Spoilers lie within in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the episode. Don't complain to us if your brain explodes after reading…###As we hit episode five of this initial run, it's becoming eliminate’remove that in some ways, Legion is behaving more like a conventional superhero reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue (or movie), but one split into chunks, as despite’in spite of’albeit it's had an encounter with the main character's powerful mind. We've had the expository establish -up, and now comes the action-packed race to the conclusion. But don't claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate we mean that in a negative way: the series continues to impress in a myriad of ways. Just consider all the different styles, applied to the siege on the Division 3 base… It takes real assurance to stage action beats this way, and proves that the creative team (Tim Mielants is director here, with Peter Calloway providing the script) possess’own’nurse a eliminate’remove vision and truly want to make something out of the ordinary.###Legion also has the merit’virtue’upside that, thanks to the different personalities (at least one other that we can now pinpoint) lurking in David Haller's noggin mean that he serves as both protagonist and antagonist of the story, keeping the plot personal and never feeling like it's just some fundamental exploration of superpowers. But bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e all hell breaks loose, there's a chance in/with regard to’concerning’regarding something most individual will probably possess’own’nurse figured out long bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e our hero (villain? Anti-hero? All of the above?) – there was a way in/with regard to’concerning’regarding he and Syd to possess’own’nurse their sexy time toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her. So there's the scene in the "white Room", where David and Syd enjoy their first (technically second, counting the body-swapping contact in Clockworks) kiss and more. The scene is played well by both Dan Stevens and Rachel Keller, with Syd initially unsure and nervous bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e embracing their time toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her. There's also a chance to explore some more backstory in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Ms. Barrett, as she relates the skewed and distinctly awkward story of her first sexual encounter.###Of course, the rug is pulled out from both Syd and eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone else with the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous reveal. David, as the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's title suggests and previous scenes possess’own’nurse hinted, is not alone in his mind. It's still not utterly eliminate’remove , but it appears that the representation of Lenny/Benny, the Angry Boy and the Devil with the yellow eyes are all a parasitic entity that snuck in there when he was young. A peculiar ly chilling reveal is the security camera footage from within Division 3 that reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s the devil as David striding through the place, vaporising the guards. In fact, the whole sequence of the assault on the compound and our team's investigation of it is another highlight in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue . Check out the silent footage of Melanie, Ptonomy, Cary and the rest pantomiming their way through the establish ing, stepping past guards who possess’own’nurse been merged with the floor or simply wiped out of existence.###All through the episodes thus far, Stevens has played David with a hint of edge and menace to the otherwise earnest and confused character we've come to know. It's all been establish ing to the idea that the entity (most likely entities plural given the comic reserve 's use of multiple personalities in one mind) is a malevolent in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ce theat has been lurking like a backseat propel r, ready to take charge whenever it found an opportunity. And that final scene, with the gang seemingly locked in a group therapy session in David's mind, their brains dulled to keep them compliant? Terrifying in its mundanity.###Great work from the cast again, and some eye-catching’good-shaped’appealing’charming’fascinating’gorgeous ly detoken ed shots, peculiar ly the wobbly angles and dreamlike camerawork in the assault on Division 3. Now we just want to know how the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's team intends to top what it has already done.###Given that eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone from the main team is seemingly trapped in the faux group therapy session in the end, we can merely’barely wonder. Perhaps Oliver will decide to re-join the real world and use his own appreciable power to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure them out?###Our best guess is that it's either the parasite's doing, or David – who seemed spurred to fight back by the threat against Syd – taking them there so they can be relatively safe. If we had to favour one, we'd say the in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer, as Lenny was the psychologist…###Legion airs on FX in the US on Wednesdays and Fox TV in the UK on Thursdays.
