Know one knows the day or the hour my prophecies will come to pass – not even me!

The longer the black oil/mythology/whatever stuff went on, the less I cared. The standalone episodes were always my favorite.

I predict I will agree with this statement.

I predict the mystery of what became of Davnes007 after 13 October 2015 will remain a mystery for some time to come.

It’s funny, despite the fact that we constantly complain about newbies not reading the first post, how many of us fail to read the first post.

I postdict that I will be rendered undone.

[JEDIT]

Dammit. Broke the rules again.

Terminator Genisys trailer is spoilers.

It certainly spoiled my desire to ever watch the movie.

But I digress. . . .

President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!

Trump’s sex life disgusts and infuriates me.

I found it boring and another exercise in loose continuity*.

*First the black oil’s presented as a sapient intelligence that takes possession of human hosts, then it’s a virus that sends people into catatonia, then it’s alien semen. I guess its effects are whatever the hell Carter wants them to be at any given moment.

Bolded that last bit since it’s the most accurate description of The X-Files as a whole I’ve ever seen.

For the record, I think season 8 was the best season of X-Files after Fight the Future. It was a great return to form after the “meh” season 6 and the mostly-abysmal season 7. They should have ended it with 8 and either not introduced the super soldier stuff, or kept 8 as it aired, took a few years off, and done a movie or two to wrap up the super soldier plotline.

Season 9 was hot garbage all the way through, I Want to Believe was aggressively average and handwaved the series finale away in terrible fashion, and the only thing worthwhile about season 10 was the Were-Monster episode.

For a while I pretended the show ended with Mulder’s abduction in the season 7 finale and disregarded season 8 onward because I remembered hating it when it aired, but I rewatched everything in the lead up to season 10, and season 8 turned out to actually be pretty damned good. So as it stands now, season 8 is the ending for me unless season 11 turns out to be absolutely goddamn amazing.

I got more enjoyment out of Seasons 9-10 than you did, though I do agree Season 8 was the best of the latter seasons. It even reignited my interest in the mytharc until Season 9 quenched it again.

I predict I’m going to listen to this album and finally learn what it means to be a victim of the loudness war.

Word to the wise. Don’t order the large drink before the movie.

yeah, with that run-time, avoid soft drinks altogether!

Were I a moviegoer, I’d eagrely accept the challenge just to see how long I could hold my bladder.

You’re a sapient chihuahua. Now it all makes sense.

the one good movie

There was a third X-Files movie?

“Friend of yours? Look, he hasn’t got any relatives and the coma he’s in is irreversible. Give me a signature and I’ll pull the plug now.”

That article was written in 2015? I didn’t think TV was still shot on film.

FWIW, I’m not entirely sold on the queen concept, either. But if there was gonna be a queen, I would’ve preferred it more of a Freudian nightmare.

Is there going to be more emphasis on the Mytharc this time or is Carter going to dick around again?

[JEDIT]

According to Wiki, Season 11 will have eight standalone episodes and two Mytharc episodes. My guess is Carter’s just going to continue doing what he’s always done: drag the Mytharc along for as long as he can with no real plan or goal in mind.

Times like these I’m glad I’m not a Mytharc fan. If I was, I’d be really annoyed by Anti-Straczynski’s showrunning.

[RETURN OF THE JEDIT]

Miller & Einstein are returning.

I see you haven’t been seduced by the psychosexual side of the Force.

More Canadian scum on this forum?

Goodbye, OT.com. It was good while it lasted.

I had a dream I was the playable character in an X-rated combination of ActRaiser and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

That’s all I’ll say about that.

I wish I never had to sit through any of the Alien sequels/prequels.

Oh come on.

Until visiting this site, I didn’t know that there was a single person on earth that disliked Aliens. I’m still considering the possibility that everyone who claims to dislike Aliens is actually lying.

I like Aliens, it’s quotable, it’s got great action sequences but boy is it overrated, not as overrated as the truly awful T2

WHAT?!?!

T2 is a long drawn out pointless remake of the first film that actively undermines everything the superior first film did. The ending is nonsensical too and the cheesy humour. T2 is, in its own way as bad as any of the other sequels. And like all the other sequels it’s got some good bits in it but I could live without them just to erase it and remember the original film as the only film in the series. I like the Sarah Coral Coracles though.

Everyone I know acts like I’m a weirdo for thinking T1 is a better movie, but damn it, T2 is still 8/10 at least!

QFT

I’m indifferent to Aliens.

Perhaps if the film was made in the same horror vein as Alien and the Alien Queen looked like this I’d feel differently, but it wasn’t and she doesn’t, so I don’t.
