.. a wheelchair wheel with a very distinctive X. Also, in the chalkboard cartoon (comic?) the dad is bald. The mom has hair, so it's not a stick figure thing.
I have a feeling the battle against the Shadow King is going to continue. Not only because it makes sense story-wise (who could they possibly use as the main villain after him), but also because Aubrey Plaza is pretty much stealing this show and people love her.
make an alliance with the Shadow King since the Shadow King knows a lot more about mutant powers and David needs to use his knowledge to defeat Division 3 and save the Summerland mutants.
Even if the shadow king is defeated or ejected from his mind she should remain as a residue of him and maybe a seed for him to germinate again for later seasons

Also she should play more villains
I feel like this role is her basically saying to Hollywood "I can do any role you would have given to Helena Bonham Carter 10-15 years ago- in my sleep"

After binge watching this over the last two days I'm kind of weirded out by how good and visually interesting it is. Not at all what I expected when I heard it was an x-men show, only tried it on a recommendation in [chat].
But it's great! Like a superhero story that decided it would rather be the music video for a 70s prog rock concept album about mental illness
Aubrey Plaza is kinda blowing me away here - since Parks & Rec she's basically been stuck between a) April Ludgate-esque snarky deadpan, and b) slutty, drunk/high party girl in a series of not-great R-Rated comedies. This role seems to be breaking her out of that usual role. Interesting to see where her character goes (trying to skirt around Ep. 1 spoilers here...).
AS far as I remember, her role in Safety Not Guaranteed doesn't quite fall into either of those categories, and also it's a pretty neat little indie film.
Ok they so mentioned email this episode so I ask again WHAT YEAR IS IT IN THIS SHOW?
Same year as Archer.

It's pretty clearly just the present with a higher than average concentration of vintage fashion. And Summerland specifically was just built in the actual 60s/70s. Clockworks has kind of a weird aesthetic but most of the individual parts could plausibly exist in a current setting, it's just the whole that ends up looking like a British sci-fi show from the 60s.
We know they have modern technology since in the first episode, there are flat screen TV's in Clockwork and the D3 interrogator had a tablet. But the show is designed to be ambiguous since they also have 60's fashion and outdated technology like tape players, pay phones, really old CRT monitors, etc.
I think if there is an in universe explanation, it would be that
memories and perceptions have been manipulated by the Shadow King. The Shadow King was defeated at least 30 years ago. That means he would have been old enough to live through the 60's. So we see things from all these different time periods because that's what the Shadow King remembered from when he was still Amahl Farouk.
At this point I would more say don't try to attach it to another show or movie. It is mutants so it can't be MCU. And it has shown Xavier's wheel chair. I would say maybe more modern period of the DoFP/First Class timeline.
As the credits rolled, I jokingly said to my husband, "I'm incredible disappointed with this episode. I understood what was going on the whole time, and it all made perfect sense!"
And then credit scene happened.
Decomposey on
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.
Watching episode 7 now and I have an early question
Okay so I think he's actually schizophrenic but some/all of his other personalities are actually other entities, not just a mental thing. So when he switched bodies with Sydney (spelling?) did he switch his entire self with all personalities or just David's core personality?

Nope,
David was never schizophrenic. His altered memories and perceptions were all a result of the Shadow King.
When David switched minds with Syd, his mind went into Syd's body but the Shadow King remained in his body. That's why Syd was able to see the Shadow King when everyone else couldn't.

I'll have to squeeze it in at some point today.
Visit him at Monstrous Pigments' Instagram and Facebook pages!
Yeah.. that's pretty much..
It is the exact same

(sometimes I wish there were a punctuation mark that denoted strong conviction - The period is low energy but the exclamation mark is too winky-facey)
Put either 'the', 'best' or both in italics?
Nineteen Seventy Fuckit
All of them, it really doesn't matter.
its the 19-a e s t h e t i c s
Same year as Archer.

It's questionable whether time is a meaningful concept given the powers involved
It could be the 70:s with Reed* designed flatscreens and touchpads.
I mean, they had super robot Sentinels in the 70s as of Days of Future Past.
I thought it was vague/not all that revealing if you hadn't actually seen the episode and understood what it meant, but edited.
And then credit scene happened.
Here's hoping he has a brother played by Matt Berry.
Nope,
