This episode was directed by Len Wiseman. He also directed Underworld and Total Recall. Not the best movies, but movies none the less and it shows. Despite some claims that I’ve heard that the show looks like it was made on a small budget I certainly don’t so. It may not be Game of Thrones production level, but it’s still pretty impressive and doesn’t make me think – cheap. Especially the special effects on Blink.
The plot on the other hand is only ok for now. Sometimes, the preaching is a bit too much on the nose. I am not a fan of the Polaris plotline, even though I really like the character. Her adventures in jail are just not interesting inside an X-Men show. surprisingly, Kate Strucker, the boring mother from the previous episode was the most interesting character in this episode. It’s nice that they found a plotline for her that doesn’t revolve around her kids. Speaking of kids Lauren and Andy got to showcase their powers and it was pretty impressive. Reed Strucker got the most interesting plotline. Probably because it’s a famous actor. It was really interesting to know how the background story of this X-men world. We are starting to piece together how did things in their world got so bad.
When it comes to Jace Turner, I don’t think I was ever so indifferent to someone’s problems or feelings. I am not sure if it’s a problem in his acting or intentional, he is just one of the characters that I hope will be taken out soon.
It was a good episode generally. We got to see how hard it is to be a mutant in the current world and got a glimpse into a game changing event, perhaps connected to Logan? The cliffhanger of this episode definitely left me curious.
I give it 8/10
