As much as the lore shat the bed, I do like that the Aliens, and their motivation and possible culture, is just completely unknowable. Perhaps not entirely by design, but it skirts cosmic horror.

(or "want to be"?), the band reminded me of Styx. Anyone familiar with the song, or this video? It wasn't this one, but similar idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_tG0xgaGzw

Then that gets forgotten and he’s just there to kill humans whenever certain alien stuff is at risk of being exposed. Other alien stuff is not a big deal, apparently.

When you're an alien shapeshifter, surprisingly your career choices get limited. No one wants a shapeshifting accountant or car mechanic. No, its pretty much either spy, narc, assassin, or bounty hunter.

Alien Bounty hunter is retired, just trying to live a quiet suburban life.. Has a boring job in procurement for a logistics company, a wife and 3 kids. They live in a 2 bedroom ranch in Iowa and his wife hates their boring life. so much that she's having an affair with another man. But that man is an under cover black ops agent who is trying to expose her husband for who he really is. Or is this already a thing? Kinda sounds like True Lies.

We finished our watch-through recently and the drop-off in quality from S6 on coincides with them moving filming from Vancouver to LA (entirely at Duchovny's behest). It lost Vancouver's grey, damp and ominous atmosphere that really contributed to the tone of the show and suddenly everything was bright and sunbleached. Plus every episode they were having to come up with more and more convoluted reasons for Mulder & Scully to jet off to the west coast for yet another desert-based mystery. Doggett was a pretty good character but they never really got a good handle on writing for Reyes (and the less said about what they did with her in final season the better). If they'd had the guts to properly focus on Doggett & Reyes' characters in S8 and 9 I think it would have benefitted the show, but it really suffered from the hunt for Mulder and then having Scully just sort of floating about in some of the later episodes and not really doing much other than reminding you of Team Mulder & Scully not being around anymore.

Whenever Mulder's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Mulder?"

It was a really good idea to use the half of the season they had Duchovny for at the end instead of the beginning, and then to just have him as a supporting character just kind of farting around and helping the new agents. They just executed it poorly and then did another season after a conclusion that was decent enough for Mulder and Scully (they’re pretty much done with fighting aliens and happy to leave that to the new characters while they focus on raising their kid). A few more episodes of Duchovny/Patrick teaming up and learning respect for one another would have really sold it when Mulder took the heat for blowing up an oil rig and got fired. Then a couple more with him just consulting and seeing the new kids do it on their own would have been great. The show also suffers from taking the conspiracy stuff in that weird robot army guy direction. The black oil and everything from the Mulder era just drops out, so it’s weird having him back investigating Adam Baldwin. Maybe part of those final episodes could have been him realizing that all his expertise on the old conspiracy is basically useless and he’s behind the times post-resurrection.

Yeah he said he would quit if they didn't move closer because his then wife (Tea Leoni) who was shooting another show. That show was cancelled the same year X-Files moved production. Kinda of a selfish thing to do when you consider the crew that had been working on this show for 5 years. Also he cheated on her several times and now I am suddenly remembering that Californication was thing and wonder if I should re-watch.

Lucy Lawless's Super Soldier was supposed to be a recurring character in S9 but she ended up having a traumatic pregnancy and they had to write her out of the show almost immediately which is a bit of a shame as that could have been cool.

 Dogget just shot John Locke from Lost and he got run over by a train that Mulder was riding on?!  EDIT: AND HE SURVIVED SOMEHOW?! EDIT: I should really put my phone down and focus on the episodes while watching so I know what's going on. Outpost22 fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Apr 24, 2024 |

I think I've seen exactly one episode of Millennium and it was the one about three demons having a chat over coffee as a framing device for an anthology of sorts.

I just started watching Resident Alien and I love it. I'm only on the 1st season but it feels like a Darin Morgan episode but no one has called the FBI yet.

I think there are still some great later episodes and some of them are served by the sunbleached noir vibe, like the genie episode that's all trailerparks and storage units. But otherwise, the Canadian locations were better.

They also come with that sweet, sweet tax credit. I think every single CW series filmed in Vancouver, at least the Arrowverse. I see lots of shows now shooting in Halifax and other parts of NS.
