‘Finally’ indeed, that needed to happen sooner this season.

Legion: it’s Breaking Bad, but with superpowers and trippy shit

I thought this episode was the least successful of the series so far. It had some great scenes but fell apart on some crucial stuff - I just didn’t buy at all Syd - an extremely intelligent person until now- falling so easily for Melanie’s obvious scheming tricks, not to mention not even guessing that it could be…

Let’s face, this show is just too ‘weird’ and experimental for a mainstream audience, especially of the demographic who’d normally be interested in mutants and comic book characters. The first season at least had a bunch of very obvious ‘check out these guys using their powers’ action scenes to keep that crowd hooked,…

I’ve not read the books but you’re not the first person I’ve heard say that. However at the risk of comparing apples to oranges I’d say the show is ‘good’ while the Expanse is borderline great.

I meant the Soderbergh version not Tarkovsky’s, which I’m embarrassed to say I’ve not seen yet

Love that movie, feel it’s one of the underrated classics of science fiction. The book even more.

“Take that Cancellation Missile!”
*head splashes onto windscreen*

For me this is so much more impressive an achievement than Jackson’s cheesy LotR adaptation, considering the quality of the source material (I’ve only read Leviathan Wakes and while the story and world-building are superb the prose itself is merely average, definitely not Tolkien-level). I feel like The Expanse is one…

and was nicknamed after a Tori Amos song?

Don’t forget “Space is only Noise” by Nicolas Jaar cued with the introduction of the crack/opium den.

Take a lesson from David Lynch everyone!

Missed out on one significant musical cue - “Space is only Noise” by Nicolas Jaar, second Jaar piece already this season. To be fair his stuff fits this show perfectly.

“Bad dream?”
“You know man, when you walk with the Lord the Lord walks with you...”

I’m in awe of this show. The way they pulled off this time jump was so virtuoso it felt like dunking all over every other sci-fi shows that ever existed. I was very impressed by season 1, slightly let down by 2 until the last couple of episodes but now this season it really seems to be hitting its stride. And to think…

The ship is made from significantly harder materials than the human body. Also I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure his body, or at least the parts of it that were secured to the seat, stayed intact (at least from the outside).

As they should. There are plenty of good actors on this show but I think him, Dominique Tipper, Steven Strait and Shoreh Aghdashloo were and still are the standout performers who really draw you in, and Jane was probably the best of those bunch while also having the best characters. I did miss him.

That’s a very interesting theory, but the problem with it is that Farouk is most certainly a narcissist and that whole presentation surely had something to do with him, so why would he explain narcissism as a delusion, and would he even be aware of it? I don’t think any narcissist is aware they are one, that would be…

And even tougher considering how little we know about Future Syd and whatever happened in her timeline.

Pretty sure that’s merely egotism by said writer and yourself, which is perhaps a lesser manifestation of the same phenomenon (ego dominance) but still significantly less bad.
