AHS: NEW YORK Ending Explained! 

I honestly did not make it past 2 episodes. I did not like this season at all and I thank you for covering it.

Love the season..the soundtrack.. . The worst monster was the disease....

Waste like this part of my childhood. Did you want to end this crisis? How about being responsible? If you stick it in the wrong spot, you get what you get. PATHETIC

@@soulweaponx6644 Yes, too much money wasted on people who are drama queens and of course, bitch and moan that they are something more than the next guy. They are currently here destroying America and need to stop it. PERIOD.

@@yael657 No, the worst monster was the behavior or irrational Dairy Queens who want you to believe that the world owes them something more than the next guy. If they would have just gotten help, kept it in their pants and killed off Patti Lupone, America would be GREAT AGAIN!

Your comment made the whole season click for me thank you !

Thnx! I had mixed feelings about this season, definitely see it differently

Thank you, make sense to me now.

Agree 100% literally in the name of the show

Exactly, very real Horror story and imo one of the best seasons they’ve done.

All of what they present is truth, It’s just that what people don’t understand they think doesn’t exist

It's just no longer what it was. I'll be surprised if they try another season. A fan base drawn to activism only goes so far .

I haven't seen this season yet but I'm going to make time to watch it😢

Um no worst fuckin season stop sympathizing with the agenda

We can agree to disagree. The idea of horror is to scare and/or disturb the audience. When you're just targeting a specific audience, you're doing it wrong. AHS has always had something for everybody. This season didn't have that. It was most definitely meant for one segment of the audience. I'm sure it was terrifying season for members of the LGBTQ+ community. For the lowly degenerate straight folk in the audience, not so much.

Like omg that was awful. He was my fav character and I hate that he went through so much pain over and over.

I just couldn’t stop feeling for him as he watched everyone around him dying and he was getting so much weaker when he was the one who was desperately trying to ignite change in the beginning. That was so hard to watch.

In the 90's there were a lot of "alternative" films made that grappled with the fear of getting the disease, of having it, etc. This montage reminded me a lot of those. They lacked subtlety, but they made their points with overt artistry.

Not really. It was really sad that this fruitcake was the last to go as he was BIG DADDY not a guy with muscles. He was the carrier of the virus not a flight attendant from FRANCE. The fact is today we are still getting these viruses and they all come from the same source. It is time to charge them for condoms, vaseline and all of the feathers they pilfered. Tell me, how many TRILLIONS of DOLLARS was wasted on these crybabies who had no consciousness as they continued this behavior?

It was very much the reality of the time. It seemed every week brought the news of someone succumbing to this horrible disease. It was a nonstop onslaught it seemed.

And to think I was one of those people who said this season sucked. I take all that back now.. I loved it.. I just finished watching the season as I’m typing this comment out (July 2023) I’m glad I went back and gave it a chance. I was oblivious the whole season that it was about the aids epidemic and how it became about 😂 but it was a really really good season.

Right! I didn't understand why so many people didn't like it. It's probably because they want the slasher, haunted house bullshit. This is actually an American horror story.

​@glopop5282 I did this with Roanoke. I still don't really like Roanoke, I think it's one of the worst, but once I watched it again I got to appreciate it more.

I found it utterly boring. Couldn’t get past the first episode and I’m kind of reluctant to watch the current one now because of how bad the last one was.

I liked the themes and appreciated the metaphor toward aids, a true horror indeed, however I found the storyline a little boring overall. The storyline just seemed a bit jumbled and incomplete, and some of the acting was meh. Overall liked the idea just felt the final product was boring and I've found this with a couple of the other seasons too.

Yes, they brought up the true Horror of a Disease that silently killed so many people before it was finally taken seriously, truly horrifying

And yet it's so very shallow at the same time

@Giancarlo Jacobs I agree. While this season was filmed almost like a movie, there was still that "better Than you because we're sooo gay" vibe that other seasons had. While a bit less in yoyr face, it was there.

They lost most of the fan base for it. Too woke and desperate. Rip ahs

@@blackmamba4422 idk what people are talking about its dogsht lol

What? How? This shit sucked

I’m so sorry for your loss and everything you have been through 😢 Sending love & light your way

Oh my sweet baby, I'm so sorry for your loss ❤

You wrote that 11 months ago, and I thought I was reading my own comment at first! I remember that time well and also lost many dear friends.

This season of AHS was by far the best IMO. It reminds those of us who didn't live through these times of the horror that whole communities and families experienced all too recently ago. This is such an important season. Sorry for the losses and the heartbreaks for those who were there.

Are you still worried about AIDS? Just practice safe sex. Problem solved.

