Most of the time when a background story or centre role for one of the X-men appears it is not as well received unless it is Storm or Wolverine, but personally I think it is great to see Henry McCoy shine in his own drama. The always pacifist intelligent creature has emotions too and here we get to see more of that.

I can't believe I almost skipped this episode, it perfectly encapsulates everything that makes the X-Men great. Hank's character is given a lot of depth, we learn that he's so hyperfixated on work at least partially because it allows him not to think about his alienation from the society. This along with his relationship with the blind girl is great and adds a lot of depth and nuance to his character. The rescue sequence in the end is pretty cool and I enjoyed the revelation that Sabertooth is Creed's father, that actually makes a lot of sense. This is easily the best episode of the show so far.
