Legion

[scpanther22]

Anyone else caught the pilot this past week on FX? apparently its set in the x-men universe(although I imagine very loosely). Visuals were great, different from any thing comic book related on TV

 

From what I remember about David Haller in the comics he's Professors X kid and is one of the most powerful mutants in that universe but like we saw in the pilot very mentally unstable..overall thought it was pretty good episode

Saw it. Liked it a lot. I'm not much for superhero TV shows but since the guy that does Fargo did this, I gave it a go. Will definitely keep watching.

As for him being so powerful, he's supposed to have dozens of personalities. EACH with their own super power. Could be fun.

I thought it was a great pilot.  Pilots usually are iffy, but this hit the mark and was really cool.

Legion is basically an Omega-level mutant, which is the highest.   Potentially one of the most powerful.    I think the show will more more grounded/in its own world though and may not touch on X-men universe or even who is father is.

For being completely confused, it was a good start. Need to watch again for sure. And then binge watch at the end. 

tbh, I liked the 'crazy' that was missing from the 12 Monkeys show.

One word- fuging crazy poo. I loved it, can't wait to binge watch it.

As someone that went into this show completely blind knowing absolutely nothing about the content, characters or plot line. I have to say when Busker showed up in the second episode after being murdered it made me wonder if she is even real. Is she? I began to question if we're likely viewing an entire world of his own design that exists within his own head.

 A few parts of it definitely left me scratching my head. Our POV is completely unreliable because he is so mentally imbalanced. But it's so well done that I find myself more intrigued than confused. Good show so far.

Busker was shown in a flashback in episode 2, but she is dead in the present, killed by his girlfriend after they switched bodies and she didn't know how to control his powers (accident).

But yeah, we don't know what really is going on, you see stuff that looks like it's decades before but then you see someone using a tablet that looks from the future.

So I'm three episodes in and this show is nothing short of brilliant.

Wait until episode 7. You will enjoy the hell out of that one. I liked it so much I watched it twice. Episode 6 is a little difficult to sit through but completely makes up for it in episode 7.

Warning Spoiler Below...

I wonder if Oliver will begin to age now that he is out of his diving suit.

This show.

What else can you say?

Best show on TV at the moment. Hope they can keep it going, beyond the source material....

 

 

Oh yeah, that was a shot at TWD.

The wife made (ok, not made) me go see the new Beauty and the Beast last night. Guess who plays the Beast and the prince? Yep, Legion.

 

Also, Gandalf/Magneto plays a clock.

Anytime a T Rex song, that's not Bang a Gong pops up, it's a good thing.

So...I was just re-watching the last episode with a friend of mine and noticed after the credit roll David gets beamed into some kind of 'drone'. WTF is it? And who is that walking out of the hallway in the background? Anyone else catch this?

Ha, yeah, who knows.   Some people think the drone could be one of his personalities, etc.
