One thing I'm stoked about we'll probably see more of "The Eye," since David has a penchant for absorbing the psyches/powers of those he's killed

Yea, sadly, the majority of people I know know who legion is.

The comics aren't that bad. They probably watched Batman V Superman or Justice League, or worse suicide squad, Legion [The TV Show/really any form] is way better than that

He wasn't always in a wheelchair, but I also doubt it's Professor X

Yeah, I didn't get the impression Farouk "got it." I think his chuckle was just him reacting to what he perceived as an idle threat

I'd imagine David and Syd have to work their poo poo out, most likely David has to come clean and get forgiveness from Syd. Desolé can be both "desert [desolation]" or "sorry. [Je suis desolé]"

I was wondering about that, too, but I can't say I'm totally sure it's actually them, like it may actually be some other character [probably not]

I thought Patrick Stewart was down for some Legions?

This was also my quibble with season 2. The weird poo poo going on in season one was much more seamlessly incorporated and added character to the world. Season 2's weird poo poo tended more toward the unexplained non-sequitur.

Agreed. Season 1 was amazing, and the weird stuff seemed to make more sense. Season 2 seems more like the weird stuff is more for the director to have fun than for the viewer to have fun.

Yeah, no one does. But this show did definitely portray at least two rapes, so it's gonna be a topic of discussion

Whoa, I had been listening to Superorganism's "Something For Your M.I.N.D." a lot recently, so hearing it here was a bit of a trip

oh god they're doing the "david meddling with his own past drove his mother crazy" thing aren't they

I feel like that could've partially been it, but it also seem like Future David also accidentally distracted Xavier enough so that Farouk was able to slip in and take total control of Baby David

It does line up with comics pretty well. Gabrielle Haller in the comics was a catatonic holocaust survivor in a mental institution, and Xavier used his powers to help her, and fell in love. But Xavier was just visiting the institution, and not committed

I love how this show uses practical effects. Any other show would've made those Blue Meanies pure CGI, and they probably would've looked fine, but probably not much better than your run-of-the-mill video game monster.

It may not even needed to really be "growth." It really does seem like a smart move for Farouk to just not gently caress with Xavier or his son, let them be. Farouk gets to live on in his body havin' a good ole time, and all he really has to worry about is steering clear of those guys

Kindof hosed up for Switch to say that everyone in that room mattered, and not say Kerry/Carrie's name.

Yeah, I thought that was an odd slight as well. They were pretty clearly quite vital to that plan actually being able to go off, and it's not like they didn't have the time to say "And Kerry/Carrie"

But I suppose they were about to be un-existed anyway, and it wouldn't really matter
