Dense episode with "just right" pacing. Plot moves fast, bringing attention to the finally revealed antagonist Amahl Farouk with him finally meeting face to face with Haller. The interaction was great - not just it steers the plot towards clear direction, but also helps revealing the condition of Oliver and Lenny. Like the previous episode, there are some of weaker parts - again with David and Syd interaction (on how easy Syd is convinced that David is not making up the Syd-from-the-future, especially since in the previous episode it was established that Syd is a bit reluctant to trust David) - a bit distracting but doesn't disturb the pace. Navid Nehgaban did stellar performance as Farouk, establishing the character hard and fast. At the same time the story introduceslooming threat in the shadows while still plays Legion's hallmark mind-battles (as shown in Season 1). Flashy images but not too dragging that it keeps me engaged until the episode ends. Great start for this season.
