I enjoyed your coverage of Mutant X this month! When you talked about the series often being on the verge of cancellation, I was reminded of “Parks and Recreation,” which also often ended a season not knowing if it would be picked up for another. If you had to write a story about Pawnee X set in Earth 1298, who would be the 616 Alex Summers character who crosses over? What changes would you make to the other characters on the show? Would Jerry Gergich be the one to destroy the moon?
