While seing it's share of action and having a nonsensical, but comfortable conclusion, there is a shadow looming over this season finale, and that's the plan put into action here. I've seen villains pull off a lot of stupid stunts, but this might be actually be the worst I've seen in the past 15 years: A bunch of insanely rich, powerful and well-connected people with some top-grade X-men-powers and their own private FBI want to make one of their own president.
Do they put their money to use, their connections, their powers? Like, let's say, rigging the voting machines, *as they did just one f*ing episode ago*? Do they play the political game, only with the help of mind-readers, people who can give spread hallucinations, and of course dozens of other ways to threaten or kill or manipulate their opponents and voters?
No. They blow up one of their own. Not even a bomb, no, they wait 20+ years for their gifted son to grow up, manifest his exquisite power, and then they let him blow up in the middle of New York. These are intelligent people, people who have shown that they can think strategically, and who can build amazing organizations and fortunes. And that is their plan, because, and I can only quote, "This is how it has to be". And "This is what has to happen". And "You can't change it".
Except, of course, you guessed it, that's not what happens. The episodes before this one got dragged down by this nonsense,and it's like the writers ruined their talented brains with it while they where at it, because this is pretty much it. The new, and terrible, quality of the writing from here on out. So brace yourself. It's how it had to be. It's just what happened. You can't stop it.
