Personally, I found that last season utter crap (one good episode, 2-3 bad episodes, and 2-3 atrocious episodes). It pretty much cemented my view that Chris Carter had very little to do with X-Files' success, and I have no interest if he's involved in the new episodes.

Honestly, I thought the CGI for the protomolecule monster was dodgy at points. The overall creature design was fine, but a few of the shots looked a little fake, which I guess is what happens when you show CGI creatures close-up on a TV budget. Wasn't bad enough to take me out of the scenes, at least.

It wasn't a great fight, but the part that bothered me is her trying to fire the gun, having it lock out, and then the other guy saying "oops" without firing his own gun (which was pointed right at her) giving her plenty of time to jump him. They could have choreographed that whole scene a lot better.

I loved last season, but this episode felt a little forced.

I agree that some of the dialogue seemed a little forced, particular Amy who is veering close to flanderization (though not there yet). Gary's eye-rolling reactions to Selina's put-downs also seemed very broad, though that could be just a case of him being pushed to the limit. And I am officially tired of Furlong's

Like a lot of these lists, they would do well to differentiate between "worst" and "most disappointing". For example, the Hitchhikers Guide movie was the most disappointing film I saw in the theatre - not because it was awful, but because it had some serious flaws.

Didn't Jason Statham's character straight up murder a whole bunch of people in the previous films? And now he's a good(ish) guy? Ugh.

So did Generation X completely disappear? Not singling you out but some people seem to talk like after the baby boomers (the last of which were born in the 50s or early 60s) nobody was born until the 80s (or whenever the millennials started showing up). Of course, those of us from Generation X are known for our

Wow, you have articulated so well why I love Coop!

The show has me actually feeling sorry for Errinwright…I need to keep reminding myselg of some of the horrible things he was complicit in!

That scene of her running like crazy towards the UN line, then throwing herself at their feet asking for asylum, was very good. The actress is really growing on me after a shaky start,

Another great episode! I love the way this show can really sell the quiet moments, like Alex joking around on the ship, or Bobbie being entranced by the ocean. I know some people thought that the pre-Ganeymede Bobbie scenes this season seemed a bit like filler (and they were not in the books) but they have all paid

Maybe the Division felt Clark (and all those soldiers) were perfectly acceptable casualties as a first wave. Throw them at David and let them die, so they can gather intel and then decide on the next wave. Remember, it looked like they wanted to stick Clark with a desk job after his accident, so it may be that they

For some reason I thought I recalled a scene of her telling Anderson about the missile, but I guess I was wrong.

It may have been said before, but if they ever feel the need to make another Terminator movie (and they should never make another Terminator movie) then Amos/Wes Chatham would be perfect as a cold, murderous, single-minded robot. The way he just stalks down the corridor with a fixed expression is chilling.

I agree, that big grin she had when experiencing zero-G was a little odd considering their circumstances (Prax in mourning for his daughter, Ganymede largely destroyed, the two of them being separated). Other than that, it was a fantastic scene.

I'm pretty sure Naomi has told Fred about the missile sitting out there with the protomolecule sample. So he does not have it in his hands, but he can go get it.

Just two quick notes:

I think that, after the conversation with Dawes, Holden had a sudden realization that Dawes knew (or suspected) more than he was letting on, and realized the scientist was their weakest link. I agree it was a little out of character to go and kill the scientist - maybe he just realized the scientist was now very

The Holden and Dawes scene was definitely great, as much for what was not said as for what was.
