This is easily one of the best shows out there. Are there any other tv shows out there that are more experimental with visual storytelling? I've already seen Hannibal and Mr Robot.

The Knick is the best directed show ever made. Might be slight hyperbole, but Soderbergh killed it.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Utopia is pretty great, shame there were only two seasons.

 

[TheOddOne]

Season finale today:

Season 1: episode 8 "Chapter 8"

Spoiler

David faces his biggest challenge yet.

- Promo for this week's episode.
- ICYMI: ‘Legion’ Renewed by FX for Season 2.

 

[Mossybrew]

Man her action scenes are cringe worthy lol. The only big thing I dislike in this series. Whenever they try to make her a badass

Hah. Just finished episode 4 last night and yeah, this is the one thing in the show that has really brought me out of the experience.

 

[BlackGhost]

I'm all caught up.

Who was the guy in the wheelchair / the guy found stabbed in the closet in the real world? Maybe this is a consequence of not keeping up week to week, but I've completely forgotten who this person is and what their situation was. :lol

Rudy I think is his name. The guy with telekinesis that throws things.

yeah all caught up now, was a little confused who he was too.

watching live tonight

 

[Grazzt]

Can't wait. The finale is going to be insane.

 

[water_wendi]

i like how just how the scenes where David comes across strongest are so simple. Just the scenes in the last episode where the lighting is changed and horn blasts give off a sense of power that Magneto moving the Golden Gate could never even come close to.

 

[Kayhan]

Just popping in to say that I am two episodes in and loving the show so far.

A breath of fresh air for the TV superhero shows.

 

[j_rocca42]

Can't watch the finale until tomorrow. Time to bail on this thread for 24hrs!!!

 

[DangerMouse]

Hah. Just finished episode 4 last night and yeah, this is the one thing in the show that has really brought me out of the experience.

Yeah, it's the one thing that most obviously needs work (that fight against those goons was a mess). They definitely need to take more time filming the fight scenes or hiring a new fight choreographer for season 2 (no idea who it is now) or whatever is needed to address the problem.

I like her character and her dynamic with Cary quite a bit, so she deserves better fights as the supposed fighter/badass of the group, if the actress/stunt double can do them.

Can't wait to watch the season finale!

With you 100%. i liked the whole montage idea, how it was shot, he character.. when she was like "All day long its been talk, talk, talk" i got excited. im expecting she will get her moment with a larger budget for S2. im just guessing on the budget thing because it was renewed so early.

What time does this show air, and on which channel— FXM, FAX, or FXX?

Nice. Going all in with Pink Floyd. Very fitting.

Syd is pissing me off.

Ok...Maybe she gets a pass...

 

[hydruxo]

Oh shit

 

[The Elite]

My head is full of fuck.

 

[Epcott]

That's it? Sly bastard lol... left that place a wreck and strolled away singing.

 

[-griffy-]

I believe there's a mid credits scene, so don't bail before that.

 

[DangerMouse]

Just gotta wait 10 more mins before I can watch!

I believe there's a mid credits scene, so don't bail before that.

Cool

 

[Khansolo1]

Holy crap, that was insane!

 

[Sean C]

Um, if the government had that technology, why were they wasting time with all that other shit?

 

[hydruxo]

UMMM WHAT

 

[Jinfash]

Hmmm. Not as exciting of a finale as I was expecting.

 

[Epcott]

Best comic/tv adaption IMO. What a ride! I definitely look forward to a rewatch.

Oh dear Lord. If that happens. If that happens!!?? You know what? I'm going to put my hype deep in a coffin within the astral plane.

Not sure what I was expecting for a finale, not sure what I watched either.

 

[Burt]

Hmmm. Not as exciting of a finale as I was expecting.

I agree that it didn't spike my heartrate like some of the other episodes, but I found it very satisfying.

Hawley wasn't lying when he said that the season was a self-contained story that could stand on its own. Everything

Spoiler

outside of that random-ass post credits scene

hit that balance of tying up loose ends and having a clear path forward. Looking back, it's kind of Game of Thronesey in the pentultimate episode being maximum insanity and the finale being more resolution-based.

TVLine: Legion Boss on the Finale's Post-Credits 'Tease,' David's Famous Dad and What's in Store for Season 2

According to Hawley, Season 2 will likely expand to ten episodes and

Spoiler

Jemaine Clement will play a prominent role + S2 will focus on David vs. Shadow King in Oliver's body.

 

[TWrecks310]

The hell was that credits scene.

Good finale, and an awesome first season.

 

[uncblue]

Pretty underwhelming finale. And what the hell is the point of a post credit scene if no one has any clue what it means.

 

[Stinkles]

So should I watch this?

 

[Burt]

So should I watch this?

yes

 

[big ander]

I kinda don't get how that worked, expelling farouk. We start out with David's body holding David and Farouk. Syd swaps, so I'd think it'd be david and farouk in Syd, Syd in david. But it seemed like it was just Farouk. Then Farouk-Syd touches Kerry, so we finally have Farouk's mind in Kerry's body, Kerry's mind in Syd's body, Syd's mind in David's body. and david's mind...I would think also in Kerry's body but possibly still in Syd's or in his. But Farouk-in-Kerry apparently has Farouk's powers still. and right away David's mind got back into his own body? I dunno that all felt muddled.

 

[King Tubby]

I'm not a comics fan in the least and this is one of my favorite shows of the past couple years. Hawley is awesome.

 

[Deadly]

What the fuck was the post-credits scene? Finale was abit underwhelming. Thought it was obvious he would go to Oliver since he's the only other telepath.

 

[JustinT]

...I didn't realize this was the finale until I read it in this thread. Was super excited for next weeks episode haha

I think what happened was the only way Farouk would leave is willfully and it did it by the activation of Syd's power. So instead of swapping bodies with David+Farouk, Farouk just started hopping bodies. David stayed in his own body and Farouk ended up in Kerry's.

 

[Jay Shadow]

What the fuck was the post-credits scene?

You might remember

Spoiler

one of the Division 3 observers saying to deploy "The Equinox" at one point in the episode.

There's a pretty good chance that was it.

Interesting. David just can't catch a break. Although I think with his powers he should have been able to break out still. I also wonder if we're going to see the aspect of multiple personalities.

Also does the burned guy represent someone in the comics?

 

[DangerMouse]

Yeah, LOL, he really can't catch a break, heh.
Good finale, it didn't seem to go for the pulse-pounding of last ep but there was a lot of satisfying stuff in there to finish off an awesome season. Also, especially enjoyed all of the David finally in control scenes throughout the episode, quite satisfying.

They actually also did a pretty nice job mixing things up on that burned guy within a single episode. It getting away in Oliver (yeah, he was kind of obvious) and while Melanie was still unconscious too, ouch.

That was a pretty literal last minute cliffhanger, WTF lol. Though I suppose it did do its job.
David's "Oh what the fuck?" was perfect.

Also ROFL at Carry trying to have that talk with Kerry in front of the burned guy LOL. I also gotta laugh that the cane having the camera both somehow never got checked or got by them so those guys were watching the whole time and yet that potentially has unintentionally helped them without them realizing it lol.

Kerry's got a little bit of Jubilee going on with that blue outfit and brown but yellow-ish coat in this ep.

With you 100%. i liked the whole montage idea, how it was shot, he character.. when she was like "All day long its been talk, talk, talk" i got excited. im expecting she will get her moment with a larger budget for S2. im just guessing on the budget thing because it was renewed so early.

Yeah, the set up for that fight scene was great. Yeah, hopefully, I quite like her character.
