This is going to be just as dumb as Lovecraft country. Do these people ever have an original idea? Let's copy some white show from 20 years ago but darken it up!

That looks like the after effects when the cigarette smoking man falls asleep and burns down the house that he's still inside of.

Everyone is gay, even if they’re pretending to be happy in a straight relationship. Women must figure shit out and make decisions because men are indecisive and insecure.

I’ve been watching s1 this week and man it holds up so well in 2026.
A 30 year old show really puts modern television writing to shame.
just watched s1e8: ICE.
it absolutely has “the thing” and “the abyss” vibes to it. Love it.
In e7, Mulder made a “that’s very PC of you” joke. Based.

Back in the 90's television knew how to create a setting that engrossed the viewer and scripting that you had to pay attention to. Now everything is just quick shots back and forth with shit writing. The only modern television that comes close is HBO.

If you can't write a good ending, you are not a good writer.
Abrams is all set-up and no substance.

"What if I literally just have the hand of god come down and stop the bad guy?"And yet this guy built an empire on it.
No idea how he ever thought the ending of the Stand was a good idea. Albeit, Tolkein had Eru Illuvitar (Middle Earth Yhwh) resurrect Gandalf, which isn't much better. If you have an all-powerful deity, I think the only way it can really work in a compelling way is Dr Manhattan-style. Just complete indifference. Otherwise, there never is any real risk because the deity can just save the day at any point.
