See, I actually have a massive hate-on for that theory, because it undermines the whole point of the inversion of the token female character they have going on there. But I'm a totally killjoy about that, I know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's just a silly idea, though. In the GB universe, it wasn't Thor. The subversive point, I think, still stands.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am enjoying Legion very much. Complex plots that unfold in quirky and challenging ways, cool art direction, unexpected Bollywood dance numbers --It's right up my alley.

Yeah, Legion has been one of the most visually interesting shows I've seen since Pushing Daisies.
And the actors and performances and the story have been very compelling.

If only the plot didn't make Twin Peaks seem straightforward by comparison.

It doesn't get any more straightforward, but I do think it's comprehensible.

I'm still enjoying it, but I'm not sure what's going on roughly half the time.

I'm enjoying it. I have almost no idea what's going on but I'm enjoying it. I really think all the actors are knocking it out of the park.

Yes indeed. It amazes me that Aubrey Plaza, whom I previously considered bereft of talent, is wowing me here. In every other role I've seen her in she came off as a bored junkie, but now that she's playing a creepy, malevolent monster only masquerading as a bored junkie she's tearing up the screen.

I've gotten hooked on Legion.
