Headscratchers / Legion (2017)

• How was Sydney able to seduce her mom's boyfriend and sleep with him while using her mother's body? If she switched back to herself mid-coitus, wouldn't she have instantly switched bodies with the boyfriend since she was having...ahem...skin-skin contact?
  • Who's to say she didn't? Syd's description of the events only tells us that her mother rushed into the restroom almost immediately after the switch ended and that everyone was screaming.
  • Season 2 shows some of the event. The boyfriend's screaming insistence that "nothing happened" seem to suggest that they weren't touching when she switched back. She might have pulled away just beforehand.
  • Sydney's body is fully clothed again when he changes back. So even if they had been touching when the change happened, it's likely that her clothing prevented skin-to-skin contact.
• The device Farouk got from Division 3 that he uses to to turn Amy’s body into Lenny so she can inhabit it: Just why would they have such a horrifying device?
  • This could be the means the Eye used to masquerade as Rudy near the end of season 1. Since Walter is (presumably) not a telepath, there was no swapping of consciousnesses, he just used transmogrify himself into Rudy's form.
• In the Season 2 finale, Cary briefly touches Syd's bare elbow with his bare hand, and they do not switch bodies. This is presumably a mistake by the actor that was not caught or deemed trivial by the showrunners.
• So... what the hell was the minotaur?
• Given how it's established that Kerry's body only ages when she's separate from Cary and their mutant power was active right from birth, why did she first appear as a child the same age as him rather than an infant?
