Clips are coming out quicker and quicker on You Tube and what I saw I enjoyed. I wish I could see the whole show, though.

I agree. Rogue saying 'You was gone, gal." was an understated version of this. Rogue and Storm were like sisters in TAS, and now they've barely interacted. Would have been nice to see Rogue expound on that, and more pointedly acknowledge her feeling of betrayal, even if Ororo really had to go on a whole journey of self-discovery and healing to restore her powers, AFTER SHE TOOK A SHOT MEANT FOR MAGNETO. But I guess Rogue is too much in her feelings to understand all of that. Still, Ororo should have said something about Remy, as their history, also unexplored in the show except for one line of dialogue("I know you[Gambit] better than anyone," looks at Rogue....), implies they should be close too. Basically Storm got sidelined this season, and I don't like that! If Cyke got to be the center of season 1, Storm better be the center of season 2(Cyke can go on his own side quest in search of meaning...)!

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
I love how they payed homage to Pryde of the X-Men and Fatal Attractions.
I just hate that they cram so many stories into single episodes that they don't breathe. The stakes get lost because its one big holy shit moment, after another, after another. But I love it anyway.
In TAS Storm seemed way closer with Rogue than with Jean. Their only interaction I remember is Jean asking her to bring a glass of water lol. I guess she was too busy fainting to hang out with Storm
Yeah, that's my one major gripe with the show so far. There's literally no reason for her absence in episodes 7 and 8. Also they really rushed Lifedeath.Basically Storm got sidelined this season, and I don't like that!
Since no one is going to say it, I will ask the important question here.
How many people thought Gillen was writing this episode when Cable had the Sinister Diamond on his forehead? Lmaoooooo!!!!

Hickman was right!!!!!!! Long live Krakoa
Sinister is a twisted little creepazoid and I just love it. Also this Jean rocks. She was stretching her muscles on Sinister until Nathan showed up. Storm should form a protective shield around herself like Magneto and Jean do during missions. She has enormous offensive capabilities especially in open areas but the first serious hit usually takes her out.
I know comics Xavier is a prick, but TAS Xavier has always been a saint, so it really pisses me off that so many folks online are acting like he deserved all the disrespect and abuse everyone shoveled on him today. Bro should have stayed with Liandra and let the Shi'ar wash his memories clean of all these mouthy little ingrates.
Another great episode.
Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

This was... not my favorite. Not only super predictable, but DeMayo rushes to check the plot points off while running over most of the characters. The only ones who you can tell there's a care for their development and characterization are Jean and Cyclops. The others feel like pieces getting moved to get to a particular scene.
For instance, what are Wolverine thoughts on Genosha? Or about Magneto during the entire season? We don't know. Why didn't Magneto talk to Storm about her taking the hit for him? Why didn't Storm mention Gambit (TAS established she's the one who knows him best), why is her relationship with Rogue being hijacked for her relationship with Jean? Rogue's characterization, by the way, lost all of the complexity it was given in Episode 5.
Cable feels like an aftertought, only there to enhance Jean and Cyclops stories. Whenever he appeared in TAS, he had a mission statement, a big role to play. His showing here was bad. Storm's showing was also whatever. Her big comeback and she's there to uplift Jean.
Jean vs Sinister was the best part.
Last episode was so much better in a lot of surprising ways.
Hopefully the next one will be a return to the more complex take from past episodes.

Liked the episode, bit I feel like they are doing way too much. I was expecting more of Storm's return and her and Rogue barely interacting annoys me since they seemed closer than Storm and Jean in the original. Loved Jean's fight with Sinister but not looking forward to possibly seeing the Phoenix again so quickly with so much going on already
If Jean goes Phoenix again she will be the one getting sidelined in s2
