My partner makes documentaries and is about to begin a new one, and it's in that uncertain story/undefinable phase. Yesterday, I suggested we watch a bunch of documentaries that go off the rails so we can feel better about that uncertainty, and now, look at this fucking article. Well Jesus.

Another difference is you couldn't win anywhere near $5000 on the Canadian version. In the bonus round, you only won anything if you got all three clues and brought them back to the host, and even then it might be some shitty VCR. Or Mini-Maid service for a year!

Yes. I also work in documentary (including farming docs!) but can't watch half the crap that's out there, especially the stuff that's most accessible. Although I would say that sometimes the problem is trying to slap too much of the wrong kind of artistry into something. If your story is good enough, you don't need…

I just came here to see if anybody had mentioned that. Not enough songs out there from the point of view of cats. That line "I can't remember the sound that you found for me" hits me in the heart.

I also liked Ann and Chris's decision to not get married.

I'm one of the apparently few people who liked this character, and while I don't think he would've fit very well in this past episode, I do wish he'd return at least once or hell, even just get mentioned.

The Gary/Jerry/Larry/Terry thing is not doing it for me. It would've been more interesting and funny for Leslie to have been uncharacteristically nice to him in that final scene (she could've pointed to him as a good employee while firing Jon Hamm) and have called him "Gary." Then we could spend the summer wondering…

Your comment just made me wonder something. As usual, my understanding of the season 9 mythology is pretty spotty, but wasn't there a time when the bad guys were trying to kill either Mulder or William (but not both)? If that were the case, wouldn't it have been the safest for the two of them to stick together instead…

Scully's storyline in the movie was so boring to me that I can't even remember what the "abrupt ending" Zack mentions was. Does the little boy die, leading Scully to an amazing spiritual realization like "God isn't fair" or something? Man, they could've at least given the kid a really freaky disease. Grey's Anatomy…

I wanted to add one last reminder for anyone who hasn't seen it and would like to keep seeing fresh discussions of this show to check out Shaenon Garrity's Monster of the Week comic; she posts a comic about a new episode every week. I think she's up to Memento Mori now. Especially check out the one for Clyde Bruckman.…

My memory is vague, too, but I definitely remember wondering what was going to happen to Skinner—and Doggett, Reyes, and Kersh—after all of this, what with the fugitive-abetting, to say nothing of the stuff said during the trial.

Well, thank you, and FYI, the sentence "I gotta go with Bigtits on this one," has made me laugh harder than anything else has today.

I will support your minority voice and add my own, though I feel a little differently. I was a shipper when I watched this show as a kid, but watching it as an adult, ehhhh… I mean, I don't really mind the two of them as lovers, I think the flirting is generally cute, and I'm always in favour of seeing hot people make…

I don't know if the fact that I said "oooh, I see" a lot of times reading that site means that I'm an idiot, the show didn't express itself well, or just that I tuned out during a lot of the overwrought monologues that explained this stuff throughout the seasons.

I'm watching this series for the first time (almost through season one) and am going to be so into these reviews if they don't have spoilers for later episodes. Is that usually the case with these? I've seen some spoilers in the comments so I'll be careful about reading those. Anyway, very happy that this show is…

Todd's point about loneliness is such a good insight. I think I've mentioned in these comments before that sometimes my enjoyment of this show comes from reading against how the writers seem to want me to see the characters,* and maybe a part of that is because the show had so many different writers, and only some of…

I agree with the general consensus that Scully became a shadow of herself in relation to William, but that seeing her give him up in that way was also a cop-out. If the powers that be wanted Mulder and Scully on their own for the finale, I'd rather have seen Scully give William away earlier. We'd have fewer "my baby!"…

Also, best username. Too bad 'ol BMcP wasn't randomly brought back for the finale, like so many others!

I would've enjoyed a scene of Scully teaching Mom Scully to shoot a gun.

I hated it, too, and had a similar "has the whole world gone topsy-turvy?" feeling reading these comments, but then I remembered feeling the same way during the Post-Modern Prometheus review, and now I've accepted that I have a negative (and I guess incorrect) reaction to many of Chris Carter's journeys into humour.
