Chapter 7

This episode is TV at its most brilliant. Legion is the highest level of TV on right now and sometimes is aware of its own creative superiority and gets indulgent. There's a dance scene by Lenny in a previous episode that is a good example of that. However, episode 7 of Legion is witnessing flawlessness and genius that I've never seen on TV before. I'm not even a comic book person. Be willing to be an active viewer because it's more than worth the time and effort.

This show, every episode, makes me feel as if I am truly experiencing a mutant's mind. This is what every show or movie about people with mind powers ought to look like. The visuals, the music, the fractured reality, and yet, the narrative moves forward. The creative minds who brought this to life should really receive every award possible. I want this series to go on. I wish the season finale were not so soon. Moar! Moar!! Moar!!! If they can keep this up, I hope this series never goes away. I am already waiting for the next season. It cannot arrive soon enough! This has been an incredible ride, and I am already missing it. I look forward to the finale, and I regret its arrival. Please FX, keep this show! Our minds need this show!

I can't review this without spoilers except to say that it's a great work of art. As out there as it gets, it stays grounded throughout. Flights of fancy as in prior episodes (e.g., dance sequences, animation sequences for backstory exposition, etc.) are one thing, but it's hard to maintain urgency without restoring to formula. Every shot and every cut in this episode is bespoke. It's some of the best writing, directing, and editing I've ever seen, and Aubrey Plaza's performance is off the charts.

This is one hands down one of the best comic book shows ever made for sure

(Legion: Chapter 7) does great turning this cozy campfire that the show started to a volcano spewing lava, just magnificent work, all this phenomenal artistic and psychedelic feel that that chapter 7 has was just so amazing to watch, didn´t feel bored at anytime.

About: chapter 7 lets us get a little breathing room by lowering the tension and giving us a satisfying result of what David and his friends did in the last 2 episodes, that led up to this moment in time.

Amazing episode guys, go watch it!!!

(11/10)

Shortened Summary: chapter 7 is a satisfying result of the great tension ep 5 & 6 build, which makes it the best episode yet with such amazing directing that turns chapter 7 into tv-show art.
