I like it better on this side of the click, not knowing it exists for sure.

It's a godawful small affair.
The Washingtonians is, to date, one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on television.
I hope you're leaving Angela Bettis out of that slam, because she's terrific in all of Lucky McKee's stuff.
I HATE to say this, but MOH will always be notable to me because it may contain the last great horror movies by John Carpenter and Dario Argento. I hope I'm wrong.
I feel like modern Showtime would have shown it. Not that their original content even approaches that, but I think Showtime is getting more brazen in their attempts to be as ground-breaking as HBO.
Screwfly Solution was the show in a nutshell - brilliant, gorgeous concepts, but delivered with TV flatness.
Showtime, the cowards. I just imagined Takashi Miike giggling over the phone when someone broke the news to him, that he had gotten his money, made something they couldn't air, and it wouldn't impact his career a lick.
Cigarette Burns is great, but if that's the last John Carpenter "movie" we get, I'll be upset.
I started marathoning X-Files last year when X-Files Files came out, and eventually fell off, but I feel like watching the first 3 or 4 seasons as-is, then picking select episodes after that is the way to go.
I consider The Thing my favorite movie, and I like Ice. it's like a big homage to the original and I don't mind more of what I like.
It surely does, because I totally forgot it was a show and not just a great anthology movie (the real Creepshow 3).
I feel like Bob is more conceptually terrifying than anything. The Peacock's are just outright visceral terror.
Since the overall arch of X-Files never really goes anywhere interesting, I think its an ideal show (like Twilight Zone or even Kolchak) to go off of "Best of" episodes after season 3 or 4.
I don't remember if I skipped a few of the middle episodes or if I just mentally blocked them out. That's how interminable Season 2 was.
Has anyone gone back and edited Season 2 down into a palatable 4 episode or so arch that's worth watching? Seems like a worthy endeavor.
If they counted Twilight Zone, yeah, Black Mirror counts.
Walking Dead isn't as good as Hannibal, no, but I think it's gotten terrific in the past two seasons. Seasons 2 & 3 are turkeys and I totally understand why anyone would have given up before 4.
Occasionally scary, but no, never good.
They were certainly well-cast and well-conceived, but yeah - the more they tried to tie themselves to the original concept, the more they dragged themselves down in comparison.
