This is by far one of the best episodes of X-Men TAS. The two parter is based on the highly acclaimed comic book story "Days of Future Passed". Starting in a future dystopian New York, Wolverine, the last surviving X-Men, who meets up with a bounty hunter mutant named Bishop. Logan ends up at Bishop's base of operations, where he meet Bishop's teammate Forge. Forge creates a time machine in hopes of preventing the future they live in from ever happening by killing a mutant who assassinated the president. Once in the present time, Bishop meets up with the legendary X-Men only to discover that one of their own appears to be the assassin in question.
The two parter is packed with action and adult-themed issues that the series became well known for (they touch upon genocide and holocaust for example and the scene where Wolverine sees his teammate's graves is quite creepy). Furthermore, Bishop is such an awesome character and his introduction paved they way for equally great appearances. But what I really love about the episode is the ending in the second part, which is a cliffhanger for the first season finale (hint, Magneto is involved)
