Legion S02E06 was really difficult, and really cathartic, given the last year. Getting to see just how dysfunctional and dangerous David once was -- and could have been again, if he'd botched his self-care even WORSE -- and still getting to think of him as a basically good and valid and okay person afterwards. That was a story I really needed to see, and a reminder that a world where I am interesting *and* happy *and* never at all broken just might not exist.

Meanwhile it's hard not to feel like Ptonomy's fate is a bit like a fridging and I'd kinda really really like for him to get out of the Fridgeframe by the end of the season at worst. Give the poor fucker at least a CHANCE to matter, okay?! He's so damn quiet, and RL experience tells me that means he's going to be the most interesting one when he finally goddamn talks. -_-

And honestly? It was also pretty cathartic seeing that Amy really could simultaneously be kind of an oppressive, patronizing shit to David AND be scared of him over things he really couldn't control AND genuinely love him and make heartbreaking sacrifices for him. David's suppressed resentment of her was valid, but she still deserved better than she got, and I understand that urge to still fight like hell for someone whose *genuine* last resort was to betray you.
