Hopefully she gets a cool costume in season 2. Magneto gets his, so so should she.

So,..... what happened in the double episode???

spoilers:

Lorna, Sage, and Andy Strucker left with the Cuckoos to form a new Brotherhood. Also Lorna crashed a plan with Dr. Campbell and that Senator in it. So yeah, going for a X-Men vs. Brotherhood-esque conflict over ideology/methods it would seem.

end of spoilers

Nope, 2 hours last night. No more until season 2.

Ep 11 aired 2 weeks ago by itself, #'s 12 & 13 were shown last night, and combined together as the S1 finale.

Fast National TV ratings for The Gifted last night.

The Season finale was up a whopping 42.9% in the core 18-49 year old demographic and 33.9% among all viewers live. It was on the very highest end of my realistic hopes for what the season finale could have done as in get back to around episode 3-6 ratings live.

I am sure there are smiles at Fox this afternoon looking at the numbers which most certainly justifies their decision to give the show a second season as it tells Fox that live audiences who felt part of the season dragged were willing to give the show another chance and at least that many and likely more will be willing to for the season 2 start.

Even without its usual around 100% added DVR numbers and an additional 50% extra other platforms viewership a 1.0 season average live on its own is for Fox more then enough to justify renewal for a show as long as its not vastly under preforming its lead in. Either way the numbers for the season finale were the highest end of realistic hopes.

Yeah I've been loosely monitoring social media chatter it seems primarily positive, more than I thought it would be actually since like I said I personally found Lorna at the end to be a bit much, and not even showing the Fenris power in action was also disappointing. But overall very strong finale

It's not really all that surprising that the finale would have good numbers. It was the finale and it lasted two hours, after all. Season premiere of next season will probably be of similar ratings. The real metric will be an episode or two after that season two premiere.
