Legion is probably the best mindfuck TV show right now

I hate capeshit movies, they are entertaining for exactly an hour and a half, then everybody forgets them since they have absolutely no value (by the way I was never fan of comic books either). Some do have some value as having interesting plots, but that's beside the point. And I have especially low opinion on TV shows from Marvel/DC whatever, however, Legion changed my mind 360 degrees. In all honesty, it is on par with movie Inception right now, and show Mr.Robot (as being dark and very original).

3rd episode was insane. The music, the scenes, everything it was perfect. It is the only capeshit show I saw more than one episode (I tried Flash, too cringey, and one or two others, but I never was a fan of low budget tv shows, especially if they involve superheroes.)

P.S. Oh, and by the way, fuck IMDB. Today I learned boards were closed, well, they were the ONLY reason I went there so not going back. They wrote their death sentence with this dumb move and lose millions of visitors very quickly.

Not a dull moment. And the season ended perfectly (except for poor Oliver)

I'm sure next season will be longer (or I hope it will be anyway).

10 episodes for it have been confirmed!

Outstanding! Thanks for the heads up, Dreamers! Do we know when it will premier?

No, I doubt even Hawley knows right now. Some time in 2018 is all that has been said, so far, I believe. Hey...at least it's not gonna be more than a year like some others!

I would say about the same time it premiered this year, but those sorts of things can change after a first season. Still, I'd wager at least somewhere around there give or take a week or month. But, nothing has been confirmed! It also depends on when they get those scripts done, I think Hawley likes to have all of them written before production so that takes time.

That's sorta what I thought. Thanks for the info, but 2018??? HOLY SHIT!!! My withdrawal symptoms just got worse.

Guess I'll have to survive on Fargo, Better Call Saul, Twin Peaks etc. until then.

Did you think we'd get two seasons in one year?! Hah, that's virtually unheard of...and with scheduling, cast demand, Hawley's many projects, and needing to write it and then actually film...well, ya get why it takes a while 😋

But yes, the hiatus will be HELL. That's why I was hoping we could have some more in depth discussions here, but I guess we'll see about that. In the mean time, I plan on binging it...and then probably binging it some more after some time, lol

No not really, but I'm greedy. Just plain greedy.

I plan to monitor this board for more engaging and intelligent conversations.

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

I'm greedy too, haha! Legion all day, every day, dammit!
I don't know if people plan on sticking around. I asked earlier and didn't get many replies so we'll just have to see if it stays active or not. Obviously, me and my big mouth, I'd love it to...and clearly there's a lot we could discuss, but it's all up to whether others want that or not too. If not that's cool also, I just thought I'd put that out there and ask!

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 8 years ago

I'll hang around.
