Decent episode.

I've enjoyed where they've taken this show and the characters. Glad they've family reunited the Strucker family.

The plot didn't really advance that much in this episode though.

It's probably just the X-men fan in me but I love this show.

I'm not sure how you can say the plot didn't advance, though, basically nothing that happened was a throwaway, from the flashback to Marcos's plot to the twins harnessing their power to the rescue attempt and the hound reveal (which was admittedly spoiled in the previews). Granted some of that was pretty straightforward but it did move along at a brisk pace.

I definitely thought it was a bit too much of a red herring for them to go "this guy's powers are such and such... but oh he can also do this other huge thing as well."

Been a Jamie Chung fan since RW San Diego, and the Blink character is interesting, but those contacts are just too distracting and take me out of her scenes.

My wife and I decided to start watching this now that the season is over and it was renewed. Pretty decent for a comic book show. We've sampled other ones but none have ever stuck with us. Came off to cheesy. Never bothered with the Netflix ones or CW ones.

Without jumping ahead and getting the season spoiled, it looks like there are a ton of X-Men connections. I wonder if they will ever introduce a "real" one or just name-dropping.
