* Magneto's blackout has lasted at least 12 hours. Not only would the EMP have initially killed a lot of people, that loss of technology for that long is going to put a severe strain of society as a whole and people will devolving into to rioting, looting and lawlessness, and probably blaming mutants for it all the while.

* Rogue initially seems happy during her dance with Magneto and is shown smiling with her eyes closed turned away from him during the most touch heavy, intimate part of it when he is turning her around. Then she opens her eyes and is facing towards him, the sadness is noticeable. Shortly after is their kiss, once again done with the eyes closed and happy and fading as soon as the eyes open and she tells him that she recognizes her feelings for Gambit. She was most likely picturing Gambit when her eyes were closed and also desperately trying to convince herself that touch was needed.

** Imagine what others are feeling right now. Rogue left the X-Men because she felt that Magneto was right to retaliate against humanity's cruelty, still grieving over Gambit. Now she gets to see that same Magneto use that same cruelty against another friend, one that she was fighting just a few moments ago. Not to mention that Cyclops broke Xavier's hold on Magneto's mind, which led to Magneto starting to use his helmet to cave Xavier's skull in and Wolverine stabbing Magneto to stop him. [[NicejobBreakingItHero They both helped cause this.]]

* Now that Magneto had ripped out Wolverine's adamantium from his skeleton, an infamous MoralEventHorizon moment for him in Xavier's eyes, this is probably only going to lead one way with Season 2 going as Xavier [[BrokenPedestal finally swears off his old friend]] and wipes his mind--[[FromBadToWorse Onslaught]].

* In episode 2, Magneto said in his trial, "don't make me let you down". When Magneto did his global EMP, he wiped out the earth's magnetosphere, exposing the earth to a lethal amount of solar radiation and cosmic radiation. It's as if the Earth was going into a free fall with nothing stopping it from holding it together. [[{{Foreshadowing}} He did warn them not to make him let them down.]]

** It seems appropriate that when Magneto says his retort, it cuts mainly to Nightcrawler. Kurt still has faith despite everything that has happened, while Erik lost his faith because of everything that has happened.

* When Xavier tries to reason with Magneto, saying they aren't gods, Magneto responds saying that gods abandon those who worship them. Its sounds like a bizarre comparison, almost like Magneto's complimenting Xavier. But Magneto is a Holocaust survivor. Living through such a nightmare, Magneto long since lost his faith.

* Mr. Sinister being behind the Genosha massacre seemed rather out of character for him, given his ForScience motivation. With the reveal that Bastion was the actual mastermind behind it and that hundreds of mutants were actually captured alive, and now Sinister is free to experiment on them, him being on board with this plan becomes very much in character.

* As analyzed by Beast, the Sentinel attack on Genosha was an Absolute Point, which viewers of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse know shouldn't be tampered with. If Cable had successfully rescued at least one mutant who died there, like Gambit for example, it would've meant the destruction of the entire universe.

* There are many production reason for why Wolverine's voice has a smoother dilivery in this iteration as opposed to the raspier voice he had in the original, but there is also a in universe explanation for it, as well as an explanation for why Logan is no longer seen with cigars in the show. Jean got pregnant, and Logan quit smoking because no one wanted a pregnant lady around second hand smoke.

* The liberation of Genosha within the TimeSkip seems like a pretty sudden development - the original series revealed that Forge set up X-Factor as a mutant group under secret government oversight that even Xavier didn't know about. One thing the real US government has been accused of is using the CIA to destabilize foreign governments - it makes sense that a mutant black bag group with no obvious ties to the more public X-Men would get that job. It's also in line with Forge having become TheAtoner.

* The {{Not}} line in general has fallen out of favor in public and is generally regarded as a relic of UsefulNotes/TheNineties. However, the show is called ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'', which takes place in the UsefulNotes/TheNineties, and it hasn't been so long since [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries the classic show's]] GrandFinale. So, when Cyclops re-used the {{Not}} line as a CallBack, it's still making sense and not something too outdated.

Cyclops is then saved by an EMP grenade by Cable, who is from the future. The fact that Cable is Nathan Summers is another whammy: Trask calls Scott an orphan, but it is by Scott's own son, whom Scott agonized over "abandoning" him to save his life.

* Gyrich's sentence of 25 years, with the option of being brought down to 10 with cooperation, is an early indicator of Xavier's survival, which will be fully confirmed in episode 6. That sentence would be fairly lenient for a successful, premeditated political assassination, but it tracks with an attempted one.
