Legion (2017)	comment	Legion is a Superhero Horror-Psychological Thriller television series based on the X-Men character of the same name, created and executive produced by Noah Hawley (Fargo). The show was designed with a three-season run in mind, running from 2017 to 2019 on FX.David Haller (Dan Stevens) is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic who has struggled with mental illness since his late childhood. When he meets a similarly-troubled woman (and fellow patient) named Sydney Barrett (Rachel Keller), he's confronted with the disturbing possibility that there's more to his schizophrenia than he believes: that the voices he hears and visions he sees are actually real. Aubrey Plaza and Jean Smart also co-star.Despite being a co-production between 20th Century Fox (the X-Men Film Series) and Marvel (the Marvel Cinematic Universe), Legion is said to be set in neither of those continuities, but rather, its own parallel universe. Despite references to outside continuity, the series is designed to stand on its own.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2. Season 2 Trailer

Legion (2017) / int_13bde1fb	comment	Neurodiversity Is Supernatural: Played with. David has believed for his entire life that he was schizophrenic. He was finally admitted to a psych hospital after he trashed his girlfriend's kitchen. A few years later, there was another incident at the hospital, where several people died. This brought him to the attention of the Division, who realized that he is a powerful psychic and try to control him. A group of mutants rescue him and begin helping him untangle the damage the well-meaning doctors did. While doing so, they discover that while he is even more powerful than they thought, he's also schizophrenic, with disturbing visions, extremely distorted memories, and serious emotional issues, all of which make controlling his powers a challenging prospect at best. And then it turns out that the "visions" are of a very real psychic parasite which has edited his memories to remove any sign of itself. And then it manages to take control of his body and his powers...

Legion (2017) / int_16364a29	comment	Evil Sounds Deep: David's illusions of Lenny take on a deep, demonic voice when her "true" form as the Devil With the Yellow Eyes starts to manifest. In the middle of the shadow play in "Chapter 26", Farouk's tone unexpectedly becomes lower than his normal speaking voice when he says, "You should never have come" with a sinister facial expression. It's the only moment during the performance where Farouk talks in English, and he's staring directly at Charles (an Englishman); it's a subtle threat to his guest. While Charles is slightly perturbed by the line's delivery, he's unsure if it's just part of the dramatic narration or if his life is genuinely in danger.

Legion (2017) / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: David's perception of reality can't be trusted because he's prone to delusions and hallucinations. In "Chapter 11", Farouk describes Charles as a meddling foreigner who came to Morocco so he could overthrow Farouk and play Mighty Whitey because he thought he knew what was best for the people of another country. As we see in "Chapter 26", Charles came to Morocco with the sole intention of befriending Farouk, and Farouk attacked him either so he could be a Power Parasite or simply For the Evulz. In "Chapter 26", Charles is in a state of bewilderment once he arrives at Farouk's Moroccan palace, being uncertain if he can believe his eyes. For instance, the chauffeur (who was behind Charles and standing next to the car) seems to magically appear from behind a curtain at the front entrance, yet Charles never saw the chauffeur run past him to enter the palace while Charles was walking from the car to the doorway. These odd moments continue throughout the episode and enhance his sense of disorientation (e.g. Charles is eating dinner across the table from Farouk in the dining room, and then suddenly Charles is seated next to Habiba at the palace's theater while still chewing his food). As Harry Lloyd elaborates in this interview:

Some are good (for him at least), others not so much. Ultimately the point is, even though David has the power to choose his reality, for good or ill, he chooses to live in the one and remember the Amy that made him the person he is today.

It comes across like an implied threat in the promo, but in the actual episode, David follows it up by specifying that the "history of the world" is really about different people learning to live together.

