Presumably just depicting the same era but the kid walking into traffic really reminded me of Toby Maguire in Pleasantville.

I know she's done other movies and things besides Parks and Rec, but I think this is the first time I've seen her acting without... 'being a character, in character' if that makes sense at all.

Good work Kerry - interesting that she/they still ends up with Division, might have been nice to give the Eye a little cameo there too.

Loved David's little-boy-shorts dinner suit. Also Kerry with an axe and the legless vermillion pulling itself along. Oh and David using huge powers at the end there (with no need for fx when he popped in)

Also the reveal that Admiral Fukyama looked pretty much normal, probably just dealing with his own issues about being seen by people, or choosing to build up his mystique, Young Pope style. It could have been either when it was used against him.

The episode itself kind of reminded me of the last one of Counterpart. All this for that?? I mean, it was very big in-story, but feels like it was being built up to the audience as something more.

I also noticed how lonely Division 3 is. Seriously, we have seen virtually no extras there. I wonder if Hawley's gonna touch on that...

When David and robo-ptonomy were talking all I could think about was the waste of food travelling past them.

What's the reason for the child soldiers again? Does Division 3 run some sort of Logan's Run thing where once they turn 13 they put on big boy tactical gear and are immediately turned to goop by Oliver?

I could watch Cary making comedy fleeing noises all day.

Especially loved this, and the first shot of the cage reflecting off of Farouk's glasses. Amazing episode.

Maybe she was passively experiencing everything 'full 4d smellovision' without actually having to go through the motions of chewing, farting, bathing etc, herself.

There's pretty much no way to do a proper superhero battle on a TV budget, but Legion did it with that animated psychic battle. And the fun thing is that it could pretty much only work in this show.

Watching that scene I wondered whether it was because of a lack of budget, or imagination, that the infamous Heroes battle didn't do similar.

I liked his little argument with Scottish Dave and whoever else in the back room, I gather that's what the comc character was all about like his counterpart in Doom Patrol?

I thought she was engaging as a sort of everyperson encountering insanity in episode 1, despite her status as time traveler.

It's true, my dad was also the tv

Nah, I agree with you, but her butler/weird robo dad etc were pure Legion.

It was just one line but I hope they were implying that her string of perfect grades resulted from pure cheating. That's the kind of groundedness I want to see.

Kinda weird to see the Shadow King just chatting, little bit of exposition, listen guys here's the deal

Sorry if I've missed something obvious: How is Syd so sure she'll do so well if time reverts to her pre-2nd childhood? She's still likely to be messed up by her early life, although I'll guess having Melanie and Oliver together at Summerland would be great.

(Are they still gonna be traumatised by The Eye and the rest of the Section goons)
