^Let's face it, Aimee: We are ALL super-hyped for the next episode. xD Or at least, anyone who has read the show, or... you know, has a brain?

Oh. I have a question....will MJ be doing any of this: Any time soon? Because this and what she did at the ending were my favorite parts

Well MJ isn't going to do any acting as of yet. We're keeping her close to how the comics started out.

Right now, that hasn't really been discussed much but it's a possibility.

Okay, its extremely hot and I'm dying over here, so I figured I'd take a break from trying to kill myself an read the Outcasts! When I leave a review, I can't promise it'll be easy to read -- its probably going to be in chunks, or flowing with gibberish as I am literally DYING right now. But I'll try my best *dead*

SPIDER-GIRL And it only gets worse when you’re stuck in there with a woman who wears heels so tall that the only thing they are inferior to is her ego. Oh, how I've missed her! *rolls around in her awesomeness*

Review: "Legacy" (Part One) ~ The Outcasts
Wow. What a fantastic episode. This episode was very character driven, I felt, and spotlighted a huge milestone for the team -- they became the X-Men. It seems a triangle has formed between MJ, Melanie, and Gwen, which proves to be incredibly interesting. And the Brotherhood and the X-men finally come face to face with an interesting turn of events that brought Magneto into the picture. I'm excited to read on.
Honestly, the only downfall of this episode was its length. I felt there were several scenes that dragged on too long, despite enjoying them. The first half of the episode felt great though -- you introduced the main threat in the teaser, and then got into the birth of the X-Men, and the assigning of codenames. They were born. It kind of felt like two episodes in one, which is ironic as its part one of a two parter episode ... but I felt that a lot of scenes could have been cut short to keep everything more tightly bound and given the audience a better sense of what this episode was about and where it was heading. It was very fast paced, and it slowed down about halfway through, which gave time for some great focus on Melanie, but it sort of got dealt with in too many scenes. This leads me to --
-- I seriously can not decide who I think Melanie should get with. I love her chemistry with Mary-Jane, and I love their spunky attitude towards one another. Its very fun. But with Gwen, its like one of the sweetest relationships ever. I think Melanie deserves someone who loves her back, but with MJ sort of returning those feelings, I'm more confused than ever as to which direction I want Melanie to go. This sort of helps us, as the audience, connect with Melanie, as she seems to be confused about what she wants too.
Speaking of which, I think I'm going to start shipping Euphoria/Kristen.
There were many moments in this episode I want to talk about. There was so much to love. First of all, although Jean came off rather agressive in her hate towards "Ice Bitch" -- that should totally be Euphoria's codename, though -- her emotions were very real, and the way they were dealt and handled with was amazing. I loved that scene between Jean and the Professor. Its definitely one of my favourites from the season. All of Gwen's scenes were just freakin' adorable. I love her to bits. I loved the whole Danger Room training session scene. I think it was great to see them all together, kicking butt and saving lives. But I loved their confrontation with the Brotherhood at the end of the episode more because there was so much build up towards it.
Also, props on Mystique. The writing for her is just brilliant.
I just want to tell you how much I admire your descriptions, and your action. So much time and effort is clearly spent on creating the perfect setting, and describing every little beautiful detail of the scenes that I can't help but not mention it in the review. I love it. The writing of these scripts is just magnificent, I felt its only right to praise you for it.
Overall, this was another brilliant episode of 'The Outcasts.' If I were to make any suggestions ... be careful of the length of your scenes, and how long your ACTS last. When it comes to deciding what's important, look at the main plot, and occassionally the second plot. Anything that extends, or moves away from that is something that should be considered to be removed. I know its hard with the amount of characters, and the great stories you can tell with them, but its just something to consider. Nevertheless, I think this was a pretty close-to-perfect episode. 9/10.
