That was a fantastic episode.
Aubrey is just amazing on this show. She's been killing it.

This show is as insane as David is and I love it.

I'd say that was my favorite episode of this show so far. Things have finally started moving forward. Two nights in a row with an FX show having scenes with prolonged silence hehe
I think OG Lenny was real (she never acted manipulative in the first ep) but the parasite took her form after Syd accidentally killed her.

Yo, wtf lol.
Good episode.
Good episode.
That's what I'm thinking, too.
Seems like it has taken the form of multiple people/dog throughout David's life. Lenny is just the newest, it probably picked her since he has a friendly relationship with her, easier to not attract attention towards itself and still be able to fuck with David.

I like how they used Lenny making out with him as an excuse to puff David's hair up for that scene when everyone burst into the room.

I just want to say that I love this show. It's one of the craziest, most creative things I've ever seen on television.

This show is so damn good.
I do hope that red door didn't smack an innocent bystander a mile away, though.

this scene from episode 4 was so damn good. and this last episode (5) was probably the best one yet. loved the ending too, the next episode with all of them (their minds?) being trapped there should be fun.
Noah Hawley delivering a great show as expected. I don't mind them taking things slowly since I'm enjoying the direction and the visuals so much.
also, kudos to Aubrey Plaza for the stellar performance so far.
but yes, nothing beats spazlore forcing girls to shower with him. and if they refuse, IF THEY DARE REFUSE the alpha elf ex-300 lbs champion deformed ears male that he is, they'll be treated like shit because how dare you, silly girl, refuse my beautiful elf-like face.
amusing part: how long until the nerd alpha himself will find out these editings? 1 week? 1 month? Never? Stay tuned.

Funnily enough Noah Hawley showed a lot of Rachel Keller's butt in the last season of Fargo and we see a bunch of booty in the Americans.
Someone at FX must just like ass.
I guess to compete with HBO's Ceo of tits Fx decide to counter with a CEO of ass.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
That dude plays a mute in everything. I thought it was funny he couldn't talk
Could be. Though the parasite didn't need to be as manipulative then because David was unaware and the parasite had free reign.
I really liked how David had some of Lenny's mannerisms in the security cam footage when he was confident and attacking division 3 or whatever they are called.

Incredible episode.

The scene where David is playing the instrument, and Syd closes the bathroom door. Holy fuck that was one of the most disconcerting scenes I've experienced without it being outwardly obvious. That sense of dread was real.

This show, man... Damn. Can't wait for next week.
Right? It was so unsettling to just have a cute little dog staring back as she closes the door.

Isn't that the song from the muppet movie? I was terrified lol.

Like any wrong move on her part could set it off
Yeah, Rainbow Connection. Good move on their part for using such a innocent song for that scene.
And from one article ive read, I'm happy to see I'm not the only one that got Twin Peaks vibes from this episode. Especially when Syd is being pursued by the Shadow King.
It seems like there are people watching this that are unfamiliar with Legion in the comics. I'm not sure what angle the show is going to take as far as the "parasite" and how the Angry Boy plays into it, but they seem like red herrings to me.
The entire premise of the Legion character is that he's a mutant that has the powers of thousands of other mutants in his mind, giving him basically every power. Everyone is saying that all of these personalities in the show are just constructs of the parasite, but they (as well as the parasite itself and all of David's team, including Syd) could just as easily be David's personalities. I think the final scene with them all in therapy hinted at this pretty strongly.
Of course the nature of the character means they can take it pretty much anywhere they want. He's basically his own built-in deus ex machina.

Wish they hadn't blown their entire budget on these 2 shots and saved a bit for turtleneck dude's telekinesis, but at least those 2 shots were rad.

If that comes to be true about Syd, it'll be exceptionally tragic that he went to that length to create a being that empathises with him. It fits too, a dark and light aspect with the Shadow King and Syd.

I think Syd is dead. She was killed by those bullets in this episode. David took her mind to their special place to save her, and then the parasite took everyone into a version of the mental hospital (still inside David's mind).

I mean its totally possible that she's one of his personalities that he literally split off of himself into corporeal form, like Onslaught or something. Literally a pure psionic entity that David split off due to whatever reason (or unintentionally).
Exactly. Maybe once SK sunk his clutches into David more firmly at Sunnydale after the incident, David subconsciously split off the most light part of him to protect it?
I feel like either way they definitely want people to wonder whether Syd is real or not.
Also, this entire episode was tragic, horrifying, and mind warping. In the beginning David is completely killing it with the unsettling attitude. Then SK is finally unleashed, and we have an amazing Metal Gear Solid walking moment walking past his destruction and seeing his aftermath. Then finally the confrontation in the house, the silence, the multiple threads (Longshot? acting as telekentic guy?, Syd chasing after David, David tormenting Amy, the others moving throughout silently, the distortion). And then the finally. Obviously a trick, but the show is just so crazy it dares you to think they were playing with us the whole time.
Finest show on tv right now.
Agree and disagree. I think they're doing exactly what you're talking about with Syd. She's the first of many. The scenes with him being screamed at by hundreds of surrounding people are more to this. But I think the show is making it clear that Lenny/King the dog, are Shadow King.
What would be interesting is if those are all pieces of him, there is only one shadow king, and he has been corrupting/commandeering David's own personalities for his own use to slowly gain more and more power within him. So maybe Lenny/King/The Boy/etc ARE all David, but they have now been taken over by SK.

I think David saved Syd from the parasite by making the hospital at the end. He was doing his mental break down scream which is when he uses his powers.

Holy shit this past episode was awesome. The whole series has been incredible so far.
Aubrey Plaza is absolutely on one in this show, crazy to see her going from Parks and Rec to this.

This I find likely given how it mentioned which ones it preferred. Almost as if they're not it's creations.
That scene scared the fuck out of me. Legion, please don't ruin dogs for me
Not a good boy.
