@r_lewis we never got to see him drug her though. The way I see it is that there are two ways to interpret Syd's words. One is that she had been manipulated by the Shadowking when she said it and the other is that she was telling the truth, although how would she know? From Cary? When Cary looked, all we saw was David closing his eyes for a bit over Syd's body, as if to mind control or to have a deep thought. I'm still with David until I see proof that he's the bad guy and not someone who's reasonably dissatisfied with how he's been treated.
@rosetheflower As I see it, he clearly did "drug" her when she was knocked out and David also said so, saying she forgot that he loved him and he forced her to remember, or something in that realm. It's obviously a weird situation - but what isn't in this show - but for me once mind control enters the picture that's as non-consensual as it gets.
@r_lewis That's a really tough one. Because maybe he did mind-control her. Or maybe he just cleared her from Shadow King's influence.

They've been hinting at it all season, but making David literally the villain, with heavy themes like sexual abuse involved is a tough and ridiculously bold move, and I'm not sure whether audiences will go with it. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with it in the next season.
Season 2 hasn't for me been on the same level as the spectacular S1, but Legion is still one of the most inventive, interesting and engaging shows currently on TV.
