Hey, I've been mentioned obliquely in one of Zack's writeups! I can die happy now. Possibly thereby rescuing my father from being unstuck in time.

I have Kanar in the attic.

I thought S7 was pretty good, even though the horror was dialed down somewhat for whimsy. The show was still stretching itself and experimenting, as "Hungry" demonstrates, and of course it's the last hurrah for the Mulder/Scully team. If the show had actually ended on this season, it…well, it probably still would have

I'd probably laugh if I saw it today, but yeah, I enjoyed it at the time too.

Maybe it's just because I'm a nerdy fanboy who draws random connections between everything that's put in front of my face, but I can't help but see a major influence from DS9 on Joss Whedon's shows. The scene with Joran definitely seems to prefigure a lot of Angelus scenes, and Jadzia is seeming more and more like an

I feel like Morrison gets a bad rap for being "incoherent". His writing tends to be extremely dense, yes, but that's something you can get away with in comics, where the reader controls the flow of information. Most comic writers try to be "cinematic" and treat each panel as a shot, leading to slower pacing (and the

Also, no matter how in thrall Jesse may be to Walt, he wouldn't be able to overlook Walt killing the kid. They'd be done—maybe he wouldn't be able to disentangle his affairs immediately, but he'd bolt the first chance he got.

The fact that "Tithonus" seems to validate Clyde Bruckman's prophecy that Scully wouldn't die is one of the things that duped me into thinking the show still might have had some kind of plan.

Abrams, who would probably bring Lindelof, would not be an improvement on Howard/Goldsman.
