Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
Whether or not you actually enjoyed the movie Legion, Dominion is clearly a superior continuation of that saga. This world is a more interesting place 25 years after the angelic apocalypse. The series' second episode, "Godspeed," didn't have much in the way of standout moments or big action sequences. It took a quieter, more methodical approach in terms of fleshing out each character and their respective roles in the brewing war. A lot of the material was beneficial, while some illustrated that there are a few extraneous players getting in the way of the rest of the cast.
One of the notable things about this show is how little of the tone and visual style of Legion is present. And by and large that's a good thing. Legion was small and self-contained to the point of being dull. Even so, it was interesting to watch the opening flashback scene in this episode with a younger Jeep and Alex. The small-town setting and close-quarters combat with angels was much more reminiscent of the movie. And it's nice to know we haven't necessarily seen the last of Langley Kirkwood's Jeep, despite his unexpected death in the pilot.
