The very surreal Legion comes to the end of the first season with Chapter 8. I kept expecting the chapter names to change to something else halfway through the season, considering how odd the rest of the show is, but that never happened. But the show remained just as odd up to the finale. For…
Legion’s short season continues along its psychedelic way in the not creatively-named “Chapter 7.” Most of the cast are still trapped in the illusionary version of the Clockworks Institute, presided over by Lennie. Lennie is playing a very different version of doctor in this world, and most of them would rather not be playing. Just…
Last episode ended with the wrenching transition from the real world to what appears to be a recreation of the Clockworks Institute, with a few differences. Whether this is a mental construct like David and Syd’s “white room” or whether David restructured reality with his immense power isn’t wholly clear (like a lot of this…
Legion Chapter 5 picks up slightly after last time left off. David and Ptonomy are carrying Kerry back to Cary, who appears care-worn. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Kerry really doesn’t look good. Although I wonder where they got the stretcher from. There’s a flurry of activity to treat her while David tells Dr. Bird he met…
Legion: Chapter 4 opens strangely, but that’s pretty much redundant with this series. This time, they open with what seems like a rehearsal for some 60’s themed tv show. The man who seems to be playing host seems to practicing his lines as he sets the stage for this week’s oddness, which gets even…
The strangeness that is Legion continues with “Chapter 3.” Given how odd the show is, I keep waiting for one of the episodes to randomly veer away from the Chapter title, but it hasn’t happened yet. Then again, the show has plenty of weirdness on its own, and probably doesn’t need to rely on episode…
“Chapter 2″ continues Legion’s kind of trippy story. It’s a very well crafted show with some really stunning visuals and some really interesting ideas. I’m not entirely sure why it’s so sharply separated from the X-Men movies, since the show’s on Fox, and Fox is the studio doing those films. It’s an even odder…
Legion is the latest in the current flood of super-powered television shows. In the comics, the character is the son of Charles Xavier, best known as Professor X, leader of the X-Men. Legion, whose real name is David Charles Haller, is a vastly powerful mutant, with a unique twist. In the comics, at least, he…
