ASFA was SOOOOO much better than the episode that came before it, "Crossroads of the Soul", which sucked many, many portions of ass. :: nod ::

And I can't wait for more development with Emma and Adam (not as a couple, although that's there). Emma's getting darker, and Adam seems to be suffering from a strange male version of PMS...

Let's try talking about Mutant X's second season

You used the word 'try'. and for some reason it seems to stick out like a MWS on a firefly's butt...

Exactly how much is there to talk about? I've noticed that there haven't been many threads started since the new season began, as compared to last year, when there seemed to be a thread posted every week (or for every first run ep, to be more precise). The show hasn't dropped in quality since last season, but I've still haven't been...searching for the right word...passionately implored (?) to muster up any conversation over what I've seen. It's just an action hour to me , unfortunately, inspiring virtually little to no storylines to ponder over, The lone exception seems to be Emma's , dare I say, arc, and if it's handled properly could be something worthwhile....last weekends ep, don't know the title, was good for her I'll admit...at first I didn't like how she got played by the drug-induced mutie dude-if that's what he was, It was so obvious to me he was a plant, but the actor that was cast was really good, and really elevated the scenes he had with Emma, and sold me on it.
And that's about all I can think of that resonated with me-positively anyways, about what's been shown thus far. I look forward to reading what others might try to say.

Could I just say that... this is not a series I watch intentionally. However, I tend to see the last 5 or so minutes of it when I tune in a bit early for "Andromeda". This thing survived into a second season? (When I collected comics back in the '80s, I liked the X-Men. This series, which I guess was influenced by the X-Men, is something I'll continue not to watch, except in those 5-minute bites. Sorry, Seth, if you read this... )

And I intentionally don't watch it.

And one of the reasons is spelled T-R-I-B-U-N-E.

And I'm not sorry at all.

you said:

'Arcs like DWF mentioned are a big no-no for us but I took a chance and it paid off. Look for more thrulines the entire season as we continue to build on our mythology.'

So who are ARCs a no-no for, MutantX or Tribune in general?

"Crossroads" was a departure for us but I found that at it's core, the episode spoke volumes for how to continue to tell strong stories for so many years. I disagree with your take (actually it was a much stronger character story than ASFA, IMO)

With "The Future Revealed" all the Mutants are now faced with their own mortality and the fact that their genes are in a constant state of flux. Shalimar and Brennan are heating up the screen with their iminent romance and Emma and Adam have just too many secrets!

Almost every story this season is driven by one of our characters as opposed to just encountering a Mutant of the week and I feel that it has really strengthened the show. The audience wants to know what is going to happen to these guys and they care about them. That's what MX is all about this year.

Oh well. Guess I'm the only one. And I've liked the season a lot.
