Why would anyone want fake memories over real experience? It's a pretty common refrain on these forums that people wish they could watch their favourite shows blind again, having the memory implanted would just put you at that point without ever actually experiencing the show fresh. Even real memories are never as good as the actual experience

Isn't that a bit like saying you wish Breaking Bad didn't rely so heavily on drug dealing for its story telling?

The intro-style "FX presents..." right at the end was interesting, seems to suggest poo poo is about to get real. Or unreal given that it's Legion. Can't wait.Henchman of Santa posted:Cool Cream cover! The soundtrack for this episode was great

Yes. There might be a contrarian naysayer or two (there always is) but overall the thread consensus has been that it's great.

You forgot the most important question: What is Oliver's plan to kill Farouk?

dead comedy forums posted:I don't think Farouk understood it. Some hypotheses: None of these work imo, because they're all based around David killing Farouk. Oliver's threat was that he would kill Farouk. I really like Chokes McGee's guess, it works with the riddle too: Oliver is one, Farouk is one, but together they don't make two. They're still just one, which Oliver can kill.

Has Division 3/this show always been so full of hexagons? There were a lot of hexagons in this ep.

Yeah I think the implication is he's an anti-christ figure. Also, I really hope David and Lenny aren't gonna be an item now, given whose body Lenny is in and whose mind is still in there somewhere

He might not have physically forced himself on her, but he did use mind powers to make her forget she didn't want to have sex with him. (Regardless of whether he made Sid love him in the first place or not.) As Sid herself puts it, he effectively drugged her and had sex with her, which is rape by any reasonable definition. I think from David's point of view he was just "fixing" Farouk's fuckery and he didn't realise that what he was doing was wrong, not that that makes it okay.

Oh okay that first sentence sounded like "oh it wasn't rape he just made her forget he's a bad guy", sorry if I misread it Yeah I think that's just implied. Although it seems David is powerful enough and messed up enough that he might have done it subconsciously. I dunno if he's a "bad guy" as in like a villain at all, just a very messed up guy who means well but doesn't understand what's right and wrong sometimes and has unintentionally done a very bad thing. Which, while not at all justified, is somewhat understandable given his history of playing host to a psychic parasite for most of his life and also dealing with basically being a god and being feared/marginalised for it while just wanting a normal life.

So if Switch can only safely go back a couple of hours at most, I guess David wanting to go way back and change past mistakes isn't gonna happen. Unless she like, levels up or defeats the time monster or something. I feel that trying to predict this show is pretty pointless though, pretty much anything is on the cards when you have god-level psychic wizards and time travelers in the mix. I should probably just sit back and enjoy the ride. The only thing I feel safeish guessing is that David will get a redemption arc and/or a tragic ending. Most likely both, he's a pretty tragic figure and between what he is and what he's been through I don't know how he could ever become a well-adjusted person who can properly empathise with normal people.

So we've seen Farouk can interfere with Switch's time travel powers such as when he met her, and was that the Yellow King lurking in the time travel hall in ep 1? Is it possible he discovered baby David by following Switch and adult David back in time?

twistedmentat posted:I don't know why Switch went with him so easily though. Going to assume that David planted a trigger inside of her to get her to do whatever he says later. I read the song at the end as David psychically forcing Switch to help him. Last time he wanted to go back she was refusing and he was threatening to force her. Song and dance have been used to represent psychic control/battles in the show before, and after the song he just assumes she's willing, and she raises no objection.

Corte posted:I think that's a bit of a stretch. Just because you have examples of powers being used during musical numbers does not necessarily mean that all musical numbers are meant to symbolize use of powers. I don't think the musical number at the end of the latest episode was meant to signify David using his power. I think it was a device used to allow the viewer to reflect on themes of the show and see how far all the character's have come. So why is Switch suddenly co-operative when previously she was refusing?

Corte posted:I didn't interpret their interaction as her refusing David, she certainly was questioning him about how he felt about murdering most of Division 3. I wasn't referring to that, I meant in the time demon episode when he was saying (paraphrasing) "we have to go back again!" and she was saying "no I can't it's too much", he says "do I have to force you?" before they're interrupted by the demons.

Navid Negahban was (as always) awesome too. I really enjoyed the more jovial Farouk and especially the rattled Farouk. Really all the acting on this show is consistently good and I feel like the actors are all really into their roles and enjoying themselves.

or he was just lying, which would explain why charles-era farouk looks younger than david-era farouk and also provides a more reasonable timeframe for his personal growth instead of 2000 yo psychic parasite suddenly discovers the power of love

IUG posted:Kindof hosed up for Switch to say that everyone in that room mattered, and not say Kari/Carrie's name. I thought that was due to the temporal fuckery of them sharing a body. They did it to confuse the time demons, maybe switch couldn’t see them or something
