(Not) Live (Not) Tweeting 'Legion' Episode 2.1

It's a new season for David and his mutant friends. That means another season of not live tweeting about Legion. Instead, I will post my collective thoughts after the show has aired and post it to the blog. So instead of live tweets, you are getting carefully constructed and thought-out blog posts.

It should be noted that if you haven't yet watched this week's episode, don't read on. Spoiler alert provided.

Jon Hamm!!! Voice-over narration by Jon Hamm. I'm already in love with the second season.

What is the cost of a single episode of this show? The production value is incredible. Sheesh!

Thanks Hamm. Now every crazy idea I ever have will be rendered in my mind as an oily mess of a stillborn chick.

I love the way Rachel Keller says, "He's my man." It's been used in a lot of the promos leading up to this season and there's something in her deliver and inflection that is solid.

What it must be like in the Legion writers' room: "Guys, we are really onto something, but you know what we need in this episode? A dance off!"

This show shouldn't exist. No network has executives smart or patient enough to let a show like this on the air. Let alone renew it for a second season.
