When we last left our X-Men my sweet sweet Gambit was DEAD, somebody better fix that. Charles is alive and heading back to earth. I love that we are getting more Kurt. And my Storm has her powers back and she knows what happened to Genosha so theoretically she is headed back to the X-Men. The last couple of episodes were extremely emotional so I am hoping for a bit of a break but we now have to deal with the aftermath of Gambit’s death so we will see how that goes. The sentinels attack on earth really solidifies that at the very least, Magneto has a point. I think by this point in the story it is really hard for the mutants to have any hope in Charles’ peaceful philosophy.

The episode ends with Charles calling his students to him and it’s great and all but by this point all Magneto has essentially declared war and everyone has come around to his way of thinking. The sentinels attack really hardened everyone towards the idea of peace and idealism. The time for peace talks is certainly over and it is going to take a lot for Professor X to settle everyone down. We are reaching a climax in the season with only 2 episodes left, it will be interesting to see how we leave the season. My best guess with all my comic book knowledge is that our mutants split themselves into two teams. Those that are going to back Charles and those that are going to back Erik.
