I always say that the Evil Dead movie series is a fine example Goldilocks principle. Evil Dead is plain horror (and probably too ambitious for its budget), Army of Darkness is way too silly, but Evil Dead 2 strikes that perfect balance. There's funny stuff in it, but there's also some genuinely creepy moments in it.

That's the confusing part, they destroy the cabin and the Necronomicon in 1982, but judging by Ash's speech at the celebration, all the events of the movies and seasons 1 and 2 still happened. Somehow.

Isn't that one of the groups that worshiped Gozer? Sumerians, Hittites, Mesopotamian and Mennonites.

No, Nic Lea has confirmed he is not part of the revival.

First two seasons are very strong, with a few scattered stinkers. The first one starts as a serial-killer-of-the-week show, but it slowly becomes apparent there's something more to the evil Frank Black is fighting against. In season two things are slightly different, as it becomes a Foucault's Pendulum/DaVinci Code…

Hmm, from what I remember it was Morgan and Wong that chose to give that character trait to Mulder. Most likely an in-joke, for those that knew Duchovny personally.

To be fair, Pat is like. what, 10 years older than the rest? I mean, he was in a band (Germs) the others listened to as kids.

I think Dave Grohl has always done that. He first takes care of the music part, and later writes some nonsense lyrics on top of it. You can watch on youtube some old Foo Fighters performances, where they would premiere songs that eventually would be part of The Colour And The Shape, with considerably different lyrics.…

For me, one of the major differences is that the original intro had images and footage that was all grainy/grungy/lo-def, kinda giving out that "feel" that it was obtained who knows how, with who knows what equipment, and that it had been "unearthed" after years of storage somewhere. The Season 9 intro had the same…

You are right. Still, it feels wrong that bogus charges would be dropped for a relatively minor case regarding a missing FBI agent, which would be a big deal in real life, but within the world of the X-Files is nothing.

It wasn't just Skinner. It was supposed to happen early during season 8, but Laurie Holden's schedule prevented the writers to develop the idea.

I stand corrected. I still don't like it. :)

You think that's bad? In the series finale, when Scully tells Mulder she had to give William away, his reaction is: "Oh, yeah, Skinner told me". What?! A moment like that, Mulder learning his son was given away, happened off-camera? Yikes.

Pretty much. He always worked for his best own interest, but for the first time it really looks like he is working under no one's orders.

Scully does mention, in a throw away line, that Drummy (XZibit) told her the FBI wasn't chasing them anymore, that the charges had been dropped, or something like that.

These episodes are problematic to me. First, I really, really hate the 'SIX MONTHS LATER' bit. What happened during those 6 months? Nothing?

Does Pfaster *really* turn into a demon? I always interpreted it like the reverend was finally "seeing" Pfaster's true nature, not unlike what Scully saw in 'Irresistible'.

I always thought that Scully and Doggett should've found Mulder (dead) much earlier in the season. That way, they could've shown how Scully, and even Doggett, dealt with Mulder's death for a few episodes, before the inevitable Mulder resurrection. There's something very unsatisfying about next episode, where Mulder is…

It started as a plot-driven show, with iconic characters. Later, with the plot spiraling out of control, the writers had to rely on the characters to keep the show afloat.