Legion (2017) / int_1c2f85c0	comment	The Pursuing Nightmare: The Devil With The Yellow Eyes consistently haunts David throughout the first season, hunting him down and slowly driving him insane in the hopes of taking over his body. In one case, an attempt by Syd to explore his mind in the company of David's inner child results in the two of them being pursued by the Devil in the form of the World's Angriest Boy In The World. In "Chapter Five", Syd finds herself cornered in David's mind with the Devil slowly pursuing her around it, clearly taking great delight in the fact that Syd can't escape and David is helpless to stop him. Worse still, getting ensnared by the Devil results in Syd, David, and the rest of the mutants getting dragged into a Nightmare of Normality set in Clockworks Asylum. In "Chapter Seven," the Devil - now in the form of Lenny - traps Syd and Kerry in a ruined illusion of the Asylum, then begins hunting them down for fun. Ultimately, a combination of David's power, Rudy's Heroic Sacrifice, and Cary using a halo machine to trap the Devil inside David's mind end the chase, releasing the dreamers from captivity. Subverted in the second season, in which David and the Devil have gained enough power to drop the hunting aspect of their relationship altogether. From now on, the Devil, AKA Amahl Farouk the Shadow King is more than happy to challenge his opponent to psychic battles for supremacy.

Legion (2017) / int_1e584efa	comment	Cruel and Unusual Death: Lenny's death by Tele-Frag in the first episode. Made even worse in season 2 when she reveals that she was completely aware of what was happening. Once he tires of David's friends, the Shadow King causes the Eye to spindle and fold in upon himself in a highly gruesome, gory manner. It translates from the Clockworks mindscape to the real world, in something of an inversion of Your Mind Makes It Real— since the real world is currently frozen in time, it takes even longer in reality, finally catching up all at once when normal time snaps back. It's not clear if the Eye remains alive or conscious throughout the experience, and if anything, his unnerving behavior in David's mind makes him even less sympathetic, but it's horrific nonetheless. Amy. Farouk used a device to destroy her and replace her soul with Lenny. If her reaction to the process is anything to go by, it was excruciatingly painful.

Being superhuman means existing in a world utterly different from ordinary people, and in ways that the creators often use to parallel real world psychological conditions. The psychics really can hear voices that for normal people aren't there. Mutants like Syd and the Loudermilks spend every day experiencing types of dissociation "well adjusted" people don't. And when you reach the power level of superhumans like David and Farouk, things like mortality and even reality itself are far more up to their own subjective opinion than the normal "sane" human's conception of them.

Legion (2017) / int_26764512	comment	I Just Want to Have Friends: Charles is so desperate to befriend other mutants that when he finds one in Morocco with Cerebro (which he designed and assembled with his own hands in order to search for mutants globally), he travels halfway across the world just to meet a fellow telepath. He even ignores how afraid he was when he first sensed Farouk's mind, which should've been a warning to Charles that Farouk is extremely dangerous. Harry Lloyd clarifies on the loneliness that his character feels:

Legion (2017) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Legion (2017) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Like David, Professor X in the movie-verse also thought he was going crazy when his mutant ability first manifested because of the voices in his head, as revealed in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Charles' 1973 self also had Messy Hair to denote that he was psychologically unstable, and they've both engaged in substance abuse. Their live-action adaptations are given sister figures (Amy for David and Mystique for Xavier) even though they didn't grow up with a sister in the original source. In an early scene from the pilot episode, David is pushed in a wheelchair. Lenny is fused into a wall, much like a Cairo vendor in X-Men: Apocalypse. The most dazzling display of a mutant power in the series premiere takes place in a kitchen with various utensils, food items and water droplets floating in the air, similar to X-Men: Days of Future Past. David's inability to be physically close to Sydney mirrors Iceman's struggles with his girlfriend Rogue in X2: X-Men United. The scene where David as a boy is stargazing with his adoptive father serves as an allusion to Cerebro, with the night sky resembling a dome shape, and the stars that talk to David bringing to mind the lights which represent other minds. David's (in)famous towering hairdo from the comics is referenced a number of times: The official Season 1 poster,◊ with rainbow energy streaming straight up from David's head, references the common image from the comics of psychic energy emanating from David's tower of hair. During a hallucination, Lenny runs her hands through David's hair, spiking it upwards. A vision of a possible future in Episode 2.10 shows David in full villain mode, with his hair sticking straight up. When Carey and Kerry speculate on the origin of the orb that captured David at the end of season 1, Carey muses about it not being Shi'ar technology. Instead of going for a more comic book-accurate Charles Xavier (who's unsympathetic, bald, paraplegic, and American as apple pie — the latter would be the natural choice considering that his son David is an American on the show), the showrunners decided to repeat the convention established by the X-Men Film Series that the character is a Nice Guy who has British ancestry and talks with a British accent, plus his younger self is a brown-haired Pretty Boy who isn't wheelchair-bound. During their Falling-in-Love Montage, Charles and Gabrielle are briefly shown playing chess, which is a nod to the chess games that Professor X and Magneto shared in the X-Men Film Series.

