weren't the hybrids immune to the black oil or something? Wasn't part of the human conspiracy trying to resit the alien invasion, Mulders Dad?

the cost of an individual lawsuit is low for CBS. The lawyers are already on payroll, they're a sunk cost. Their whole job is to sue people for just this kind of stuff using form copy letters. The $150k is also strategic as that's around what someone who doesn't have a lawyer already on the payroll would have to…

to seek out new markets and financial opportunities.

The answer is simple, they raised a million dollars which makes it profitable to sue them. They're asking for $150,000 in basic rights violations. If this had been another, made in my basement, affair CBS would not care. But they crossed that magical barrier where CBS could actually make more money than the lawyers…

The alien invasion is postponed for reason that were never clear. Also why they ever needed or wanted human help to take over the planet too. Maybe they're Space Republicans and just outsource everything? Apparently Mulder and Scully finally hook up in the movies but are broken up again when this new season starts.

Not a lot got a new living room chair for xmas to improve my bachelor pad TV watching experience. I also finished ripping and watching the first four seasons of King of the Hill.

Because that is the most complicated and thus unlikely of the possibilities. Your imagining a smoking man in the parking lot level conspiracy when the far more likely answer is the ex-boyfriend (its almost always the husband/boyfriend) killed her and the police were sure Avery did it because they knew he was the last…

It's no Backdoor Sluts 9.

All they would have to do is shoot him and put a gun next to his body. They could easily argue he was angry with them and that he pulled a gun on an officer. It's literally the oldest way for cops to get rid of people they don't like. To imagine a complicated murder of some woman they don't know and Avery barely…

It's definitely strange, though from documentary it seems like they were maybe suggesting the police killed her (?) which is of course ridiculous. The police may have planted evidence but they sure as hell didn't kill her. The Sheriff said it himself, it would be easier to just kill Avery.

In an unrelated by still relevant display of police incompetence, check out how the Waco police just charged those bikers from earlier with 10 murder charges when only 9 people died and 2 to 4 of them were killed by the police themselves. http://www.theatlantic.com/…

I'm not sure there was any legal reason for the restriction save that the judge ordered them not to.

Considering all the trouble the show has with developing any of the characters it would have made sense for them to collapse Bill and Maureen into a single character.

An interesting case and documentary. Though from my perspective I though it ran for twice the length it should have considering the actual information given. In terms of the case it's clear Dassey never should have been convicted due to the incompetent interrogation of him and utter lack of any evidence showing he…

That was the one thing that really irked me about the documentary. The 2nd and 3rd burn sites. Other than the very brief bit of the lawyers talking about how the remains could have been moved the documentary didn't bother to really show any information about it. Didn't even bother establishing for the viewer where…

Did they ever find or look to find who was calling her? Her boss mentioned that she had been receiving some sort of harassing phone calls but didn't know from who or for how long.

We see so little of him around people other than his family its hard to tell if 'Angry Dad' is his only mode or not. I can imagine he was (pre-promotion) more likable at work as everyone got the same shit dumped on them so his anger would be matched by everyone else being angry at the same thing.

The show very much has the feeling of King of the Hill if Hank could have sworn on broadcast TV.

"But were outside."

yeah back then it would have been something only the FBI and CIA did. Only on Drug Lords too, not backwater murder cases.
