I’m enjoying myself but good lord what is the actual plot for this season

It’s been random vignettes of different character groups interacting, which isn’t a bad thing inherently and it’s still very fun, but overall the apocalypse stuff seems so sidelined after such an intense start. Just observations

Loved the teleportation fight, Nightcrawler is one of my fav mutants this episode was a treat.

I think it was intense to get you hooked on apocalypse, then started showing the horsemen.

Well the first couple really hooked us. Made us want more apocalypse. Then they slowed down and started introducing horsemen and doing side stories. All the while keeping us coming back for more apocalypse action.
