The Chris Carter Effect - TV Tropes
If it becomes evident the ongoing story is not preparing a resolution, then fans will stop following the work. It's said that no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the viewing public, but sometimes a show comes along, and it …

Been rewatching the xfiles from start to finish all the first 9 seasons. The overall Alien plot is pretty solid for the first 6-7 seasons, but get progressively dragged out and boring, with the smoking man surviving over and over. The standalone adventures are very hit or miss, some are kinda interesting, some are just weird, and some are downright silly, where they poke fun at themselves. Overall an ok watch, same elements as in newer shows like black mirror

The one with the mutant rednecks is still genuinely disturbing.

Yeah it peaks at Season 4-5. Season 6 is still decent but you can tell they're starting to run out of ideas and steam. Its also when they move production from Vancouver to LA so everything is much sunnier and brighter which takes away from the show.
I'd recommend watching through end of Season 6. Put it away at end of S6 and you'll be much happier about having watched this show.

I think he got too much sidetracked with side projects like Millenium, The Lone Gunmen and Harsh Realm. While both TLG and HR were unremarkable, Millenium was very interesting and I get that late 90' TV wasn't the time you would say no to anything if you were him, but maybe he should have sticked with Millenium and let XFiles die down with season 6.

I remember the tiny indian guy that didn't have legs but would roll around on a skateboard to get places. I'm pretty sure he had something to do with aliens. Or maybe he was just a weird looking dude that was what they guessed was the bad guy, but turned out not to be. I don't remember that much about that episode.
The truth is out there.

Millennium was really good imo. I did sort of like the one season of the Lone Gunmen but it's been a long time since I've seen it.
Also after season 6 just consider it something like the Twilight Zone with monster of the week stuff.

That was one of the weirder standalone episodes. The dude was supposedly some indian mystic who travelled around by crawling into peoples bodies, he travels from india to us seemingly without any purpose other than continue crawling into bodies

Youtube recommended me this video this week. About halfway through it. He makes a compelling argument that Chris Carter knew what he was doing and didnt just pull seasons 10 and 11 out of thin air to retcon the earlier seasons.

Seasons 10 and 11 are even more shit if you assume the incompetency was purposeful.
What else has this faggot published. Oh god, he's one of those people that thinks the star wars prequels were good. 13 minutes ranking the Wachowskis' movies when it should be a single entrant list. Accuses RLM of Dunning-Kruger(they've had some dumb opinions from time to time, but don't deserve that). Thinks Megalopolis is good. This channel is a soyjak meme personified.
