Legion S02E09- Chapter 17

Every time I think that me and the show Legion have come to an understanding about what I care about and want to see more of, they do something like this and reassure me that they weren't listening at all. Are there sections of this episode I loved? Sure. I mean, who isn't going to enjoy a hot lesbian sex scene with Aubrey Plaza and some weirdo girl who thinks she's pregnant by it? I'm not going to sneeze at a montage-like scene of Cary/Kerry stealing a weapon and a car and then watching as Lenny vanishes in front of their eyes. But in order to get to those moments, I have to slog through the Melanie bullshit, and let's all be honest...nobody gives a shit. She was an interesting character with a lot of strength last season, and they completely ruined her for nothing, and now she's just a pawn, and it's so disappointing. Here's hoping that huge drain plug in the desert is a little more interesting next episode.
