The Gifted Season 2 Episode 1 "eMergence" Review


The Mutant Underground rescues a girl from a Sentinel raid, but fails to save her family; Eclipse and Caitlin get info on the Inner Circle with help from a criminal hacker; Polaris prepares for her baby's birth.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that did a good job of reintroducing the main characters as well as setting up for the new plots for this season. Everything around the inner circle was really great with them deciding to take out anyone in there group that didn’t follow their ideas. And all there work in trying to create a space that could hold Lorna while she gave birth was great with how the smaller cell she was in was similar to a Magneto prison and it was funny that all the work that they did was for nothing because she went into labor earlier then they wanted. It was also cool to see the underground using Lorna's out of control powers to try and track down where she is. And it was sad when everything stopped and Marcos’s didn’t know what that meant and he wanted to know if the baby and/or Lorna were dead and no one could answer those questions. Everything with the Strucker family was interesting with the visions or dreams that Lauren was having and I’m curious to know if it is a vision of the future and if it is a weird connection between her and Andy and if it is a telocentric connection they have and can use in the future. Reed was great with him dealing with his previous sedated powers finally coming up and I want to know what his powers are like and he has the wolf power all on his own because he doesn’t have any siblings. Catlin and Marcos’s going to the hacker was a messy scene and seemed overacted and made very little sense for all this anger over the little information they got. Then just overall this was a great first episode and I’m curious to see where all the storylines will go.
