Watched the 8th and final episode of FX Legion.

I thought the segment showing what Clark had gone through since ep. 1 was terrific. Some poeple on the Internet said that it would be better if it was show in only a couple of minutes rather than taking the whole introduction, but if it had been shown that way, it wouldn't have had much impact, but as it was, it gave the character a lot of depth and realism. Suddenly we weren't in weird astral planes with fantastic powers and disembodied villains, we were just in a regular guy's life, who'd gotten severely burned.

I think it was important to demonstrate who Division 3 were and why they were doing what they're doing. Clark isn't some supervillain, he's human, and he's fighting for humanity's survival, as he points out. He's the guy on our side, whereas we've sympathized with David and the mutants this whole time.

The rest was good, although not quite as mind-blowing as earlier eps, and it logically wrapped up the conflict. I liked how it left things, with Oliver possessed and off to wreak havoc, with Clark starting to come over to the mutants' side, and with David captured, in all likelihood by Division 3, unless there's a new threat coming. I enjoyed this so much I'm planning on watching it all the way through again before the next season starts, particularly to catch all the tiny references to older movies and such.