(This is quite insidious because Charles could potentially brush it off as just an awful dream, unaware that the Shadow King can haunt his subconscious.) The second is stated by Farouk while he recites a play, and that line is oddly the only one in English while the rest of the story is in Farsi, so the threat is aimed at the sole Englishman in the room (namely Charles, who can't decide if he's actually in grave peril or if it's merely part of the theatrics).

Legion (2017) / int_3b4185fb	comment	Stalker without a Crush: The Shadow King to David, helped by the fact that he lives in David's mind. In "Chapter 26", when Charles arrives in Morocco, he's rather apprehensive about how much Farouk knows about him even though they're total strangers. Farouk's chauffeur greets Charles (who "wasn't expecting a welcome") at the Moroccan landing strip with a hand-painted portrait of the latter in his military uniform, so that means Farouk is aware that Charles is a former World War II British army officer. The chauffeur then adds "And my king is most excited to meet you," to which a puzzled Charles asks "He knew I was coming?", and the driver replies "It's all he's been talking about." Farouk obviously found out that Charles was heading to Morocco despite the fact that he wasn't notified of it, and he then checked which flight Charles was on. The Shadow King's obsession with his guest becomes even more evident when they meet face-to-face because the former identifies the latter as an artist ("The ease of your lines betrays an intense discipline," so Farouk is familiar with Charles' artistic style), scientist, soldier and father. The last comment makes Charles especially uneasy and he inquires "You know my family?", and Farouk answers "Little David? Beautiful Gabrielle? How could I not? Your every particle practically sings about them." Before Charles can say anything further, Farouk distracts him with an invitation to dinner. As David would later point out, Farouk has lured Charles into a trap.

David's blind trust in her leads to him pulling an Enemy Mine with Farouk, who quickly runs amok and kills David's sister in the process. Horrified by David's Roaring Rampage of Revenge (and goaded on by Farouk), present-day Syd accuses David of being Evil All Along and attempts to kill him. David is put on trial by Division 3 for future crimes, at which point David finally decides to break out of the facility and work against Divison 3 to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. However, this isn't before he took one last chance to Jump Off The Slippery Slope and use his powers to brainwash Syd into sleeping with him again after she lost her trust in him.

After David accidentally smashes a lamp in his sister's basement in "Chapter 1", Amy takes away the sharp gardening tools to remove the risk of him potentially hurting himself, but the fake reason she gives for doing this is, "Ben, he's gotta get to the garden tomorrow morning, you know?" In the series premiere, when David searches for Syd, he tells the person on the other end of the phone, "I'm her father, Max." In "Chapter 26", when Farouk inquires about the stranger that Charles has brought to the palace, Charles introduces his time-travelling son David as an old army buddy from World War II. (This is impossible because David was born in the 1950s.)

