murder House/Coven crossover — and more and more information has been coming out since. Here’s everything we know so far: </p>

• Sarah Paulson is playing Billie Dean Howard, Cordelia Foxx and Venable; Kathy Bates is Ms. Meade, Emma Roberts is Madison Montgomery, Adina Porter is Diana Stevens (also spelled Dina and Dinah in some articles), Leslie Grossman is Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt, and Billie Lourd is Mallory.
• Paulson confirmed that Cordelia Foxx (now Goode!) is indeed still the Supreme. “She is the Supreme as of now,” said Paulson.
• The apocalypse ain’t the climax. “The story begins with the end of the world and then our world begins,” teased executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall.
• Jessica Lange will indeed return as Constance Langdon, her Murder House character, in an episode directed by her good pal Paulson. Star Evan Peters will also direct an episode of the series.
• Emma Roberts promised that Madison will be just as nasty as before. She was shooting recently and was told by the director “to be bitchier.”
• This season will apparently feature wild hair. Bates’ hair is both shaved on the sides and dyed black and Grossman apparently wears a cage on her head at one point.
• Cody Fern (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story) will play Michael Langdon, the Anti-Christ introduced in Murder House.
• Peters, Billy Eichner, and Joan Collins will also appear this season.
• Ryan Murphy has said that it’s set in the near future.
• Key Coven members, including Taissa Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibe, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy, and Stevie Nicks, are also set to return for Apocalypse.
• Also set for an AHS comeback? Murder House alums Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott.

<p>One thing I didn't see coming was the change in everything when it goes from one season to another. I've just recently joined the AHS life, and might I say I was confused for a while. Then I kinda figured it out. But, no matter what Evan Peters never seems to fool me on how great of an actor he is. And Taissa. She seems so emotionally attached to her roles. It truly is astounding to me. And how well they work togther. </p>

<p>I have a theory on how coven powers work. We know that the Supreme has the Seven Wonders. What if all powers are based off of the Seven Wonders. For example, Resurgence can be a combination of both Descensum and Vitalum Vitalus (Cordelia did say that Misty can reach into that place between life and death, which could be some form of Descensum, and bring the person back to life). Another example could be Nan's Clairvoyance, could it not be a more powerful form of Divination? Nan seemed to use it that way, seen in the first episode when she got a reading from Delphine's house. </p><p>
</p><p>Tell me if you agree or disagree with this. </p>

<p>famous madison montgomery may be realated to the famous charles (and nora) from season 1. so many last names to choose from, coincidence they share one and both are famous? yes charels and nora died, but charels mightve had a brother... </p>

<p>Did anyone notice that before the ending sequence of the final episode where Cordelia was on the news and all the girls started joining the coven cordelia fainted, so after that happened everything afterward seemed strange to me and too happy for an ahs ending. I have a theory that when Cordelia fainted she actually died and Fiona is still the supreme and what we saw afterward was Cordelia's version of heaven. </p>

<p>I wrote power sections for Cordelia and Fiona. I found them deleted (by admin BadleyBruised) and I undid the deletions to find a reminder saying my contribution was unnecessary and not aligned with the guidelines for the articles. So I left them as they were. deleted. 1. So my question is, if that's so then why the power sections that I DID NOT CREATE still are on the character's profiles? (Zoe, Misty, Nan, Voodoo Queen) 2. Also, isn't a power section needed for the characters? Each character have unique and common powers, but how they worked and their strength in specific ones were clearly unique to the characters, shouldn't that be a relevant reason to warrant each witch character to have a section explaining their powers and they worked? 3. I understand there's a little power list box for each character. The same list is in the "Witches" article, however the power list sections found on various articles (including mine that were deleted) show the character's unique depictions of their abilities not just the definitions of each as shown in the "Witches" article. 4. If in the end they are indeed unnecessary then all the "Powers & Abilities" written sections should be deleted not just the ones I contributed. </p>

