Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCable's actions and motives are different in this episode compared to future appearances. In fact it suggests he's been in the present day for quite some time but there's no attempt to reconcile it with his later appearances where he's clearly a time traveler from the future. This may be the result of the series's writers being unaware of Marvel's plans for him. The first season aired 1992-1993, whereas Cable's origin wasn't confirmed in the comics until December 1993. Thus, the series writers likely adjusted to avoid any serious contradictions with the source material. Also of note, whereas there is no attempt to reconcile the two seasons' Cable appearances, the first season is not ignored. Rogue explicitly recalls her first encounter with Cable when the two battle in "Time Fugitives, Part 2." Being a time traveling commando however it can be explained away that his first appearance was him tracking down Apocalypse, who was central to that storyline.

Gambit's Gambit/s
This episode is so crazily paced, it's hard to keep up. I really think they could have split this story into two parts. It would have allowed a better introduction of the Cable character. Also I think one whole episode should have been devoted to the slavery angle, as there were many interesting mutants in collars that we didn't get a chance to meet properly. The whole thing felt really rushed. However, I still enjoyed it a lot.
Gets points for the clever use of Gambit. The cliffhanger leaves us wondering about his allegiances yet again. It suits him as the roguish element in the group.
