Ummm....no idea.

This is the place I come to disavow myself of the idea that I'm smarter than the average bear.

My wild, unsubstantiated guess - at some point in the future, one of the team has their powers forcibly "cured" / the mutant gene removed, and Sh'iar tech is used to give them their powers back?

"Biology is child's play to our technology".

All I keep thinking of is that quote from "Spock's Brain" where using the alien's techno hat ('the teacher') now makes neurosurgery for McCoy childsplay?

Dang, I recognize that biology is child's play line but cannot place it for the life of me.  

I love how alt-Jean is reacting differently than real-Jean on the ship, but no idea why - no speculation (must...control...self).  I love how the two are clearly different people even excluding uniform/regular clothes but also the same.  

Should be interesting to see how it all goes in future pages - we now have multiple area's to cover - which Magneto is dead (is he dead?), what happens next with the Jeans & Kitty, poor floppy hands, Alt-Angel stabbed, Charles & the kids... probably a lot more I'm forgetting.  I have this image in my mind of a giant whiteboard in Mr. Byrne's house that looks like that crazy conspiracy theory persons that is used on meme's often.  So many threads - some must be coming to an end soon mustn't they?  Of course, maybe that is why an issue 50 was mentioned - I know I won't complain if we get to 100 or a Cerebus like 300... nah, I figure other ideas will take over before then.  Either way this is a great ride.

One thing that is interesting is that there are some minds telepaths like Charles find harder to read.

That last panel on today's page has my curiosity at an all-time high I think! :^O

I'm afraid that Chucky doll would be involved in anything involving 'child's play', or in other words no idea.

More obtuse than Spock's Brain... a high (low?) bar, there.

A curious optical illusion: if I look directly at the last panel, instead of seeing Gladiator and his cape in the adjacent panel, I see an extension of alt-Jean's mask, glove, and hair.  Not exact, but close enough for me to wonder: JB, was that intentional?

This would be fairly distant, but:

ITEM: In the final panel today, the "EEE EEE EEE" reminds me of Jimmy's signal watch. Yes, I know it was usually "ZEE ZEE ZEE" but not always, and that's what it made me think of.

ITEM: Clarke's Law - "A sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Is that the far off reference?
