Episode 6: What Did The Stars Say?

Episode 7: wHAt dId the stARS SAY?

Sorry if I'm reading your post wrong, but I thought Walter and The Eye were different people. Walter went with the Summerland crew to save David from D3 and to David's old house. The Eye did shapeshift into Walter to shoot at David and Syd, though.

No, this is a totally useful answer! I honestly posted the questions hoping someone might have some explanations, it wasn’t just be trying to be a dick.

I thought Walter and The Eye were the same person, played by Mackenzie Gray, and he shapeshifted into Rudy, the telekinetic Summerland dude (played by Brad Mann), to shoot them?

Dan Stevens is crazy talented and wildly underappreciated, David Haller is rad as hell, and I am enamored of both.

Aubrey Plaza as Lenny Busker was terrifying and captivating.

Syd is one of the most bland characters I’ve ever encountered, and Rachel Keller is symmetrical in appearance but average in performance.

The most I know about the Marvel Universe™ is Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Taika Waititi’s Thor mockumentary.

Where & when does it take place? If canonically David is not mentally ill and therefore this is not just his askew perception of the world, then why is there such a strong 60s aesthetic?

Oliver asks if women are still not wearing bras ... what date was he frozen in?

What happened to David’s adoptive parents?

When did David go to college? Did he graduate? When was he admitted to Clockworks? How long was he there? When did Syd show up at Clockworks and how long were she and David together before she was dismissed? Why was she permitted to leave?

How much time passes between David and Syd kiss-switching at Clockworks and Clark showing up at Summerland?

What did the stars say?

Why does David love Syd (apart from her having symmetrical physical features, clear skin, & nice hair) and why does Syd love –and risk her life for– David in return?

How does Syd’s mind switch back to whoever’s body she switches into? How long does it take until the switch fades?

What exactly is Kerry/Cary? Their mother was expecting a girl, but had a boy, but then a girl appeared later ... ??

Who is Walter / The Eye, what exactly are his powers, what is his motivation, and who is he loyal to? From what I can gather, he broke away from Summerland to work for D3, but D3 seems to be keen on eradicating mutants.

How does he appear as Dr. Poole and what breaks the spell?

How does he knock out Ptonomy?

Why does his right eye look milky? Is it related to his power?

Did David really try to hang himself? Did he kill Dr. Poole? Did he really eat those tape recordings?

What exactly is D(ivision) 3? Are there other divisions? Is Summerland a division? What is the nature of the “war” going on between Summerland and D3? How did it start? How long has it been going on? What do both sides want? Are other mutants at Summerland (apart from those directly involved in David’s story) at all involved in the fight? Are most people on Earth aware of the existence of mutants?

What exactly is Clockworks? Is it a part of D3, or is it really just a mental institution? Does Dr. Kissinger know about David’s/Syd’s powers?

What did Philly mean when she told Syd “they’re watching”?

How does David figure out that his biological father had supernatural abilities of any kind, let alone psychic powers?

How did the Summerland Team (Syd/Kerry/Ptonomy) get into David’s mind to plant the false memory of Syd telling him how to escape from the pool in D3?

Did David’s adoptive parents really read him The World’s Angriest Boy?

Where the hell was Amy in Chapter 8?

Just finished s1 and I was underwhelmed, but I’m hoping going back through might bring me back around.

First I’ll list some questions / concerns / comments I can remember before I start Chapter 1 again.
