Zesty Mordant posted:I just watched "The Amazing Maleeni" and its is a total by the numbers X-Files episode that is simply really entertaining. It could be an episode of anything, CSI, whatever though. Considering where CSI takes place I'd be amazed if they haven't done at least one story like The Amazing Maleeni.

Wheat Loaf posted:For example, keep in mind that one Tom Clancy novel where the villains were originally Muslim terrorists mounting an attack on the continental United States, but were changed to a far-right militia before publication because it was felt that it would be more believable that way. Wait, which Clancy book was that? The only far-right militia guys I remember in a Clancy book were Dumb and Dumber trying to blow up Washington with a concrete mixer full of fertilizer in Executive Orders (which also had Iran launch a bio-attack on the U.S. as prelude to attempting to take over the entire Saudi Penninsula). And Sum of All Fears had a pair of Muslim terrorists nuke Denver

JetsGuy posted:1) Who the gently caress is watching Supergirl? People who leave their TVs on one channel? Me, for one. This week's episode featured J'onn J'onzz fighting a goddamn White Martian. Supergirl is A-Ok. As was Founder's Mutation, that was some gruesome, and fun X-Files. Plus, Vik Sahey as Gupta, always good to see Lester get work.

The Glumslinger posted:Except, isn't TV viewership pretty much down across the board from the 90s? Even when compared to a decade ago. Firefly got cancelled for having viewership numbers that would now be a hit. That 19.8 average for the X-Files would make it the most-watched non sports show on TV (or really close to it), and back then it was what, top-20 at best?

Basebf555 posted:These days(well, for the past decade or so) networks care more about other factors like demographics, blu ray sales, and binge-appeal than they used to, so the emphasis on ratings isn't what it was. If a show has a niche audience, but that audience is critical to the established ad contracts, it may be worth renewing it regardless of ratings. Or if the show has low ratings, but does really well on Netflix, that may justify its renewal because it means viewers are fairly likely to switch to watching episodes live if they catch up. Networks are also making a lot more of the content they air instead of buying it from an outside studio. Which means they get the money from syndication/streaming rights and can tolerate lower ratings from those shows because of it,

It felt like a really solid mid season stand alone episode, which I suppose it was, so good job there x-files. The opening sequence, spank bank icon, and Hannibal shout out were all good too.
