+1 episode for this season, now 11, might be a good sign for season 3, or might be a chance to wrap it up.

This show needs a third season.

Fuck that is trippy. So Lenny in his sister's body. Got to see Aubrey Plaza nude, so that was nice.

This show is topping season one on the mind-fuck scale.

Was it just me, or did they do something to Aubrey Plaza's face? From the second they brought her in, she looked "off", and I'm not just referring to the blue eyes. They seemed to bulge from her face more, and her facial structure wasn't the same.

I'm guessing they tried to "blend" her more into David's sister's face. It was unsettling and very effective, if I wasn't imagining it.

Oh they definitely did something. Not sure if it was with makeup or CGI, but she definitely looked different.

Is Oliver the Shadow King or is the Farouk the Shadow King, and if the latter who is Oliver?

Is it on the verge of getting cancelled? I was thinking about starting it.

You should be watching it regardless.

But it's debatable, it looks expensive and doesn't have great ratings, but it's critically acclaimed and doing decently enough in DVR ratings. The addition of an 11th episode is usually a great sign, I was just being pessimistic.

All the scenes with Farouk and Oliver are really just Oliver talking to Farouk in Oliver's mind. Remember, Farouk is disembodied. Other people can't see him.

On Network TV it’s a good thing. Here... considering they started filming in September of last year, they probably just shot/wrote too much and didn’t want to cut anything so they turned it into another episode.

Oliver is Melanie's (Jean Smart's) husband. He's the current host (following the events of Season 1) of Farouk Amahl, the Shadow King.

I dont know if this season is really doing it for me. It is just so out there. Has anything even actually happened so far this year?

That’s my issue with the show. It’s awesome in an out there, artistic, visual way. But it’s so abstract, we don’t know what’s going on most of the time. There is only so much of that to take before something is explained. I’ve let the last 4 episodes build up. Hopefully better as a binge.

I just caught up on a couple of weeks. Right now, this is my only "MUST WATCH" show each week (normally -- been too busy with work the last two weeks).

If you are viewing the show in that light ("Has anything actually happened so far?") then you are bound to be sorely disappointed and hate the show. If you need something to happen each week, then stick to the rote procedural shows (like CSI:Jersey Shore or Chicago Zoning Enforcement) that permeate the airwaves.

Legion is an experience. You need to sit back, sit tight, hang on, and just let the show wash over you with its nuances. Things happen not just every week, but in almost every frame. You may not know what it was for some time though.

I hope this doesn't need saying, but just in case ... you need to start at the beginning. This isn't something you can jump into.
