Millennium- Season 3 Watching Millennium’s final season, it’s easy to see why the show got cancelled. Though it had great actors and great writing and some pretty chilling procedural drama, it changed its style every single season, something I’m sure alienated viewers when the show was on the air. The first season was a very [...]

The X-Files- Season 6 SPOILER ALERT The sixth season of The X-Files picks up right where the movie left off, with Mulder and Scully presenting their findings to a group of directors at the FBI, a very elegant way to recap what happened in Fight the Future. Season premiere “The Beginning” is extra cool because [...]

In case you hadn’t figured it our already, SPOILER ALERT. The X-Files: Fight the Future At long last I reach the first X-Files film, often subtitled “Fight the Future.” I have a very vivid memory of seeing this movie in the theaters on opening night, and seeing it again left me awash with nostalgia.

I had been waiting for this to happen: an opportunity to watch the series, from beginning to end, every single episode. Netflix just handed [...]

Before the start of the season, I was convinced FlashForward was going to be year’s best new series. It had an intriguing premise- catastrophic event causes everyone in world to black out for two minutes and seventeen seconds; those that aren’t killed see a moment from the future six months later. It had some cool [...]
