Maddy and Ryan strap in for the third season premiere of X-Men: The Animated Series, featuring... an unfair portrayal of Lady Deathstryke and tons of flashbacks to Wolverine's Weapon X trauma? Wait a second, this is X2 deja vu! "Out of the Past, Part 1" also has Jubilee and Gambit in tow to help Wolverine when he's in a jam, but not before listening to him deliver some monologues alone in the dark. Ryan and Maddy recorded this episode really late at night last week, so forgive them for being totally incoherent for most of it, especially during the politics section where we try and fail to come up with something deep to say about the Reavers. In our defense, this X-Men: TAS episode is pretty incoherent too, so we afford it about as much analysis as it merits.

X-Men Spotlight: Lady Deathstryke, a.k.a. Lady Deathstrike, a.k.a. NOT YURIKO, Wolverine's self-proclaimed nemesis who deserves better than almost any writer has ever given her!