@@ssmith8758 tell you something, hiv isnt transmissible only by sex. you can get it from blood too

@themadkalimurjiasecularist6683 - Wrong, the virus is transmitted by bodily fluids, which includes blood. I remember hearing ignorant comments like yours back in the late '80s, even after babies and people who had had blood transfusions contracted the virus. Nowadays, there are tests to check blood donations if you are in first world countries. Need a blood transfusion in a third world country? You might still be at risk because people are still contracting it through transfusions.

Look up who was responsible for that stigma & his research on how it could be transmitted it's ridiculous. You're gonna trip when you see who it is

@@thatmovieguy7778 why wouldn't you just say who it was?? lol

What are you even talking about..? Aids is barely a thing anymore, especially given the current stupid hookup culture we have these days that rivals the sex-fests of the 70's. Besides, the last thing we need in modern entertainment media, is more woke political bullshit to ruin it for us. We watch it to be entertained, not to be fed some biased message.

Ugh rip ahs . It's over.

@@blackmamba4422 Agree, the last few seasons have been trash. Especially the last two. It's only a platform for virtue signaling now.

Thank You for your care and service as a paramedic to the community. 🙏💝🙏

I thought this too!!!

A little late to this comment sorry.. First I just wanted to say thank you for your care and compassion during that time ❤. And can I just say Dennis O'Hare is fabulous in everything! He'll always be my favorite on AHS. He is just so stunningly talented.

I love him! My favorite role of his in the AHS series is Liz Taylor! He absolutely killed that role.

are we watching the same thing? cause he is supposed to be a metaphor for aids...

Cut it out.

Agree with you on the final it had my eyes watering.

@@endor8witch Yes. AIDS is real, unlike the usual villains of ghosts, witches and the Antichrist. That's what I meant by 'he is real'.

I guess I was just confused by the use of a leather daddy being “the darkness”

I just had one neighbor, and that was more than enough. Also would like to remind people that Fauci and Birx made names for themselves and a lot of money off the virus while ignoring the gay community.

@@notverynotoriousg5674 sorry for your loss I haven't ever lost anyone to the disease but I have actually watched a documentary about faucci and him pushing the use of AZT even though it had horrible side effects and refusing to try other treatments

but they are sodomites and deserve it.

I am 60 now which means in 1981 I was a 19 year old gay man. I was delighted that they showed the first real press release about gay men dying of a rare cancer even though by the time that came out we were seeing guys dropping from all sorts of diseases that your body could typically fight off. If anyone questions that the scenes Ryan depicted actually occurred yes they absolutely did. NO ONE knew how this thing was spreading at first. The theories were rampant and misinformation spread like wildfire. One of the rumours was that some right wing wacko was taking plutonium fragents and hiding them in bath houses and gay bars. First responders quite often wouldn't once they found out who was asking for help. If they did show, they came in hazmat suits. The only thing they didn't depict this season and this kind of pisses me off a bit was that it was the community itself that stepped up to take care of those affected since the government washed it's hands of us until after Rock Hudson died (Reagan didn't say the word AIDS in public until after that). Lesbians were the ones who really stepped up and started organizing meal delivery, home checks, medication co-ops, etc., etc. So BRAVO to Ryan and his team for showing a slice of what it was like for us back then. It was literal HELL. Imagine the simple act of wanting to express sexual feelings for someone was like playing Russian Roulette for us back then. Sex = Death was a very real fact of life for us. One week you would marvel at how handsome someone was or how magnificently built they were and the next time you saw them out and about a few weeks later and they were visibly detiorating and shortly after that they disappeared off the face of the Earth. MANY of them to be sent back home to some backwater village to die in the care of their families who up to that point probably didn't know they're son/brother/cousin were gay in the first place until the living skeleton they had turned into showed up.

@@douglasdean3785 gods justice for sodomites haha 😆

Good for you. I was on Gino didn't say it back and didn't like it. Did'nt realize it was the same spoon

Didn't gino have it first??

Me too

Yeah, that really stood out to me too 😭 he said it without saying it

I don’t think Gino didn’t have it already by that time, they were partners of a few years..

unfortunately this is really close to the truth. truly shameful

@@IWillHarvestYourToes no it's not. I was there, and it was neither ignored nor were those who had it victimized. Back then no matter who you were if you screwed everything that moved you got either syphilis or gonorrhea or Aids. The big difference was the first two had a cure. The third did not. Every homosexual that was there did not screw everything that moved in some random bath house. And a search for the Cure started immediately upon realizing that this disease was out there.

@@IWillHarvestYourToes how would you know? Did you work there like I did? Did you go to all the clubs like I did and see it all in person? Did you know people like I did that actually had AIDS? You have obviously been watching too much TV. Screw around and you get a disease at least that's the way it was back then. If you were lucky you didn't get the one that killed you.

