Rewatching from the first episode once you've seen up to 4 and 5 is amazing. You see all this stuff hidden in plain sight you can clearly understand.
Like
whenever the screen is red, the Shadow King (or whatever he is) is present. When they're discussing killing or gassing David, there is a dog in a red cage strangely sitting nearby. Clearly eavesdropping using David's powers. Actually the presence of the dog in all the innocent flashbacks is just great overall. Also, David shows up at his sister's house on Halloween, which is maybe when the Shadow King first went after him back when he was a kid, based on that one flashback.
Because of his inability to control his powers he is sometimes bombarded by peoples thoughts, potentially from quite a distance away. Imagine the inner dialogue of dozens, hundreds or maybe even thousands of people - anger, paranoia and dark thoughts cutting through the buzz of it all

Im not as sure that its the devil with the yellow eyes and not a different entity. King was a different breed of Dog and The Eye carves a German Shepard so I think his powers are being amplified by an entity as well.
Also Ive noticed both Syd and Lenny almost always wear black and red clothes in meatspace and I wonder if that means anything.
Huh. Given what's come so far I really have a hard time guessing what the next season would be about.
If they get the "thing" out of David's head, then they can start exploring what it's been hiding from him next season. So they could start exploring his powers and how he uses them.
Since David sort of wrecked the bad guys a couple episodes ago, I'm not sure what the bad guy would be next season. Maybe the same "thing" that's in his head now, but have the fight be outside of his head.
As for next week's promos:
It looks like there are two promos, one that mentions the Shadow King and one that doesn't. The official one on youtube doesn't mention the name.
Thoughts about a character they sort of mentioned this episode:
So about Professor X.. can they actually have him on the show? Or would it be like Superman for the first season of Supergirl. Talk about him, acknowledge his existence but never actually have him on screen. Would (or could they) get the movie actor (McAvoy or Stewart) in for a least a cameo?
Thoughts about this episode:
Anyone else super bored by this one? A whole lot of nothing... just showing the Lenny gets bored easily and can't maintain the utopia she created for David.

Definitely the weakest episode yet, but still pretty well done. Aubrey Plaza is really chewing scenery, somehow.
The fact the script for a lot of the episode boiled down to "be crazy" is just hysterical.
It's trippy for the viewers watching, but I can only imagine how difficult the crazy script must be for the actors. It must look rather nonsensical at times.
Last of Us fungus, I wonder if that's suggesting she's some kind of hive mind. The fungus doesn't just inhabit one host, it can spread to lots of ants.
So maybe Lenny isn't the primary consciousness and she can spread into other people's minds and control multiple people at once. And if they do defeat her this season, the real/primary Shadow King is still out there.
I'm wondering if they'll just have Jemaine (sorry forgot character's name), Ice cube guy, Be the father. He seems like somewhat of an Xavier stand-in for this setup anyway. Talked about having experience with David's kind of problem before etc. Heck even the previews might suggest he's aware of what Lenny actually is etc. He also seems the sort who may have fathered some kids. Free love and sun dresses etc.

I kinda liked Aubrey Plaza in P&R a lot but jesus is she just killing it on Legion.
I really love that the network lets them play the closing credits without promos blaring over them. Just a white screen, simple colors and words, and the closing musical track. It lets the final moments really sink in, every time.
Huh. Given what's come so far I really have a hard time guessing what the next season would be about.
I have a theory based on stuff I read about the comics:
One or more characters are going to die and David is going to absorb their consciousness into his own mind. Season 1 is going to be his origin story of Legion and season 2 is going to explore his struggles with it.
Also I don't think he will be able to defeat the devil with the yellow eyes yet. Maybe he contains it, maybe it takes over. But I bet it is coming back for season 2
Lastly there are divisions other than division 3 and I think someone else is going to come after him. Possibly destroying the Summerland headquarters so David will have to move forward.

i wonder what the fate of jermaine clements character will be
him getting absorbed would make for a funny second season
Also I read that Legion takes place in an alternate universe so it wont necessarily connect to any established Marvel characters or lore. Noah Hawley was given a ton of freedom to make it his own.

Confirmed there are other Divisions. In episode 1, the Division 3 guy says that "Division 1 wants to kill him right now."

That's pretty much a given being as it's a TV show, even if they claim otherwise.
I mean, even the movies do this, so there's like no chance.

Yeah I've been really impressed with her as well. I love that they gave her so much creative control, because she's just amazing in this show. In P&R I just kind of gradually realized that she's pretty good, but this show has turned her into one of my favorite actors.
Bill Irwin being in this show is such a treat. I've liked him since the Robin Williams Popeye movie, he's just so much fun to look at. Amber Midthunder is going to have her hands full trying to mirror him.

Wow.
The use of music was amazing. Sound and cinematography in this show are amazing.
Something I just noticed about that scene upon rewatching:
Interesting idea...

I jumped to that comparison also.
In some scenes when David is in distress
Anyone got a good idea what that symbolizes?
I've always interpreted it as:

Jesus, this is so good. The cinematography alone makes it worthwhile, amazing stuff.

He even sounded like Patrick Stewart during some of the classroom scenes.
