Right with you on your review. “Oh, so we’re going there again?” I’ll tell you what i would have loved. Rather than Rene being the stoolie (which makes no sense as he doesn’t even have a job if Oliver is in jail), what if it had been Not Laurel? Would not her DNA be an absolute match for Dead Laurel? What a great…

They seem to not know what all the refugees’ powers are, which is strange given that it’s highly relevant information. For instance, last week, they completely forgot they had a telepath even though they were in a situation where their first thought should have been, “Go get the telepath.” Ditto the illusions kid when…

Yeah, there’s got to be a mutant with the power to disrupt electricity.

They should be checking everybody for wrist tattoos, just to be sure.

My guess is that they don’t really care about X-Men cinematic continuity (just like every other X-Men writer for the past 17 years), and they’re just doing their own thing.

They imply that there are dozens of mutants at the shelter, especially since more have been pouring in since Sentinel’s crackdown. Yet, somehow, the only mutants with any powers useful enough for an attack like this are the 5 leads? I know they’re the ones getting the exposure, but really, let’s see some other mutants…

I hope that’s not the case. We saw scenes of Garrett Dillahunt’s Trask guy talking about their “asset” being lost with with other people on his team. There is no reason he wouldn’t be talking about Esme as plan B in that sitation. Unless, of course, he has fourth wall breaking powers like Deadpool and knows to clam up…

The writers tried a bit of misdirection with her, but she’s on the side of the mutants. Maybe she’s part of the Gifted’s version of the Hellfire club.

Glad to see Dreamer do something with her powers instead of agonize over using them and having used them.

For what it’s worth, I found this review nicely engaged and enthused about the show, Jesse.

Sage’s Trinity look is even worse in the comics

You’re coming at it from the same place I am. I’m beginning to find the whole Mutant Warehouse funny, as that is an awful lot of mutants in one very large building, with cars full of wanted people coming and going all the time. Sentinel Services sucks at their jobs.

Like introducing Chekhov’s telepath in the same episode where they needed a telepath

‘’The Gifted is not a show that avoids or transcends clichés. But it does sometimes step through them with a certain nimble economy’’.

dear The Gifted music director: you should be using music from Wagner’s Die Walküre for Fenris not Schubert’s Erlkönig. also, use an actual recording from the 50s not one from 2013.

I liked the stuff with Blink and the kid. That’s the warmest side we’ve seen from any mutant in the Underground.

Blink teleporting Thunderbird to get the drop on the speedster was a nice bit of business.

Sentinel Services has been pretty incompetent thus far. Interesting that Agent Turner wasn’t even in the episode.

I’ve never gotten that impression. Jesse does a good job at looking at the show as it’s own thing while also not ignoring its comic book roots. Which is difficult because it’s easy to let my comic book fandom do all the work that the show isn’t. They throw out the name of one of the Stepford Cuckoos or finally connect…

I thought she said Sentinel Services had her daughter, but I wasn’t paying super-duper close attention.  Honestly I kept expecting the show to reveal that she was the real infiltrator hound since why would you mark all your secret double agents with a readily identifiable tattoo?
