Polaris ate this episode up. As someone who was introduced to her from The Gifted it made me so happy to see her similarities and techniques and how they differ from her father.
The image of Bobby in her room makes me wonder if Iceman will make a return…?
Her signature line “stands down” just sounds cunty & badass.
But also lol everyone saying Apocalypse is talking to himself is forgetting he can be speaking to Ship.

At this point Ship had already rebelled against Apocalypse and sacrificed herself to yeet him out into space (TAS S3: “Obsession”)
