The Gifted Season 1 Episode 2 "rX" Review


Caitlin and Eclipse try to help Blink when her powers exceed their limits.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I did like all the moments with Reed and him being interrogated by The Sentinel security and then I'm trying to threaten him or come up with some sort of case against him so that he had to tell them what he knew. And it was really interesting to see how Reed sort of kept calm and kept talking around every single threat that they gave him. The ending was interesting but I don't think it's going to work out the way that he wants it too because at the end of the day his kids are still mutants so they will eventually catch these kids for something some way or another so his deal to give up the mutant underground for his kids safety probably won't work out the way he wants. And I am very curious to see what's going to happen once he does eventually give up the mutant underground if he is or if he's going to lie or anything there I'm very curious to see. And then everything around Kate was really interesting even though she's still probably my least favorite character because she's still so panicky and freaked out about everything. But this episode was really nice to sort of developer her more for me to actually care about her because in this episode she sort of learned more and more what life is like being a mutant and how she is very special because she chose to stand by her children even after she found out that they were mutants which is not a common thing. So it was nice to see a bit of development of her especially near the end of this episode where she ran in and became the hero. I am very curious to know what the connection is between Blink in the road that one of her portals kept leading to whenever she'd had a seizure because when Thunderbird ask her she kind of seemed to try and avoid the question so I'm curious to know what the truth is about that. And then all the moments with Polaris where interesting to see her sort of developing to life in prison but also still sticking up for herself and try and understand what she can and can't do because of the shock collar on her neck. And then I really really love this scene where she's in the shower and you finally see like all the black hair dye fade away to show her classic green hair. I was originally fine with what they did do with the green detail in her black hair but the fact that they dedicated a scene showing the classic hair and having that be her baseline hair now I'm really happy about that. And just overall this was a really interesting and really entertaining episode and I'm very curious to see where they'll go next.
