Legion

I'm confused.

Remember, the latest big reveal is that there is no female Lenny, but rather a male Benny.

So.... was Syd actually in the Clockworks psychiatric hospital? Did Syd actually touch David and switch places with him inside Clockworks way back in episode one? The reason I ask is that while Syd was inside Clockworks, clearly she saw and interacted with the female Lenny several times... she didn't see a male named Benny!

So is the entire Clockworks experience phony? (there is no Clockworks hospital?)... including David's former Clockworks therapist who is now supposedly imprisoned in a cell next to David's sister, Amy? Does Amy even exist? We know that King the dog didn't exist... so perhaps Amy is not real either?

This show is driving me crazy!... I like what I'm watching.... I just don't know what the hell it is!

Wow... Legion actress Amber Midthunder (warrior Kerry) looks very young, and can pass as a teenager, but she is actually 26.

Amber Midthunder is actually older than actress Rachel Keller (Syd), who is 24.

so I am a little pissed about them sending that Kerry chick with them as protection when it is clear she doesn't have any real powers outside of the fact that she lives inside that dude Kerry, who is WAY more important that the warrior mode. So they send this powerless chick who gets killed and, in turn, the other Kerry dies. Too big of a loss there. Why wouldn't they send that dude who can throw other dudes with his mind? That would have been a much better idea.

Perhaps Kerry & Cary are not dead? Kerry got shot at the end of episode 4, and we then saw Cary collapse to the ground back at the Summerland mutant complex. But, we don't know the extent of the wound. I would think tonight in episode 5 we will find out if Kerry & Cary are still alive.

Also, if you look at the IMDb pages of actor Bill Irwin (Cary), and actress Amber Midthunder (Kerry), they are both listed as appearing in all 8 episodes of Season One... of course, those appearances could possibly be flashback memories.

If you wanna get technical, it was a shoulder wound...I wouldn't want anything to touch those midthunders!

Who's ready, mofo's???

 

[MilkSpiller22]

all i can say is WOW... possibly some WHAT??

surprised, but think i liked, how scary tonights episode was...

 

[wildturkey]

That episode was creepy AF. Legion just might be the best horror show out there.

 

[Innermind]

For lack of a better term, I would say that the entity/monster living inside David is some type of demon....

.... Yikes!

Very creepy.

 

[Omar 382]

Thought it was a rather weak episode... probably the weakest one yet. Just my opinion

regardless, it seems like a poorly planned mission to send such a relatively weak mutant to protect them when you have an army chasing you, especially since that weak mutant has a direct life tie to an important scientist in your compound.

Nice hindquarters.

 

[calsnowskier]

That was an AMAZING episode. I loved it.

And if Plaza does not get at least an Emmy nomination, the fix is in. She absolutely steels every scene she is in.

 

[calsnowskier]

Has anyone else noticed the huge "X" window in the leaders office?

I suspect it is just an Easter egg, but will it end up being more? Will this group end up being some kind of satalite outpost of the X-Men?

 

[Sparhawk]

Best show on TV for me.
Keeps you guessing, great acting, and enough eccentricity (love Jermaine Clement) to make it work.

You can easily google Legion and see where he fits into the Marvel X-Men universe.
I'm hoping the show takes a different kind of path, like GOT did with their source material.

If David can hear everything around him, including the thoughts of others, and possibly know everything, then he would need alternate personalities to help him function. The personality that controls his powers may be linked to the parasite/Lenny. Not sure if these are two distinct entities or one in the same. It could just be his mind playing tricks on him to help him control those powers.

So many ways they can go with this. Fascinating storytelling.

3/15: Legion (FX) renewed for a 2nd season.

 

[wildturkey]

Aubrey Plaza in tonight's episode...

 

[Comeds]

Aubrey Plaza in tonight's episode...

Yeah, kind of hot and she is really doing a great job. That has got to be a great time for her, at least it looks like it would be.
Still a fantastic show.

 

[Omar 382]

Eh, weak last episode, but I will echo any sentiment about Plaza's hotness

 

[calsnowskier]

I understand that they have to make these episodes as fucked up as possible since they take place in Davids head, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

I liked the little daddy teaser, though...
