Seeing Aubery Plaza straddle and lick a guy while those horrible slobbering noises were playing is, perhaps, the most conflicted Iv'e felt my entire life.

When they got to the house and onward it was insane. Loving this still.

Loved this. This episode was so fucking good, and incredibly unsettling throughout. Right from the start of it I could tell that was way too confident to actually be David. Does that mean Syd had sex with the parasite? It's a terrifying thought. The silent sequence was amazing, and it's funny how an X-Men show is one of the best horror tv shows on the air.
Shoutout for playing Daily Mail by Radiohead. Fits this show so well. "The lunatics have taken over the asylum, waiting on a rapture."
Soo good
Amazing episode, BTW the guy who shoot David was the villain who took the body from the real one?
Still have no idea was his power is
xd
Yeah that was The Eye. He can shapeshift apparently (he did it in ep 4 when he was disguised as David's old psychatrist). Not sure the extent of his powers other than that though.

Just saw the last episode. Goddamn I love this show. So bonkers.
Going back to the time period convo, we got a solid number on how long Miriam's husband has been under (21 years) so now I'm even more confused lol. I guess it's the early 80s? Doesn't really matter to me honestly, I'm just kind of fascinated by it.

Won't judge this show until the very end. This IS Legion, so....
Yeah I was puzzled about that too. Was definitely Kissinger, he was acting a bit strangely but can't really blame him for that after being imprisoned by D3.

I presumed it was because he might have been The Eye.
You know how sometimes when horror films show the monster in bright lights it becomes way less terrifying?
That did NOT happen here holy shit. This Shadow King design is one of the most unsettling creature designs I've ever seen. The fact that it works in both darkness as well as in just broad daylight and still be effectively creepy is incredible.

Agreed. That thing is freaky as fuck.
Show is still consistently good, I just wonder if it would have been better on a streaming service where you could binge and not have to wait for answers.
The hospital seems like a maze Syd is supposed to figure out. The Eye being there with them is also weird as hell. Still don't really know what his other powers are.

Oh yeah. I wonder if he was always the eye.

Last episode was amazing. Looks like the entity being Shadow King is heavily implied at this point. Loved the double cliff hangers we got, seeing what happened after the eye tries to shoot David and then what happens after David transports everyone back to Clockworks after the Shadow King tries to attack Syd.
Guess next episode is mostly centered on them trying to break out of David's mind again, wouldn't be surprised if what happens in the house isn't picked up again till episode 7.
I think the Eye is actually a psychic like David. I don't believe he physically shapeshifts as much as he psychically masks his identity. Would also explain how he could sense David and Syd when they where watching his sister being questioned and why he seems so brazen when it comes to taking David head on.

The doctor was The Eye.
That makes a lot of sense. Not that leaving him in there helped much since he followed them anyway.

What I don´t get is Syd trying to save them from bullets by asking David to bring them to the White Room. It was clearly established in the last episode about the Astral Plane and in this episode when the Room is first show that their minds go to that place, that is David messing with the electrical impulses from their brains, their bodies stayed where they were. It was clearly show in the White Room, while David and Syd were there, their bodies are showed by the lake.
And David is a powerful Telekinetic que explodes people by looking at them, should have been easier just to get rid of the bullets.

Maybe time outside of the white room moves slowly? To buy them time. Ita crazy the amount of shit happened in the last few minutes.
And I think Syd probably touched David when she was trying to shield him. If so, who would get hit by the bullets?

Looks like Patrick Stewart is open to showing up as Professor X in Legion.

It'll be pretty funny if they try to take a decade or so off of him after trying to make him look old as fuck in Logan.
I also wonder if Stevens will get in trouble for stating the connection between the two characters outright. Anyone who knows the comic history of the character or seen his wiki page knows about it but it seems like the show is being a lot less forthcoming about it than I thought it would be.
Probably because Noah thinks there's more interesting things to explore than who is David's daddy but I worry the show might be trying to set it up as a lame twist.

Yeah, but that's kinda like when they put Clark Gregg on Kimmel with the Avengers cast and they're like "oh, sure we'd be on Shield...". Just awkward if you say no.
I've seen it mentioned by cast members enough times unprompted that I assume it's a part of their press notes on what they're allowed to say. Name dropping an X-Men character's name to try and get the casuals.
Like you said, I don't know if it'll ever factor into the actual show since they have much more to deal with.

Finally catching up with this week. This is what the show needs to be. I felt they've spun their wheels and been too vague the last few episodes, but this felt really good.

I feel like the last two episodes existed as adequate build up. They could have easily dragged that shit for a good 10 or more episodes without really explaining anything, conversely without those episodes the reveals in this episode would have almost no weight. It's a good everything clicks into place though I'm not sure exactly how that doctor dude managed to figure out so much with the evidence given. Felt almost like the writers speaking to the viewers than something someone would neccessary figure out with that set of information.

Man it would be awesome to see Patrick Stewart in Legion.
Well last episode was fantastic. Finally things moving forward. I love the whole he's so dangerously powerful that even the good guys are always at risk. It'd be like if people around superman were afraid he might vaporize them in any second.
Last episode pretty much confirmed that everyone around legion has been real so far, including the other telekinesis guy. I'm glad about that. Edit: I guess syd is still a question but that elaborate backstory of her switching places with her mom puts me in Team Real for now
And I guess legions personalities actually become visible to other people? And didn't syd say she killed her when they switched bodies in episode 1? I wonder if she actually just suppressed her, and then she (parasite) just came back

Evil David is scary as fuck
That'd be amazing (and probably pretty weird to watch).
I'm also pretty amazed how openly Stevens talks about the connection. Probably means that they're not going to bring that up. I mean, if they were planning some sort of reveal, Stevens would never, ever be allowed to say stuff like that on talk shows.

Wow I fucking loved that episode. The strongest of the series for me
The silence was both creepy and very well executed. Such a cool scene, Aubrey Plaza is actually pretty scary as well.
And of course the angry boy and shadow king are freaky as shit too. Hell, even the security footage of David disintegtrating the soldiers was a bit unsettling, the way he cheerfully took it all in stride made him look like some mischievous demon
The xmen franchise is absurdly good this year. Best comic movie in years and now the best comic tv show. Is anybody reminded of that twilight zone episode where the kid has the power of God and has his family hostage in fear of what he'll do to them? (It's a Good Life). That's what this show reminds me of right now

She could still exist (as a random patient in the menal hospital) and the Shadow King merely coopted her existence or it could have been the shdow king all along the way it's built so far with the illusions sometimes being visible it could go either way. It's bit hazy though as noone has ever seen the dog in real life (His sister said they didn't even have a dog) and that's why theirs no picks of said dog. Everything to do with the angry boy so far seems to be fake and implanted but there's a reasonable chance of big revelaton about that. Yellow eyed seems to be the closest thing to the shadow kings true form and it seems to be the one david's most aware of and maybe afraid of.

Best episode so far, absolutely brilliant!
One question, what is the Eye (the baddie that is following them) ability?

I'd totally be down for Stewart having a brief cameo, maybe giving David the push he needs to conquer The Shadow King.
Hasn't Noah Hawley brought up the possibility of Professor X in interviews?
Jesus fuck im watching the first episode right now and this is the legit shit. And now im researching and its part of X-Men? What? And the creator of Fargo made it? I mean it all makes sense in a weird way. But I have no idea about any of the story. Like, is this the Marvel Fox universe like with Logan and X-Men or is it connected to the Disney Marvel universe now? And what shows on TV actually feature this particular Marvel universe?
But hot damn this show is some quality stuff so far.
edit; well did more research, should be interesting to see where this all goes. Love the concept though.
