Agreed, so much. I just could not find a cohesive center for the season. Additionally, the bizarre setting for Division 3--the colors and structure and markings were creepy and unsettling, from the cafeteria to the wallpaper in people's bedrooms. The season felt about three episodes too long, and might have been more effective if forced to a tighter schedule and less rambling.

I didn't understand how Syd didn't realize she was being led, that Melanie was laying it on too thick, and then that Farouk was simply interpreting what her future-self had said and repeating it back to her. Sure the visuals of David's face from the first season raid on Division 3's other building were horrifying, but she knew that at the time he was under Lenny/Farouk's thrall. And so far as I knew, David's torturing Oliver was done on the astral plane rather than in physical reality. I haven't re-watched any of the scenes to make sure, though.

I hope the third season (Legion has been renewed) recovers from this sophomore slump.
