I was not expecting the parallel story with Charles (or him to pop up at all!) and while I would have loved to see the focus solely on Storm and her journey to get her powers back I still loved this episode a lot. So many good lines, so many epic moments and even the fanservice had depth <3 I really, truly love this show a lot and you can tell they put a lot of thought and heart into it and I deeply appreciate it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That Storm magical girl transformation was beyond gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩

Agreed! Storm is my favorite X-Men (and Marvel) character. I always felt like Storm was severely under-used in the live-action movies, so I am loving all the attention and storyline given to her on this series!

Im sick today so ive watched already

Xavier's vision was very interesting, i wonder if it was a reflection of the thoughts of the xmen back home?

Storm is a BAMF, loveeeeee her.

Haven't watched the new one yet but WHY DID HE GET FIRED??? Is this going to be the new Julianna Margulies/Archie Panjabi mystery??? I must know!!

Loved the Storm parts of the episode, but I didn't care much about the Shi'ar parts. I do think this episode was misplaced. It definitely dragged in parts, especially compared to last week. It kind of broke the flow.

I do wonder how they're gonna bring back Gambit. Will Cable do some timey-wimey stuff and fix the past? Will Gambit come back as the Horseman of Death?

Okay, so Charles likes to bark huh lmao
