(Not) Live (Not) Tweeting 'Legion' Episode 2.8

As far as episodes go, this one was pretty straight forward for Legion. The plot seemed to move forward giving its characters a clear objective while unraveling a bit more of the mystery regarding Farouk's body's whereabouts. It really only had one side-tracked tangent about delusions in the middle of the episode, including the sweet-sweet voice of Jon Hamm telling us about people living in caves and watching society unravel through shadows on the walls.

The teaser for next week looks extremely interesting with Lenny being all Lenny like. More Aubrey Plaza is always appreciated.

(Not) Live (Not) Tweeting 'Legion' Episode 2.7

Ostensibly on Legion.

What do the Amish building a barn have to do with moral panic?

Ah, not Amish, but pilgrims. And I see where you're going with this.

Did we run out of money and the sets are all just white backgrounds now?

Ha! He really is at the kiddie table.

I want to eat where there is a conveyor belt of entrees.

Did we know the mustache girls were robots? I don't remember them ever establishing that they are robots. Of course, I don't think I remember ever seeing more than three of them at a time. I just thought they were triplet females who wore mustaches (never thought I would type that in my lifetime).

Yeah, I don't really understand the tree as a computer thing. I'm confused.

(Not) Live (Not) Tweeting 'Legion' Episode 2.6

If multiple realities are really a thing, would we be the same person in each and its our surroundings that alter or would we have different personalities? Would we be victims of circumstance in each reality or would our different selves dictate the reality?

I knew that was a Clockwork Orange reference before the kids showed up. I recognized the camera shot when he walked into the tunnel.

Oh dear! But they put a much stranger twist on the scene than Kubrick did.

I thought I wanted to go back to corporate climbing David, but he turned out to be an a-hole.

I feel like I need to rewatch each episode immediately to fully understand what is being asked of me on a conceptual level. Maybe even watching the entire series again prior to each episode would help. This is my life now, watching Legion over and over again each week prior to every new episode. Quit my job, give up my 401K, pour everything I am into Legion. Sorry kids, daddy can't play with you today. He has to watch episode six of season one for the 37th time.

(Not) Live (Not) Tweeting 'Legion' Episode 2.5

Not "Previously on Legion," but "Apparently on Legion." Nice!

I hate that little tar frog creature. It's creepy.

I don't even know what to say about that ending. Wow!
