Trivia:

Episodes 21 and 22 were broadcast out of order. "A Breed Apart" was promoted as the season 1 finale, and it was, but then a few weeks later "Dancing On The Razor" was broadcast finished off the 22 episode run. If you pay attention to the plot however "Dancing On The Edge" clearly is supposed to take place before the events of "A Breed Apart" because it has the character of Mason Eckhart still running Genomex, even though in "A Breed Apart" he was overthrown by Gabriel Ashlock.

Quotes:

[to Shalimar in the garden]
Emma: Are you just going to sit here and brood all day? Or are you just practicing intimidating the plants?

Soundtrack:

E-yeah!

Thumb`s up

In my personal opinion, I find the science-fiction television show, "Mutant X", to be extremely interesting and refreshing because in many ways, individuals all over the world who feel like they do not belong and those who have been shunned by society can relate to these fictional characters. Although each character has his or her unique and separate mutant capabilities, they each have experienced what it feels like to be an outcast and unable to adapt to society's expectations. For instance, Shalamir's parents were scared so they placed her in a mental institution while Emma experienced a very frightening childhood due to her telepathic abilities. I'll admit that the plots may not be exactly be the most intelligent nor featuring the most creative villains, but the characters make-up for it in complex relationships, mutant complications, and other significant and non-important issues. Brendan and Shalamir's "so-called friendship" is a prime example. From Brendans constant worrying and nagging to Shalamir's continuous flirting; its quite obvious that these two both desire much more in this relationship. Even Jessie is beginning to develop intimate feelings for Emma (as demonstrated in the episode where Mutant X rescued a military pilot). Mason Eckhart intrigues the audience a great deal, for every evil scheme that he attempts to carry out un-succeeded has him trying to prove something to someone, like Dr. Adam Kane. Now, I am not writing this to tell anyone to watch or not watch "Mutant X". All I am attempting to tell people is that they should give this television show a try by simply watching one episode. Who's it going to hurt if someone watches a single episode? Its not like its a soap opera!
