The Gifted Season 2 – Episode 5 Spoiler Free Review

Ok, so this was a filler episode. It don't mean that it was a bad episode, but at the end of the day when you think about it. Nothing actually happened in this episode, it just dealt with the consequences of the previous episode.

The Mutant Underground has to deal with the problem that the Inner Circle has created in the previous episode. Blink is the one who steps up and I have a feeling that her role will become bigger with the passing of time. Also, I am not sure she will stay with the Underground in the end.

A character who is getting less and less screen time is Polaris. However, as I don't like what the actress has done with the character I am not complaining. I am complaining about the script. Polaris was in a mutant mental hospital, and it makes no sense for her character to behave so heartless to someone who has been through a similar experience.

I still don't like Andy no matter how much the show tries to make him likable. To me he is still just an annoying teenager and he is totally senseless in my eyes.

And since when is Kate more capable of logic than Thunderbird? It makes no sense. He is the one with army training as this episode reminds us.

Turner as a character is really annoying. If the show was trying to make him sympatric I think they missed the mark. His plan is only half logical and poorly executed. I understand the need to show us the purifiers, but I wish they would do it with a new character and not his.

I am not sure how I feel about the Days of Future Past Easter Egg at the end of the episode. It's kind of cool, but it's also not really logical in the context of the Days of Future Past. It makes sense within the show, but not as an Easter Egg.

It was just a decent episode. Not particularly interesting. I had a difficult time actually remember what happened in the episode as it was so uneventful.

I give it a 7/10

I'm having a hard time remembering any thing in any episode this season... The script is horrible and the characters re not acting as they should or how we came to know them last season. I get the whole 'losing-atlanta-changed-them' bit, but the changes are top drastic and don't all make much sense.
There was an Easter Egg? I totally missed it.

This season does start like 6 months after the previous one so that leaves room for change in behavior. But yeah, for now it's not really good.
About the Easter Egg, well spoiler alert, the morlocoks branded the mutants that joined them with a big M on them.
