Legion S02E11- Chapter 19

Oct 01 2018 61 mins

Alright, guys. I'm not going to type much here. If you liked this finale and you want to hang onto that, I would recommend giving this episode a miss. I pretty much tear the whole thing apart from start to finish. Ye be warned. Also, trigger warning for rape talk. Because we sure needed more of THAT this week.

Hey there, folks! I'm back to a full schedule this week, and Maggie and I discuss the rather disappointing penultimate episode of Legion. It's really too bad, because I came into the second season with so much goodwill and excitement, but man they have fumbled this season pretty hard. To be fair though, a lot of the things that I didn't like about this episode Maggie didn't have as

Every time I think that me and the show Legion have come to an understanding about what I care about and want to see more of, they do something like this and reassure me that they weren't listening at all. Are there sections of this episode I loved? Sure. I mean, who isn't going to enjoy a hot lesbian sex scene with Aubrey Plaza and some weirdo girl who thinks she's pregnant by it?

Alright, folks, it's time for us to get serious about searching for Farouk's body. And by "get serious" I mean "wander aimlessly through the desert with no apparent purpose or method". There are certainly scenes in this episode that I liked, don't get me wrong. Pretty much everything with Ptonomy being in the weird tree of knowledge is rad, along with his discovery of the monk and

Oh boy, listeners, what in the hell is going on here? This episode of Legion is the first one where I get a pretty satisfying conclusion (kind of) to one thread of the story, which is the one about the delusion-bug. I've known that it invaded Ptonomy's mind, but I wasn't sure that this was going to get resolved before the very end of the season. For that matter, I'm not sure that i

Well listeners, I know I say pretty much every time there's a new episode of Legion that it was "weird", but this time I mean it in a slightly different way than usual. I mean yes, the episode is plenty weird, don't get me wrong, but instead of it just being the content, I'm also a little puzzled by the timing. Doesn't this seem like a strange point in the story to have an episode

Greetings, brave adventurer. We're here with the next chapter of Legion, and holy shit is this one a doozy. This is one of those rare instances on this show where you get the answer to a bunch of your questions almost immediately. And then, as it turns out, you kind of wish you hadn't, because the answers are terrible and upsetting and really really messed up. I have to concede the

Hey so this was a weird one, huh? I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this episode. I think Maggie was more annoyed with it than I was, on the whole, because she feels like the way they're epicting Sydney isn't really in line with what we saw last season and they haven't really done the work to get her to this point with her character. I can totally see what she means, and she m

Hey there, listeners! Maggie and I will not have an episode of Legion for you next week, as I will be traveling to see family, so hopefully this one will tide you over. I will miss you! This chapter of the story was one of those pieces of the puzzle that feels like it should be more meaningful than it is. The bits where John Hamm narrates factoids about the nature of reality and th

Oh boy. Guys. Amal Farouk is here, and he is AWESOME. I was kind of lukewarm on the first episode, like, "I know how good this show can be so I hope they pick it up because I don't know about this here that I'm watching." Not outright disappointed as much as just non-plussed and a little lost. This episode did a lot to assuage my fears. And you know, when I step back and look at it
