I’m pretty sure both David and Syd are supposed to be very intelligent and have mostly been that way until this episode. I feel like it was just a patch of bad writing... hopefully just a one-off though and not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

The thing is when he sleeps he really just turns into Christian Slater and goes around town planning conspiracies so it’s not such good sleep.

I’m guessing she is, but whose plan do you think it is, David’s or Farouk’s?

‘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.
