American Horror Story Season 10 Part 2 Cast

"Death Valley": An Alien Romp We May Or May Not Remember

Okay, let's be real. American Horror Story Season 10's second half, "Death Valley," was... interesting. Aliens, conspiracies, and questionable fashion choices? Sign me up (maybe)! But who exactly braved the Nevada desert for this bizarre ride?

The cast was a mix of familiar faces and fresh blood. Some soared. Others… well, they were there. Let's dive in!

The Usual Suspects (Bless Their Hearts)

First, we have Sarah Paulson. She played Mamie Eisenhower. Did she chew scenery? Absolutely! Did we expect anything less?

Then there's Lily Rabe, rocking a 60s vibe. Her performance as Amelia Earhart was a highlight for me. I actually enjoyed seeing her as an alien abductee.

Finn Wittrock showed up as a slightly unhinged Eisenhower. Let's be honest, who wasn't a little unhinged in "Death Valley?" He was good at portraying a character spiraling into madness.

The "Wait, They Were in This?" Crew

Leslie Grossman graced us with her presence. She was an ambitious woman who will do anything to get to the top. I really enjoyed her performance.

Angelica Ross played Theta. An alien whose goal is to impregnate humankind to create a hybrid alien/human baby. It was a different role for her and she delivered a great performance.

Neal McDonough was in the cast as Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was awesome to see him in this type of setting. He delivered great acting abilities.

The Newbies (Making an Impression?)

This is where things get… divisive. Some new faces joined the AHS family, and opinions were mixed. I thought they did well.

Kaia Gerber played Kendall Carr. I have to say, it was not my favorite role of hers. It could have been better.

Nico Greetham also joined. His role was a bit forgettable, but he was there. I don't want to be too hard on him, though.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Okay, here's my hot take. "Death Valley" wasn't terrible. It was just... weird. Like, really, really weird.

The split timeline didn't help. Neither did the plot holes you could drive a spaceship through. Yet, there was something strangely captivating about it all.

Maybe it's the campy charm. Maybe it's the sheer audacity of the story. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for aliens in bad wigs. Who knows?

Final Verdict

The cast of "Death Valley" did what they could with the material. Some thrived, some survived, and some probably wish they could forget it ever happened.

Would I rewatch it? Probably not anytime soon. But I wouldn't say I regret watching it. It was an experience, to say the least!

So, to the cast of "Death Valley," thank you for the… memories? Whether good, bad, or just plain bizarre, you gave us something to talk about. And in the world of AHS, isn't that the point?
