AHS Fans Felt The Name Game Scene In Asylum Was A Breath Of Fresh Air – Looper

There are plenty of “AHS: Asylum” moments that brought fans to tears, but it’s still hard to watch Jude fade away right after finding inner peace and redemption. Before her death, she endured many of the treatments she forced on Briarcliff patients. However, in the middle of these harrowing events, we get a scene that’s full of bright colors and boisterous dancing, a sharp contrast to what it actually represents: the slow decline of Jude’s mental state. Even though it’s not real, fans loved this scene because it showed the characters experiencing joy for the first time all season.

“Honestly, I loved this scene. It was refreshing to see these characters actually smile and have fun, even if it was just a vision/daydream. I bet the actors had a blast filming this,” said YouTube user @eremikahaven4796. Not many characters get a traditionally happy ending on “AHS: Asylum,” so this scene was a nice addition. “This was such a dark season but this scene was truly adorable,” wrote user @bushybrow8331. 

Viewers also enjoyed the scene’s symbolism within the overall narrative. “This was the only moment with real happiness in the entire story,” commented user @davider3590. “Very sad and very poetic.️”

After the music fades away, reality crashes down on Jude and she’s left stranded at the asylum until Kit Walker (Evan Peters) rescues her. Thankfully, the true story behind the musical episode is much less serious.
