I just watched the season 2 premiere and I have no fucking idea what’s going on... I’m not sure this is my fault either. Either I totally forgot what happened in season 1, or they are simply so abstract in the storytelling that I got left behind. I appreciate how meta it all is, but when your viewers aren’t even sure if anything is actually happening or not, then something went wrong. Damnit now I have to read a synopsis to make sure I really understand where people actually are: astral plane or some headquarters or just in his head.
- "Your viewers"? Maybe it's just you.i_monk
- season 2 started at 1 year later. david didn't even what's was going on. He thought he was missing for a day only. next few episodes slowly explains...pango
- what has happened. and what needs to be dealt with immediately.
just keep watching.
aubrey plaza got naked. it's worth it.pango - episode 6 is the real mind fuck. and has a tiny classic movie reference.pango
- Nah, I can agree with mono here. I have barely any idea wtf is happening. I just enjoy the ride.dopepope
- I know some people are keeping up with it. For me I maybe didn’t obsess over every detail and forgot a few things since last season. It’s frustrating.monospaced
- But I don’t believe it’s just me who is feeling this, all things considered. The show is a mind fuck for sure, on purpose.monospaced
- Lol I watched every episode twicepango
- Ain’t nobody got time for that!monospaced
- This new series has been amazing. Some nice back stories being played out. Just seen the one where there's loads of different alternate Davids.Ianbolton
- First Superhero Marvel thing I've seen in such a long time which isn't just a predictable cheese-fest.Ianbolton
- @ian, your comments stand alone, they didn’t need to be in response to minemonospaced
- Probably the best combination of writing and direction/cinematogr... on TV today.i_monk
- It’s alright. But it’s not ideal how they go out of their way to confuse the viewer to the extent they do. Not the best acting, not by a long shot.monospaced

Nobody else watching the new season? Love the John Hamm bits.
- just started the first season, I'll catch up and report back lol._niko
- I am! and loving itfeel
- It's a great show. Love how tripped out it gets as we try and work out who's head we're in and where we are in it all.Ianbolton
- That confusion isn’t fun for me. :/monospaced
- let go trying to understand everything and just enjoy the ride :)pango
- I don’t have any other choice now do I?monospaced

Ok, I just watched episode 6, and that was 48 minutes and 2 seconds of what exactly? I think the last 90 seconds of the episode kind of put a couple of fairly obvious things together for the viewer, but otherwise that was just 45 minutes of fucking crazy shit, and not necessarily in the good way. I don't want to watch the rest of the season of crazy people floating around in evil-induced limbo. Do something, for fuck's sake! AAGH!!- i have a feeling they will be out of the limbo as soon as episode 7 starts.pango
- Jemaine Clement to the rescue.
https://s-media-cach…pango - It was 45 minutes of Summerland figuring out what was going on and getting into position to stop it, while Aubrey Plaza played with them.i_monk
- And the Eye turned rapey.i_monk
- does the eye know what's going on?pango
- 45 min of awesomeness. Love the sleeping sequence.ArmandoEstrada
- "What is it?"
"Its crickets."ArmandoEstrada - there was that dance sequence... not sure what it was all about but she did take her pants off... so there's that...PonyBoy
- I think all but David are aware at some level that that wasn't reality.i_monk
- The dancing was Lenny revelling in her control over David. All the rooms she danced in were his memories of powers exploding.i_monk

really like this show. That blondie is hot like fahyia
*insert thumbs up
- She was in Fargo s2dopepope
- is that show good? I hear about it all the time but have no idea what it is. Nothing to do with the movie right?sofakingback
- David is one of the x-men in the comic. although i'm not sure if the writer will make him a x-men in the tv timeline.pango
- also they won't use the word x-men cuz one of the studio has the right to it. or something like that.pango
- Fargo on FX .. both seasons are great.
the 3rd one starts in AprilRamanisky2

Dan Stevens just asked Sir Patrick Stewart to appear in Legion and please let this happen now
http://metro.co.uk/2017/03/10/da…
"Sir Patrick himself seemed up for joining the critically-acclaimed FX show, saying ‘Absolutely, one hundred percent!’ when asked if he was interested..."
- odd, I recently read he was 100% DONE with this character.dopepope
- "Professor X is technically the father of his troubled Legion character David Haller"—is that real or metaphorical? like—'Father of all Xmen' or is X his dad?!PonyBoy
- Literally his father.i_monk

I'm enjoying this season. last few especially. The one about the girl who doesn't like to be touched was amazing.
- The interpretive dance scenes are very eye rolley for me tho.dopepope
- get ready for dance battle then!!pango
- @dope exactly! other than that, its pretty solid this season, really into it so farhelloeatbreathedrive

Three episodes in and I'm riveted. Unlike the OA, this does the vague thing really well, but follows up with actual nuggets of satisfying updates, small answers that chip away at the bigger questions, leaving me with plenty to speculate on. It's like I'm almost as confused as the main character, and that's a good thing, because I can't wait to see what comes next. Also loving the music and styling. I wish my wife was into the whole thing, but the idea of comic book backgrounds isn't her thing. Oh well!
- make her watch it!

Are any of the other supporting characters supposed to be mutants we know? Is that one chick that doesn't like being touched, is she Rogue?
- She switch conscious with who ever she touches. Not exactly rogue.pango
- oh ohdopepope
- wait, I thought she was one of his personalities...sofakingback
- ... and they all have powers.sofakingback
- I thought his personality can only manifest in his immediate surrounding. Other people have seen her with out him around.pango
- Old lady's telepathic. Science dude has a Native American girl living in him. Black dudes a dream catcher.pango
- Also memory manipulator. That good white dude who never spoke with David is a telekinesis.pango
- One eye ginger. Not sure yet.pango

I'm with @i_monk, nothing compared to the first series, 100 times better, this is absolutely the best cinematic production & narrative perfection. I'm just diving into 2x6, oh man I can't remember the last time I got the chills from watching 'something'. Huge respect to whoever is involved in the series.
- dopepope2
I really like the color pallet of this show. It's very soothing. And I enjoy the title reveal of the word LEGION every episode.
- i_monk0
Six episodes in and they haven't identified the pyrokinetic character (who took out the guards when David was in the pool). I wonder if it's just an editing thing or if there's some kind of reveal coming up.
- omg0
ya, this show is looking good.
- scarabin0
just saw the first episode. no idea what it was going in, but had a vague sense it was x-men related. haven't seen any of those movies.
i don't like superhero films in general and this didn't feel like one– which is the best way to sell it to me. pleasantly surprised, will def watch more!
