1. Wow, that was really stupid! Which is about what I was expecting - no idea why they handed the next chapter of all this over to Benjamin Percy, of all the current x-writers, but here we are.
2. ... I actually sort of liked it. And this version of Moira. I can see why the people who loved the human geneticist have been upset since HoXPoX and are more upset now, but I have to admit I find the ( very specific spoilers for the end of this mini ) a more interesting character. And oh boy I want to see Charles attempt to explain all of this to poor Banshee, one of these days.
3. Also I desperately want a real throw-down between Erik and Moira. (Optionally, alien zombie Lilandra crashes the party while Charles sits in a corner and facepalms and Amelia laughs her arse off in the background.)
4. Charles's family tree and timeline are now even more of a mess. I am not sure Benjamin Percy knows what a timeline is, actually.
5. I will be happy to see Beast try to overthrow the Council if it means that his character arc actually goes somewhere. We've been doing this for years, let his descent into Hell pay off somehow! Watching him say and do evil things and never actually accomplish anything is boring. Charles and Erik (and Moira!) being morally questionable has been so satisfying lately; I wish Hank the same sense of purpose.
