Spoilers lie within in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the episode. Don't complain to us if your brain explodes after reading…###Now that's more like it. After last week's meandering trudge through a warped reality, the plot kicks properly back into gear as the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue races into the home straight. Not merely’barely was there a lot of satisfying development in Episode Seven, the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue had the smarts to put some of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's best perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mers toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her in different scenes and let them deliver exposition seamlessly without it ever becoming dull.###One of those duos was Bill Irwin as Cary Loudermilk and Jemaine Clement's Oliver Bird, who eventually’ultimately broke free of his ice cube astral plane existence to help the team free themselves from "Lenny"'s warped prison of the mind. And we learn that Oliver has figured out what "Lenny" truly is, beyond the description of a psychic parasite. Check out the Big Questions in/with regard to’concerning’regarding more on the mysterious Shadow King.###The scene with Irwin and Clement gave them some fun dialogue (courtesy of this week's writer, Jennifer Yale), wound them up and let them chatter, and the results were intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully funny. You can acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure an awful lot of useful inin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mation across if you possess’own’nurse perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mers as talented as these two. But they weren't the merely’barely ones giving their all this week.###Nope, after mostly sitting out the last episode, Dan Stevens was back in in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ce in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this one, after eventually’ultimately figuring out what was going on. And that was thanks to the projection of David's rational mind – Stevens again, using his own accent in/with regard to’concerning’regarding once – which of course is a British person gently explaining to an American what's really going on. And while the dual David scene could possess’own’nurse generated into another exposition-heavy slog, Stevens and director Dennie Gordon kept it light on its feet, set in a classroom as our hero figures out his own history. The series eventually’ultimately acknowledged his mutant parentage (we also see a quick flash of Professor X's wheelchair in one of the memory montages), and explained a lot more with regards to’concerning’with respect to what is actually going on with David. It was bracing to possess’own’nurse it all come out at last.###And while some series would simply stomp on the accelerator at this point, abandoning more stylistic moments in/with regard to’concerning’regarding pure plot and action, Legion instead took the opportunity to demonstrate why it is like no other reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue on TV at the moment. So the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous face-off between "Lenny" – eventually’ultimately revealed in/with regard to’concerning’regarding what it is – and Syd and Kerry cross-cut between scenes of Oliver, Melanie and Cary trying to save David and Syd in reality, and a wonderful silent movie technique that had Lenny threatening the others like some sort of mutant Charlie Chaplin.###Thankfully, the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue also found a more original way to wrap up the disappointingly pedestrian sub-plot of Kerry being threatened by The Eye, as Lenny takes him gruesomely out of commission because he's ruining "her" fun. RIP The Eye, at least in/with regard to’concerning’regarding now.###A grossly satisfying episode of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , which, while it perhaps appeared to wrap things up rather quickly, had one more stinger left to deploy with the arrival of Division Three and Hamish Linklater's now wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile ly scarred Interrogator we met back in episode one. Even given that the screener we watched was a rough cut, it was pretty much complete – despite’in spite of’albeit we can't guarantee Team Legion won't sneak something extra in in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the final version. They're tricksy that way. This was a great episode of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , rough cut or no, and given the last moment with the monster looking likely to break out again, we're eagerly awaiting next week's episode.###As the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's first season dashes to its conclusion in the next episode, we possess’own’nurse to wonder how much closer it will come to its mutant movie brethren. Just don't expect to see Logan reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ing up any time soon.###The Shadow King is "allegedly a multiversal manifestation of the dark side of the human consciousnesses, spawned by the first nightmare."
