Spoilers Legion season 2

Apparently, on Legion...

I would so buy doughnuts from the Dead Sea Donuts submarine.

Do you think Fukyama is supposed to be a delusion bird under the helmet?

 

What's a delusion bird?

 

Well, whatever this is:

Delusion creature? hatchling?

 

Ah, gotta, the icky deformed-looking thing that hatched, the creature representing a delusion.

In answer to your question, I don't know, I suppose it could be, but it wasn't what occurred to me when we saw under his basket/helmet. The thing on wheels rolling around Jean Smart's character Melanie Bird struck me as much more similar, though. My first thought was that maybe what we saw under the basket was Fukyama's natural appearance.

 

I took that as symbolic. The "bird" was introduced in the Jon Hamm segments as a visual metaphor for a delusion, so I don't think it's something with a physical existence. It might indicate that Fukuyama has a delusion, or induces delusions in others, or is a mass delusion, or something.

 

Oh I loved that. I was like, did they really just say that?

 

Was there a real marvel character in the comics that looked like Admiral Fukuyama? I've got this image in my head but I can't find anything on Google.

 

I don't know about Marvel, he reminds me of the three storms from Big Trouble in Little China.


BTW, Fukuyama would be the more correct spelling but the captioning shows his name as "Fukyama".
EDIT: Double-checked and so do the end credits...

 

That's just wrong.

 

When I look at Fukyama, I always think "basket case."

 

So, Fahrouk "gave" Amy's body to Lenny? Do I have that right?

David's reaction to that little flashback(?) when he was talking to Lenny was so creepy and sad. With all the stuff tha's happened to him, we'd never seen him cry.

Really liked Oliver and Fahrouk's banter. Wonder if Oliver is serious about knowing how to kill Fahrouk.

This season seems slightly more straight forward to me. Enjoying it tremendously.

 

Yup. That's why David reacted with such horror as he saw the memory of the conversion.

 

If future Syd is to be believed, David killed Farouk in that version of the timeline.

So maybe Oliver kills Farouk this time around?

 

Or maybe future Syd just thinks David killed him and it was actually Oliver.

Or future Syd is lying or she's being manipulated.

 

Usually I cringe at a lot of the remakes of classic songs that you hear these days... but what they did with the Tom Petty song was great.

I think this is my favorite episode of the season so far.

 

Well, that episode didn't exactly move the ball down the field plot-wise. Like, at all. It could almost have been a season 1 episode except for the flashbacks of season 2 stuff. Still enjoyable, though...

 

Seriously, what the fuck was that?

Kudos, though, to whoever decided that a mouse singing Roxy Music's "Slave to Love" was a good idea.

 

um, yee-ah.....

Though I had to laugh as I thought what a nerd I was thinking that scene looked like A Clockwork Orange and then the Droogs showed up...

The AVClub review has some interesting thoughts on what it all means with a couple of things I missed. I think it's worth checking out.

 

A bunch of things I missed. I may have had some inklings of it, but I was pretty much "What was that all about?" for the rest of the night. I wish the episode had done something to make it clearer that "our" David was actually witnessing or visiting these other worlds, looking for an escape. The only thing that suggested it to me was in the "droogs" scene when Homeless David said "I have no more use for this world."

 

Thanks for pointing me to The AVClub, @Mr. Adventure . I totally missed that evil-billionaire David was a David-still-possessed by Farouk.
