I'm enjoying Legion a lot. Is it bad that it's making sense to me?
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It makes sense to me but I know the comic's premise. I know who Aubrey's character is supposed to be.
I have to say it has the best production values I've seen since Pushing Daisies (I think it's the same designer).

It's got gorgeous visuals.

I just wish the show weren't trying SO HARD to not make sense. I get that they're going for an unreliable-narrator-possessed-by-a-more-powerful-unreliable-narrator thing, but even the characters who aren't David will have conversations completely devoid of NOUNS for no other purpose than making sure the audience has to keep guessing what the fuck they're talking about.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
It's beautifully done and I'm very intrigued. Just wasn't sure if it was going over my head or purposefully all over the place.

Oh safe to say the incoherence is intentional and has a point.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jess! YOU MET BILL IRWIN? I have worshiped the guy ever since I saw this bit of brilliance on PBS in the 80s. [link] I wore out my tape of it from watching it so many times.
By the way--if you click the link, you can watch the whole thing and be forever indebted to me.

"Met" might be putting it strongly - he was hanging out by the stage door while we were waiting to go in, and we started chatting. He's fantastic!

That totally counts. Chatting counts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, man, the four-day gap before Legion shows up on Hulu is going to FUCKING KILL ME.
