The trick with where we stand withLegionright now is multi-pronged.
The fourth episode of the season explicitly deals with Davids manipulation of his own memories.
First, theres the bloody audio recorder from Dr. Pooles office.
Later, we see how Benny, a non-Aubrey Plaza-looking man, became Lenny, an Aubrey Plaza-looking woman.
Did David consolidate the two in his grief for his friend?
Is her appearance in the earlier memories an expression of how inescapable that guilt is?
That, we still dont know.
Its kind of likeSpotlight: X-Men Edition.
Ktonomy is convinced that, yes, they are out, but Davids powers have surprised them before.
Can we really just accept that Ktonomy can tell their reality is the real reality beyond a reasonable doubt?
Until we have an explanation for that, being trapped inside Davids head is still on the table.
This episode already has me looking on YouTube for tinfoil hat-folding tutorials.

Lets back up.
Jemaine Clement talks directly to camera as Oliver, Melanies long-lost, frozen, deep-sea diving suit husband.
He begins with a quote.
In times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself.
The warlike man is key to understanding the conflict ofLegion.
Theres nothingthatinsane about the story if you look at the arcs in a general sense.
What we dont know is whether David completely left behind the astral plane or whether were traveling back there.