Legion (2017) / int_463da046	comment	Ambiguous Gender Identity: Lenny is played by a woman, but the character's gender is complicated. Lenny is often very androgynous and only expresses sexual interest in women. It's revealed that David's real druggy buddy whom he and Sydney remember as the female Lenny might have actually been "Benny," a man. When in the guise of the Demon With the Yellow Eyes, Lenny appears to have a male face and frame, but with slender, feminine arms. Another one of her personas, "The World's Angriest Boy in the World," is also male. Lenny was originally written as a man, but after Noah Hawley gave the role to Aubrey Plaza, she convinced him that Lenny should be gender-neutral, being inspired by David Bowie. Season 2 confirms that while Lenny was alive she was, in fact, a woman. Any ambiguity on that point was entirely Farouk's doing.

In the show, he's played by the gorgeous Dan Stevens, whose character is acknowledged to be cute and a Pretty Boy In-Universe. Moreover, the TV version is taller at 6'0" instead of 5'9". This series maintains the Progressively Prettier direction that Charles Xavier, who's bald and plain-looking in the comics, has undergone since the X-Men Film Series. The TV character has hair and is blessed with Harry Lloyd's Pretty Boy features.

A visibly terrified David singing "Rainbows are visions, but only illusions/Rainbows have nothing to hide..." You'll never think of The Muppets the same way again. The second season opens with a strange, rapid, frantic clicking noise that gets louder and louder until you realize what it is: the sound of dozens if not hundreds of people infected with the Catalyst, unable to move or do anything except for uncontrollably chattering their teeth together at inhumanly fast speeds.

Legion (2017) / int_63be4131	comment	Pretty Boy: David's physical attractiveness is imbued with a boyish quality which includes Innocent Blue Eyes, which serves as a visual shorthand that he's an immature Manchild. Syd thinks he's cute, and Lenny describes him as "Such a pretty boy." When speaking to the rational side of his mind, David tells him, "I am pretty." Although he becomes a supervillain in the Season 2 finale, a residual cuteness in his visage in Season 3 reminds the audience that on an emotional level, he's a lost, little boy with severe abandonment issues who just wants to be loved and Desperately Craves Affection, especially from his biological parents. Charles has elegant facial features, gentle green eyes, a gracefully long neck and a slim build. His good looks, along with his empathy and kindness, accentuate his image as a romantic figure when he courts Gabrielle, his Love Interest who later becomes his wife. Because they do get married on the show (unlike in the comics), the showrunners wanted to avoid the Ugly Guy, Hot Wife trope by applying Adaptational Attractiveness to Charles in order to present him as one half of a very beautiful couple. note Harry Lloyd has disclosed that Noah Hawley told him to not shave his head for the role even though Professor X is bald in the source material. Lloyd got the part without having to audition, so the producers had purposely cast a gorgeous actor to play Xavier. For viewers who don't read comic books, Charles' prettiness helps them to identify the character as David's biological father when he first appears in Season 3, and it further reinforces the Like Father, Like Son connection.

He tells her that if this is truly her wish, then he'll make her dream come true, to which she replies that she wants to begin the next chapter of their relationship right away.

However, by the end of Season 2, it's officially acknowledged that, whatever else is happening with his mind, David also genuinely has multiple personalities.

Earlier in the episode, Syd also rattles out a bullet-points synopsis of the story thus far, cutting off Cary just as he's about to do the same for her.

It's the kind of show where the Big Bad can give the protagonist a chilling Breaking Speech comparing love to a disease spread by ants and then bust out into a spectacular James Bond-style dance solo set to a raucous cover of Nina Simone's "Feelin' Good". And it actually gets even weirder as the series progresses.

She's unable to hear her husband's warning about Farouk (the latter is literally haunting her house as a Fog of Doom, so she's unaware that her infant son David is in danger), and she also misses Charles' reassurance that he's on on his way home. Because Gabrielle's psyche is falling apart at the seams, it's essential for her to know that Charles (who's her Living Emotional Crutch) will return soon, so without that info, her despair grows ever closer to the breaking point.

