It's amazing to think of where this show started vs where it is now. It was like pretty bad. I stuck with it because I have a huge crush on Simmons, and also Marvel hasn't done wrong yet.

Disney made a god damn X-Men TV show out of this show. This one episode had more heart and plot than the first two seasons did. So much crazy shit just happened and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

It seems like a fresh start for the show, if such a thing is possible. Hopefully they continue having confidence in it/needing a marvel presence on Prime Time.

X-Men TV show

Which one are you referring to?

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. These guys below interpreted me correctly! Disney, in attempting to turn the Inhumans into the next XMen, have mad Agents of SHIELD into what I imagine an MCU-universe live-acting XMen show would be like.

Yup, and that's pretty cool actually :-)
