Also, add this to the list of things I'm still bothered by: At the beginning of the season, Syd is able to use telepathy and they seem to strongly want you to know that she likes switching places with a cat. None of this ever means anything for the rest of the season. ... unless the show is trying to say that she is a cat and Farouk is a mouse?

Syd experimenting with her powers is in contrast to her doing everything possible to avoid them in the first season and basically treating her condition like a curse.

DaveKap posted:gently caress me for forgetting this poo poo literally 1 week later. I admit, I am a terrible TV watcher! (And I need to binge this poo poo instead.) Ehh, I wasn't even really clear what the tuning fork was doing on first watch. It shows Lenny shooting it, bullet hits, then David breaks out of the ropes that were wrapping him up. I thought the bullet hitting the thing instantly weakened Farouk allowing David to escape the binds but then the wave hit them and they both got knocked down. So David just broke free on his own and the tuning fork didnt really have anything to do with that part but it confused me a bit

Yeah, it was a weird editing decision for sure. I thought the same thing until they explicitly made it clear when the sound wave hit them both.

If they had a tuning fork that can disable people like Farouk and David I'm not sure why Division 3 was so scared of them Just hit the fork man

He managed to break partly free, not all the way. Without the fork he'd probably just have ended up still struggling against Farouk.

The scene def. was confusing but I read it as David seeing his plan come together and that knowledge giving him a strength/confidence boost, which allowed him to break free. Then the soundwave actually hits and both of their powers are disabled.

SimonChris posted:Forget about the fork, if they are destined to invent Legion-entrapping pokeballs in the near future, why don't they just use those? Why is future Syd so afraid of David if they have the technology to trap him at any time? They did use one, in fact they outright tell you that the cage they hold him in in the final episode is based on the same tech. Then he busted out of it.

But now that he's gone full Legion on them, there's no way it would work.

They literally showed us and told us what the choke did in the penultimate episode when the moustache bots carried it into position. The show: "This tuning fork thing is called the choke and it nullifies powers" Next week, goons: "Why were they so unclear in what the tuning fork thing does?"

Good show, good season but I feel the 11th episode was necessary. I would have been all "...what!?" without it.

Man I really liked that finale. That fight was amazing. And I like that David and Farouk are basically a pair of incredibly powerful assholes and it's a balance between who is more dangerous at any time. Oliver and Melanie trying to remember things was great too. Science McGlassesface or whatever, "the girl who kicked everyone" e:Glasses McLabcoat, that was it Anyway, quite liked that season but it felt like it was just kicking its heels at times and there's definitely some filler feeling bits. The good bits were brilliant though

I haven't seen season 1 but I still really enjoyed this season and I'm looking forward to season 3, I thought the finale was very good. Is Farouk calling himself the Shadow King or is the Shadow King calling himself Farouk?

Is Farouk calling himself the Shadow King or is the Shadow King calling himself Farouk? That's actually a pretty good question. If we're speculating based on comics lore, then it might be the latter. Based solely on what the show has told us, the former. (But on the other hand he's also been established as someone who lives and breathes false identities, so...)

I. Uh. I think I rewatched the season finale intro like fourteen times. It might just be the greatest piece of television ever. Season two was good. I'm glad I waited until I could binge the whole thing though or I would've been annoyed at the slow pace.

It’s probably not to everyone’s liking. But I’ve followed David and Farouk for two whole seasons and it’s just amazing that I had chills from the start to the finish when they had their first real confrontation. And the callback to the sword in the stone (?) is great since that is something I still go back and watch for its brilliance. Ahh. I’m gushing. But I just don’t have anyone to watch these shows with so you’ll have to bear it.

I'm torn. On the one hand the combat scene is a great one to show my friends how awesome legion can be, while at the same time it'd set unrealistic expectations. What'd make a good tastemaker scene to show the uninitiated? One of the Hamm monologues maybe ("this will make you vomit")?

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:Just have them watch the first episode. Definitely this. Quite often a series premiere will have a "feeling it out" sense to it, where the writers, showrunner, and actors are in the process of figuring out just what the show is. Legion has the most confident premiere I've ever seen. It feels like a show that been around for years, completely certain in what it's about and how it goes about its business. Anyone watching the first episode will know 100% if they'll like the rest of the series.

Gosh there's a ton of great stills from the fight. And it all flows together in a way you can follow. And it's not all dinosaurs and sharks and planes. David bringing out a Cthulhu and then Farouk busting out a Syd might not be the most flashy bit but it's definitely effective. Then actual Syd throws him off the second time Thanks for that video, think I might have to screen grab a few things

regulargonzalez posted:Anyone watching the first episode will know 100% if they'll like the rest of the series. Not necessarily. I thought the first episode was genuinely awful and only ended up sticking with it long enough for Aubrey Plaza and Jermaine Clement to eventually win me over because all my friends told me it got better later on. That was actually the consensus among my TV-watching circle, that the show has a terrible pilot but finds its feet quickly afterwards.

I thought it was cool that he got aggressive and brought out the creepy monster and finally started winning, then got sidetracked by the clever distraction a second later. "It's a muscle, the big grey meat. You gotta work it out, get it stronger." It's such a cool way to portray mind battles.