When Fiona is talking to Dr. Zhong about the youth serum he says it’s called “RM-47.” RM = Ryan Murphy and 47 was his age at the time.</span> </p><p><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.600000381469727px;">Also, look at this article I just found:</span> </p><p><span style="line-height:19.600000381469727px;">http://www.ibtimes.com/american-horror-story-season-3-spoilers-audition-video-new-character-leaks-online-what-did-it-reveal</span> </p><p><span style="line-height:19.600000381469727px;">This article was about how this scene was leaked before the release of the episode and in the article it says the woman Zhong is talking to is named "Maude." Could you imagine Fiona being Maude the whole season? Apparently several character's names changed before filming though:</span> </p><p>http://www.ibtimes.com/american-horror-story-season-3-spoilers-3-new-characters-being-cast-casting-roundup-coven-1354191 </p><p><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:19.600000381469727px;">Just thought I'd share</span> </p>

<p>Help! Does anyone have a good quality picture of the coven sybmol shown in the background of this webpage? (top left one) </p><p>
</p><p>if so, please upload or email me at maddisoncross@gmail.com </p><p>
</p><p>thanks so much!  </p>

<p>Imagine this: Cordelia dies. If the rising Supreme dies, the reigning Supreme (Fiona) lives for 20+ more years. If Fiona never had any more children, and the Supreme title doesn't just jump to another person, does that mean Fiona would be immortal, or would a rising Supreme just come from another witch bloodline? </p>

What is the name of the song that is playing around 11 minutes? it sounds like an orchestra but I was wondering if anyone knows the name?

I'm not talking about her death at the finale but her being burnt at the stake. As many of you know a witch's power spikes in times of crisis but why didn't Misty use any of that power when she was being forced by those men. Or for that matter why didn't we get a flashback of her getting her revenge on those who sought to kill her instead of showing us a flashback of her killing alligator hunters.

<p>Ok so I don't know about you guys but I found that the seven wonders used to determine the new supreme were stupid. What kind of power is Descesum? Going to hell and back sounds cool but is a useless power and shouldn't have even been included since it seems like any witch can do it by just saying an incantation? Is the power getting there or getting out? i found that all of the seven wonders should have been average abilities that every witch possesses seing as how they were all developing the same powers and nothing new or major. These are what I consider  to be the true seven wonders. </p><p>1. Resurgence: The ability to bring back someone without the exchanging of life forces seems like a better power than Vitalum Vitalis since its seems more powerful and rare in a witch. </p><p>2. Transmutation(actual): Changing matter into something entirely different like in the Harry Potter series except more realistic </p><p>3. Shapeshifing: Changing your appearance seems like something a supreme can do or a really powerful witch </p><p>4. Time Travel: Only a really powerful witch or the supreme can do this since it allows to travel to different points in time but requires concentration or they'll travel to a wrong point in time </p><p>5. Molecular Combustion: an advanced form of pyrokinesis; it speeds up molecules to the point that they combust </p><p>6. Disempowerment: one of the most powerful of the seven wonders; it is only used as one of the harshest powers and only the supreme is capable of doing it </p><p>7. Elemental Control: Having control of the elements such as water, air, earth, and fire. </p><p>These are what I consider to be the true seven wonders; magic so advanced it pushes the boundaries. Perform them all and your the next supreme. </p>

<p>I absolutely hate that this season near the end forgot most of the references made the past few episodes. Such as Zoe's killer vagina and Queenie's ancestry, not to mention how little we know about the witches history. Including mention of a Russian witch who Fiona referred to as being a bitch or something along the lines. Not to mention how everyone ignored some of what happened past season. Such as Fiona murdering Supreme Anna Leighton and that war between the Witches and the Voodoo tribe that was mentioned but we never really saw. I even think that would make a great spinnoff idea; we'd see a young Fiona and Myrtle and explore more of the coven's lore we didn't get to see and what happened that caused the coven's collapse. Also we'd finally see Supreme Mimi who was supreme before Anna but flashbacks that would explore how supremency works. </p>
