Dear lord tell me this show is doing OK in the ratings and hasn't put people off with how insane it is.

It's on FX, they don't care about traditional ratings.

Well that was one heck of a cliffhanger.

This has been a real showcase for Aubrey Plaza.

Is this show a limited mini series with start and end or is it going to continue on? I want to know if we'll get closure or if they'll draw out his struggles for multiple seasons.

It was renewed for a second season this week. However, Hawley has said the show is not a puzzle box, and there will be answers and resolution to the season.

Heads up, according to critics who've already seen the episode there is a little extra something something during the credits tonight. Just in case you aren't like me and sit in mute shock as the credits roll trying to process what you just saw.

I am a little confused about the body switching. Did only the Shadow King jump? I know I'm missing something.

Just Farouk jumped ship when Syd kissed David.

I wish the internet had some confirm/deny on whether or not Noah Hawley has read or was influenced at all by Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles" for this.

If I'm remembering the interview he did with Andy Greenberg correctly, Hawley said he's not a comic book guy, so the answer to that is probably no. FX handed him a stack of characters and he picked the one that sounded most interesting.

I can't believe I've seen a stage hook in 2019, in a live action show, in a scene that has nothing to do with theatre.

The tea cup spinning in the air after dude got the hook was pure Looney Tunes and I loved it very much.

Bill Irwin was so, so good tonight.

That was Vince Guaraldi's version of O Tannenbaum wasn't it? Interesting choice considering the other Charlie Brown song earlier in the episode.

The issue I had was primarily with how this, exactly, was presented. While I understand what your argument is, I was under the impression he was just reversing the lies given to her via Farouk's meddling ala the Melanie cave scene. Melanie presented false information, David was removing the false information, defaulting Syd back to a pre-manipulated state. If that's not what happened, I was "a bad TV watcher" and have been under the wrong impression this entire time.

Did Melanie lie to Syd though? She showed her David torturing Oliver which did happen.

I still love seeing the guy who plays farouk on screen. He's magnetic. Can't believe I haven't seen him in more things. Think of the amount of action films he could have been the villain in just doing what he does in Legion. Switch is cool but Farouk guy is magnificent.

It massively hosed with my head when I realized he was the Sultan in the new Aladdin.
