Did anyone catch this? Definitely a different flare from what Marvel shows usually are. I liked it, and I'm curious to see where they take it from here.

I didn't. Can you explain it some? I thought I was going to be super into Preacher. I couldn't.

Noah Hawley - All you had to say.

It's set in the X-Men universe. The main character is Xavier's bastard child whom Xavier has no knowledge of (per the comics, anyway). He has incredible abilities, but he thinks it's all in his head and he is suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder.

It was a quirky first episode, but I liked it. I'll give it a chance going forward.

And you didn't like Preacher? WTF

Did you like Fargo, Buehler? The same guy behind that is doing this....

It was good but...weird. Little slow at times. But I liked it.

Sorry about Preacher, man, I just didn't dig it.

Yes. I will be checking it out.

I watch excorsyst serious, I on epi 3 nowe

This was an incredibly done episode. I really hope fox takes the xmen franchise away from Singer, and hands it over to this guy. The only negative I had for the entire show was:
. None of that ruined the previous 65 minutes of beautifully done cinematography and editing. Not to mention solid acting (Dan Stevens does a great american accent btw).

I would love to see Fox work the marvel model, but in reverse. Make a few different series/miniseries, and have them culminate in films for big boss battles. I would kill to see Hawley write/direct a Weapon X story line for Logan.

It was really good. Reminded me of clockwork orange.

I agree pretty much with bowener.



Eeeeeverything else was epic and fantastic.

Looks good. And that is my neighbor in the brown suit conducting the interview. I knew he was an actor, but that's cool. Come to think of it haven't seen him at the local breakfast joint in ages, maybe he can afford better digs now!

don't you mean 'you need an exorcist'? :D

Well, that was all over the place. Kind of hard to stay focused in a few parts, but still good.


No way to know for sure, but I think David's Yellow Eyed Devil might be

I am up through episode three and I am really digging this. Anyone else staying with it?

Oh yeah, I'm still watching.

The latest episode is......strange.

I'm starting to get the feeling that all of this is taking place in David's own mind, or he is otherwise incapacitated and someone is torturing him from the inside. I still think his monster is Mojo.

I don't think it is all in his mind but I am questioning who the bad vs good guys might be. If it isn't in his mind lets run down his list of things he can do...

1. Read peoples minds
2. Move shit with his mind
3. Teleport people to different locations

If he finds out he can control people he has reached just about God level.

I'm still watching but I can only watch it when I stoned.

Yes. He pretty much is. Very long, scroll down to "Powers and Abilities"...

This is one of the few shows I watch at the moment and the last two episodes have twisted my mind a little.The way the last episode ended has me wondering wtf.
Also if you have to be caught in a space/time rift you could have worse neighbors than a stuck-in-the-sixties beatnik of the psychedelic poetry variety.

I'll have to try that. Ready to give up at this point.

It took me forever to finally have it click, but Lenny is Tatiana in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. I could never place her face, and it was driving me nuts how I knew her (figured it out without looking it up, so I'm very proud of myself. Don't cheat me the small victories in life, people). Now I can move along with my day.

I think she was in Parks and Recs too without looking it up.

I never watched Parks and Rec. I need to Netflix it probably ASAP, never heard a bad thing about that show.

FX announced a second season yesterday.

I have no doubt it's the Shadow King.

They just recently leaked that info.... http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-true-iden...led-1793340305

That was a great episode.

Wow. I am really enjoying this show. I knew nothing of this character before starting the show but he is really compelling. It is a great cast too! Visually engaging too, much like Hannibal was for me.

Ability to absorb a person's psyche into his as an alternate personality and manifest their superhuman abilities when they are dominant, including: Telepathy Telekinesis Pyrokinesis Time travel, Reality warping

Parks and Rec is a quality sitcom, it starts off slow because it's trying to be a sequel to The Office, which it does OK but the hook of 'documentary' doesn't really explore all the situations possibilities. After the first mini-season, it shifts subtly to the personalities of the cast. Further, the writing tightens up as they keyed into the absurdist humor in trying to run local government with all the small time egos and gripes they have to deal with. It's not so much about the plot or the narrative as the little moments, situations and scenes.

All the actors are top-notch as is the writing. It's not mind-blowing or revolutionary, but it's comfortable and endearing like an inside joke between lifelong friends. Kind of like hanging out with wisecracking buddies like on Cheers and Friends.

The last three episodes have been fantastic, and the season finale was the best of the season.

