Review By Stu, Media by Jim Harvey
Episode #19 - X-Ternally Yours Music Composed By: Shuki Levy Animation Services By: AKOM Review: There are a couple of strange things about this series, that I noticed even as a little kid watching them on a Saturday morning (then Friday afternoons, then Sunday mornings and weekdays during the summer, but all that�s irrelevant, unless you�re planning on forming a Stu appreciation group and want background on me). Some characters only got a mere �spotlight� episode or two, whilst others got them in truckloads. Gambit is one of the few how had very little screen time for a show that ran 76 episodes.Now, I�ll admit to liking Gambit more than most do (I actually think his voice fits him pretty well too, despite it being it being constantly ridiculed by everyone else who owns a mouse and keyboard) and this episode is essentially the only story that delves into his background, which is good for 2 points. The first being that this episode isn�t really all that entertaining and the second being that Gambit works a lot better as a man of mystery, with viewers only getting a glimpse of his past and basically guessing the rest of it (the scene with Gambit unable to cope being trapped in Beast�s jail cell, for example) X-Ternally yours isn�t a bad episode per se, it�s just not a very good one, as the new characters we meet simply aren�t interesting in the slightest. It�s a story that needed to be told defiantly, as it does help develop Gambit a great deal because we see why he keeps his past a mystery. Not a terrible episode, but not a great one for the rajin� Cajun. Screenshots:
