maybe Mulder has been juicing Alien DNA this whole time.

that's the way I've always supported but not with Einstein and fake Mulder. What ever they did they need to steer away from a 'new' version of Skully and Mulder. It would just piss off original fans and pointlessly confine the characters. Probably better to expand it into an ensemble show with an occasional…

I hypothesize that we all were suffering from some sort of mass hallucination and there was in fact no episode at all.

maybe would have worked best if they ignored the mythology till the very end. They solve some monster of the week cases and then in the last scene they see a UFO together. Give each other a look, 'here we go again', and close to black to end the show forever.

no the true successor is Supernatural. It's highly similar just with Demons swapped in for Aliens. Hell they even film on the same road the X-Files used all the time for establishing shots.

it would have been great if it just fired and killed them right then and there. Put a definite 'you lose' cap on the whole saga.

for all the work the X-Files did in setting up the era of long form TV storytelling this was an amazing example of how not to do it. You need to drip in the long arc story every episode even if its just a few lines of dialogue. Not start, stop and then jam it all in at the end.

I would agree with that. Were Beast nailed the monster of the week fun of the original show. The rest was just well I literally can't remember what happened in the others. Which is a pretty good example of how lame the revival really was.

Mulders fight scene was stupid, even had a moment of slow-mo in it. Just completely uncharacteristic of him. He can throw a punch maybe but he's not going to be flipping people around like that.

It's more like a less depressing Office. I'd say the Community vibe is from the cast being diverse and youngish.

so does this mean we can expect at least a half hour to take place on a different planet in an ultimately unnecessary setup?

2. I'm betting the Monarch will get kind of stocked being a hero but when he finds out everyone thinks it's Rusty going Batman. He'll flip out and go back to being the Monarch again.

Oh for the good old days where we imprisoned our celebrities in winter cabins and broke their legs if they didn't write what we wanted them to.

yes it does tell us quiet early. The real trick is I don't think the audience realizes the trick has already started. Which if course is a magicians trick, to do something seemingly non-magical, but really is, and then surprise the audience when they produce the results of the unexpected trick.

Watched the first episode, got as far as the guy choosing wallpaper and decided I hated him. then Netflix crapped out so I watched GITS: Arise 4 instead. Not sure which was worse.

He's in the same room as the guys crushing him. So he's trying I guess.

it's always just the same publicly released trailer on repeat. You're acting like they snuck a camera into the theater and filmed themselves mystery science theater style.

probably the only even potential competitor to Youtube is Facebook. They seem to have some sort of slow (maybe just incompetent) video plan in motion. If they were smart they'd promise better legal protection to these kinds of guys and they'd switch overnight and lose very few of their followers since they'd still…
