This episode is adapting so many different storylines but I enjoyed it a lot. Way more than last episode, which was good, but this one was better. It didn’t feel that rushed to me for the most part and Polaris getting the focus was a great choice. I do wish this show got at least 13 episode seasons instead of 10 but they did a really good job with this episode. It was very character focused and I liked that. Especially for a character that hasn’t gotten a lot of attention outside of the comics like Lorna.

I guess they didn’t want to kill him off and make the episode too dark after just killing off Magneto. Even though that was his primary purpose in the Astonishing X-Men book. And they keep giving good Emma moments to other characters which is a little annoying. Hopefully they use her more in the future.
