The new X-Men series "Gifted" has started filming.
The first behind the scenes photo has been released featuring Amy Acker being directed by longtime X-Men film director Bryan Singer who is shooting the pilot.
"Gifted" is the current working title of the series but might not be the final title.

BTW, when I logged in, I got some strange messages about how I might be compromised if I log in here. Anyone else seeing that? It's disconcerting.

(You might not be too worried about people getting hold of your Whedonesque password, but it's probably best not to reuse the same password on other sites which have more information about you and your payment details, like Amazon or Paypal.)

Hoping the finale brings it home.
Gifted sounds a little more straightforward in format and the story it'll tell, but really lookin' forward to it. Like Sean Teale from the short-lived Incorporated (probably the best look at a possible, most-likely-to-happen future that sci-fi has given us in a while) and Reign Season 2, love Moyer from True Blood (regardless of how patchy that series was and how awful most of its final season was), and of course Acker has been great in Angel, Dollhouse, AoS, and Cabin In The Woods. Bryan Singer directing has me hopeful too.

I have yet to watch the second episode of "Legion". It's actually been a couple of weeks since I last watched an episode of any tv series.

I watch the Librarians too. It's a lot of fun.
Am looking forward to Gifted. (Which has the same name as an upcoming Chris Evan movie... about a math genius! It's so weird how it's all connected.) ;)

Writer/series mastermind Noah Hawley (Fargo) seems to be more interested in the internal workings of David Haller's mind than mutant or anti-mutant hijinks in the "real" world. We've had to sort through David's real memories, false memories, mindscapes, and astral landscapes as we try to get our bearings and decide what's real and what isn't. Hawley keeps us spinning with all kinds of cinematic showboating, including (just this last episode) chalkboard animation, a silent movie sequence (with intertitles!), a hospital wall secreting Cronenbergian ooze and a debate between David (Dan Stevens, talking Amurrican) and his Rational Mind (Dan Stevens, proper Brit).
It's all very entertaining, and the cast looks like they're having a blast. We have Aubrey Plaza, ripping up the joint as David's old buddy, Lenny (or IS she?), America's greatest living clown, Bill Irwin, as half of a very unusual mutant team, and Jemaine Clement as a Martini-sipping, poetry spouting hepcat (literally) chilling on the astral plane.
If I have one criticism, it's that the stylistic pyrotechnics might be blunting the emotional impact of the series. I mean, David's had his mind effed with since birth, but I don't FEEL the impact of that yet. I guess I'm waiting for the events of this season to sink in--for myself and the characters--to see how badly David was damaged and if he can ever truly recover.

I just started Legion and so far I love it. Finishing Iron Fist right now. It's not bad.
