Earlier this year my recaps of NBC’s shittastic and now cancelled drama The Event got me a good deal of traffic, probably because I was one of the few people on the internets actually willing to waste their time watching and then writing about it. I’ve since gone on to do recaps for The Killing [...]

The X-Files- Season 8 Sigh. That exclamation pretty much sums up how I feel about The X-Files’ penultimate season. This is one of the best sci-fi shows ever made we’re talking about here, hell one of the best TV shows ever made ever, so it really pains me to talk about its slow, laborious death. [...]

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 [...]

Millennium- Season 1 When most of you hear the word “millennium,” you probably think “term used to describe 1000 years” and not “show about serial killers by X-Files creator Chris Carter.” So let me give you a little background. In the second half of the 1990s people were freaking out about the impending dawn of [...]

I’m actually getting close to finishing the first season of Millennium (finally). Expect a review of that shortly. The X-Files- Season 5 Season 5 is undoubtedly the best season of The X-Files to date, and if I was to venture a guess, I’d say it’s probably the best overall. There’s nary a bad installment in [...]

At long last, the retrospective returns! Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I had a really busy job in October, then I got a stomach virus, then I bought Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and couldn’t stop playing it. Probably have to do a blog post on that, too… The X-Files- Season 4 Putting the uneven [...]

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 [...]
