1st review of an Legion episode.
This episode explores the Syd's life through the years before meeting David. Its an interesting exposition and also shows what drives her as a person in her adult years.
Having been through the institution and surviving it by escaping it in season 1 and then finding, David again after losing him at the end of season 1, we finally get to the core of her being.
Someone wrote that its the weakest episode so far. Maybe they were looking for another pop corn episode with guns and deaths?
But, as important as actions and flashy scenes are, if there isn't any emotion in it, its just another pointless moment in television. I am sure all of us who watch this episode, will come back to it over and over again, long after the season is done.
This is a love story, after all, about two lovers, albeit with especial powers. And, its this love that drives the series. Even in season 2 episode 1, Syd tells, David to never lie to her. Isn't that what every lover wants? Never to be lied to because that's what inevitably kills a relationship.
And if you have seen the previous episodes, then you have seen, David, tell Syd the truth and now, here in this episode she tells him the truth about herself. That's more powerful than any flashy explosion death episodes.