Legion (2017) / int_7eb2bc15	type	Ambiguous Time Period
Legion (2017) / int_7eb2bc15	comment	Ambiguous Time Period: The time period is kept ambiguous, with occasional glimpses of technology that appear current or futuristic contrasting with styles or references to events that suggest a much earlier setting. This keeps the world feeling strangely unbalanced and unreal, much like a person who doubts his sanity might find it. Some of the hairstyles and clothing are from the '60s. The Eye wears a 1960s perm and retro green suit. Amy Haller's outfits and hairstyle are straight from the 1960s. Oliver's style is even more overtly from the 1960s, but it's implied that this is because he's been in the Astral Plane for decades. Many set designs are influenced by the '70s, although this makes more rational sense for Summerland, which was built decades ago. Clark has a futuristic-looking tablet computer when interviewing David in the first episode. In "Chapter 1," Lenny mentions CNN, which wasn't a network until 1980. Ptonomy has a noticeably retro taste in suits, often wearing flat caps and waistcoats. He couples that with a preference for the Thompson submachine gun, which was used by the US military until 1971, with production ending in 1945. Most vehicles are at least fairly modern-looking. Melanie's black limo has a vaguely '90s-era aesthetic — weirdly, it's also right-hand drive, very unusual for most cars in the United States. In "Chapter 4," Oliver Bird, who has been trapped in the Astral Plane for 20 years, asks David if the 'Summer of Love' was still going on, which occurred in 1967. Oliver Bird is said to have inherited Summerland in the 1940s. Even considering that he hasn't aged for 20 years, if the current year were 2017, he would have had to have inherited it in infancy in 1949 for him to look anywhere near the age of his actor, 43-year-old Jemaine Clement. The Clockworks facility has very large flatscreens on the walls, but they play old-timey black and white films. Philly has a iMac G4 on her desk in "Chapter 4", which were only made in the early 2000s. Ptonomy remembers that Nena's "99 Luftballons" (released in 1983) was playing when his mother died, when he was five years old. David plays "The Rainbow Connection" on his banjo at one point, a song which wasn't released until 1979. The psychiatric drugs Kerry/Cary are playing a game about in chapter 6 are from a few time periods: Chlorpromazine (1954), Flupentixol (1956), Clozapine (1972), Effexor (1993), Geodon (2001), Abilify and Escitalopram (2002), Duloxetine (2004), and finally Brintellix (2013). Clark has a husband and a black adopted son, neither of which he tries to hide from society, suggesting a fairly late time period or an alternative time line with more tolerance. One of the flashbacks has a bunch of security guards blazing away with the Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle, which started production in 1996. Amahl Farouk mentions John Lennon's "Bigger Than Jesus" quote, which came from an interview in August 1966. It's mentioned that Farouk's inert form has been hidden away for several decades. The hearse we see moving it to the temple of the Mi-go monks has tailfins, a style of automobile accessory that peaked between the years 1955 and 1961. David's parents were young adults during World War II and still fairly young at his birth, putting David's birth year somewhere in the 1950s (the fashion, hairstyles, dÃ©cor and level of technology in the scenes that feature Charles and Gabrielle fit this decade), meaning that the show would take place somewhere in the 1980s. Gabrielle reads Harold and the Purple Crayon (which was published in 1955) as a bedtime story to her infant son, so David was likely born around 1955, and since he's 33 years old in Season 3, the final season would be set in 1988. However, the 1984 song "True Love Will Find You in the End" by Daniel Johnston and 1967's "She's a Rainbow" by The Rolling Stones are used as Love Themes for Charles and Gabrielle, and neither tune would've existed in the 1950s. In the Season 3 premiere, David's cult performs "Something For Your M.I.N.D." by Superorganism, which wasn't released until 2017, the year the show debuted.

In "Chapter 27", Charles once again is about to suggest a non-violent course of action, but he's barely able to start his sentence ("David, perhaps—") before David teleports behind Past Farouk and hits the latter's head with a telepathic mace.

