Legion
Season Three 10/10
Full
of spoilers. There were so many times during this season that I
forgot to take a damn breath. Wow. That was great. I was sitting here
a couple days ago trying to figure out what to watch and remembered
that Legion was on Hulu. The idea was to watch two episodes a day.
That went out the window after watching two last night and all the
rest today so this will not be a recap of every episode. That is
difficult with this kind of show anyway so this is mostly gonna be me
talking about what I enjoyed and gushing over it. I also see from my
reviews of season one and season two that I have given every season
10/10. That is a first for any series I've ever watched. It sucks
that not as many people are/were talking about how great this show
was.
Something
I need to point out that I loved about this series is that it had an
actual ending. I read that the writers planned it that way so there
are no loose ends. It was not canceled with a lot more story to go.
This starts off in a weird way that by now I am used to. I know that
whatever is confusing me now will make sense later. This young woman
is listening to audio about how to time travel properly. She starts
finding clues all around the city that leads her to this building
where she is surrounded by clothing racks and answering questions
about who she is looking for. Once it is answered she ends up meeting
David who now has a cult. Lenny is his second in command and very
possessive of him.
David
needs a time traveler to do something for him. Division 3 invades the
cult and Syd shoots David dead. Time rewinds and Syd shoots him
again. By the third time the young woman, called Switch, lets him
know that this has happened before so they change plans. Farouk,
working with Division 3, wants to attack in a different way. The
third time they show up the entire place is gone.
David
wants to go back in time and fix things. Each time they travel it
gets more dangerous. Switch says that there are demons that look like
blue cats that will attack them if they go back too far. David does
not care. He has Lenny capture Cary to build him something to make
Switch more powerful since he can't travel with her. Once he is able
to all hell begins to break loose. And time demons. Fuck, those
things are creepy. I have seen the Doctor Who episodes with the
Weeping Angels. Fuck those. These things are way worse.
This
entire season focuses on David believing that he is a good person
that deserves love...even when he is jettisoning friends into the
voids of space. Yeah. He does that. While David is the focus this
show does a really good job of showcasing other characters and giving
them stories. Syd gets to talk with the younger version of herself.
She also gets to live an entire new life and take everything she
learned from it into her current one. Syd is such a damn hero this
season. There is a scene where she is trying to explain to David how
much she loved him and he hurt her and it will not sink he. He
promises to fix it. He keeps saying that as if things will be fine.
Kerry
and Cary are still my favorites. Cary is still a bad ass but showed
more vulnerability. Kerry has not gotten any tougher as the series
has progressed but he is used to Cary being outside of his body more
though she ages the longer she stays out (which is why he is an older
man and she is a young woman). I take a statement back. Kerry has
gotten tougher. After Cary is beaten and battered he absorbs her back
into his body knowing that she will emerge freshly healed but that he
will now have every injury she received. Their last scene together
was touching as fuck.
I am
leaving so much out. I haven't even talked about Charles Xavier being
involved. Yes. There is an entire episode dedicated to how he and
David's mother Gabrielle met. How she tried to raise David with her
mental illness and Xavier meeting Farouk for the first time before he
infected David's mind. God, this show is good! This music scenes were
great as always. The acting was perfect. The effects, the music, the
set design, the writing, the directing. I love everything about this
show and am so happy that I ever started watching it. If you have
never seen this show you need to check it out even though I have
spoiled shit. There is still so much I haven't said.
