That was a rather disturbing episode for Saturday morning fare.
What about it did you find disturbing?
Also, please tell me I’m not the first one to notice that everybody’s name comes up in a way to suggest their powers? I felt like such an idiot when I noticed that yesterday.
Magneto’s little music theme and power sound are just too damn cool. They’ve made him an “oh shit” kinda guy while still making it kid-friendly. Kudos.
You sure he wasn’t just mentionin his mother? Nightcrawler knows that Mystique is his mother.
Mmmm… I don’t see this. Do you mean the codename?

Sam because I can’t remeber his codename, Boomer? (if yes then name+powers
I’m sorry that I didn’t state myself clearly: when the show comes on, everyone’s code name (well, except for Jean’s, since it’s not much of a code name)appears on the screen with an effect similar to their individual powers. That’s what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.
The fact that Rogue was writhing on the ground in obvious emotional agony while shapeshifting through all the people she had absorbed (also in agony) while the “camera” does a rather intense pan around her. It lasts several seconds and while it might be mild for older kids, it could be a bit much for the tykes.
tracer The epsiode where Nightcrawler says it was last night. Its actually a longer scene than I recall. NC basicly says Storm and Wolverine are looking for their mother and refers to himself as her little brother. Rogue rejects the idea at first saying that Rogue was only adapted by Mystique. NC goes on to say that they’ve got a bond and are in this together. Rogue seems to consider it.
Cannonball, IIRC. Pretty telling.
Berserker on the other hand is kinda iffy.
One ep also has Rogue having recurring dreams about Kurt’s mom running through snow. At first, she thinks she may have absorbed his memories. Later, it seems that she was actually there and may be his older sister.
