Chapter 7

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 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!

Hate to be repetitive, but wow indeed. This episode was like a beautifully orchestrated piece of music. Part of it was the fabulous use of music, part of it the well-choreographed scenes, which - unlike in too many of the previous episodes - never felt random, confusing, or pointless; part of it was great cinematography, fabulous use of color, standout performances from Stevens and Plaza, and a few neat effects that I won't spoil for you. It was probably the artiest episode yet, but in a very good way. This episode had a strong narrative - a lot of things HAPPENED, unlike in the last few episodes, and it has a mind-blowing climax to amazing music. Loved it. If they could just make each episode this good, Legion would be one of the best shows now on TV.

This was, hands down, the best episode of the season so far. It has all the elements of a signature Legion episode - well-chosen music, stellar cinematography, brilliant acting and an excellent overall ambiance. But it had one thing in addition that made it stand out from the rest of the season: linearity.

I believe, for the first time we were able to follow the story in a linear fashion without the confusing time-line jumps. Furthermore, a lot of the convoluted concepts from earlier episodes were elucidated pretty well in that 'blackboard session.'

Finally, with that cliffhanger of an ending, I will be very interested to see how the season progresses next week.

Holy effing cow, this episode was insane!!! It's like 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' made love to 'Inception', and this was their crazy beautiful baby. What a mindfu** of a psychedelic thrill ride and what a celebration of creativity and inspired filmmaking. Episode 7 of 'Legion' just showed what television can do when artists have free reign and are not hindered by the necessity to aim for a mainstream audience.

What Noah Hawley and his team have achieved with 'Legion' so far can't be praised enough; this is what it looks like when filmmakers take risks and really try to create something unique, fresh and new - and with complete and utter disregard for conventions. So far, this whole show has been a firework of inventive visuals (combined with perfect musical choices) and clever ideas, but this episode in particular is nothing short of a television masterpiece. Outstanding and just: WOW! 10 stars out of 10.