@@GoFindYourRoad You are too broad and too harsh in your assessment. There were many who caught the the disease by trusting in an unfaithful partner, blood transfusions that were not/could not be screened at the onset of this disease ( due to the technology at the time), addicts sharing infected needles, and people having sex and not knowing they were infected & infecting. Shhhhhh, your narrow mindedness is showing, and it is certainly not a good look. 👎🏼

@@GoFindYourRoad He said 'minimized' not 'victimized' and that's not even up for debate, it is a well documented time in history. Just because you say you were there doesn't change the facts of the situation. If research started on AIDS as early as you say it did, Princess Diana hugging AIDS patients would not have had the profound impact that it did.

Bless u, keep going strong 👍🏻🌹

Totally agree. I'm 61 and lost so many friends. This season was really good. Loved how Big Daddy was the spectre of HIV/AIDS. I hope young people watch this so they can appreciate the changes that have happened.

I’m sorry you experienced that. My therapist became a therapist because he helped and cared for so many friends in their last months.

I can’t imagine the struggle but thank you for sharing. 🤞🏽

Sadly most illnesses dont get as much privilege as aids does

My brother died 30 years ago on my birthday of this disease...He had nursed his partner through the disease when his partner's family rejected him. The very day my brothers partner died, the family showed up and changed the locks. I truly had no idea of the magnitude of cruelty and the lack of humanity shown to the victims of this horror.

Exactly I thought the same 👍🏼

Completely agree...final episode and the song took my breath..best season of AHS

It was a good story, but it didn’t feel like AHS to me. And the last two episodes were garbage.

@@psilocypher when you lose someone who matters to you, the last two episodes won’t be garbage to you. Gaw-bless!

@@zuitsuit80 Ok goofball. I can get the message without enjoying the show. I have lost people dear to me, and that has no bearing on my perception of a season of AHS, you nut. Also, my “avatar” isn’t misspelled. It isn’t even a real word. It’s a portmanteau of psilocybin of philosopher. And your three back to back responses to a completely benign opinion of a tv show tells me all I need to know about you. Jesus, I hope you are younger than 16 or so, for your own sake.

I was born in 85 and although my mother was excruciatingly careful to make sure I wasn't exposed to the fear mongering and hate directed at gay people, I still remember hearing vile comments and seeing people harass and reject people for having AIDS. it was a hateful time to live in and I will NEVER forgive the government for ignoring the problem.

Wow, this is the first time latest AHS season released and I didn't even know it existed 😳.

@@haidenhill6358 Same here, I didn't here much noise about it and I actually forgot about it, thank god I remembered. It was a nice season.

I learn a few minutes ago that season eleven got out, and I was a big fan years ago.

The beginning of the season started out great with a storyline and purpose then later it plummeted into a agonizing meaningless video accompanied by the most annoying background of something resembling music spiraling out of control with no clue as to what this leather man is resembling aids? Who knows ? Extremely disappointing end despite the importance of the theme, it could have been better.

What happened in last 2 episodes? Cause i thought it was like a dream (because it was not realistic) and i still dont know what happened??

same

@@patriciaperry8266 - Huh? That music was Kraftwerk! The grandfathers of electronica. The video wasn't "meaningless" because the whole thing had symbology which referenced real life events. You simply didn't understand it which is why you call it "meaningless."

@SkyNet General I don't think so.

@SkyNet General hahahah no. I mean, I don't think this was the weakest. Have you seen Death Valey? 🥴

@SkyNet General ?

@SkyNet General I got it 2 or 3 episodes in if you connect the dots from what year it is and gay men are dying.

@SkyNet General First episode gay men are dying.

we have the exact same favourites!

@@joychapman59 what can I say....I guess great minds think alike lol

Big Daddy symbolized the HIV plague. Silently always there and bringing death.

Big Daddy symbolized the HIV plague. Silently always there and bringing death.

It was garbage to be fair.

Same! That's my gripe with this season too.

I don't know how to be remotely historically accurate and have POC, a white circle of friends in the 80s would be all white. Just because I associate with whoever a lot of white people still give me that NOKD look.

@@notverynotoriousg5674 true true...

I think the lack of POC and the disappearance of the lesbians was done on purpose, there wasn't coverage for them at the time

The lesbians subplot was really a missed opportunity, it's already there with Fran.

ya this show is visiting different dimensions of horrors for sure, aids is horror no less

It was more liberal garbage. Horror? Sadness? Injustice? LMAO. The problem is your behavior will dictate what you deserve.

@@mrautomatic9087 lol classic smooth brain thinking 🤔 that's as dumb as asking why covid patient zero didn't take covid vaccine... why would anyone adjust their behaviors due to aids BEFORE aids was discovered?

