I'm watching them once a week from this point on, so about 6 weeks late, but like the previous season, I'm sure I'll end up liking the one-offs (of which there are twice as many) more than those Mytharc things that the X-Files format only SEEMS to demand. But like the old video opening, with the stars in looking decades younger, they just can't seem to ditch it.<br /><br />If the show does continue, I think Amell and Ambrose should inherit it and make it their own.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-21619626329616672252018-02-28T16:55:41.518-04:002018-02-28T16:55:41.518-04:00"Who else is sick of the constantly retconned..."Who else is sick of the constantly retconned Mytharc?"<br /><br />I'm pretty sure that's everyone not named "Chris Carter".<br /><br />At least there are some better episodes so far in season 11. Not all of them, and the finale is supposed to be another Carter-written Mytharc episode, so we already know we'll be going out on a low note. Especially if Gillian Anderson really does make this her final season; I really kind of hope there isn't a season 12 at this point, even if it means the final episode ends up being a stinker.Green Luthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808312988625889127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-90866869533477195252018-02-28T08:22:08.363-04:002018-02-28T08:22:08.363-04:00The "last season's finale was only a drea...The "last season's finale was only a dream/vision and most of it didn't really happen (yet)" was beyond risible, lowering the show to the level of finding Bobby Ewing alive in the shower. When the show no longer plays fair with its viewers because the creator can't find any other way to get out of the corner he painted himself into, it's a low-point in franchise history.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.com
