After hearing this news, I started going through X-Files Season 2 again this week.  It sure brings back memories. What a series  :)

Cancer Man  FTW


I remember Mulder & Scully even had a spot on that old CGI cartoon Reboot 

"I will return before you can say 'antidisestablishmentarianism'."

"A man may fight for many things. His country, his principles, his friends. The glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn."

Scenes like this are what made Firefly brilliant

It's like an Elmore Leonard novel, but in Space.  ;D

I wish Joss Whedon would do something like Firefly. That'd be sweet.

He did okay* with The Avengers (and presumably Av2: Electric Ultrongoo).


* for "okay" read "much more than okay".  O0

^I'm told by original Battlestar Galactica fans that it was pretty much this as well.

A Mormon western, yes.

The modern remake series has a lot of that theme as well.

I thought it was a good start to a new round of episodes. A little slow in the first half, but the second half was really good. Nice to see Mulder and Scully back together.

I thought it was less than inspiring re-tread. Go back to the spooky stuff. Whatever happened to the Peacocks?

Yeah, the "spooky stuff" in the original series was cool.

Then they started gunking it up with their secret gov't conspiracy wannabe-drama bullshit.  I wasn't surprised to see it end after moving from the enjoyable Weird/Monster tales to increasingly injecting that dull BS.

What's really spooky is after all these years Mulder is still just as gullable as he always was and Scully is still single.
