The series finale is airing this week. I've watched every episode and I still have no friggin' idea what's going on. Anybody else in the same boat or am I just thick?
It does seem more interested in introducing characters, than building a plot. Though, I have to admit, I'm not rushing it, as Shadow Moon stills seems confused by the unfolding events too. So, if he's confused, I guess there's no reason that I shouldn't be either. But, I think it's getting there? It looks like a climax is on a slow build, and 'something' will happen soon.
I also admit that I'm really enjoying the cast. It's well chosen. It's nice to see Cloris Leachman and Crispin Glover again. And Ian McShane is having fun chewing up dialog, and he's fun to watch as well. Plus, Gillian Anderson's various appearances as Media have been a hoot. I hope she'll appear in even more episodes in Season 2.
Now as to slow builds, that kept me confused, and entertained, I think Legion on FX did it better. That show was a mind-trip, to the very last episode. Very confusing, but in a good way. One of the best shows I've seen in years. I'm glad it'll be back for another season. I hope that'll be as well done as the first!

I don't have a huge amount of bandwidth for supernatural shows but Legion, wow, just wow. The Bolero sequence just incredible. Looking forward to S2.
Yea, that Bolero sequence was insanely good! I think I rewatched that scene at least 3 times. I'm hoping for more episodes from season 2 as well, with hopefully as a good story line too.
Amazing stuff! We're fans of Legion as well, tho I never would have thought "Matthew Crawley" (Dan Stevens)
could have pulled off such a character as "David Haller"! Want more ... SOON!
I haven't seen this show but considering it's based on work by Neil Gaiman, I'm not surprised by your and others reactions.The series finale is airing this week. I've watched every episode and I still have no friggin' idea what's going on. Anybody else in the same boat or am I just thick?