@@mrautomatic9087 During the 80s the government totally ignored and stigmatized thousands of patients with AIDS, if that's not an injustice to you, you might check your morals because that conservative garbage is rotting your brain for sure... If you deserve illness and death, then why do we still funding medicine? Then even catching covid is because of your behavior, see? that's how stupid you sound

I also wondered about the shit i took this morning, doesn't mean it was important.

@@TheRealBatCave that’s because you aren’t important, you’re nothing

Transcendent..? Transcendiary..? You should know how to use different forms of words if you're going to try and sound smart...

I was a kid in the 90's. Waterfalls by TLC used to scare the shit out of me...

@@RG2k07 the video 😬

@@alphamega2481 yes that's what I meant

Tell me, do you wear a condom? These people were irresponsible and wonder why they died? They still do this today with their filthy behavior.

Yeah me too, made it more heartbreaking though

same here

Wondering the same thing. I’m very confused about that still.

Yup,I thought the same thing.

Maybe he was both? 🤷

The molotov cocktail thrown at the bar does not make sense since there was a literal fire and lockdown

I was maybe 19 watching a neighbor wither away, more than his pain it was the pain of his boyfriend losing him and totally helpless is just one of those things that sticks with you. One of the things that really bugged me about the pandemic was them hauling out Fauci and Birx, who were all about using the virus for their own weath and position, I don't think people realized that.

@@notverynotoriousg5674 Fauci probably spread the virus

@@samueltromp lol, no he just profited bigly while people died. I really have no idea why they thought hauling him out for a pandemic was a good thing, complete failure sending mixed messages. the whole "we need the real masks so you go make one at home with an old shirt" thing was what I would expect from him. Never any explanation of how to use a mask, nothing. Only in the US could a pandemic be about corporate profits and politics.

i definitely thought that too, not to mention the fact he targets gay men specifically

The Gay Agenda was pushed way to Hard. To the point were it was just Pathetic. This season was a Joke & doesn't even belong in the AHS franchise. Totally jumped shark. Just when I thought they couldn't make a worse season. So many things in this season didn't even make sense. Most people liking it cause its PC thing to do. Life Time movies are Oscar winners compared to this Train Wreck.

@@TheSpelledMilk I felt that I couldn’t relate to a lot of the characters because I am not gay, but I still enjoyed this season. I just wish that the finale was more grounded in horror rather than symbolism.

@@lucretiamaggio6154 You know it's bad when Gay people are saying it was to Gay. This season was just Pathetic. What a let down. I'm done w American Horror Story. Didn't think it could get worse, then this season happened. It shouldn't even be in the Franchise. The more I think about it, the worse it gets. So many unexplained things. Thought 1984 was trash, but this tops the cake. This was the Final Nail in the coffin. Complete GARBAGE. Pee Wees Big Adventure was more Horror then this. Next season of AHS will probably be a Musical. 🤮

@@TheSpelledMilk hahaha! This show is so divisive!

@@TheSpelledMilk If you're homophobic just say you're homophobic. There's no such thing as a "gay agenda." Moron

Same 😭

Also same.

Yeah way too much

I guess you have no standards. I think everyone should be offered jail time or 30 minutes to listen to that POS hack Patti Lupone. I suspect the jails will be full with this as another punishment.

Yes !! Agree 100%

Same for me, those are my top 3

So happy so many people liked it. My husband worked extremely hard doing the real effects on set and a lot went into it. Glad it was worth it!

I think the first person to die from it was in 1950... so yes it was around decades prior.

I think that means that HIV set that bar on "fire." It was a representation and metaphor. It also made people have to fight and battle.

@@kcl6627 That makes no sense. The bar fire was an actual fire and many people had smoke inhalation from it. Not to mention the fact that Big Daddy was seen and corroborated by multiple people and physically interacted with multiple people as well. They also never explained what happened to the friend who got lost in the woods. All they said was "he's probably dead." How? And why was his body never found? There are so many plot holes surrounding the Big Daddy "metaphor" which really hurts the season for me.

I kept waiting for an explanation or revelation that just never came.

Right. Adam’s roommate Sully. It was never explained what happened to him and all the other victims. It was implied that they all died of AIDS, but why would that make them just vanish? Especially when several characters died without going missing.

This was my exact issue with the ending that "big daddy was always a metaphor". It just doesn't add up to the rest of the season. I would understand if "he" was always just looming and a figure people "saw" but he physically interacted with people multiple times causing injuries, fires, broken doors, etc.

I agree with u that it was a plot hole👍🏻

If you think of big daddy as a carrier, he could have been anyone
