So others have already said good things about this episode and I am not going to do that again. I think my 8 stars is self-explanatory. What I do want to point out are the things I was expecting in the finale, but did not see.
1. I wanted to actually witness how David manages to destroy the world, preferably with the help of time monsters. I think the time monsters was an exquisite idea that was horribly under-used. Taming them and asking them to leave was seriously anticlimactic.
2. I wanted to see how the future Syd is going to cope with the already-ended world. If David ended the world during his fight with the then-Farouk, how did the future Syd lived to be old? I wished they answered this huge question from season 2.
3. After destroying the world, I liked to see David reverting his action with the help of Switch. Switch definitely deserved more time on the show. She was basically a tool, but I guess you cannot expect more from a show ending in 27 episodes.
4. I wanted to see Aubrey Plaza. She was missed horribly. She did not get the ending she deserved. I hoped they brought her back.
So these are the things I was expecting. I needed more complexity. However, "mother" piece dropped my jaw. I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd, and this was the best place they could have used this song in. The lyrics fitted beautifully with the show. Marvelous work.
Definitely going to miss Legion. The most extremely complicated show I've seen on TV. You will be remembered.
