It's not a bad episode, but not as good as the rest

Not every episode can be the best one. Whilst this isn't bad at it doesn't give as much background about the rivals playing in it, the way the story plays out is a bit predictable and not really realistic (even within this universe)

The fun part of the episode, is the part that focuses on a holiday trip with some of the cast members, it is a trip full of surprises and it build nicely into the following episode. So a solid 7.

The idea of a "white man" finding a bunch of "natives" and being accepted by their tribe, only to have one alpha male become jealous of him, is such a cliche at this point. There was no surprise to the story beats here. Just by the numbers.

At least we get a beach vacation. Although, the return of a sentinel is a bit too soon for my tastes. I feel like we just saw them. I would prefer a different villain.

Cold Vengeance.

Cold Vengeance is an okay episode, minus the Kiyoek character, who's fortunate to not lose his entire tribe in his pigheadedness. Here Wolverine looks for solitude in the arctic, but comes across Sabretooth, who's been tracking him and they do battle. I dislike Sabretooth falling to his doom, by Wolverine simply ducking, like they'd both fall to their doom otherwise anyway. Meanwhile Storm, Gambit and Jubilee seek a similar tranquility and welcome investigating an island resort that seems to be a safe haven for mutants, only to meet capture. Do we really need these "To be continued" endings...

A really weird episode.

Warning: Spoilers
Not even surprised that Wolverine's idea of a vacation is skiing in the middle of nowhere in the Arctic, he's totally the kind of man who would do that. Wolvie is having so much fun helping the Inuits, using his powers to help the local people. A local young man feels jealous of his awesomeness and decides to help Sabertooth and dooms his whole village. Sabertooth's plan is cartoonishly evil, tying people to an exploding bridge is just one step away from tying damsels to train tracks. Good job wrecking an indigenous community, Wolverine, surely their unique culture and lifestyle will be preserved once they move to the city. We still don't know enough about Wolverine and Sabertooth's backstories to really care so the whole episode falls kinda flat, still nice to see Wolvie's warmer side.
