"One of them even disguised as a woman, but not very good. The other one had a completely blank face without any emotion. The only reaction he gave was when he saw the alien" "haaaaAAAAAAAAAAahhh" utterly brilliant. And yeah, it is my first time. I was never able to dig a show that I didn't follow from the very beginning. That's why I never watched Star Trek or the X-Files. Now I got all seasons on DVD and we're pretty much addicted to it right now
Imagine a remake of twinpeaks, strip all supernatural stuff from it and replace it with a talking anteater, and then hire Keanu Reeves to play Agent Cooper as a grumpy old cop who lost his wife. Riget is only 8 episodes long, but every episodes is a bit longer than an hour. It has so many good plotlines, so many character, and such good writing, that I'm totally fascinated everytime I watch it. The bad thing is that the show is not completed. The first 8 episodes are basically 2 seasons, and the third would have been the last, Lars von Trier even WROTE it, but two of the actors died before it even went into production. But it is still definitely worth the watch. This is probably the best TV Show I've ever seen.

Also, remember that the movie should be watched after the Season 5 finale.

It's not great, it's like an average episode extended. It takes place after the final season though.

The first X-Files episode I ever watched was the one with the green bugs and they made cocoons in the first season. My family was hooked from then on out. I went in to school the next day and was talking to my 1st grade teacher about how awesome the show was. I think she might've been scared.
The show went to crap when Mulder left though. And the season finale, though I've only watched it once, just made me sad. I was always scared of/grossed/weirded out by the episode "Home". but the channel FX used to have yearly Thanksgiving Day marathons of the viewer favorite episodes, and that episode was consistently number 1. I like the one in the Bermuda triangle. And the one where they grow old and have to drink snow globe water. And the one with Peter Boyle. And the one with Roland. And the one with the chicken. Show's got horribly good episodes all around~ |

Although I didn't like this on much, just like the episode after that with the afro american that had to kill other not to become white and die. Home was not supernatural enough for me, I never liked these Texas Chainsaw Massacre ~ like stories. And the one after that was just the same stuff AGAIN. I wonder how many more "serial murderers that need to feed on their victims to survive" cases I'll see until the X-Files are over.

30 Rock remains great, but The Office is dismal this season.
Outsourced is finally starting to give its characters some depth and is hopefully going beyond the yawn and/or cringe inducing lowbrow culture clash comedy of its first episodes. I want this show to work. I don't know how many more times I can watch The Middle. Love some of the actors, but hate the trite formula. Modern Family sometimes disappoints, but only because it usually is really good. Bored to Death is the season's best comedy. Great writing, great acting, only occasionally stumbles. Ted Danson sucking on the "antenna" of a pocket sized marijuana vaporizer disguised as a cell phone? Awesome. CSI. Eye candy. And Lawrence Fishburn just doesn't suck. House. Possibly developing some depth this season. Hopefully not just more endless misdiagnosing obscure diseases until after the last commercial break. Last edited by TeslaGuy : 2010.10.30 at 07:59 PM. |

I like 30 Rock but I feel as though this season and last were real misses. I mean they were okay but the writing wasn't as sharp as the first few seasons.
Anyone watching Community? I honestly think that is one of the most underrated shows on television right now (and I hear that its timeslot is up against The Big Bang Theory which would REALLY hurt it's viewership). The writing is brilliant and the show just feels so fresh with every episode too. I hope it doesn't get cancelled. Also, anyone watching Boardwalk Empire or The Walking Dead? |
