I really liked Legion when it wasn't making a ton of sense and now that it's making more sense, I still really like it! I didn't know anything about this character within the Marvel/X-Men universe, so I feel like there are still lots of things that I don't really catch, but it's visually amazing and the acting is out of this world. I want Aubrey Plaza to win all the awards. And Dan Stevens! Especially in the last episode, Dan Stevens was ruling my world.
I think they found an interesting way to craft a show around a character who can basically do anything with his mind. David could be a really boring character because he's so much stronger than, well, pretty much everything else, but they way that they've addressed that and worked within it has been fascinating. I'm sad that there's only one episode left in this season. I want more!
Okay, this last ep of Legion was AWESOME. The silent film sequence alone was spectacular!
The one thing I'm still missing is that they never established a baseline for what the real world is like in this show's universe. I'm sure that's deliberate, but it does make it difficult to appreciate when things get weird, because there is no way to know how far away from "normal" we are at any given moment. (Again, I'm CERTAIN that this is being done on purpose, and maybe even done well. But I'm not a fan of the choice.)
Legion is still on its first season, right? Is it available to stream on Hulu or anything? I keep hearing such good things!
It's available to watch on the FX Network's page here: [link]
Ah, thanks!! I never think to check the actual network website.
Why the hell would S2 of Agent Carter be listed this way?
Marvel's Agent Carter - Season 2 by Chad Michael Murray Blu-ray
I sent an "incorrect product information" report to Amazon. It may be petty of me but that's some shit right there.
How many episodes are in the first season of Legion? I somehow binged the first 6 today.
I keep having to remind myself that it's a comic book and that I shouldn't try too hard to relate costuming to an actual time period.
Eight episodes in the first season. It's been renewed already. The 1960s design was supposed to be part of what showed David to be an unreliable narrator.
If the designs had changed drastically when Syd was narrating that might be more obvious. And fascinating! Probably too costly for production though.
Aubrey Plaza is awesome, Jemaine Clement is awesome, and T-Rex is awesome.
