* CompleteMonster: "[[Recap/LegionS2E6Chapter14 Chapter 14]]": [[spoiler:In one of the {{Alternate Universe}}s the episode [[AlternateTimeline focuses on]], [[BigBad Amahl Farouk]]--the Shadow King--[[TheBadGuyWins succeeds]] in his goal to [[TheCorrupter utterly corrupt]] David. Having tormented David since youth, Farouk sways him into using his powers to get ahead in the corporate world, reading minds and manipulating those around him. Eventually becoming the richest man on Earth and "uniting" all of humanity under him as subservients whom he keeps under constant psychic surveillance, Farouk has David keep his old boss around as an assistant just to mistreat her; tortures his sister Amy's mind until her nose bleeds in a petty show of power; and keeps a posse around him of men and women implied to be a [[SexSlave psychically enslaved harem]].]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Syd's DoubleStandardRapeSciFi and DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale scene in Season 2 led to some audiences considering the character UnintentionallyUnsympathetic. In Season 3, she has a conversation with her younger self that reveals she never intended to have sex with her mother's lover and he forced himself on her, with the intention of doing a HeinousnessRetcon that takes some responsibility for the event off her shoulders. However, the intention might still fall flat due to the situation and Syd's lack of remorse.

* FightSceneFailure: This isn't an action series, and the actress who plays Kerry was obviously not chosen based on her martial arts background. For a character who seems to live to fight, her punches and kicks tend to look pretty uncoordinated. She gets better in later seasons, probably as a result of some between-season training.
