The Gifted [Marvel] [Fox] [** Spoilers **]

Slydice

Comic Con trailer for season 2

Slydice

Early in the trailer when she's in the office and the lights start flickering

The reflection in the window ..

like yeah .. it looks like an entrance to a corridors behind when the camera is

BUT .. the overall outline looks like the shape of Magneto's helmet (and maybe upper shoulders?) to me

Agent Coulson

Returns tonight.

CastorTroy

Actually not too fussed on returning to this

Agent Coulson

Amy Acker nothing more needs to be said

CastorTroy

Oh I'm not saying the women of the series aren't worth watching, but I just kept losing interest in the first season.
Of course I say that now, but will probably end up watching.
Think just too many comic based shows, where once there were too few.

pixelburp

I'm a bit nonplused about returning to this myself; the first season never grabbed me enough, between the irritating Strucker children, budget X-Men and atrocious dialogue. It was action packed and rattled along at a decent pace mind you.

CastorTroy

So about not watching it, turns out I did.

So are we expecting the baby to stay a baby or will there be a growth spurt somehow?
Did one of the Cuckoos have really skinny legs getting out of the car?
Not too much seemed to happen overall in this episode.

Slydice

Decent enough return.

I'd guess the

baby will stay a baby

Slydice

Reed looking like he's gonna

have some of the strongest powers on the show.. matter destruction/meltdown?

I was hoping that from the start.. 😂

Slydice

So..

a new mutant. Must be a big deal for a fight like this, or maybe it was just another test of Andy

Feels like their budget might have been cut.. green screen for car trips?

Slydice

Just been catching up with Season 2. Episode 6 (the one with

the Inner Circle ambush

) was like.. a step above the usual episodes.

Three parts just seems done well:

• Reeds learning
  and breakthrough with his powers and the cliffhanger ending
• The backstory of
  the Frost quintuplets
• the overall story of
  the ambush.. although.. the show doesn't have the budget to make the execution match the idea

I looked up the wiki and the one thing that jumped out was the writers ( Dawn Kamoche & Ariella Blejer) hadn't written an episode for the show before:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gifted_(U.S._TV_series)#Episodes

I checked them out on imdb and it looks like they work mostly on the same projects with their most involvement in Sharp Objects and season 2 of Hand of God. Didn't realise HoG had a 2nd season.

Arcsurvivor

Best part of season 1 for me when they met the other mutants and learned about their powers.

Slydice

Just caught up. Pretty decent end shot on the facility.

Polaris powers in view. Gives the impression there's gonna be some big stuff for her in the future.

Kinda surprised me how they did the Andy and Rebecca story. Hadn't realised they had kinda

built this thread of innocence around Andy until he killed her

Mr E

Finished this over the weekend. Satisfying ending.

Almost back to season 1 status quo (minus the casualty in the finale). Is he really dead? We'll see...

As for the very end... was that a Blink/Clarice from the future?

EoinMcLovin

The Gifted has been cancelled

Slydice

Just finished. It wrapped up fine

and obviously left a door open for where they wanted to go. Felt like maybe there was even a chance Reed was still alive but full on power now.

The show really looked like it suffered from budget cuts towards the end. Saying that, the writers, the cast and whatever crew was left really looked to be giving it their all.

Pity about the cancellation but maybe a renewal and even more budget cuts would've really brought the show down.
