TV/Movies Megathread

I'm probably the only person on this forum who never watched X-Files.

The overarching plot was pretty lame IMO.  I found the standalone "creature of the week" episodes way more satisfying.

The overarching plot was pretty damn great until it dawned on me they had no idea where they were going with it; sort of Lost avant-la-lettre.

The episode about the Roswell autopsies was a favorite of mine.

Yeah, it was a lot like Lost.  The first part was very good, full of possibilities which never really panned out.

I saw like part of one episode and maybe half an hour of one of the movies.

[Eddie Teach]

I saw a handful of episodes, never got into it. Back at the time, I mostly watched sitcoms.

Heh, I actually avoided Lost because someone told me it reminded them of The X-Files "without all of the standalone episodes".

[Caliga]

Also, the Lone Gunmen annoyed the crap out of me.

[lustindarkness]

I never watched Lost, I did watch X-Files.

I'm probably the only person on this forum who never watched X-Files.

I think I've seen maybe one whole episode and parts of half a dozen others.

[Admiral Yi]

I think I watched most of one episode, the one about the telemarketing monster.

Yeah, they never had any idea how they were going to pull all this together.  They were just going for "well this would look neat" or "this would be spooky".  Then it it became painfully obvious that they had not written an outline of what they wanted to depict.

Incidentally the first script I ever wrote was an X-Files fan script when I was 16

Mulder & Scully trapped in an elevator porno?

Paradise Lost 2. The stepdad does come across as a bit... differently innocent.

[Tonitrus]

[spoiler]How where the turning against him?  They were just telling him to stop beating the shit out of the guy.  [/spoiler]

[spoiler]it wasn't a one sided fight and in his mind at the time, he was trying to protect the settlement, and his prior conversations with the mayor were more to the effect that he'd had to leave rather than enforce justice[/spoiler]

I may revise my opinion...(warning, spoiler from comics ahead) [spoiler]it seems that the end of the episode is one of those things just about straight from the comics...with Michonne slugging him more to stop him from digging himself in a deeper hole than anything.  Just part of the events leading to the Ricktatorship.[/spoiler]
