Yes, Esme's plan of attack completely surprised me (I assumed she was colluding with the enemy) and was shocking but also understandable. Adam is right, however. Any built bridges are now permanently demolished.
I knew she was manipulating the underground, but I had no idea why. When the subtitle called them "the Frost triplets" it made sense. She completely destroyed all good will that had been built up - she is evil.Yes, Esme's plan of attack completely surprised me (I assumed she was colluding with the enemy) and was shocking but also understandable.

Plenty of time to get to it. Next week is a repeat due to the NCAA championship. Then the following week is the 2-hour season finale.Looks like there was a new episode tonight. I was busy unpacking for a holiday vacation and couldn't get around to watching it, but I should get to it tomorrow on the DVR.
Well, we do have a Hellfire Club driving things. The Cuckoos manipulated everyone again in the last episode, though I'm sure most of us saw that happening and knew they must have leaked the information to Sentinel Services. I have no idea where they will leave things after the 2-hour finale.Maybe all of the mutants slowly turn to see Magneto's wisdom, and we have a new Brotherhood/Hellfire Club driving the narrative. That would be interesting.
Of course, Thunderbird was briefly a member of the X-Men in the comics and Lorna Dane/Polaris has been as well. I doubt we'll see regular X-Man cameo in the season finale, but if there is a second season I wouldn't be surprised to see some appearances.They keep mentioning "the X-Men chose us", makes me think they might spring a surprise on us and introduce one of the major (minor) X-Men characters in a one-off episode. Colossus? Rogue? Hank McCoy? Any thoughts? Or I am just spitting in the wind?

Very happy about this news. The back half of the season hasn't lived up to the first few episodes, with too much wheel-spinning, but this is still probably my favorite of the broadcast comics-based shows at the moment.Officially renewed for season two
Yes, the first season has given us ample argument for the militant position. But I'm rooting for the second season to be about the perils and pitfalls of taking a hard line. Campbell and Turner took a hard line, and it cost them everything.I have to say the deck seemed stacked pretty much on one side of the argument. If they had shown us ANY humans who weren't rabble rousers and weren't up in arms, then maybe the arguments of the passive mutants might be on firmer ground, but I really couldn't blame the mutants who were out to save themselves at any cost.
