Sorry About That
Sorry. I’m sorry. It has been a hell of a January, mostly for reasons I can’t really go into here. I was going to spend this week getting caught up on the stuff that fell behind while I was putting...

Rachel Recaps X-Men: EvolutionS1E1: Strategy X
I was a little too old to catch X-Men: Evolution the first time around. It debuted my freshman year of college, corresponding with the peak of my nerd pretension—that larval-geek phase where you...

Rachel Recaps X-Men: Evolution S1E2: The X Impulse
You know how I said that X-Men: Evolution is really entertaining even when it’s really, really bad? This week, we’re gonna put that to the test. Prepare for more rock puns than you have ever heard in...

Rachel Recaps X-Men: Evolution S1E3: Rogue Recruit
Oh, hell, yeah! It’s Rogue time, y’all! Evolution Rogue is awesome. She’s one of the characters who fares best in reimagining–as I wrote about Cyclops in S1E1, Rogue is very recognizably written in...

Rachel Recaps X-Men: Evolution S1E4: Mutant Crush
Let me get this out of the way fast: “Mutant Crush” is my least favorite episode of X-Men: Evolution. Yes, even more than “The Cauldron,” which I’m pretty sure is objectively the worst episode of the...

Before we jump into this one, let me tell you kids a story. Once upon a time, there was a gentleman by the name of Dwayne McDuffie. McDuffie was an incredibly important figure in comics: these days,...

Rachel Recaps X-Men: Evolution S1E6: Middleverse
I like this episode, because this is where Evolution starts to catch its stride and find its voice. “Middleverse” is kind of a mess animation-wise, but it’s also a one-off, a lighthearted breath of...

Rachel Recaps X-Men: EvolutionS1E7: Turn of the Rogue
AND WE’RE BACK! Hi, Evolution! I’ve missed you! Not only am I back recapping X-Men: Evolution, but I get to jump back in with my hands-down favorite episode of Season 1. Remember back in Episode 3,...

Jay Recaps X-Men: EvolutionS1E8: SpykeCam
Oh, Evolution Season One. You try so hard. And sometimes you hit your mark: sometimes it’s “Turn of the Rogue.” And then, sometimes, it’s “SpykeCam.” Here’s the thing about Spyke: he’s a character...

Ten Gratuitous Close-Ups of Sabretooth’s Face From “SpykeCam”
(And one bonus GIF in dubious taste.) I mentioned in the recap that S1E8 of X-Men: Evolution is all about gratuitous Sabretooth close-ups, but just in case I failed to convey their full grandeur, here...

Jay Recaps X-Men: EvolutionS1E9: Survival of the Fittest
I can summarize most episodes of X-Men: Evolution from memory, in a fair degree of detail; so it surprised me when, in reviewing the Season 1 roster, I realized I recalled almost nothing of “Survival...

Jay Recaps X-Men: EvolutionS1E10: Shadowed Past
Ever heard of something called “The Draco”? No, not the blonde guy from Harry Potter. The “Draco” I’m talking about is an Uncanny X-Men arc where Chuck Austen retconned Nightcrawler’s origin story to...
