…that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities, or so the quote goes. The Gifted season 2 (series?) finale, titled “oMens,” examines those choices as sacrifices are made and not so subtle messages about our current political landscape…
‘The Gifted’ 2×15 Review: Too Far To Give Up Now
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” I thought it better to start with a quote, especially one that pretty much encapsulates everything “Monsters” is, everything this season has been, than to…
‘The Gifted’ 2×14 Review: The Definition of Insanity
My issue with The Gifted is this, and it’s always been the same. When this show is firing on all cylinders, it’s amazing, the kind of show you wish you could binge because you don’t want to stop watching, you…
‘The Gifted’ 2×13 Review: Together
The Gifted Season two has been a roller-coaster of emotions, and I’m not saying that entirely as a compliment. The show has delivered episodes that have had us at the edge of our seat, barely breathing, and it has also given…
‘The Gifted’ 2×12 Review: The Beginning of the End
With four episodes to go, The Gifted seems like it’s gearing up for what promises to be an explosive end of the season, with Polaris firmly on the Mutant Underground side and acting as a double agent, Andy desperate to reunite…
The Gifted 2×11 Review: There are Lines, There Have to Be
I could have told you this was coming. In fact, I did, multiple times since the end of Season 1 saw a fracture between the members of the Mutant Underground. Lorna was always going to get here. She was always…
‘The Gifted’ 2×10 Review: One Thousand Percent
The image at the top of this review sort of encapsulates the season so far. Two people, standing on opposite sides of a war, with so much space between them, and yet, also, with so much love. Because that’s the…
‘The Gifted’ 2×09 Review: Is It Worth It?
It won’t surprise anyone to hear that The Gifted‘s mid-season finale, titled “gaMe changer,” explored the duality between being ‘normal’ and being, well ‘gifted,’ as it dabbled in the same philosophical discussion that has sustained years and years of the X-Men/Brotherhood…
‘The Gifted’ 2×05 Review: Only Love
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” Doctor King said, and though real life surely has many more instances that reinforce this message, “iMprint” does a great…
‘The Gifted’ 2×04 Review: Friend or Foe?
New battle lines are being drawn every day on The Gifted, and “outMatched” takes that even further than any other episode has before, as Polaris is back from maternity leave of sorts, and ready to kick ass once again –…
‘The Gifted’ 2×03 Review: Love is the Brightest Star
…in life’s darkest skies, I read somewhere, and it’s stuck with me. The whole idea kept playing in my head as I watched “CoMplications,” one of the best episodes The Gifted has delivered in its entire run. Because, isn’t everything about…
‘The Gifted’ 2×02 Review: Hope Is A Strong Thing
The Gifted is always at its best when it focuses on big themes, and ties those with the characters we already care about, and in the case of “unMoored,” this is truer than ever. There are no big battles in…
‘The Gifted’ 2×01 Review: Both Sides, Now
A lot has changed in the months that have transpired from the Season 1 finale to now. And yet, so much hasn’t. There are still “two sides” to this story (or is it three? Do the humans get a side?),…
Our ‘The Gifted’ Soundtrack
Whether you’re big on music or not, you probably can’t escape relating some songs to your favorite shows or coming up with a soundtrack for it in your mind. It happens to all of us. You’re listening to the radio…
‘The Gifted’ 1×11 Review: A Tale of Two Cities
A new year brings with it new promises, and yet, if this episode of The Gifted reminds us of something it’s that no matter how much we wish for it, things don’t just change for the better because we want…
‘The Gifted’ 1×01 Review: Ohana Means Family
And, you know, family means nobody gets left behind – or forgotten. Yes, you are in the right place, I promise. This is a review for The Gifted, the new kick-ass mutant drama from FOX. Except the kick-ass mutant drama,…
‘The Gifted’ SDCC 2017 Interviews: Coby Bell, Amy Acker & Stephen Moyer
Mutants haven’t exactly been out of the public eye for the past few years – there are many X-Men movies and seemingly more coming every time we turn. And yet, these mutants are not the ones we know, and for…
