I won't be satisfied until I get to see Patrick Stewart gently caress a Bird Person.

the guy playing Cary is nearly 70 years old. maybe I'm not a good judge but I would never have guessed that.

I still have no idea what to make of Kerry.

She seems to have no special abilities whatsoever in combat yet everyone continues to act like she's a super commando.

"Guns, my one weakness!"
"More than one of you, my one weakness!"
"Clubs and shields, my one weakness!"
"A really big mean dude, my one weakness!"

I mean I kind of love that, that the overconfident badass is just "average 20 something girl with some karate lessons," but I'm not sure it's intentional.

like you say, they play her up as some super powered fighting machine but in the first season she seems like she can barely handle low level security goons. cgi-up that poo poo, let her shoryuken someone.

Shadow King was originally just an Egyptian mutant but I guess later they retconned him into being this multidimensional evil ghost monster thing.

We still don't know who exploded the pool in season one for sure do we?

I just guessed it was some other mutant that we just never got to see. Summerland had people around with abilities that have the potential for extreme violence, like that one person who flies in and does like Cannonball on one of the Division 3 guards. or the rock flinging telekinesis guy who later got stabbed.

It's been a while since I've watched the first season so I don't remotely remember the cannonball incident

really brief bit where someone flies down and tackles some mook and carries him off into the sky. reminded me off this guy, who I remember from way way back when I actually followed comics.

I'm pretty sure that's just the telekinetic launching a dude who was on the ground into the other dude.

this is super important so check this out, blurry looking person shape with bare arms about to grab the guy.



anyway I hope they introduce the Man Thing as a supporting character this season.

I have a theory that Unknown Flying Man has made several other appearances throughout the show's run, but no one noticed because he was flying so darn fast. I think we need to go through each episode frame by frame to determine when and where he appears.

There's a person swirling around the helicopter. It's pretty subtle. I also liked the scene of David killing that guy when he gets picked up off the ground.

I read the pilot episode since someone posted about it and there was nothing really interesting beside Cain Marko (!) being the guy who escorts David out of the pool and David giving his sister nosebleeds growing up. Here it is if anyone cares: http://scripts.tv-calling.com/script/fx-legion-1x01-pilot/

they filmed the nose bleed thing, it's a deleted scene.

the appearance of comics Legion was inspired by the paintings of Egon Schiele, the artist whose work is displayed in the art museum bits.

“saw Aubrey plaza naked” was not something I expected to do this season and they somehow made me wish I hadn’t :smith:

hard to take any pleasure in it after seeing what made it happen. that being said, there was indeed some side boob up in there.

In the parallel universes episode, the only one where David was fully functional was one where it was implied that Farouk was still with him, IIRC.

there was one where he was married with kids, total normie.

he totally did mind gently caress her. they meet for the very first time in their lives, he asks her to be his girlfriend right then and there, this woman who has very big issues with intimacy and being touched, and she says yes. that is not a thing that happens.

That song from the very beginning I recognized from something else and I can’t place it. It sounded kinda Bollywood if that makes sense, idk how to describe it.

it's a Serge Gainsbourg song.

Switch's edutape about Time Travellers definitely repeated those sentiments.

yeah, my take is Switch's dad?, an experienced time traveler himself, was trying to teach her how to time travel responsibly so you don't cause reality to unravel. unfortunately David's influence over her makes her fail to heed his advice.

Here's a good, high-quality version of the "Mother" cover by Dan Stevens (there's a slight hitch at ~5:03, but otherwise, its perfect).

One thing I will never forget about this show is the way they selected their music choices. They were stellar through the entire series, and the cover interpretations were universally both good and unique takes on the original material.

And here's "Peace, Love and Understanding"

I think I posted this a while ago in this thread, but for those of you who haven't seen it, here's an interview with the woman who curates the music for the show. she worked on Fargo too.
