With that in mind, if you still want to give the show a try, the Season 1 episodes that I'd recommend are "The X-Impulse," "Rogue Recruit," "Speed and Spyke," "Turn of the Rogue," "Shadowed Past," and "The Cauldron."
Heh. Sure. Now that I've already watched "The Cauldron." Of course, watching those episodes, I realized that one of my initial problems with XM:E was how many OTPs I've got in the 616 canon. Kitty without Colossus and Rogue without Gambit both feel incomplete to me. Not to mention that Gambit is one of my favorite characters in the Marvel multiverse period. Having watched "The Cauldron" I think I will try those other episodes sometime. I may have distinct preferences about how things "should be" with Marvel characters, but I can adapt if I find something in the AU that really appeals to me. I loved The Age of Apocalypse. It likely prolonged my reading of the books.
