Another chore day come and gone. I did get to watch another episode of Legion. It was a good thing Mom and Dad weren't home, I'm not sure they'd have appreciated the conversation between David and Syd. It is very interesting to think what one might do with Syd's abilities, but I'm glad they addressed the moral implications in having her abilities. She brushes them off with an air of detachment, but I feel they handled that well. If anyone she would certainly have a sense of detachment from her body that would allow her to so brush off the moral implications.

It's interesting how David manages to gain control of his abilities while also losing control of himself. They've handled that well, but from what I understand of the comics his abilities change depending on which personality is in charge. The show presents him as having other voices in his head, and they give full representations of the personalities that go with those voices. I just don't feel they've presented those other personalities as actively trying to take over; no MPD. So his abilities, as expansive and powerful as they are, are always the same. He didn't have control, now he does, but when I say he doesn't have control of himself I'm not saying another personality is taking over as much as he's fleeing within.

Of course, all this remains questionable as to what's actually going on, because yet again the show ends with the rules changing and I'm back to not knowing what's real.

It's kinda cool how they are able to do that, in a very frustrating way.

Oh well, I can't stay up late tonight. The memorial will start at 10, there will be a lunch and mingling at 12, and after that I'm not sure what'll happen. But it means Sam will be here to pick me up early.
