- Quotes
[first lines]
Oliver Bird: Good evening. We are here tonight to talk about violence, or maybe human nature. We are here to talk about human nature. Wait, a quote. A great philosopher
[Friedrich Nietzsche]
Oliver Bird: once wrote; 'In times of peace the warlike man attacks himself.' This is the root of all our problems, and by this, I mean we. We are the root of all our problems, our confusion, our anger, our fear of things we don't understand. Violence in other words, is ignorance. Figure your shit out, that's what I'd say. There are two kinds of stories we tell our children. The first kind; 'Once upon a time there was a fuzzy little rabbit named Frizzytop, who went on a quantum fun adventure, only to face a big setback, which he overcame through perseverance and by being adorable.' This kind of story teaches empathy. Put yourself in Frizzytop's shoes, in other words. The other kind; 'Oliver Anthony Bird if you get too close to that ocean you'll be sucked into the sea and drowned.' This kind of story teaches them fear, and for the rest of their lives, these two stories compete. Empathy and fear. And so I bring you tonight's play, the work in five acts about a fuzzy little bunny, who got too close to the ocean. And what happened next, let us begin.

We are now on Episode 4 and already the story begins to show serious cracks. Tired old tropes badly executed, like when someone asks a question it never gets answered, just ignored - over and over, and the Question is not even an interesting one to begin with. This is supposed to keep the mystery but in this case it gets old really fast. The way people talk and interact, even the supposedly sane ones..... that is not how people talk or act. Anyone remember the phrase "Save the cheerleader, save the world"? This is less interesting and thought provoking than "Heroes" were.
There is no logic to this episode. Just look at what happens at the end of the episode and you'll know of what I'm talking about.
This week we got a David Lynchian vibe but without the intelligence.
I'll sit the rest of the series out. There are so much better ways to spend 50 minutes than to waste it on Legion.
