Chapter 12

This entire episode felt like busy work. It could of been a 1 minute episode, and explained everything that happened. I would of been happier than wasting an hour of my life on run-on nonsense. This episode takes place where it left off, inside Syd's maze. It repeats itself 4 times as he tries to figure it out. The only significant storyline takes place in the last 2 min.

I like this show but this episode is just garbage.. just watch last 5 minutes of this episode, you won't miss a thing. You're welcome!

Out of the 12 parts there are two that I'd say are possibly the best episodes but part 12 is my personal favorite of the series this far and is the fourth of season 2.

This episode left a huge imprint on me leaving me with huge emotional impact executed so incredibly, that I barely blinked this whole episode.

Syds maze is much like mine and much like David's. Facing adversary and it molding and shaping you to become stronger as an individual! The speech given at the very end is so moving and gripping!! It leaves me flabbergasted that anyone can be complaining about filler episodes or weirdness when these first 4 episodes have felt like a thunder storm!!

Thank you FX for renewing this series for a much deserved third season and being a cable provider that sticks with critically acclaimed shows despite low viewership!!! More networks need to take note. Besides canceling Terriers, I love FX!

With Ryan Murphy leaving for Netflix, something tells me theyll wsnt Noah Hawley with his 2 package deal (Fargo, legion) for a long time to come.

Dont listen to the negative reviews but if you agree that it's not up your alley, that's just fine ONLY this very episode is so brilliant that I cant believe anyone not feeling affected by it.

Simply stunning and dazzling! Look me in the face and tell me there wasnt a story behind this style????

It's fine to get to know Syd's backstory but this is a bit much, slow and drawn out. Get on with it. Some interesting stuff but over all too repetitive to enjoy.

Over the course of the episode, the narrative keeps changing from Syd's desire to connect with others to being bullied and self-harming until you realize the common thread that connects all of these events, namely the human strive of survival. Adversity is what makes us stronger. I bet it sounds clichéd to a lot of people who think have had a tough life (I can hear them mumbling: "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger) but for those of us who truly suffered like David and Syd, this episode is a revelation that had a great impact on me (a positive one). Possibly a greater impact than countless self-help books that I've read or therapy sessions that I've attended and for that, I think this episode has been the best one yet thus far, thank you!
