I don't think it is the best answer. It is one answer, but not the best. Nothing is stopping these men in high powered jobs hiring women for leadership roles. Jessica Elbaum could be made an executive of the existing production company.

Why the separate, but equal approach?

Dismissing fangirls in fandoms? Totally a trope. Has long been a trope.

You are being dismissive of teen girls. I don't think any girls started watching the show because they thought Matt Smith was dreamy (he isn't; he's weird looking, and a role like the modern Doctor can make just about anyone attractive) and I doubt many of them knew who Smith or Tennant were before their casting

Yes! I hate his need for repeated phrases, as if they create menace all on their own. It kind of is a metaphor for him, creating the same things that worked the first time around over and over again until they have no meaning and become empty and annoying.

One of the tiny local independent rental places closed this week. After Blockbuster closes, I think that leaves one video store (also indie) in town left.

"Fishy?" Really?

I believe it was implied the sleepwalking was due to the abuse (emotional and physical) from his father when he was a child (he was found turning on the mixer and radio, like his mother turned on when his father beat him). The sleepwalking was brought on again with Libby's pregnancy, so it probably has to do with the

The connection is Hiddleston and Cumberbatch.

I'm not recommending "Chinga," only that it is noteworthy for Stephen King's involvement.

I swear "cerulean blue" entered my head without cause the other day when I was turning onto my street. So many X-Files things are burned into my brain.

Of course! I love recommending X-Files episodes. If you want to stick to monster-of-the-week episodes, these are essentials (in addition to "Jose" and "Clyde") across the first six seasons: Squeeze/Tooms, Ice, Beyond the Sea, Irresistible, Humbug, War of the Coprophages, Pusher, Paper Hearts (references mythology, but

Just a note about "Jose Chung": it's a bit of a deconstruction of the series, so it lands best within the context of the other episodes, but it's fine on its own, especially since you are probably aware of the series' tropes already.

That episode scared me, too, and I would skip rewatching it when I was young (I'm pretty sure it was on one of those VHS sets I had). Any representation of spiritual evil scared/scares me more than mutants, which is probably an effect of religious childhood. Donnie Pfaster was a double-scare, because he was both a

I didn't remember it this way and just looked at the airing order of S4. Home was the second episode. The cancer arc didn't start until around episode 12 or 14. I don't think she knew about her infertility until later. Mulder new about Scully's stolen ova in episode 14, but she didn't find out until a later season.

Sonia and Brandon, since you had never seen an episode of The X-Files before this, does "Home" make you more or less likely to watch the series now?

I don't remember being afraid of this episode. The "monsters" didn't seem too far out from the worst of the MOTW characters (I was more frightened by the everyday human monsters and the representations of evil, like Donnie Pfaster). I probably was, and still am, more deeply disturbed by the violent murders of the

I attempted to listen to that podcast but didn't get far because of that and how annoying it was that he thought his ideas on morality were profound. How far did he carry the pedophile discussion?
