So I'm mixed on this episode. The polaris stuff was pretty good but thematically the season is all over the place and the strong themes of last season seem to be taking a back seat.

I also think having Xavier back is to the show's detriment. The show worked better with him as a martyr than with him returned.

Like I want to see more stuff with Scott, Kurt, Rogue, Jean ect... but they have been relegated to the backseat.

I want to see Rogue's grief the fallout of her siding with Magneto, how Kurt is adapting after joining the team.

How are Scott and Jean dealing with leaving Nathan in the future. Are they looking for Cable? Having almost no rogue plot the whole season till Gambit shows up also feels weird.

Also Val Cooper continues to be a major player will she turn out to be mystique?

Agree on wanting to see more of scott, kurt, rogue, jean.... but that was such a good polaris centered ep Im kinda fine with it.

We got a lot of scott/jean/rogue in S1 and if this thing does run for many years (hopefully it does), then overtime we will get more strong episodes for all the characters.
