    • @slayme3
      @slayme3 Před 7 lety +2

      @Damian Starks - WRONG. The best thing about Seth's show is his segment called "A Closer Look" - it's almost always about Trump and how awful Trump is in all his many, many, many ways. Seth is the best, smartest person doing late night except for Stephen Colbert - who for what it is now - six weeks straight has beaten The Tonight Show and Fallon? Something like that. Stephen and Seth rule! (Aubrey's not bad either).

    @jtw.111 Před 7 lety +233

    She's gotten less awkward in interviews than a few years ago. I think being in more movies since Parks & Rec has probably helped her get used to doing press and stuff.

      Although Fox owns the rights to the X-men characters in movies, Marvel gained the rights to shoot a tv show. Legion is actually a Marvel TV production with FX, not Fox. Fox has nothing to do with Legion.

    For the two episodes I have to press forward because it is hard to understand what is going on, probably because i have no idea about legion until this show. I didn't even know she was dead in the first episode, is there a scene? Until episode 3 and 4 when I start to understand what the show is going, i totally like it and can't w8 for the next episode.

      You get to see her dead body in the first episode and the interrogator says Lenny is dead. But yes, its a very thick show, slow moving and every scene has multiple audio, visual, and text cues for what's going on. I rewatched the first episode yesterday and its so cool that it holds up on multiple viewing because the more context you have the deeper you can look into each scene.
