![]() Honestly, it's kind of difficult to put any show in the same category as the bonkers Gotham. Fox is already saying goodbye to another comics-based TV show this year, although it's difficult to put Gotham and The Gifted in the same category. She opened up a portal to show the rest of the good guys that there's a world on fire on the other side, and she needs everyone to come with her and help. Blink returned and revealed that the defeat of Reeva didn't mean a happily-ever-after for mutants everywhere. If The Gifted does return for Season 3, the Season 2 finale did set up a way for the action to pick up. There's still no saying if Fox will give The Gifted another season, and The Gifted isn't the only Fox series with an uncertain future at this point. We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, though. ![]() Maybe flashbacks of the Strucker kids or Caitlin could feature Stephen Moyer as a guest star. Perhaps that means he could come back somehow! "oMens" featured him in flashbacks as well as in the present. It will likely be sad to watch the Strucker family carry on without him in the event that The Gifted scores a third season, but can even the most diehard fans blame Stephen Moyer for wanting to spend more time with his family? Moyer clearly has nothing but fond feelings for the show and the people who worked on it with him. According to Moyer's comments to EW, it was a matter of allowing the show to do something big and undoubtedly surprising to a lot of viewers while also accommodating his desire to not miss more firsts from his kids. The Gifted was looking to deliver a big death in the Season 2 finale, and Stephen Moyer wanted to spend more time with his family, who did not live near set in Atlanta. I adore Atlanta, but truthfully it was really about seven months is a long time to be away, and I felt this was a really cool way to bring the character to a satisfying, massive ending. But also I love my gang, I love the cast. It was great for the show because they were able to do something big, and I don’t think people will be expecting me to go. I knew that they were looking for a big death at the end of season 2, so Matt and I talked about the possibility of it being me. When I went off to do True Blood, I was off for a long while, and that worked out great, but last year, I was away in Atlanta and I was thinking, 'This is a long time to be away from my little people.' The second time around this year, I missed a lot of firsts: I missed their first concert, their first day of school, their first day of soccer, and it was kind of hitting me. "I didn’t accidentally pluck that out of the air.Well, I’ve got 6-year-old twins, and older kids who are 16 and 19. "All I can say is if you’re naming a show like this, you don’t name a family 'Strucker' by accident," Nix teases. Do you have blinking powers? Do you have flowerpot powers? What do you have? You don’t know that until you develop it." Finally, though Lauren and Andy may not be X-Men, there may be a deeper comic-book connection between their family and stories that have appeared in print, a connection that some astute comics readers may have already picked up on. "Like, you looked at the flowerpot, and it broke. "In reality, if you think about it, if you got mutant powers tomorrow, a mutant fairy doesn't show up on your shoulder and tell you what you have," he explains. But, Nix points out, he'll have to figure out exactly what he can do as the series goes on. For now, the younger Strucker's ability appears to be a form of telekinesis opposite of his sister's, in that he can push things apart. ![]() What was interesting for the kids was not to just sit down and define their powers, like, 'Oh, Lauren makes shields.' Instead, it's, 'If this 17-year-old is trying to hide who she is and wants to protect herself from the world, the way that we could show that is with shields.' If she were another person, if she were somewhere else emotionally, maybe it wouldn't have been shields."Īndy, who discovers his powers in the pilot, is another character building on the idea that powers are affected by your emotions and personality. "I liked the idea of Lauren having this power of pushing things together. "Something we explored that’s harder to explore in the movies is the idea of powers evolving with your emotional life," he explains. Lauren, the seemingly perfect and put-together elder Strucker child, can create force fields. ![]() Nix explains that one of his goals for the series was to examine how mutant abilities develop based on the character's personality, and the teen Struckers gave him the perfect opportunity to dive into the life of young mutants just like the ones who would have attended Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters if the X-Men were still around. ![]()
