You know, I read Darren Moody's review of Sunshine Days over on the m0vie blog awhile back and when I did realized Family Matters is probably my Brady Bunch, and in doing so got me nostalgic to see an episode or two of it. Long story short, I DVR'd a couple from the first season and was struck by how solid it was. In

I tell you who I thought was hot, and that's Scorpina. Damn girl.

Thought the first woman was dead, but that the second was still alive. And even appeared in the fan film from last year.

Dude, have you told this story before? Is this the chick that accidentally shit when she got out of the pool at that pool party? Because, if so, that story's hilarious.

Hell, I'd be your girlfriend, if I had a vagina.

I'm buying it.

You know, "The Host" is an okay episode, but it endures, I think, for one reason, and one reason only. Flukeman's just a great monster. One of the most iconic the show's ever produced. So cool it was Morgan playing him.

Think I'm one of the few people who liked the first episode, but this whole enterprise of the revival has come off a little rusty to me, and this episode was no exception, at least in the beginning. But, as it went on it cast its little spell. Great twist in regards to the were-monster, it was funny as fuck, with all

One of my favorite callbacks is one I just discovered a couple weeks ago when, on a whim while watching a handful of episodes from Season Five, I put in Unusual Suspects. For anyone who doesn't know, it's set in 1989 and details the meeting of the Lone Gunmen and, in turn, how Mulder meets them. Anyway, there's a

Hate to admit how goddamned stupid I can be sometimes, but I ran out of mouthwash awhile back, had some rubbing alcohol and thought, despite the voice in the back of my mind saying otherwise, what the hell. It was. . . a mistake.

Was kind of hoping she was going to reunite the dog with dude and that they'd go off and live happily ever after together.

Yeah, and Darin Morgan's got that great line on being cast in it, "Oh, you wrote the biggest loser in history and immediately think of me."

Totally agreed. Totally brilliant idea. Been thinking about it all morning.

Yeah, loved them busting on Mulder's speedo from back in the day.

Went through Season One a couple years ago and thought she was cute there.

I'm a Christian, and I think the irony of Scully being a skeptic while at the same time being Catholic was always a nice touch, even if I disagree at times with their depictions of it.

Thanks for the shout-out. In the minority on this one in that I didn't much care for last night's episode. I mean, "My Struggle" wasn't great, a B at best, but I enjoyed it a lot better than last night's. As great as TV has become, with Mad Men and Breaking Bad and all the rest, X-Files can't rest on its laurels and

Don't necessarily disagree with any of the criticisms being levied against the show, but I enjoyed it last night. Seems like the Variety review from early last week or so said Duchovny seemed like he was sleep walking and didn't have his heart in it, which is the opposite of how I've read his enthusiasm for the new

Yeah, and in the scene where Scully comes to his house and girl's there? Were they implying Mulder was hooking up with her? Because that's sure how I read it. I mean, what happened to the Mulder who, despite looking like Duchovny, could never get laid?

I actually thought Duchovny looked pretty good.
