I'm just thankful we got Lance Henrikson in one episode of "Hannibal". :-)

This snuff story worked a heck of a lot better when "Millennium" did it with 'The Mikado'. I feel like Wyman doesn't understand his own strengths. "Almost Human" is too breezy to successfully deliver any weight behind it's "headless villain". It feels like the writers want to sell this as a procedural where the…

I guess AV|Club was like, "This Fringe clip doesn't need clapping because the scene already features John Noble."

I really liked the NON-EDM music which played at the end of 'Arrhythmia'. I hope future episodes feature more of this type of score.

I thought there were only… 8 seasons?

I totally agree with you. For how convoluted the series became after Fight the Future with the alien greys, nanobots, and Super Soldiers, I thought 'Essence'/'Existence' was a fantastic 2-parter. Imho, it surprisingly provided an excellent conclusion to a good season and a brilliant show. It's a shame the series…

Exactly. It's a bit like "24". That show would sometimes establish an arc where the characters would be working towards an established endgame across a 12-13 episode arc, which was when the show worked best. But large stretches of the show were "hyper-serialized" and too fast paced to the extent that the show…

I actually found the paranormal B story far more interesting than the actual case this week. I really wish this was more The X-Files or Fringe in 2048 instead of CSI in 35 years.

Yeah, I did like the episode overall but sometimes I feel the writers are moving things TOO fast. Slow down and let the mythology breathe.

That doll looked absolutely terrifying.

Imho, the mythology in S4&S5 was The X-Files at its best. Honestly, I never felt any of the mythology running up thru 'Two Fathers'/'One Son' was that convoluted. Regardless of whether or not Chris Carter was making things up, I thought everything made sense and felt Chris legitimately tried to follow through on…

Chris included an explicit explanation of the entire mythology up through "Fight the Future" as a hidden track on the album. It made perfect sense to me. There weren't any major loose ends, if you have any questions I can certainly answer them.

I loved how The X-Files mythology was vaguely realistic. It did feel like it could be happening in the real world, just under the surface, just out of sight of mainstream America. There was nothing corny or hokey about it, and the Black Oil mythology featuring the Syndicate is some of the best television I've seen…

Anyone rocking that avatar deserves an upvote.

"House of Cards" just felt like a motion picture stretched across 10 hours due to the film-it-all-at-once model. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I greatly prefer the editing of normal TV shows on cable and broadcast networks.

Twin Peaks and The X-Files were both fantastic. They are actually two of the highest rated American science fiction/horror series on the IMDb along with other classics such as Firefly, The Twilight Zone, and BSG. They certainly left behind a strong legacy and have nothing to be ashamed of.

All of the "X-Files" mythology during Season 1 through 5 was fully explained very logically during the Full Disclosure episodes ('Two Fathers'/'One Son'). It made perfect sense and was well plotted, unless you didn't watch the show or weren't paying attention. The show's strength was in its characterization, which…

I have to admit I quit watching Fringe S1 because I hated Dunham and thought she was a mediocre Dana Scully wannabe.

I agree. I watched Fringe very casually in 2008 but it always had my curiosity after 'The Arrival'. I quit watching Fringe a couple times but always got sucked back in. There were always little threads, i.e. the Briefcase Guy, ZFT, the red-headed Administrator, the elusive William Bell, etc. that continually…

While it took "Fringe" some time to get its footing, it embraced its mythology as early as episode 4 ('The Arrival'). And "The X-Files" dedicated 3 of its first 4 episodes to mythology building.