Legion (2017) / int_8430699a	comment	Because this series is set in its own universe which is distinct from the X-Men Film Series, the Charles Xavier portrayed by Harry Lloyd has a different life from the Patrick Stewart-James McAvoy version. He's a full-blooded Englishman instead of being half-British, half-American, he was a young adult instead of a child during World War II and fought as a British army officer, plus he got married and had a son instead of remaining a bachelor and childless. The most glaring deviation is that he never establishes the X-Men.

As is the social norm for young married couples who want to start a family in that decade, they reside in Suburbia. Gabrielle is seen holding the 1955 children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon, which suggests that their infant son David was born in the same year.

Charles is Mr. Fancy-Pants because he follows the fashion trends of upper-class Englishmen in the 1950s, so he's often dressed in chic suits from the era that highlight his elegant frame, and he appears quite dashing in them. To elevate his aura of refinement, he has a different-coloured trilby (a hat that was popular among rich British men) for every suit that he owns. He dons a black trilby when he exits the mental hospital, a grey one when he travels to Morocco, and a beige one when he reconciles with Gabrielle.

At its core, the story is about a boy who loses touch with reality because he's preoccupied with the imaginary world that he creates with his purple crayon. Harold is totally lost within his own mind, just like the mentally ill David is. Harold symbolizes Charles as well, whose actor is Harry Lloyd (Harry is the diminutive of Harold). Gabrielle's narration "Harold was over his head" is heard when Charles puts on the Cerebro helmet for the first time, and it foreshadows that Charles is in over his head when he finds Farouk. In the book, Harold "made a very small forest, with just one tree in it," and Charles creates the exact same thing in the astral plane when Farouk introduces him to it.

Legion (2017) / int_99ddfcec	comment	Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Charles inadvertently sets in motion a chain of events which would gradually lead to his son David's descent into supervillainy. Charles travels to Morocco to meet Farouk, who turns out to be a malevolent entity, so they engage in a Battle in the Center of the Mind. Charles defeats Farouk by pushing the latter's consciousness out of his body, but Charles fails to kill his opponent. A formless Farouk then finds his way into baby David's mind, latching on to it like a parasite. Charles is unaware that Farouk had already infected David's psyche, and fearful of what a vengeful Farouk might do to his infant son, Charles gives David up for adoption, believing that Farouk will not be able to find him (and thus keep David safe). Farouk then poisons David's mind for decades, and the latter becomes increasingly unstable as he gets older, with little to no control over his vast array of mutant powers. To make a long story short, insanity and winning the Superpower Lottery are a terribly destructive combination, and David will bring about the end of the world. All of this could've been avoided if Charles had simply remained at home, caring for his wife and son.

Legion (2017) / int_9e943076	comment	One-Man Army: Several characters. Division 3 fears that David's powers will make him one of these, and they're right, as shown in Episode 5 when he wipes them out off-screen. Although this may be only when the Shadow King is in the driver's seat. Kerry beats the shit out of squads of Division 3 soldiers on multiple occasions with little to no effort on her part. Summerland's telekinetic, Rudy, is shown smashing entire squadrons of Division 3 guys to bits with little more than a flick of his wrist (and creative application of giant boulders.) This is most likely why the Eye disposes of him first before attempting to kill the others.

While stargazing on the balcony of the psychiatric hospital, Charles and Gabrielle then gaze at each other for a moment before sharing their first kiss.

After hearing his recollection of events, Gabrielle doesn't argue.

Legion (2017) / int_b545453b	comment	Internal Homage: Charles and Gabrielle's romance in "Chapter 22" parallels David and Sydney's from "Chapter 1." They're both patients at a mental institution, one sketches the portrait of the other, the first meal they share includes pie, they stroll around the hospital together, they both kiss note done for real in Charles and Gabrielle's case, whereas David and Syd had to settle for a symbolic smooch to avoid activating her "Freaky Friday" Flip mutant power, plus the girlfriend stealthily enters the bedroom of the boyfriend at night and they discuss leaving the asylum in his bed. In "Chapter 26", while inside David's psyche, Charles is surrounded by his son's multiple personalities who are all bombarding him with a chorus of "Daddy," which mirrors how David is addressed as "Daddy" by his many cult followers who crowd around him.

