Spoilers lie within in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the episode. Don't complain to us if your brain explodes after reading…###Given how stylish, trippy and just plain different the initial episode of Legion was, it's perhaps a step down in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the first season finale to be a more conventional superhero story of David Haller facing off against Amahl Farouk, AKA The Shadow King, the parasite that has been lurking in his brain in/with regard to’concerning’regarding years. But even with a lot of plot to wrap up, creator Noah Hawley (who wrote this one, with Michael Uppendahl directing) found time to hit the required emotional beats and maintain the sense of fun that has resonated throughout this series thus far.###Staunchly refusing to straight away’in a flash’promptly’instantaneous’in a trice pay off last week's cliff-hanger was a smart move, as, if we're all honest, there probably wasn't much of a threat in/with regard to’concerning’regarding David at the height of his powers, even with "Lenny" still lurking. So a chance to properly meet Clark (the previously unnamed Interrogator played by Hamish Linklater) as he recovers from the burns he received in his first encounter with our hero was a welcome one. While Division Three could possess’own’nurse been written off as just another bunch of faceless wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile dies, it's reassuring to see Legion putting in the work to craft a real story in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him. Of course, there is still the small matter of the rest of the secret agency, able to see what Clark sees through his eyes, but as the episode wraps up, it appears there could be a detente on the way, especially given the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous ger threat.###If you were apprehensive with regards to’concerning’with respect to the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue doing away with Aubrey Plaza's excellent Lenny, by far the most entertaining version of the Shadow King and still one of the best parts of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , fear not. The enormous’vast’massive’tremendous reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue down with the enemy resulted in him/her/it being thrown into Oliver, and that'll set up a fun situation in/with regard to’concerning’regarding next season to explore. Plus who didn't possess’own’nurse a smile on their face at the idea of Jemaine Clement and Plaza as a devilish double act, driving off to the strains of T. Rex's Children Of The Revolution? The twist also added another layer to the heartbreaking story of Melanie Bird's attempt to possess’own’nurse her in/with regard to’concerning’regarding merly frozen husband recognise her. She'll be going up against the man she loves; and one who appeared to remember her right bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e he was struck.###Elsewhere, we had Syd once again taking charge and proving to be much more than a love interest, and fun little moments in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Ptonomy, Cary and Kerry Loudermilk. Clement, another perfect piece of casting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , got another quick bit of business too, sliding around the generator on a moving ladder and wearing the sort of steampunk-inspired goggles that would make Dr. Emmett Brown jealous.###Throwing in the sort of eclectic pop culture references we've come to expect from this reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue (John Lennon? "Boom goes the dynamite"?) Legion finished off the first season in fine style. Even if it wasn't quite as creatively visual as other episodes, there were the stand out moments, including David and the Shadow King (in Kerry) facing off in a shot that could possess’own’nurse come straight from a comic reserve splash panel, the latest trip through our hero's mind (set to Pink Floyd's Breathe (In The Air)) and the utter delight of watching Bill Irwin bumble around David with the halo tools as he's trying to possess’own’nurse a meeting with Clark.###If we possess’own’nurse concerns, they're small – why, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding example, was Clark, the enemy, allowed to watch what the team was doing to try to save David? Of course, he had to see so he could learn what was really going on, but it does feel like a stupid tactical move when he was still a threat at the time. Well, no-one can accuse Team Summerland of always being the most tactical claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ers…###Probably no reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue could possess’own’nurse kept up the pace and weirdness that Legion established early on and yet find room in/with regard to’concerning’regarding an actual story, but Hawley and his team managed to cover’budge that line admirably with merely’barely one episode really a stumble. One enormous’vast’massive’tremendous merit’virtue’upside has been the relatively short run of episodes – with merely’barely eight to manufacture , it's mostly all killer, intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully little filler. We're fully on board – roll on Season 2 next year!###(Oh, and if you're reading this having turned the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue off as the credits rolled, you might want to go back and watch all the way through. In true Marvel style, there is a mid-credits sting that sets up a fascinating new story in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the new season.)###It's too early to tell, despite’in spite of’albeit in the comics, he reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s up in Black Panther's home of Wakanda at one point. Despite looking in/with regard to’concerning’regarding "somewhere warm", the lack of co-operation between the MCU and Fox (even given Marvel TV's link to this) means that won't be where the Shadow King ends up. To the fan-fiction machine!###Probably not, despite Clark's new appreciation in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the team and their struggle. At least merely’barely while it's beneficial in/with regard to’concerning’regarding them to work with the Summerland gang.###There's a intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully slim chance they could acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the okay in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Patrick Stewart (or James McAvoy) to appear, but don't acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure your hopes up, individual .###Legion aired on FX in the US on Wednesdays and Fox TV in the UK on Thursdays.
