Sorry for not having a podcast.
Just finished the final episode of Season 11. That’s the lot.

Despite having spent roughly 150 hours this year watching it, and enjoying lots of it, I wouldn’t say I’m a fan.

I liked the revival series’ a lot more than I expected and I preferred that finale a damn sight more than the original one
I’m going to try and get through the X-Files again. I’ve only made it as far as season 5 before, twice actually, and then life got in the way.

Can’t believe this is what they’ve called The Crow remake.

FYI Wicked 2 is getting poor reviews, but it won’t matter at all because its key demographic (my 11-year-old) thinks it’s fucking amazing, and will have watched it twice in an 18 hour period.

Someone’s done the Wrath of Khan Starfleet Field Coat as a unisex cardigan.

Bold choice of the 2010’s revival series to basically go “you know all that mythology that we got you invested in for 9 long years? We’ve decided that was all bollocks.”

This is shite so far as well
November 15, 2025 at 12:21 AM
Finished.

That finale is gash.

Hopefully the two mini series improve it but I know they won’t because the X Files whole thing what if we made a show that’s irritating.

I can’t fucking believe how bad this finale is.
Well here we go.

Season 9 episode 19.

Time for “The Truth”

As much as I’ve disliked most of the last couple of seasons and the myth arc in general, the penultimate episode (Vince Gilligan’s farewell to the series) was odd but lovely so I’m going into the finale with more goodwill than anticipated

They’re starting to wrap things up now and what a bunch of bullshit it is.

“Jump The Shark” is one of the worst executions of a recurring character’s exit from a show ever.

And not in a bajillion years would Scully do what she does at the end of “William”.
10 episodes from the end.

It’s been a long and pretty turgid road.

No idea what’s going on with the mythology anymore, the monsters of the week are proper Marenghi, even the cool ideas are wasted, Gillian Anderson’s pretty much tapped out.

Roll on the apparently crap 2nd movie and reboot.

Woah.

Jesus Christ. Ten months I’ve been schlepping through this bloody thing.

Confident it’ll be over by Christmas, but they kept saying that about World War 2.
