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.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've gotten hooked on Legion.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm binge-watching Legion and Iron Fist, back and forth, episode by episode. It makes me appreciate just how awesome Legion is, even more.

Started Legion (only first ep) and I like it, but does it become less confusing?

Uhm, a little?

Episode 6 is where stuff starts making a fair bit of sense.

Well, some stuff is hypothesized in Ep 5 but not really confirmed until 6. It's still a fun ride before anything makes sense, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It makes more sense from episode to episode. But the first several make you re-evaluate the premise each time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was annoyed with it until episode 5, which I thought was great, and then back to being annoyed again with ep 6. At this point I'm intrigued enough to keep watching, but there had better be one HELL of a payoff. This show is really lucky it's so pretty.
(We did tell Bill Irwin we were really enjoying the show when we saw him on the street outside Town Hall this weekend before The Cameraman, but we were just being polite. He told us it had been renewed for a second season, and more or less said he hoped it made more sense to watch than it did to film, but that he was having fun doing it.)
