You know, I think we can thank several factors for this:

Eh, ratings always "fall" a little for this kind of show (the confusing kind where you have to pay attention and still might not piece it all together before the end) - heck, for almost all shows, premieres usually see much higher ratings than episodes a few weeks down the line.

It would be nice to have more people to talk about it with, yeah? That said, even keeping its current viewing numbers for season 2 would be a success - I chuckle at people who think it is "low" rated because they're probably thinking in terms of the Big Four networks down lower, not niche cable markets like FX. For FX…

But…haven't they been running ads for the return of Fargo?? I don't even watch it but it seems like there's been ads for it every time I watch "Legion". Unless those are for Season 3, in which case "oh, I could see your point" and never mind.

Why is there more than one person who seems to have thought it was a "self-contained miniseries"? It was very definitely discussed before the premiere as a "first season" with a very short number of episodes, which could easily continue (the creator has many ideas and plot threads left to explore, according to the…

They didn't say it was "one and done" - at all. They never, ever "pledged" anything of the sort so I don't know where you're getting the idea it was intended as a "one and done" and "completely close-ended" show let alone a "miniseries" since every part of that is utterly wrong.

That makes SO MUCH more sense than what Jared Leto actually did. So what you're saying is, he should have read a bunch of Batman comics from various eras and talked to some literal violent criminals (of the kind who got off on mental illness exemptions - I say exemptions but in reality what usually happens is the…

Yup!

He did, on the other hand, send bullets to Viola Davis

"I could be wrong, but I honestly think people like it for the same reason they liked BATMAN BEGINS: Not because it was a good movie, but it was easier to digest than what came immediately before it. Oh, and so they've convinced themselves it was better than it was."

The only things I really know him from are movies where he plays a smart-mouthed…something. Often with lots of action/stunt-work.

Aaaaaand it's official: now "Shield" no longer looks like a real word to me.
