‘The X Files’ 11.01 Recap: “I Just Want Somebod
If 2016’s six-episode revival of ‘The X Files’ was a so-called “limited event series,” why did it end with a cliffhanger begging for more episodes and what do we call the new season? Perhaps it’...
If 2016’s six-episode revival of ‘The X Files’ was a so-called “limited event series,” why did it end with a cliffhanger begging for more episodes and what do we call the new season? Perhaps it’...
‘The Flash’ trots out a parade of former cast members this week, in service of an episode plot that seems really busy until you realize that it’s ultimately of no consequence whatsoever.
I dreaded this. I knew going in that the finale of the ‘X Files’ revival would tie directly to the awful season premiere episode. Somehow, despite setting my expectations as low as possible (is there something lower th...
This new season of ‘The X Files’ is apparently determined to give us every type of episode from the old show, from some of the best to the worst. This week reminds us of how wildly the show could swing between those ex...

I complained last week about the ridiculously unbelievable science in ‘The Flash’. Although this week’s episode may not rank much higher on the plausibility scale, it somehow plays better. Or perhaps I was just i...
As a rule, I cut the “science” in comic book shows a lot of slack, but the technobabble in this week’s episode of ‘The Flash’ strains disbelief even by superhero standards.
As a rule, I don’t generally pay much attention to the programming on The CW network. However, I like to keep abreast of new shows, especially sci-fi or genre shows, and I’m willing to give anything at least one shot w...
