I'm still not sold on Lenny being real. The idea above about warwolves is pretty cool but I was wondering if we are seeing a Wolfsbane analogue, seeing that Legion originates in New Mutants. Nice to see that Syd's powers involve switching places and bodies on contact, and are not a direct Rogue analogue. Iterested a lot in Vapor, like is it a mutant drug like Kick? and is there any significance to "it's always blue" like is it Dazzler's blood or something?

Can't wait for next week!

Well I hadn't gotten to that point yet :rolleye: But still, don't be such a man; she still asked him not do it! Does the fact that she loves him invalidate her wishes and autonomy? Also, TV is known to conflate love and infatuation. Exactly how long have the two known each other? I mean, it took me a year and change to know I was in love with the man who became my boyfriend...

The Expanse suffers from being very slow at first and only really getting good during the last 3-4 episodes of season 1, but season 2 is great so far.

You mixed up "really getting good" with "getting really good"

She was a main character on an extremely popular cable TV show that ran for 7 years and has been working steadily since it went off the air 5 years ago. She just successfully crossed over from the cutesy-twee crowd to the nerd crowd, so she will automatically be more online since Parks & Rec fans probably don’t have an online community outside of a sub-reddit whereas every nerd/comic book/gaming website talked about Legion.

My favourite thing she did was smoking weed with Ali Shawkat on Getting Doug.

So I watched one episode in the middle of last season just to see what all the hype was about, and felt it's plot was slow moving which wasn't so bad considering similar shows have done that kinda stuff, but didn't at all get the constant weird artsy showboating that took up too much time, and made the Fargo TV series's random philosophizing seem restrained and normal by comparison. Deffo getting the same feeling with this episode, and I have a feeling it's not about plunging headfirst into a second season on a show like a fish out of water. Is this something I have to get over or is this the show's MO?

Wait... wot?

That's weapons grade stupid.

So I'm gathering from your responses that this is a pretentious show that tries to be as "deep" as possible, but when the time comes to put up or shut up, the storytelling is slow and weak as possible. Mr. Robot did this whole artsy thing too, and even that was pretty easy to follow because for all it's random allusions and references, the thing was a straightforward character drama/fight against an evil empire thriller thing.

Also, I haven't even closely followed the show (obviously) and I was able to figure out that silent Syd at the end was telling David that the organization he's currently working with is actually looking for the Shadow King's body and give it to him on a silver platter. Observe how in the meeting with the mustached women and the basket head, when he asks if they're in a race against the Shadow King to find his actual body, the mustached women go silent.

Actually homeslice, i think you'll find i put this show drat near the top of my list last year, and was leaving room for this season at the top of this years list.

I love this show. I don't dissect it, i watch it and let in unravel, in order.

I was prepared to write a really angry review of the first episode of season 2 here because it was 100% recap but then I realized I watched the second episode of season 1. I'm a retard basically.

That's not even close to the most retarded thing in just the last two pages. So you're at least par for the course.

I went to a sushi bar in Berlin that had that set up and it was fantastic. Just random things would come by that you could grab or you can make a request to the chef and you would put a special flag on the boat so that no one would take it until it got to you. As long as there were no sushi pirates in the bar I guess.

You need to be clearly marked as a pirate with a hat and a parrot. But i think that checks out legally.

Edge & Christian posted:

This was actually addressed in the original comics, though in a way that makes it clear that it's a Chris Claremont comic from 30+ years ago:

(Uncanny X-Men #161, the first mention/appearance of Gabrielle Haller)

(immediately after this kiss she is kidnapped by Nazis who know that she is the key to finding all of Hitler's lost gold. Magneto and Xavier team up to rescue her from Baron Von Strucker and his band of underground Nazis and the flashback ends)

She's next mentioned about a year later in New Mutants #1, where she appears for one page:


And then this plotline is dropped and left dangling for twenty four issues because that's how Chris Claremont plotted.




Oh yeah I forgot, because it was the mid-1980s, David saw his adoptive dad he thought was his real dad get killed by Arab Terrorists and "got Autism" from it.

He's a 2000 year old brain wizard. There's not much that he's likely to be too worked up by and is likely playing with the god boy who can break reality this whole time because literally wtf else are you gonna do all day at that point? He's probably already done the cult of drugs and hot chicks thing in every place and time where both were available since the invention of freak. Sure everyone else is worried that time is being eaten by demons but to him it's Tuesday #9857 with blue ones this time and he just wants to get back to having some fun.

His mind palace is Casablanca with dudes in lingerie, he's operating on a totally different level as everyone else when it comes to being chilled out.

You can practically feel the Shadow King think "Yes, you are almost down to my moral level. Just a little more and you'd be ripe for my manipulation."

It was high time for all the voices in David to assert themselves, let us see where they lead the plot.

Why let plot ruin a perfectly good season?
