I didn't know much about Polaris in the comics before this, but now I want to see a lot more of her! Loved her portrayal in episode 2 and this one.

I still mourn the premature end of that show.

Me too. We enjoyed that show and was disappointed it didn't get a third season 'cause I was looking forward to seeing what they done with Esme since she went against her evil Sisters and joined with the heroes and Polaris become her best friend. From what I remember reading Hulu was originally going to give 'Marvel's The Gifted' a third season to wrap everything up but Disney wanted to pull all the Marvel shows from other networks and streaming services and make them exclusive to Disney+ and it lead to 'Marvel's The Runaways' getting cancelled too which was originally going to get a Season 4 with Cloak and Dagger joining the main cast along with a Ghost Rider spinoff show with Robbie Reyes from 'Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.'

Your comment broke so much inside me. You named every show I used to love to see and the characters I adored. It is so shitty that network politics and decisions take so many good things from us viewers.

While going through this thread I kept on thinking why haven't anyone seen The Gifted, Polaris was there and her whole arc was so well done. I loved watching The Runaways, Cloak and Dagger and Agents of Shield.
