While the leaders of the MU try to capture Dr. Campbell and stop his Hound program before it can get the support to go national (and thus sentence MORE mutants to brainwashing and slavery) Reed, Cait, and the mutants at MU headquarters get to face down Jace Turner and a few of Campbell’s Hounds. The […]

TV Review: The Gifted S1 E12 eXtraction
May 12, 2018When last we met the Struckers were reeling from the children being kidnapped and forced to perform as lab monkeys for Dr. Campbell (who used the data he gathered to develop his own way to fuse mutant powers to enhance his Hound program, the program where he brainwashes mutants into hunting down and killing or […]
TV Review: The Gifted S1 E9 outfoX
February 24, 2018We are definitely building to something big here. While the Struckers try to come to terms with what Otto revealed to them last episode (their great grandparents were terrorists and the kids have the same powers), Esme, the telepath the MU crew just rescued goes a little crazy in her attempts to rescue her family […]
TV Review: The Gifted S1 E8- Threat of eXtinction
February 10, 2018Ba-boom! This episode has some side plots that get overshadowed, namely Blink, Polaris, and Eclipse’s rescue of hidden, Underground Railroad mutants, and discovery of Campbell’s sleeper agents inside the mutant populace.

TV Review: The Gifted S1E7 eXtreme Measures

January 13, 2018After finally getting a clue and sacrificing himself to protect a mother and child, Reed is in SS “protective” custody with, surprise, surprise, Polaris. Meanwhile, desperate to free Polaris, Eclipse goes back to the cartel he used to work for.(I’m sure that will work out great.) Blink begins to suspect that Dreamer implanted false memories […]

TV Review: The Gifted S1 E2- rX
December 23, 2017*From here on out I might be including spoilers. Reader beware. Episode 2 launches with a flashback of the Strucker family out doing family things and father Reed fails to be a truly good person by partially protecting a mutant child and her father. At this point daughter Lauren probably already has her powers. Reed […]
