Look, I’m just happy we got a hookup.

Imho, the episode wasn’t great but reminded me of mediocre MOTW episodes of season’s past that have little explanation and the best part is banter and chasing leads.

I just thought the whole thing that brought Scilly back into the arms of Mulder being some quip about being old and dried up by a psychotic woman was a bit out of character. I mean, not getting a tattoo possibly made with hallucinatory ink character, but still not really “Scully”, in the way that the generalization “a…

Your editor changed the aspect ratio without consulting director or DP???

I was angry enough about the way that the DP’s role in color timing had been reduced as we move into a more post-centric model (I work in post, btw, but direct and DP small projects on the side), but now I’m all the more livid.

Check your streaming box config. There may be something their that is stretching the 4:3 stuff.  I have a built in Roku on one of my TVs and Star Trek looks fine.  

This was a good episode.

I was also hoping that comic book resurrection would happen as well in this episode.

A few things:

While we’ll have to see how the season actually plays out if Fox drives a dumptruck full of money up to Anderson’s house in a year she’d come back.

Rewatching the X-Files right now on Hulu. On the episode “Travelers” does anyone else find it concerning that Bill Mulder let a man who needed to kill things to live go? I really just don’t understand his justification.

Let’s get real here for a moment. The UFP of supposed to be a kind of worldwide government that represents all of earth. White people only represent about 15% of the earth’s population, roughly one billion or so, between the US and Europe. (Canada and Australia’s populations are too small to be statistically…

Better than poisoning water, I suppose.

God I love this show!

I liked your review, I think I will check out that blog of yours. Also, you are the third Kevin Johnson I know of now, and, I apologize ahead of time if this is the kind of comment that counts as a micro aggression (I am still learning... sorry), all three Kevin Johnsons are Black.

Just for clarification, while this may be Clark Gregg’s directorial debut for this show, he has previously directed two films - “Choke” and “Trust Me” (at least the latter of which I believe he also wrote).

So I rewatched the scene, and... man, they *really* look like some cold blooded head shots Fitz take, and the bodies fall a bit more direct than the human bodies hit with Icer shots, and also don’t they use another SFX for Icer shots, not actual bullets? Coupled with Simmons throat-slash, it really looked like a…

That’s not what I meant. He’s always been the face of evil, but that episode suggested his motives might be more complicated and he might have different sides to him. You know, actually developing your main villain for the first time in seven seasons, and this completely shat on that.

Wait what?? I missed this too. There wasn’t a bunch of people getting sick and etc?? What the fuck?

Yeah. Those two popped up last night and I completely forget why.

In San Junipero, a couple of senior citizens are tricked into being euthanized, but some cold comfort is offered (for the viewers, not the dead protagonists, who are dead) through the creation of young nubile sentient digital copies of them who get to live and bone into eternity.
