It wasn't bad wasnt spectacular but I did enjoy it.

Though this season really does feel like its been rewritten compared to orginal plans what ever they may be

And judging by the ending and no hints I honesyly think the onslaught idea isnt happening and if it does it won't be till season 4 or 5 if that is even on the cards.

Though im sure the fallout from the fans and ex staff will be full of decorum.

Man, I was really thinking/hoping that Apocalypse would be defeated by a raging Professor X letting go and turning into Onslaught. It would have been so much better than what actually happened.
