Yeah, the Time Eaters are on Farouk's side now since they're afraid of David and need a way to stop him. The Time Eaters surrounded Farouk, broke the frame, and now Farouk's out and in a position where he can stop David and Chuck.

That daddy poo poo was creepy so creepy. One interesting thing is that with the subtitles on, each David had a different name, like Divad, DVD, and I think there may have been some others.

It would be a bit of an anticlimax, but I could see the Moroccan showdown ending in a stalemate like before and Syd saving the world by ensuring David grows up loved.

Brilliant, thanks for sharing. I definitely loved the use of that song as a David's telepathic defense. I'm curious if the people shown in David's head are actual minds like the ones trapped inside that girl Xavier reads. Another great episode, a lot to wrap up but I'm keeping faith that they'll stick the landing. I really liked Charles challenging David on his objectification of Switch. Poor Switch, I hope she gets a good resolution. I thought New Syd chopping wood was a great way to build on Oliver and Melanie having her build the stone wall so she would know how to work hard.

Something was missing for me in this episode, I think it was a little too straight forward. Still enjoyed it and seeing Farouk's actor in a different way was fantastic.

When Switch asked for help from "teacher," I wondered if she was referring to Charles, and if she's actually a future student from the Xavier School.

So did Farouk take peoples minds and shove them in that monkey and little girl? I wonder if that is something that increases his power or he just likes keeping them around to torture them.

I could be way off but my feeling is that the guy on the tape is her father who is also her teacher and who is the 'daddy' she's asking for help from (I don't get the sense that she's bought into David's daddy shtick, that final scene of her crying out for help doesn't seem cast in his direction). Perhaps he's a super omega time traveller and will intervene in some minor way, hopefully to extract Switch from danger and give her a minor scalding for assisting lunatics.

Maybe I missed something in the show, but there doesn't seem to be a mystery to future syd and the orb for me. I see people wondering about it all the time, but like, I'm pretty sure the orb and future syd did just come from the future, just not the future that was depicted in the show. It was the future where David killed Farouk in that battle. That didn't happen, therefore future syd won't happen, they altered the course of history.

Something I realized, maybe it won't matter The Farouk that goes into baby David doesn't wear Jovial Farouk's clothes, it's Effortlessly Cool Farouk. Maybe it's an oversight, or they didn't have Past Farouk's look down, or Farouk changes his clothes when he travels but hm.

Because it's either "you can go back and change things and create a different timeline" or "if you go back, it will mean that you always went back, and your actions in the past are what create the present/future" AKA a timeloop. I think that this show's version of time travel is the former rather than the latter because Switch wouldn't have been able to go back and warn David the attack was coming if you were only capable of creating timeloops. But then again, this show is wildly unpredictable so who knows. Maybe it's possible to do both. As long as Switch gets a happy ending. She didn't deserve any of this.

I think that this show's version of time travel is the former rather than the latter because Switch wouldn't have been able to go back and warn David the attack was coming if you were only capable of creating timeloops. But none of this really matters in a show where blue meanies come and cause time to reverse or fast forward for specific objects and people but spit it back up when they get punched. The logic there is almost incomprehensible and is more or less just done because it's cool. In the end I think I agree that future Syd and the ball simply don't happen in the timeline we're now watching because David didn't get to finish Farouk off. I hope I'm wrong because I'd like a better explanation for both of them but I hope I'm right because I don't want a time loop to be the actual way this all ends. It's a little too rote for my liking. Unfortunately, Farouk's clothing does make me think the time loop is inevitable. Either way, I'm sure I'll be entertained!

I'll be disappointed, and surprised really if the Switch storyline doesn't get suitably resolved - not just because she's endearing and sympathetic, but also because we haven't gotten the full picture yet. David's been mind controlling her no doubt (that interaction between David and Xavier confirmed this) but there are still some pretty glaring loose ends, e.g. her time traveling father, the robots, that "teacher" line, etc. I guess maybe that's all just Legion Weirdness but I hope they get tied back into the main arc somehow.

Anyone else think maybe David doesn't actually have DID, but rather all the Legions are just previous iterations of himself having jumped into his baby self after losing a time-traveling conflict with Farouk?

If the show went another season I could see this following the comics leading up to The Age Of Apocalypse. David goes back in time to try to kill Magneto (Shadow King), but accidentally gets Xavier killed. David gets wiped from existence right when Charles dies, and without him, Apocalypse (Shadow King again) goes unchecked and the world is nearly destroyed (the timeline from Syd's future).
