- Catharsis Factor:
- Horrific as it is, Henry Peter Gyrich's death, courtesy of Bastion, was satisfying after all the pain and misery he had caused since the original series.
- In the original animated series, Jean had a not entirely undeserved reputation for being a wimp, spending a lot of time fainting, screaming, passing out from using her powers too much, getting easily knocked out or being easily captured. Here, the show has her having taken several levels in badass, with many impressive demonstrations of her power. In this episode, she goes toe to toe with the Prime Sentinel in a battle, and even though she loses at the end of the fight, she had a better showing against him than any of the other X-Men (including Rogue, who the Prime Sentinel knocked out in one hit).
