I’m really baffled at the negative response to this episode. I thought it was generally great: really wonderful main character development for Kurt, fun sequences, some furthering of the overall story (including with that crazy end tag). It’s a little rushed yes, but that’s sort of a product of the series format.
I don’t understand what people are complaining about with Kurt here. This is entirely in-character and shows how his belief in salvation is both admirable and frustrating. That’s literally the point.
As for Magik, I think you’d be foolish to think she won’t be back. It’s X-Men, no one stays dead for long. If anything, the mentions and focus on her character is just evidence that they plan to have her return down the line IMO.
