Check out the pics at Comics Continuum and speculate away... Looks like it might be Shal-centric, or at least feature Shal, which is ALWAYS good. ;D

I know that we've been talking about the gun issue in one of the other threads. All that I have to say is that I'm waiting to see it in the context of the episode, but I am a firm believer that NO MATTER WHAT, Mutant X shouldn't have guns. Its better without it.

i second that Slidershal, with the powers that they have they don't need guns. Funny thing though i came across a pic of KC a while back (when i find it again i'll post it), it's a shot of KC with a gun obviously from Adventures Inc. (Do you think the TPTB are pushing girls & guns as being sexy ie: the bond girls)They seem to be grasping for straws now

I think they're thinking that mixed with a little bit of Charlie's Angels but I really hope that this is a one-time, incidental thing. Mutant X doesn't need guns - that's one of the things that makes it so special. I want more of the hong kong style martial arts like they had in season one.

They might need to guns for something special. I dunno anything about the ep at all. I hate the usage of guns but if neccessary then they should use them but they shouldn't have to since they have powers right? THe sad thing is that I know how to use a gun and learned it from watching TV...not a good thing i think.

I hope, HOPE, that is more of an incidental thing [like when Shal had that gun for a few minutes in "The Breed"], than a full blown "Mutant X has guns now" thing. That would really make me mad.
I'm ashamed to say that I'm a master marksman due to all the time I've spent playing Time Crisis. That said, I can seperate fantasy from reality, and I know right from wrong. The majority of people cannot make those distinctions, and on top of that they don't have any kind of morality. Mutant X saying "guns are cool" is going to perpetuate an already serious problem. Show doesn't need that kind of violence anyway.
And Shadow, the very fact that you think learning how to use a gun from watching TV isn't good tells me you're all right. But see you must have been taught right from the beginning by your parents. They gave you good morals, enough to know that no matter how they're portrayed,guns are not "cool".

;D thanks sis. Yeah my mom always taught me guns are a bad bad thing. I've heard and "seen" on TV and the news what guns can do. THough they help defend they still kill and hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if it was like the Breed thing. See when they had guns in the earlier seasons they were for the bad guys. When Shalimar got hurt in Deadly Desire the bad ppl had the guns and it showed that it could hurt. Things like guns may look cool but sometimes the coolest things are always the deadliest. And Cleo like you I've played alot of games with guns and turned out to be quite a good marksman. But I've always known the difference between fantasy and reality. THe only things I played that involved guns where shooting aliens. So i hope i"d know the difference ;D

Not enough people do know the difference, which is why I'd rather that blatant usage of guns be left out of MX. Never needed it before anyway.

I agree they're powers where always enough before so that shouldn't change

I guess TPTB felt it was necessary to include guns... But hey, we haven't seen the ep yet. Maybe they are tranqulizers... Maybe they are not loaded.... Even thought I think they are run guns, we just don't know for sure yet. It might not look like the way it really is.

[From the Comics Continuum update]
Does anyone remember if this William Dennett guy is someone we actually saw on the show before??? Would be nice to see some character follow-up on this show (FINALLY).
This ep sounds really good, and I like that one of the original writing staff penned this one.
