Cardie March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 If the show had started out with David captured by D3 and then rescued and analyzed at Summerland, I could see doing an episode in which all the mutant powers were rationalized as psychiatric disorders. But with those initial hours spent at the hospital, this seemed repetitive and not revealing anything of value for the fight in the real world. Syd is the least vulnerable to being fooled by the manipulations of her psychic reality. Is that because of her temporary switch with David? 2 Link to comment

thuganomics85 March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 The random bit where "Lenny" just starts dancing to "Feeling Good", was probably the most random dance number since.... well, the Bollywood one from the pilot. Credit to Aubrey Plaza's commitment. She's always been, well, eccentric, in most of her roles, but as Lenny, the show is just unleashing her in all of her psychotic glory, and I heartily approve! Overall though, I enjoyed parts of it, but it drag quite a bit as well, and a bit of a step back compared to the past few episodes. I guess this was this show's version of a bottle episode, but there wasn't much suspense since it is obvious that the group (or most of them), is going to snap out of it eventually, and it's just waiting for it to finally happen. I did find it interesting that Syd seemed to be figuring it out before everyone else (until Lenny put her to sleep.) Was it because she was briefly David when they switched bodies? I totally forgot about how The Eye was shooting at David before all of this happened, and Syd jumped in front of him. So, it seems like Oliver (?) is now trying to wake everyone up and prevent this? Interesting that he went to Carey first, and now Carey has gone to Syd. And what is going on with him bringing Melanie to the shoot-out? Does he want her to stop it, somehow? Glad to get a little background on Ptonomy and his childhood. Lenny brings up David's father. Yeah, I think it is going to be who he was in the comics. Which makes me wonder if Spoiler they will be able to make Patrick Stewart reconsider retiring as Xavier. Or maybe they can also convince James McAvoy! Next week looks utterly insane. Although, that pretty much describes every episode of this show! 6 Link to comment

Of course by my reckoning "Lenny" is trying to manipulate the minds of at least two lesser telepaths in addition to David, with the Eye and Carey/Kerry also having some psychic components to their powers (albeit only with each other in the latter case). It may just be that it's too much of a juggling act all at once, and Syd is where its attention is least focused. 2 Link to comment
Eneya March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 Ooh, that was fun. Apparently B/Lenny (Shadow King) tried to keep "everybody happy" (something akin to the Matrix) but overall, she doesn't need them? Syd is the least affected because, I think, she has the least amount of trauma from all of them, so, it's hard to push her in the deep end that easy. I wondered about the music though and how it put her to sleep/coma/whatever. Also, I predict somebody will step in front of these bullets sooner than later. 2 Link to comment

It was a nice vehicle to show that s/he has been with David this whole time. Granted she just straight out says that to him ("I've been with you since the womb") but it was a nice visual aid. As far as David's father goes I loved that B/Lenny is trying to make him mad but also reveals that he gave David up to protect him. And if they cast his father Spoiler I hope to the Dude that Patrick Stewart would do it. Even a cameo. James McAvoy is too young, although they could make that work if they do a flashback to when he gave him up. Just don't cast someone else. Edited March 16, 2017 by HotRats2112 6 Link to comment
DanMSchro March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 I thought this was a stellar episode. I always wait to watch the episode without commercials, really enhances the experience and keeps me in the show's headspace throughout. Aubrey Plaza is a queen! In the beginning of the series I thought she was leaning a little too hard into the role, but now she is killing it and getting to do ALL the things. Her dance break through David's memories gave me life. I think Syd's ability to see through the charade has to do with swapping bodies with David, and that she's one of the least damaged. The most confusing part of Syd's story this week is that she thinks she can't touch people, but David says her diagnosis has to do with delusional thinking, not physical contact. But then why did he bring a pillow to Syd's bed to put between them? And what's the deal with David's sister? Has the YED invaded her mind, controlling her, or is the person we see in the hospital just another face the YED wears? Female Kerry continues to be the weakest link in the acting chain on this show. She just can't carry a scene. From the moment we heard her backstory about being a Native American girl I felt the show was trying to say, "Look, diversity casting!" but casting a bad actress is never a good move, diversity or not. And guys! The Eye is a cannibal, right? His scene with Kerry combined with Melanie's comments in an earlier episode about him liking to hurt people paint a pretty clear picture. 5 Link to comment
coppersin March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 Yes some stuff happened and I definitely enjoyed the fun. But there are only two really important things I took away from this episode: -Cary & Kerry's goodnight fist bump was adorable -I want pie 7 Link to comment
Bruinsfan March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 I did not have that reaction to seeing someone hork up a mouthful of pie crawling with bugs. Interesting that we've been somewhat uncertain what's real or not all along, and now this entire episode takes place either within David's mind or on the Astral Plane (with a peek at the physical world via Melanie). One thing about that bit that confused me, it showed nameless telekinetic guy as the one firing the machine gun. But wasn't that the Eye masquerading as him last episode? Or do I have things mixed up? Link to comment
indeed March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 Speaking of horking, while she wasn't being very nice at all to David, him reacting to his "sister"(?) with starting to gag, "stop it", stomping off was a funny, cute little brother thing to do...you know, in a warped way. Next episode's promo looks good (and amusing). This episode - eh. It dragged a bit. But then it's not the first show to have people stuck in a false reality with the viewer waiting for the character(s) to figure it out. At least it was just one episode for them to start figuring things out. So Ptonomy was five when 99 Luft Balloons came out in Germany (in 1983). Dishwasher, cutlery basket...how did his mom die? 3 Link to comment

