I am more fond of this interpretation of WOlverine than any other as the failed samurai desperately seeking peace works better for me rather than the babysitting teacher and even reluctant leader. This particular episode is one of my favourites as we delve into his long running rivalry with Sabertooth, who again, was awesomely adapted into this show, which can't really be said about other X-Men shows. A great design (by akpm standards) and fantastic casting made this a feud to remember. Speaking of casting - Cal Dodd is still my favourite ever Logan. He probably has his finest hour as WOlverine here - he is simply outstanding. Say what you will about it production standards, it's melodrama or sheer over the topness, this show absolutely nailed WOlverine and it's best episodes are usually focused on him (Repo Man, Nightcrawler, this episode in question) Very few complaints about the episode. An excellent effort from start to finish! Screenshots:
