So much stuff this episode worth talking about, but for me the biggest thing is…
I hate that you’re right about Polaris. When she’s good she’s fantastic – stubborn but compassionate, loyal but pragmatic, serious but able to have a laugh – She’s honestly my favourite X-Man, but it’s hard to really get behind that when outside of X-Factor (and sometimes even IN X-Factor) she’s so scattershot in her charactisation. Even more reason to be sad about Leah Williams and David Baldeon’s X-Factor run being cut so criminally short.
I must either have a type or be cursed, because I also really like Rachel Summers/Grey so I’m two-for-two on the “often written wildly inconsistently” stakes.
I remember US Acres. The little guy in the egg was Sheldon.
I had to go look it up because I had no clue what “US Acres” was. Turns out outside the US it was known as “Orson’s Farm”, which is the name I was remembering being the Garfield affiliated farm series.
