The Gifted is an American television series created for Fox by Matt Nix, based on Marvel Comics' X-Men properties. It is connected to the X-Men film series, set in an alternate timeline where the X-Men have disappeared. The show is produced by 20th Century Fox Television in association with Marvel Television, with Nix serving as showrunner. The series stars Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker as ordinary parents who take their family on the run after they discover their children's mutant abilities. Sean Teale, Natalie Alyn Lind, Percy Hynes White, Coby Bell, Jamie Chung, Blair Redford, and Emma Dumont also star in the show. The series received a put pilot commitment at Fox after a previous attempted X-Men television series did not move forward at the network in 2016; The Gifted was ordered to series in May 2017. The Gifted's first season aired from October 2, 2017, to January 15, 2018, over 13 episodes. It received mostly positive reviews from critics and "solid" viewership. In January 2018, the series was renewed for a second season.

OK, so only substantial problems I have with this show right now are: - The Bryan Singer aesthetic (never mind his general involvement, being a sex pest and all)
- The flatscan parents - mostly that they're the two more established, recognizable names on the cast, so we'll probably never be rid of them
- The Eclipse/Carmen subplot, which I hope is way off in the rearview mirror
I think as a whole the show is getting much better and I have hopes for the next season. More involvement with Feige and less from Singer should go over nicely, especially as the show embraces the comics more and more.

http://instagr.am/p/BeT4DzGAVAy I like this exchange in the comments, too:
- emmadumont.fanpage Just a random thought, but would Polaris tell to Magneto he is her father or just avoid telling it like quicksilver did in X-Men apocalypse ?
- emmadumont She would tell him. I HATED that he didn't tell Mags in the film! Polaris would be like. What the heck man!? You abandoned me! You suck!

I hope Johnny has more to do next season. Maybe take some screentime from the parents and give it to him?

My biggest issues with this show, in order:
- The Strucker parents still being alive.
- The Cuckoos speaking mental commands, although it's funnier since they established with the non-verbal release of Senator Bigot from his self-suffocation that it isn't necessary and they just do it to be Dramatic.
- Scenes where Johnny is wearing long sleeves.

I have to saw the episode or two late in the season where Thunderbird finally showed some emotion - especially when he punches a thing while everyone's bickering in the HQ - was kind of cathartic. I'm not sure how much of his wooden-ness was in the writing or the acting, but he finally got mad and it was good.

I'm ecstatic about Polaris becoming Hellfire King next season and Sage in all BDSM glory her chief advisor.

I'm ecstatic about Polaris becoming Hellfire King next season and Sage in all BDSM glory her chief advisor. has a theory I like - that Sage is spying on the Hellfire Club (as she does), because the Cuckoos can't hack her computer brain and/or she becomes so caught up in being a convincing member (to avoid suspicion) that she forgets she's spying. |

He was put in the van with all the kids so I'm assuming he made it to the meet-up at the end. I do hope someone grabbed his favorite toy, though.

I hope she fulfills her spy destiny and steers Polaris away from making some cardinal mistakes like becoming magnetic Dark Phoenix disaster. Cuckoos can easily sway her to the dark side, no? Why don't you summon darknessatnoon to this schway new digs to post? |