rmontro March 16, 2017 Share March 16, 2017 At this point, most of the confusion of the earlier episodes has disappeared, and we know pretty much who is real, who isn't, etc. I never read the Legion comic books, so I'm curious as to where all this is going. Are they going to rid David of the parasite? That seems to be what this season's story arc is about, but if they get rid of Shadow King, this show will have an entirely different feel to it. Or maybe he and David will learn to co-exist somehow, or maybe David will gain control of it. They have to be headed toward some sort of resolution of some kind, and how they do that is going to have a big effect on future seasons. Agree that Aubrey Plaza is killing it. Although this could be her only season on the show? 3 Link to comment

It's a little sad when you think about it that David felt happiest and most content being in a mental hospital. Talk about being institutionalized. By the way, this is a minor quibble, but mental patients are discouraged from having relationships within such institutions. They are supposed to be focused on their treatment. 4 Link to comment

Time Out March 17, 2017 Share March 17, 2017 This was one of my favorite episodes, as well. Now that we've established (maybe) who is real, and who is not, this episode showed that Shadow King (in all his forms) is in charge of all these people that have chosen to gravitate towards David. I'm not familiar with the comic, so these people's motives for clinging to him, I'm not certain of. I'm sure it will become clear, eventually. It seems that of all these people only Syd and Oliver (maybe Walter, also) have not been 100% controlled by King. What is clear is that for the story to advance to the point that David will actually be able to use his powers in any meaningful way, King the parasite will have to be eliminated, or at the very least, controlled. I think Syd being able to "see behind the curtain" is going to be key here. King being able to hijack David's mind whenever it wants can't be good unless the story's goal is to keep David institutionalized, and I don't think it is. Maybe they'll trap King in Oliver's ice cube. 2 Link to comment

Lantern7 March 19, 2017 Share March 19, 2017 Saw it on DVR today. Made the mistake of laying on the couch. Wound up falling asleep from the lack of dialogue, so I rewatched. The guy playing David can put off the non-verbal cues of having an erection at the worst possible moment. I know, Lenny is basically Someone Else/Something Else, but damn, she was all over David. Also, she can dance. At this point, why not?!? If another character channels Christopher Walken in the video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon Of Choice," I won't be that surprised. "I'll touch the bull- . . . no, that's too hot. No, I'll move David and Syd out of the w- . . . damn, they're too heavy to move. How does the Flash move people around in the blink of an eye?

If she buys her own, how does someone who doesn't even know what going to the bathroom is know how to pick out such dynamite outfits? Does she have a subscription to Vogue addressed to Inside of Cary, Summerland, Upstate New York, USA, or does she share a post box with him?

I think its the way her facial expressions never seem to really match up, like the AP in Davids head isn't really sure what actual human expressions are, and she's having trouble mimicking them. Especially when she smiles. It just looks...wrong. Its really unnerving. Most of the other people in the mind world seem at least a little like they normally are, but Kerry is completely different. She's skittish and not exactly the badass she is in the real world. It must have taken a lot of power to separate Carey and Kerry from each others brains, considering they share a body/conscious. Also, does Melanie have a power? She works with mutants, she was married to one, but we`ve never seen her display any powers yet. Maybe its something really big that she doesn't like to break out much. Or maybe she's just a non powered person who works with mutants. No idea. I guess its not technically confirmed who David's father is, but...I'm pretty sure its the person who I think it is. I wonder how that will end up working out? Spoiler Considering the ambiguous time period and the surreal nature of the series, you could probably fit it just about anywhere in the X-Men universe, so they could have Patrick Steward as Charles, or James Mcavoy, depending on if either of them will do a cameo. It would be really awesome if one of them would! Edited March 22, 2017 by tennisgurl 3 Link to comment

Given their physical connection she's probably never experienced a situation where Cary just disappeared. 1 Link to comment
Bruinsfan March 22, 2017 Share March 22, 2017 I think Melanie has some low-level telepathic power. She's initiated mindspeech with David, she's involved in Ptonomy's memory work inside Summerland residents' minds, and as Terrafamilia pointed out she's been able to manipulate the surroundings of their mindscape on a couple of occasions. 3 Link to comment
