I bet it's her mom, it looks like she can actually touch her, and she was one of the few people who actually cared about Syd.

I usually watch this later in the week, but I happened to be free tonight, so I decided to watch it live. I think I prefer on demand.

I'm a little mad at the show for using this burning down the house cover as end credits music. It was a total filler episode, and I don't care.

Rewatched episode 3 and I wonder if Fukyama isn't Professor X. He kind of offers a flimsy dodge when he says "another crisis then another" like the Shadow King just happens every day and the Monk calls him on it.

Ultra late title cards are kinda my thing. This episode ruled. Totally ready for this thing to kick into overdrive now but i would also settle with more high concept, beautifully shot and executed television.

I doubt I'll forget that detail again. I think the problem was that I binged a bunch of episodes, so I didn't take in everything as well as I would watching them one or two at a time. (This show is much better watched slowly.)

It's hard to square "love makes you weak, buckle up princess" Syd with "He's my man" Syd that's been presented thus far unless she's just cynically staying close to the biggest heavy in the room.

Her point is that love is precious but vulnerable and a vulnerability, not that it's worthless.

Syd is desperate for love but cynical and scarred enough to know what to not give up for it, even when she knows that David is genuinely her only chance at ever having a physical connection with someone. When she says David's her man (her magic man), it's honest and with no metaphor; he's the one for her. The issue has been, of course, that despite David fawning over her and her being genuinely up for whatever he does, their relationship is extremely basic from what we've seen on screen. There's been room for a lot of time for them to have been together off-screen (whether that's at the mental hospital, at the mutant retreat, or in their white room), but it definitely seems to be the case that this latest episode is the first time they've really had a deep conversation about how she really feels (especially since David was putting forward some very basic readings of her whole deal at the start of the episode). I honestly don't really know if it's a bad thing or if it's a genuine representation of how their relationship has been, and if it is actually "we're made for each other and should be together, let's work together to actually justify that" it's a really neat take on a relationship that I haven't really seen anywhere else

That was one of my favorite episodes of television ever. It was like a Rosetta Stone for understanding what Legion is really about.

all I can think is that Syd wasn't wearing orange in that white space scene. Which may be bad, may be good, i donno with this show.

Their relationship was presented as rather superficial in the first season, so I think you're right that this does help me understand the appeal for Syd.

The late title cards totally got me because when I watch Legion, I lose all track of time. Also, Amber Midthunder is awesome.
