david_a posted:Outside of the overall myth-arc story being stupid, do the actual myth-arc episodes get bad at some point? I'm trying to justify abandoning the mythology since I know it leads nowhere good, but it's still pretty good so far (I just started S4). I'd argue that the ideas behind the mythology/black oil/BEEEEES get really, really muddled following seasons 4 and 5/The Movie, but that doesn't stop Vienen (from season 8) being one of the better late-season episodes that incorporates elements of the mythology into its plot whilst at the same time somehow managing to avoid making a complete headache of the rest of the episode. I never even bothered trying to watch The Sixth Extinction stuff, though. Admittedly, Vienen would probably work just as well as a self-contained monster episode since the mythology stuff that does come up doesn't really add to/clarify anything that's been established already and the rest of it is basically identical to something like Firewalker or Ice (Agents in peril in an isolated location! Intrigue!), but I'm biased because it's the black oil and the black oil frigging rules even if it makes absolutely no sense. It's also upsetting that the only other thing that I can think of Brian Thompson having a prominent role in is Joe Dirt.