Charles is a Wide-Eyed Idealist who's far too trusting, so Farouk is able to manipulate him at first. Yet Charles is such a gifted telepath that when they brawl in a psychic battlefield, Charles trounces Farouk quite handily, tearing the Shadow King's consciousness away from his body.

Legion (2017) / int_bac9f95d	comment	Sweet Tooth: David is often seen eating or craving sweets. He adores cherry pie (he claims that he basically lives on it and it's everything he needs), gorges on waffles in various scenes, munches on strawberry Twizzlers, wants to eat a chocolate cupcake for his birthday (but a Clockworks security guard forbids him from doing so), and expresses interest in ice cream. Lenny frequently snacks on strawberry Twizzlers, and she later requests that Sydney mail her a new candy bar that has nougat, chocolate and a crispy wafer. In Season 2, when David visits the "new" Lenny, he smuggles in some Twizzlers for her. Charles loves cherry pie, and after Gabrielle (who's a faster eater than he is) "steals" what remains of his portion, he playfully fights her for the last piece. While he's conversing with David within the latter's own mind, David feeds Charles a slice of a three-layered red velvet cake that contains knowledge, and Charles enjoys its taste before he's overwhelmed by the information. Gabrielle has a voracious appetite for cherry pie and eats it so quickly that she would take the half-eaten slice that Charles (who's fond of it, too, but he's a slower eater) has without asking. When he tries to grab another bite, she's unwilling to share.

As a teenager, Syd used her own powers to have sex with her mother's boyfriend under false pretenses, which is also rape - and got him unjustly arrested for having sex with a minor after she reverted to her own form during the act. David's crime is used an indication of his descent into complete villainy, while Syd's is used to illustrate how broken and difficult her life is. The show demonstrates that neither David or Syd believe they've done something wrong, with Syd actually framing her incident with her as the victim when she meets her teenage self in season 3 because her mother's boyfriend turned her around during sex ('cause of course that inherently has to be some kind of dominance thing and not just his and her mother's preferred position).

David, Charles and Gabrielle love cherry pie, referencing Agent Dale Cooper from fellow surreal drama Twin Peaks. Kerry mentions having a dream that reminded her of "that old movie, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." In "Chapter 11", the Monk lays David out on a large black "6" on a white circle background, the exact font and shape of Number Six's badge from The Prisoner.

Bonus points for David putting on an exaggerated version of the accent while talking to his rational mind, and saying a line that he imagined his biological father would say, which is something of a call-forward to the reveal that his father is Charles Xavier, an Englishman.

Because Charles and Gabrielle are married, their son was born as David Xavier, although he's adopted by the Haller family when he's still a baby, so he's known as David Haller throughout the series. However, after the Alternate Timeline takes hold in the series finale, the infant that's shown in the last scene will be known as David Xavier permanently because his parents won't give him up this time.

David's attempt at communicating with his mother Gabrielle causes her to faint, and then his father Charles arrives home from Morocco to find his wife unconscious on the floor. Charles assumes that the ghostly apparition (who is the adult David, but Charles doesn't know that) in his infant son's bedroom is the culprit, so Charles hurls the intruder away with his Psychic Powers. While Charles is distracted trying to revive Gabrielle, he doesn't notice that behind him, Farouk's consciousness is entering baby David's mind. The adult David's interference in the past sealed his own fate.

The most glaring deviation is that he never establishes the X-Men. Once the Alternate Timeline kicks in near the end of "Chapter 27", Charles is committed to being a Family Man and take care of David. This is a big change from the previous timeline where he gave up his son for adoption. It's also hinted that he'll be the founder of the X-Men in this new future.
