I never thought a SuperHero TV show could get this terrifying. In the previous episodes we kinda got a grip of the horrifying power of David and the Yellow Eyes Demon, but it was never really serious, and it was like rainbow and sunshine comparing to this one. This episode shows us the true potential of David's power, and let's not forget, the Shadow King. When David starts singing "Rainbow connection", we get the hints right there about the existent of the demon. David knew that this monster has always been hiding under the beautiful illusions in his mind, as King, as Lenny. The scene in the old house was truly the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed in a TV show, not even AHS can compare. Making everything muted gives the moment 10 times the horror it already is. FX is doing great with this TV show, excellent episode, re-thinking about my hope of becoming a mutant now.

Just brilliant. This show is just brilliant. This episode shows what truly David is capable of, or better yet it shows what an innate monster's capable of when he gets his hands on the power to do anything. This episode captures the essence of horror so brilliantly all I could do was hold onto my bed sheet and hope that my eyes don't shut.
For those who haven't seen it, I would just say just get ready, you are up for a ride. In this ride, Fx is going to amaze the s%*t out of you!
Hats of to the director for directing this episode. Well thought, well enacted, and a very well deserved 10/10.

Ep4 I saw the bait but now I'm hooked

This is the defining episode for me at least that made me a believer and loved Legion!!!! Keep in mind this is after hearing all the talk that this series is all style and no substance.
Episode 4 was amazing but this one knocked it out of the park with a superb last 15 minutes! And that ending...wow!
I think my favorite thing I've seen besides the spoiler in ep4, is in ep4 when we see David on the security monitors and he snaps his fingers, demonstrating how powerful he is but..m
This episode was very experimental, really like this whole series is reminding me of...wait for it...community! Just the creativeness and the unique vibe of creating a genius.
I've put this series off until June 2018 because I had my reservations hearing it compared to a very popular series that imo is just ok to me. So I assumed this series would have no story and plot but the surrealism only...wrong! It has everything to make a truly unique experience! That's exactly what it is an experience. I think episode 5 really defines what this show is about, well for me at least since it's the latest I've seen.
So, with my strict rating system where I rarely give a 10 out, this episode deserves one for making a fan out of me and now giving me a fun amount of episodes to binge.
The hype is real and the hate is fair too. I can see this going over some people's minds just like really creative shows did in the past(not to sound pretentious or condescending), I actually dont mean to insult anyone who dislikes or like any TV series, hey, good for you to find an outlet from reality. What I mean is sometimes a series can be ahead of it's time so some people may think and feel it doesnt fit in.
Hey, I'm not a fan of TP and everyone seems to compare this to that and lord knows I've watched it 3x thinking it had to be me, but sometimes some shows just dont click.
This one absolutely does, however! I love it! I suggest keeping an open mind and watching it while you're alert and fully awake!

Pure marvel quality horror

Warning: Spoilers
Okay, this is the best episode of Legion. Holy s***, was this scary. The scene with no audio was creepy as s****, and I started hugging my pillow, cause Legion can get scary, like, horror movie scary, and it did. We found out Lenny's the real evil guy, and David's powerful as hell. Boom, there goes your brain, then boom, you suddenly merge with the ground. David also, is a really good singer. He even made an alternate reality where he and Sydney could be together. They got into business and Syd made a few confessions. Then at the end, Lenny turns out to be evil. And then suddenly, they go into the alternate reality. Then the devil with yellow eyes follows, Then they go to a whole other reality, (or they just, traveled back in time) where they're back at Clockworks. And Lenny's the teacher! Well, wasn't this just a ride? Marvel violent horror movies, with no audio. and one more thing, rainbow connection!
