That so...“Because, my watch…it’s been magnetized.”<br /><br />That sound you hear is my 12-year-old self's mind being blown. <br /><br /><i>Loved</i> that cliffhanger as a kid. Just great stuff. <br /><br /><i>This is a reference to Gambit befriending the de-aged Storm during Chris Claremont’s final years on the comics, although this storyline was never adapted for the cartoon</i><br /><br />And we can all be thankful for that...<br /><br /><i>Two endings to the episode exist</i><br /><br />I did not know that. I wonder why they changed it?

My...<br />A thousand times YES on the cliffhanger moment. Myself and my brother used to quote that bit to each other all the time. It's probably the shrewdest scene in the entire show.<br /><br />I'll always have a soft spot for the cartoon but subtlety was rarely used in the show, especially after the first series so it must be applauded when it was.<br /><br />I also must fess up to being a total sucker for the X-Traitor story line and an Onslaught apologist due to the age I was when reading the comics. I originally came across Days of Future Past in a novelised form when I was a kid but read the comic later, so despite the older me being fully aware that Days of Future Past is the far superior story, my feelings of fondness for the X-Traitor trump it on a totally illogical level. Hence I love this merging of the two stories.thinkingcoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211971152903300193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-84481639818781681642012-11-21T13:03:43.141-05:002012-11-21T13:03:43.141-05:00@ Kendall and Matt
