Now THIS is stem cells.

Carter wasn't the main person in charge of Millennium Season 2, so it's actually kind of amusing that he "borrowed" so many elements from that season finale in order to make the series (please) finale of The X-Files.

"Humans are warming the globe."
Okay, CSM, that's a valid point
"And we're causing a mass extinction event."
Okay okay go on go on
"So I decided to kill off most humans."
……. well how does that solve either of those problems? I mean sure there will be fewer people driving cars around or burning down the rainforests but a…

"it's a hot mess but it could have been worse"

Based on Spotnitz's work on _The Man in the High Castle_, wherein there is a very serious question of "How in the heck does any of this make sense?", which Spotnitz has claimed is not supposed to be the point of the show…

Which didn't get optioned to be made into a series, because apparently whoever makes those decisions at Amazon said NO

Remember when Millennium had a pandemic start happening in a season finale?
And then it got fixed between seasons?
And then it was explained that it wasn't actually a pandemic even though the season finale made it pretty obvious it was a pandemic?
And then for some reason 15+ years later a very similar plotline is used…

You. You're treating the canon of the show as if it's canon. You're not allowed to do that; the revival said that at least half of what canonically happened on the show didn't actually happen.

I've said it elsewhere and I'll say it here also; this show was my jaaaaaaaaaam back in the mid and late 90s. I went to cons (including this one http://articles.chicagotrib… which had Floyd Redcrow Westerman as a guest how awesome is that?!?!?) My friends today are people who independently came to like this show. I…

I liked it.

Yeah I thought that that episode did a great job on confronting their loss of parenthood. This one … much less so.

Yeah but was there anybody who was a big fan of that second movie?

I thought that episode 2, where they both had a bit of a fantasy about what their life with their son could have been like? That was great. That was confronting the "What ifs" of their lost parenthood directly and was fantastic "show don't tell." That just made this episode's talking about it seem redundant.

Huh. I've been reading film reviews at io9 (note: an o, not an 0) since 2009 and I've never really felt that they are too-positive in their film reviews. Maybe I've been reading them poorly.

"whoever’s doing the casting this season is a Battlestar Galactica fan."

Yeah. _I_ realize it would have been super easy for Heroes Reborn to put an end to Brad's plot in any number of ways, including by having Emily just say a line. But the show never bothered.

See, here's the thing. I probably paid too much attention to the show and so I noticed that the show just ignored Brad after the few episodes he was involved in. Your questions are all valid questions, but once his character stopped being "important" in any way, the show just stopped talking about him.

Possibly the highest exposure of jackalopes in years, so, I kind of approve.
