The group discus how X-Men '97 was able to stick the proverbial landing in it's first season, whether Bastion won, the easter eggs, what some of the plot threads dangling could mean, the cliffhanger ending, what happened to Wolverine/Storm/Morph, predictions on next season, whether Onslaught could be a villain for season 3, and much more!
