    "SPOILERS!!!"


    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This episode rocked! It had everything that reminded me of the classic X-men. And finally, Gambit.....and also Colossus. But why are they fighting alongside magneto?
    So many things were happening. Next season is going to be a must. No more high school antics, its all going down.

    Did anyone catch the little Rogue and Gambit scene? Excellent.

    Any idea when this might rerun?

    Wow...this episode was amazing. You were right, Jim, nothing will ever be the same again.

    The Good:
    *GAMBIT! I just about died when I saw those hands shuffle cards. The suggestive glances he exchanged with Rogue were awesome, too. A hint of things to come, perhaps?
    *The brief glimpse of Amanda. I was wondering what happened to her.
    *Scott throwing off Jean's arms. At first I thought he was going to embrace her, and the last scene would be them at last kissing. Thank god it wasn't. (Man, I hate Jean!)
    *New Mutants: I'm glad they had a strong role in this episode, though did anyone else notice that little Jaime was missing?
    *Mutants exposed: 'Bout time it happened.

    The Bad:
    *Gambit, Pyro, and Collussus had not a *single* line of dialogue. What a tease!
    *The Sentinel: I didn't like how it was handled. It seemed like one big contrived plot device to expose mutants. But Whatever.
    *What about Lance and Kitty? I was disappointed that there wasn't any interaction between this couple, especially considering what happened in The HeX Factor.
    *Agatha Harkiss: Did she fall in a plot hole or something?
    *Tabitha: Why couldn't she *stay* gone?
    *The B'Hood joining the X-Men: I was *so* happy, because I thought the B'Hood would be the X-Men's teamates on a permanent basis, but it was all part of Mystique's trap. Dang.

    Unfortunetly, this episode raises too many questions: Where is Xavier? Are Magneto and Quicksilver dead? What will happen to the captured Mutants? What is Mystique's plans? What will become of Magneto's new team? Where can the X-Men go, now that the institute's destroyed? Why did Pietro betray Wanda again? Will the Risty/Mystique thing EVER be resolved?!


    Arrrgh, I can't wait until next season!!!

    Scott was great not as level headed as usual. and i hope next season Gambit and Collossus gO X.But the only reason i gave it 4 and half stars was gambit,collossus and Pyro got no dialog, Couldnt they find VA's for em. But thats only minor. the rest was great!

    Wow!

    I really had gotten to a point where I was just generally turned off by X-men: Evolution, this season, though, has really brought me into it. It's gotten better and better. And this was definitely the best of the best.

    It was cool seeing Pyro, Collussus, and Gambit. I was really curious what mutants would be on Magneto's team. I wonder how and why Gambit and Collusus were on his team, though. Anyway, it was definitely worth waiting for. And Sandoz has a point, it really raises tons of questions. Next season can't come fast enough for me!

    Definitely worth the wait and the hype.

    Wow!!!! I'm amazed :)

    I was happy to see Pyro, Gambit, The Sentinels and Colossus. I can't wait to see season three. This was one of the best episodes of this season. I'm happy that Storm had screen time. I have on complaints on this episode. Season three is gonna rock!

    HOLY PLOT DEVELOPMENT, BATMAN!

    Great Googly-Moogly! What an episode!

    This sucker had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Thank goodness I taped so that I could fast-forward through those pesky commercials! ^_^

    Anyway, I agree that while this episode kicked major boo-tay, it left many questions unanswered. Foremost in my mind, of course, is: Where the heck is Professor X?!?

    Also, now that the mutants have been exposed to the whole world (their classmates and friends included), where will they go? Will they ever attend school again? And what about college!?! How is any one of them expected to get a good career without a decsent college education! Or maybe I'm just overreacting.

    In conclusion, AWESOME EPISODE! VIVE LA EVOLUTION!

    1 good thing has come of everyone finding out their mutants. Jean and Scott will be together because the people they were with will more than likely dump them leaving them to console each other =D

    These were the best 2 episodes to date. I was even motivated to put in X-men The Movie again.

    The Scarlett Witch is very cool. Also, what's the girl's name that burnt a hole through the wall today. Is that Firestar that began with the Spiderman and his Amazing Friends cartoon? I know that she was a X-woman too.

    I'd noticed that Xavier hadn't used his powers much, too. I definitely think he has been missing before this episode. It certainly is a giveaway during this episode that he's not his normal self. Still, there are many unanswered questions that this episode leaves us with. Certainly a great cliffhanger.

    It'll be good to see more Gambit and Colossus next season too! I'm definitely psyched!

    That's supposed to be Magma from the New Mutants, but I refer to her as not-Amara.

    The Magma in the Mutants looked pretty much how they have Boom Boom. And she was incredibly short-tempered, not whiny like the Amara on Evolution. She was also much more powerful, but that goes without saying.

    My big question is, where were Rahne and Sunspot? I mean, I think I saw Sunspot in the back at the end, but other than that the three youngest mutants were MIA.

    It's nice that Cannonball finally had some dialogue for once. Although they forgot to give him a kentucky accent.

    I noticed Collossus fulfilled Cannonballs normal role. He pretty much just stood in the back and did nothing. Gambit was flipping those cards around and Pyro was cooler than he had any right to be, but Collossus just stood there while Blob, Lance, and Shadowcat dropped a building on him. I desperately hope he shows up again next season to occupy Wolvie's place until Logan's rescued. For one thing, with the pseudo lead-in from Shadow Dance, they could do a really kickass "Collossus and Nightcrawler rescue Ilyanna" episode. I think the logistics behind voicework kept them from voicing the three new true Brotherhoods. They prolly want to bring the three back, and finding people who'd be able to do convincing Cajun, Russian, and Australian accents were beyond their timeframe.

    I'm now really looking forward to next season. Now if only they could get a head writer who wasn't more of an Avengers fan....

    Actually, I have an idea as to when/how Xavier went missing. Remember The HeX Factor? After freeing Wanda, Mystique goes back in the institution, and says she has "unfinished buisness" to take care of, but we never see what she actually does. Prof. X was in the institution. Perhaps Mysti had him locked up?
