I feel like I would like Legion's plot a lot more if Stranger Things hadn't come out before it, because they're both about the same thing (a powerful psychic who has been damaged by being institutionalized and experimented on accidentally makes contact with a malevolent force from another world, seeks to understand and stop it with the help of new friends) but ST respected the intelligence of the characters and audience by showing its hand fairly quickly while Legion is still acting like its some big reveal to build toward and still has people who are supppsed to be genius experts in supernatural phenoma be struggling with something the audience figured out two episodes in. Also tuliphead was actually creepy, a fat goth with a killer goiter notsomuch.

Snak, Have you not watched any Magicians yet? You should rectify that ASAP.

I might check it out. Nothing I've heard about it really seemed interesting to me... LEGION is loving terrifying. Like, creeping the poo poo out of me. Like, pulling my quilt up around my shoulders loving scary.

Literally probably what's gonna happen tonight. Edit: what fuckin' year is Legion supposed to take place in? Cause at first it seemed pretty modern, but it seems to take place in the 70s? Snak fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Mar 17, 2017 |

It takes place in the year it takes place in. Or, possibly, it doesn't. Can't really say.

Well the say they one lady's husband inherited the place in the forties and built the facility 30 years ago. Everyone dresses like the 70s. Payphones, no cell phones. Oscilloscopes, tape recorders. I'm gonna assume it's supposed to take place in the ballpark of the 70s, and that the G36s used by the commandos are anachronistic.

Explain the touch screen computers then Mr Smartpants. Or the flat screen HDTVs. It takes place at the same time as Archer. They're both on FX after all. Don't think about it.

Oh, I don't think I've seen any of those. Hmm. Like, I would have accepted that exact explanation, until they started mentioning dates in the story.

Oh yep, I just saw a tablet. Okay, well, I guess I can stop worrying about the G36s then. I really like this show so far. Reminds me of Hannibal.

It's not good. But it's not quite as bad as you're assuming. Mostly just kinda boring so far.

I finished American Crime Story. I never thought I would have said it at the start but David Schwimmer was outstanding, he turned out being the emotional heart of the show. He played Rob's slow loss of faith in OJ so well. I want to give him a hug

American Crime Story is so good and if you wanna be bummed then I must inform you that the non-Ryan Murphy showrunners aren't returning for the next season.

Arist posted:American Crime Story is so good and if you wanna be bummed then I must inform you that the non-Ryan Murphy showrunners aren't returning for the next season. I think it's utterly insane how much FX are investing in Murphy. They've cast the following two seasons of American Crime Story already, both to air next year, with a fourth already planned. There's also Feud, currently airing, the upcoming "election themed" season of American Horror Story, and his new 80's-set glitterazi thing they just announced. He's not a good writer, he's shocking (in both senses) and capable of some deeply sentimental tracts. So, yeah, he can make you cry, or provide enough salaciousness early on to suggest the show's he'll produce will be good, but after that his creative toolbox is empty. Unless you want a story about pregnancy and blended families, with a dash of Down's Syndrome -- AKA, the first season of pretty much everything he's ever written[*] -- he's useless. At the end of the day, he's a bullshit artist and not a creative artist. Give the shows to the people he's shepherding through, like Tim Minear or James Wong or whoever. Or, at the very least, give them the credit. [*}Popular, Glee, American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck, The New Normal, even that cancelled Pretty/Handsome pilot -- like, I'm really not exaggerating here.

Tim Minear is running FEUD and it's real good so far. But I mostly agree with your post. There's already at least a second season of FEUD planned and maybe even a third
