Fox’s The Gifted Wraps Its First Season

Can Polaris Put Aside Her Hatred?

♦ Fox’s X-Men related series The Gifted has just three episodes until its first season ends, starting on 1 January and here’s a few snippets from what we can expect from the last three episodes from TV Line…

“It’s funny, I’ve been having conversations with the writers and Matt Nix, our creator, about Lorna and that exact thing,’” Emma Dumont, who plays Polaris, said. “She seems so strong and confident all the time — like, we only see very small moments of weakness from her — but what she’s coming into is maybe not her own, but her chosen path, the path she was born into, which is really interesting.”

Born into perhaps being the operative words here.

“Each episode we start with a flashback of a character’s history and the finale is hers, and her journey is really, really heartbreaking,” the actress previewed. “She kind of has to decide, ‘What’s the difference between something you’re supposed to be and something you believe in?’ She knows about this guy who may or may not be her father — I mean, he is, and she kind of hates Magneto. She hates what everyone says about him because everyone in the world she’s in said he was bad and evil — so she’s sort of like, ‘Gosh, I believe the same things as this man. Does that make me bad, or does this mean I’m a fighter?’”

“We see her work through that in Episode 12 and 13 [the season finale], and in the end we find out what her decision is,” Dumont admitted. “This is the phrase I like to use: ‘She pulls something out of thin air.’”
