Jon Hamm, who plays the "narrator" this season, could play a great Charles Xavier on the TV show.

That was a very weird hour, more than usual but I liked that David worked with the others in trying to figure out things unlike the last two episodes.

Pretty sure that the opening scene was straighout from the comics when Xavier defeated/killed the Shadow King.



But it is hard to tell from whom the memory was from: Farouk reliving that or The Monk's when they delivered his body to the Migo cult. Probably just a good ol' flashback. But throughout the episode they showed Farouk tried to escape.

I am starting to wonder if each of Jon Hamm's narrations of how the idea of an ilness can become an actual ilness and much reality is a fabrication of the mind could actually be low key foreshadows of what is killing people faster in the future and that is deadlier than Farouk. The spasms and how they spread.

I take it David was talking with his mind to Syd as she made her way through D3 in the cat looking for The Monk.

I thought Kerry was just shy, self-conscious or nervous in how much it took for her to have dinner with Cary, they must not do it often since they have more trouble merging with the other now but nope, she's barely outside besides fighting that she was just figuring out body functions too. These Loudermilk siblings.

If anything this episode ended up teaching me in the end was that Fukyama is not that powerful if The Monk was able to make his way to the Admiral that easily, made quick work of the Vermillion as well.

Lenny really seemed desperate here. David probably doesn't care not due to being cold but due to not being aware yet she's not just a mere fake personality. Writing that "exit" and trying to find a way to put herself out of her mysery keeps her busy in the astral plane. He cares just about Farouk himself now.

Farouk might not think he's a supervillian but the way he was justfying himself was supervillain-esque so David had none of it. Only good piece of info that came out was that he claime it wasn't him the source of the Catalyst but The Monk, and he was right.

That egg with the rotten bird crawling inside Ptonomy, that was how he got infected with the Catalyst. Which comes from The Monk, it appears. That is how the infection works.

I think I get what "the maze" is: a sympton from the Catalyst that traps the infected in their brains and just replays it over and over. So everyone had their own maze: Ptonomy's was a garden and Melanie was a more literal because it had a minotaur, which was the same thing we saw in the start of the Season as she was getting high in her depression. It was part of her mind.

The thing David wrote to make her snap out of it hit home with feels, her love for Oliver's and also shed light on her current state.

The cows felt like checkpoints in videogames tbh everytime David cleared one of his friends frpm the Catalyst.

Cary is gonna have to man up in being physically brave next time, knowing already how vulnerable and behind her sister is he now must be the one to go and fight. Funny how at the end when he found her infected only then they could merge again. Melanie should handle them next week.

I bet Fukyama never told the others that they were trying to use David as weapon to destroy the Shadow King's body seeing how The Monk made the Vermillion spit it out. I wonder if Clark was aware of that who btw wasn't seen at all after he checked inside where the infected were. Figures.

So yeah, there are secrets. Which reminded me that Syd and David are keeping between them the real reason why he's after Farouk's body and the others are beginning to notice every flash David gets from future!Syd. Better spill all the beans.

Well R.I.P. Monk. He had a very deep voice and he didn't trust David one bit in what he would try to do once he found Farouk's body which will be to keep current Syd alive so that future!Syd lives and maybe doesn't become an amputee. But it seems he showed him enough of where the body is, in the area surrounding the monastery he lived in before the rest of his friends also got infected.

Into Syd's cold, igloo designed maze next week.

Excellent show,its so mind f*cky I love it.
