This is just too good. Ending was so hypeee
professor X is GOATED he has real presence . Cyclops being back into means is the start of serious business against the villains . Excellent episode and backstory
Yet another episode that made me shout "YES!" The way this show drags emotions out of me is so weird but I'm not questioning it.
Fuck man
Captain America
:fire::fire:
My head literally exploded as soon as Cap appeared!!!
that mutant parrot girl made me tear up really cute design :cry: and sad
I haven't slept for 24 hours, but I don't think it's my fault that this episode was a bit confusing, but the fight scenes were still great and it was emotional. Overall, it was a good episode. It was nice to see America's top cop too. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
Bright Eyes was pretty much place setting for the three part finale but like with all of X-Men ’97 it did so with a punch. While we see pretty much the whole cast throughout this episode this was Rogue’s story more than anyone else. Seeing her process her grief through sheer rage as she rampages to find the people responsible for the Genosha massacre was harrowing. She goes dark in a way that really reminds you she started her place in X-Men as a member of the Brotherhood and there’s a satisfaction to seeing her go ape-shit on everyone from Captain America to General Ross and finally Gyrich.
This episode also sees how everyone is coping with events post Genosha. We see Scott’s simmering tension with the human politics blocking aid to the country, Beast moving further away from Xaviers mission of tolerance and Jean be.ing psychically haunted by the echos thousands of lives but short in the tragedy. All small but viscerally impactful moments throughout the episode.
Given the consistent quality writing I’m so excited to see how this story unfolds in the weeks to come.
Waking up early, bleary eyed and watching this show reminds me of early-morning cartoon watching when I was a kid. Except with more tears now!
Getting better and better. :thumbsup_tone1:
I'm not here for you. I'm here for Sankta Alina.
Just so full...is this that much better than the first season? I'm really digging the writing, and the execution.

The first three episodes were so porely written I started to dislike characters like Kaz and Nikolai. Dialogue was bad and sometimes even cringey. Luckily the show pulled itself together these last two episodes. Kaz and Nicolai even shine in really good scenes now.
baghra escapes / genya smashes things / nikolai makes me laugh / wylan and jesper bang - just for that last one this is a 10/10
How is this show so heartfelt and emotionally strong
David and Genya…
Never fails to satisfy....
Loved the outcome of Kaz' gambit.
now THAT’S the Crows content we needed!
The first decent episode this season. Clear storytelling and some good writing.
Prime Directive f*ck-ups always make good material for intriguing episodes. This one might not have had the depth and intellect worthy of a Jean-Luc Picard, like in the good old days, but it was fun to watch and actually quite reminiscent of said good old days.
One of the best things about this episode is that it got people talking again about that wonderful creature that is Pike's hair. Can't wait to see its character development throughout this season!
Now that felt like classic Star Trek. Ortegas was given some good character development other than "I look like a lesbian" and it offered decent storytelling without the writers boorish social politics wedged in.
I like that Captain Pike's disguise was mainly parting his hair on opposite side.
Can't La'an catch a break, damn:sob:
Also, I'm pretty sure if you saw Chris's perfect hair you wouldn't think he's a manual laborer lmao
An improvement over last week's disappointing outing, for sure. It was nice that Ortegas was given a little bit of a spotlight this week but I think the writers need to be careful not to make her too one-note with the jokey dialogue; they need to make her a well-rounded character with some emotional depth beyond "I'm sassy and I fly the ship". Otherwise, really enjoyed the main plot - another episode that felt like classic Trek output.
this episode made me thinking about it I half to talk about how the shiar empire and the idea of impearilsm it was a bit in the background how the slaves were confirmed to the empire in real life is like Hitler and Germany in 39-45 when Hitler used those ideas to cause war and pain to innocent civilians and america and how they used tools of war to confirm the citizen . but whether am reading too much it hit a ring to me earthlings fight for a piece of land yet in reality we are minute in comparison with the whole galaxy makes seem petty but that didn't stop past war lords who by the way are the most remembered in the books it's so sad my main point evil is what keeps us from working together to build a better world without petty lenses view . I hope I touch someone we move towards that future ))) .
I have a deep fondness for Shi'ar empire shenanigans so while I can tell this episode will feel like a letdown for some it was a hit for me. Charles Xavier is always at his most charming when he's madly in love so him and Lilandra courtship is always fun to see. The emotional turmoil of choosing love and forgetting his family was emotionally resonant.
And as someone who's currently reading through Uncanny X-Men I appreciate that this episode highlighted that the Shi'ar Empire is kinda in fundamental opposition to the core value of the X-Men. Cause where I'm at they're treated as casual allies whose imperialist nature is never really challenged by anyone other than Corsair and the Starjammers.
On the Lifedeath side of things I continue to love Storm and Forge. The concept of a lie seeping so deep into your skin it affects your psyche is really well explored here. And I think they absolutely nail Storm regaining her power. Its sweeping and dgrand an the score just goes OFF. Whilie I've had quibbles about the structure and pacing of Lifedeath I have no notes about its emotional impact.
“I do not fear death”
“I know! That’s why you rush to play dead. You fear living”
Damnnnnn! Those words hit deep
To be fair that last episode was so perfect it was hard one to follow. Felt like this episode was a great setup for something bigger to come and can’t wait. Damn these once a week episodes. Give me them all at once and let me binge them in all its glory hahah.
Another home run. This show has me in a vice grip and I don't want it to let go. I actually stood up and cheered during the episode's climax (and I'm not a stand-up-and-cheer kind of guy).
not as impactful as the previous one but still a great episode, setting up the base for the very promising last eps of the season. i'm soooo excited
This series don’t have the right to be that wholesome. This episode is perfect.