Just watched the first episode. What a knockout. Quirky and the visual style is amazing


Can't wait to watch the rest.

I had to go back and watch that again. I didn't remember any damn sphere. They ran stuff after the credits. That was a little messed up but I guess going with the show that screws with your head... why not.

Yeah, it's a post-credits sequence setting up the next chapter.

This IS a Marvel property, remember.

I loved the first season. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Nice

All of this especially the hope that they didn't peak in season one. One of the very few tv shows I watched episodes one at a time instead letting a few pile up on the dvr.

Tuesday 9:00 PM.

Thanks for the reminder. DVR is set.

Trippy as hell..

Mustached twins... ****ing yikes....

Yeeaaaa, this 1st episode...uh....well......they're jumping right back into with both feet for sure. I would have rather they slowed their roll a bit and let me settle back into it.

I'm just glad this show wasn't out during the late 70's. Some purple barrel or blotter together with this show might have been way too trippy back then.:D

Yeah this is easily the best show on television.

Absolutely brilliant on every level. I don't know if I've ever seen a show of this nature.

I can't remember anything that even comes close. It's such a mind ****.....but in a good way. Hell, I'd be hard pressed to give an accurate, concise description of it.

This entire thing is basically a Bob Newhart dream, right?

Whelp. I'm right back to having no ****ing idea what is real or not real.

The fact that the opening narrator was Jon Hamm is not going to be a throwaway thing, is it?

I ****ing love this trippy / weird show.

This show is so good I don't have any reservations at all about paying the outrageous season fee to see it without waiting for it to show up on hulu. I will watch it repeatedly each episode. First watch is for the visceral reaction, and as strange and confusing as it can be, nothing ever feels nonsensical. I am so impressed by that. It might be because the visual design is so strong that it can hold me snugly through the insanity, or I guess delusion this season. Those repeating shapes and colors are a language at this point. Just masterful work.

Me too. Gonna have to not be on my tablet when I watch this show.

This season isn't nearly as good as last season.

I "think" it's as good as last season, but man oh man, is this show WAY the hell out there. If David would just become a touch more assertive, it would probably boost interest.

Hmmm, that’s a good point. I keep waiting for him to step up and start wrecking worlds.

Yeah, very much so.

I think this shit, all of it, is all inside David's mind, minus the Shadow King. SK has him captive somewhere, and he's putting the screws to him by living out this reality in his mind. David is literally every single person on this show, minus the Shadow King.

Whoah.
That show is one big mind ****.

Why are we not talking about this more? Jesus Christ. **** Farouk. David is going to pound your ass now! God damn. I was legit crying at the end of that episode.

Ha! Was just coming in here to bump this up!

Farouk has been toying with David this whole time, and bringing Lenny back seemed to be the final straw. Hopefully this means David isn't going to hold himself back any longer, or try to play good guy mediator between Farouk and everyone else.

This show is just completely ****ed, but I love it.

**** Farouk. David better pound his ass into the sand.

Lets put it this way... You don't want to see an angry Hulk? David laughs at that. Thanos? Childs' play. You piss off David? I'd say run, but there is no where you can run to.

What in the actual shit is going on with this show?

I can't say for sure. The only thing I know is I can't quit watching.

Yeah, most definitely.

We got a glimpse of what David can potentially do (I think), now let's see if he WILL do it against Farouk (I said it earlier - I think David is literally every character in the show minus the Shadow King, and this episode kind of reinforced that idea for me. Farouk just randomly showed up a couple of times making me think David is literally his prisoner and Farouk is literally in his head, torturing him).

Ok. I am officially out of guesses as to what in the hell is exactly happening. I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride from here on out, I guess.

David could be at Franklin Richards power level in this continuity, and he's been ****ed with enough that he's engineering events to keep himself sane while being imprisoned/sedated

I gave up on it a few episodes ago. Loved season one but this season is just...I really don’t want to work that hard.

The last few episodes have really stalled the momentum Legion had going after Amy died. I have the latest episode DVRed but I'm not particularly excited to watch it.

"Is the professor here?" Was that a reference to Charles?

I admire your persistence. I too have them on DVR, maybe I'll try again after West World concludes.

Renewed for season 3.

If they keep off Twitter...

The second season kind of stalled in the middle. However, the final was really really good. Season 3 could be epic. Lenny and David are amazing in this show. Some of the best visuals and acting on TV.
