seriousficAn okay episode. The X-Men inventing the collar to help unstable mutants is a good twist on canon, but they didn't go anywhere with it. And Wolverine going alone to get it back when it could clearly have major consequences to not recover it makes him look like a bit of an ass. Especially during the whole fight with Gambit.
Gambit: I won't tell you where the collar is.
Emma: Yes you will. Then you'll dance. For my enjoyment.
Gambit: (mind-controll'd) Yes, mistress...
But onto the whole-sale mockery!
Stormtroopers: Hold it! Shoes can’t conduct that much heat!
The street and her shoes melt, but not her clothes? Thank God for those fashionable unstable molecules.
Logan: Would you like to be my sidekick? Since Rogue left, I need a new teenage girl to humanize me. You wanna humanize me? I can tell you wanna.
Gambit: People still like me, even though it’s not the 90s, right? I wear magenta, that must be worth something!
Amara: I have to go back to Brazil now.
Logan: We’ll call you if we ever need to invade the Fire Nation.
Logan: Give back the collar. Rogue has a hot date, so it’s either this or we make Leech sit at the foot of the bed. And we’re not doing that, not after last time!
And then Logan ran his tongue over Scott’s creamy back muscles. “I won’t stop until I have every drop of your man-milk,” he threatened… or promised.
And Emma Frost as Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Episode.
Logan: I even suck at sleeping.
Remember, kids, even reckless badasses with mutant healing factors wear helmets!
Wilhemina Zane: Your fee, as promised. And a bonus.
Gambit: For?
Wilhemina Zane: Not using those ridiculous Cajun endearments every five goddamn seconds.
Gambit: But of course, mon chere!
The villain of the week: She’s like Emma, only with more clothes. Evil clothes.
Gambit is too cool for stairs.
Gambit: The villain of the week? She gave me her card. I know it looks like a playing card, but trust me, it’s the business card of the woman on whose behalf I committed grand larceny.
Logan: It must be… girl Joker!
Logan: Damn you, girl Joker!
Logan: Damnit, Gambit, you were a hero in the comics!
Gambit: Yeah, and so was Domino. And Cyclops was leader. And Emma Frost occasionally wore clothes.
Logan: Bad touch! Bad touch! I need an adult!
Logan: Your powers don’t work like that!
Gambit: The only thing my powers can’t do is let me have sex with Rogue. And even then, only in canon.
Emma brushed the riding crop over the nipple of Kitty’s pert, supple breast. “Now, my dear, I will show you the true pleasure of pain,” she threatened… or promised.
Logan: Yes! We managed to defeat a mundane woman with a gun! Truly, a spectacular victory for mutantkind!
Gambit: I managed to. You got shot into next week.
Logan: Are you criticizing Plan B?
Gambit: This seems like a good time to renegotiate our arrangement.
Logan: What do you want?
Gambit: How about it, slashers? What do I want?
Beast: Hey, Logan, need the help of your highly-trained commando squad for anything?
Logan: …d’oh!
Gambit: I won't tell you where the collar is.
Emma: Yes you will. Then you'll dance. For my enjoyment.

was this lame-- sorry, i meant zane-- woman ever in the comics? 'cause i can't figure out if i should know her from somewhere or if her pointlessness in my mind was entirely taken from this one episode.
