Wolverine and the X-men Episode 13

"So, Domino, when did you last see your nipples?"

Hooray! It seems that YTZ in Canada is continuing to show new episodes of Wolvy and the X-men after all, as well as them starting from the top on another channel. Which means a brand new episode this week to watch and ramble about.

So! To it!


Recap time! Quicksilver has daddy issues. Rogue has a cute butt. Domino has cleavage. Lots of cleavage.

Welcome to MRD, Mystique! Will you open the box? Or take the money?

You know, keeping little girls in boxes where they could be alive or dead is probably quantum, but it's rather sadistic too.

Aw, Dom. Your heart is in the right place, but your boobs barely so. Just what keeps you in that costume anyway? Either the mutant luck powers keep you from popping out or you're using a hell of a lot of duct tape.

Oh lord, Bobby's dreamy face over Kitty made me laugh out loud. I love these two. Not a pairing I was expecting when the show started, but they're so much damn fun. I found my new OTP.

I just remembered that in the last episode Logan was a huge, hateful ass. Why was I reminded of this? Because Logan is a huge, hateful ass.

Hey, it's Blink. Being all... I dunno... Blinky. I've never quite clicked why people love the character so much, but it's nice to see her pop up.

And it's cameo a go go time. Still think it's weird seeing Cessily as a taciturn bad guy, but I'll take what I can get.

Poor Emma. Now she's going to have to walk around with one of those plasters across her nose like she sported in New X-men for a few episodes.

Oh Forge. Don't ever change.

Hmm. Randomly dropping Juggernaut out of aircraft is always fun. Not overly enamored with the animation model for him, though. He looks like a Weeble.

"What could do this to him?" I dunno, but judging by the roaring and screaming we're gonna find out. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? Godzilla? A big red glowing Power Rangers baddy? You guess!

It amuses me to see Hank dive to save the civilians in danger of being squashed by a falling Logan, but fails to grab Logan himself as he's passing, leaving him to land on his head after fifty or so storeys.

Tildie Soames? From Whedon's first arc? Huh. Wasn't expecting that.

And so we end, with Wolverine learning a valuable life lesson - he's a really shitty leader. Still. Oh, wait, that wasn't the lesson? Close enough.

Overall another great episode and it's hard to find serious flaw. A little lighter on humor than some of the episodes and the finale of big monster trashing city is one of the least original in the season, but it was packed with action and some genuine twists. Again some clever thinking in terms of power use, although Juggernaut's appearance is a little bland for such an important X-villain. More cameo than anything else. But minor quibbles aside, another very strong episode that moves the series along considerably.

Rating - ****

Never looked better in animation me thinks.

The Evolution character model was pretty good, if I remember rightly.
