That was easily the best episode the show has done yet.
AoS only wishes it had an episode this good in its disastrous first season.

Lol, Legion could've been really special if it did more with its characters
It did though?
LOL @ Ty, aka the one who having the tougher job mastering his powers getting lapped again by Tandy when she gets to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber oil rig.
Well the whole season has been a display of her selfishness. The only times that things work out for her even for a little while is when she breaks out of that. I don't hate that about her though. I want to see her grow.

She says she just really hates the character, the shelfishness, backstabbing, ect, I think she just sees way too much of herself haha.
Damn, savage haha
I can't lie, I like her more than Tyrone, the frequent lack of morals (but she's ultimately capable of doing the right thing) makes her more compelling/interesting to me
This season is better than it has any right to be and what I love about it is that it wasn't released in dump format so it doesn't feel like a slog to get through unless you don't mind falling behind on discussions or have to watch out for spoilers.
I slow, ponderous show and it just works better when you have a week between episodes to let it sit with you and process it.
Season 1, Episode 17

Have we yet to have a show about superpowers handling that very well though?
My thoughts too. Too be fair if he got too good he would be unstoppable
5 more than anyone else, the Darkforce also was the only thing that could kill Genis
This is my fault. I should have explained better:
I am talking about post-season 1. If we were counting the original season, than Legion would deserve to be on your list too.
The Netflix shows seem to all have the best handled on HOW to do it, but not so much on how to do it well.
Not really, Legion isn't about that kind of stuff at all.
Same for AoS.
Though I guess Legends of Tomorrow is close enough.
Joe Pokaski is hinting at fantastical villains in the future:
They actually already hinted at Mister Jip in Episode 6:
The scene he talks about is this one:

Misfits handled being a show about powers but not becoming a show about fighting crime really well. That was a fantastic show from the first episode to the last.
I have always felt that it worked so well because it exists outside of the contemporary American Superhero tradition.
But still, fantastic example.
Good episode. I thought it was really odd last week that Ivan Hess was humming The Decemberists, but figured the tune was just similar. But no, he actually was singing that exact song....which wasn't actually playing in his life that we could see, but in the episode. So then I thought it was because the secret ingredient in her cookies is cinnamon, and they repeat it a billion times in the song....but the secret ingredient is cardamom.
So while I enjoyed the songs usage...WTF is the reason he's actually humming it. I don't expect an answer from anyone, I just wondered if anyone else thought it was weird.

Surprised the 2nd season hasn't been announced yet. It should start crewing up back in New Orleans around 8/5.
It's gotta be cloak & dagger lol. Legion is already renewed and iron fist season 2 is coming later this year.
Has there been any SHIELD or non-Defenders references? I can't recall.
No, and it kinda pisses me off. They should be mentioning the Avengers since they're public figures and are known to have powers. If ANYONE in this universe shows signs of powers, the first thing they'd do is compare themselves to the Avengers or be scared of SHIELD coming for them. All it takes is one line of dialog to connect it and that's it. I just don't understand why these shows don't just go all in on the connections when it's so easy, requires no CG/FX, and takes less than 5 seconds.
I think this was the best episode so far. Great uses of their powers, great character development, and tons of plot progression.
Tandy discovering her dad wasn't the idealized person she had in her head all these years, even if he was right about the rig. She really needs a better place to store her money though.
I had a feeling the confession w/Connors would be too easy. Damn at that refrigerator ending though.

Fantastic episode. The focus on the characters is really paying off now. Shame it probably put a lot of viewers off in the early episodes. I hope the word of mouth buzz is strong.
I'm glad they kept the 2 storylines separate with Tandy and Tyrone as children on the night of the rig explosion as the single link. It would have been so easy for the writers to connect Connors to Roxxon and make things convoluted.
The music usage is a bit heavy-handed but they sure do pick some great songs.

I felt that too. Kind of hard to betray someone when you're dead in a fridge though
Some reason SHIELD Is the only one not afraid to do so. Only show to get Thanos name dropped.
Also why do they at least not mention the Inhumans? No, not the shitty show but the events in the show. That got crazy enough that even politicians were openly talking about it.
You can easily argue that the movies move too quickly and are too busy to take note but not really true for the shows.
That Misty namedrop, loved it.
One thing I'm not sure about yet, is whether we're dealing with the Dark Dimension or the Fear Dimension? I know Agent Carter dealt with the Dark Dimension, but they keep saying the Terrors on the rig became that way because they were shown their greatest fear, which is what happened in AoS with the Fear Dimension.
So which one is it? Or am I totally wrong and they're both the same thing?

Watched the latest episode. So good.
I like that Tyrone is able to clearly control his power quite well considering how quickly he had to use it over and over. Both of them clearly got better from their experience helping Ivan Hess.
Holy shit at the fridging. O.O
Also one thing this show does really well is those mind landscape places. The whole theater and then the black and white truth behind the 'movie'...
You know, when they said this would be on Freeform I assumed, like many others did, that it would be a lot more... family friendly due to the channels reputation. In some ways this has some of the darkest material of any of the MCU TV shows.

I honestly like the subtle references better, the MCU serves as a setting which saves us from long exposition or arcs about discovering their powers, etc. They are in a world with superpowers, extraordinary isn't that out of the reach so people act accordingly. Only that with Sokovia Accords most enhanced individuals are going to remain hidden.
Anyway, great episode, and Cloak donning the cloak, nice!

That's because people still view it as ABC Family when it's more of a teens-twenties channel.
I think appealing to that demo was one of the reasons for the name change.
So, it sounds like this show has kept up the quality? I'm a sucker for anything Marvel so I've been meaning to sink my teeth into it. I held onto Runaways all season even though it got really campy. Barely got into Legion, cool concept but, judging replies in here, it's kinda lost the plot.
