Anyone else getting the X-Men vibe that maybe our heroes aren't playing for the right side, exactly? I don't know if I'd call David Strathairn's performance mannered, because I'm not really sure what people mean when they say that, but boy howdy his character is an ass. I really like him claiming that he "doesn't think in those terms," which is pretty much like saying that "I don't see race" even for someone who <em>doesn't</em> routinely send Alphas upstate to be experimented on. And by really like I mean, I am beginning to see a character who I'll enjoy hating. I also enjoy Nina the manipulator as moral arbiter.
If we aren't supposed to find Dr. Rosen skeevy, then the disability politics of the show are terrible; if we are (they can't be that oblivious, can they?), then I'm just not sure.
Fun uses of powers; I hope there will continue to be surprises.
