Looks good. Still think that FOX should've paired it with Gotham on Monday nights instead of Lucifer.

Are they gonna be real X-men or are they gonna do that thing some comic book shows do where they are new characters that are just loosely associated with the original story?

The lead family is very loosely inspired by the Strucker family of the comics, but other than featuring mutant siblings, are so completely, vastly different (most obviously, different first names, no association with Hydra, and changed from baddies to good guys) from their comics counterparts that they might as well be entirely new characters.

The supporting characters of Blink, Polaris, and Thunderbird are closer to their comics counterparts, though.

Hmm. Not sure I'd be into that. I wish they'd just straight up make a live action X-men show (or even X-Force) and stop with the more obscure characters

Watched the premiere earlier. I definitely enjoyed it and thought that it was as good as I thought it'd be. I will definitely continue to watch.

Now that is how you premiere a show! Love it! Looks like I have a show to replace the three shit shows on the CW.

Stan Lee is in everything. Thanks, Stan.

Just watched the pilot.

I wouldn’t give it an A, but a nice solid B. I will continue to watch, but my long term expectations for this show are somewhat low. It reminds me a bit of Heroes.

I enjoyed the second episode but thought that last nights episode seemed like filler. Definitely could've missed last nights episode and not missed anything.

kind of agree... But it was a needed filler... this was the episode where the mother learns the differences between the 2 sides... and how she cant get outside help... Pretty necessary evolution for that character...

Thought that last night's episode was probably either the best or 2nd best of the season. The preview for next week looks interesting as well.

I thought I would avoid this series, but started watching Inhumans when it started. I am not impressed with Inhumans, had some time off with nothing to watch & watched the gifted. I ended up watching the whole season. Way better show of the two IMO.

Wasn't a bad finale. I think it sets up more tension in season two.

One thing I was expecting to happen though that didn't was
Reed's abilities to manifest somehow. I figure that they might save that for season two now.
Also,
I'm figuring that Jace is either going to come back to the task force or go rogue, hunting the mutants on his own terms. Or option three, they write him out of the show completely and him quitting was a way to get him off the show.

One question I have is who was the woman who was with Polaris at the beginning of the 2nd half of the finale?
