The Shrine

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Sad and glad. Sad because I'm thinking of the show X-Files <i>used</i> to be and wish for those days. Glad because they need to finally end this show and give the fans some payoff for all the loose storylines that have been developed (and forgotten) over the years.

This season with Dogget is pretty good IMO. T-1000 plays his part really good. And that Reyes character is cool (as well as hot). BUT...the damn show needs to end. It's time.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>It's crap on a sick right now. And to make matters worse, still taking itself seriously.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I agree with S.Cody. The show should have ended when David Duchovny left (or semi-left, whatever). He plays the MAIN CHARACTER, for crissakes. My favorite part of the show was watching Mulder and Scully interact, so the new episodes don't do much for me.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The X-Files has been a real beached whale for the past three years. You can only invent so much nonsense about conspiracy theories before people start treating it that way.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>It's like they have these cool ideas (which really ARE cool BTW), but they haven't thought the storylines completely through and don't know how to resolve them. It's this fact that's the most frustrating thing. I get sick and tired of Chris Carter starting some new story angle when there are 50 other unresolved story angles that are still sitting out there. It gets frustrating to watch, as well as confusing.

This has many fans thinking that Chris Carter just makes shit up on the fly and doesn't really have an overall storyline thought out at all. Instead of finishing off all those cool storylines, he interjects the show with loads of crap episodes. This became most apparent in Seasons 7 and 8. I'm willing to give CC the benefit of the doubt...for now. He has the rest of the season to vindicate himself.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Well, the show was starting to get tired long before David left. It really could have survived him leaving if only the story follow-through and writing improved, IMO. Dogget and Reyes are cool characters...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Well, they announced the cancellation in mid-season. From past experience, I'd say it leaves them little opportunity to PROPERLY tie up all the loose ends (especially with how many of them there are in that series, and how broad the scope is).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I loved how Mulder would look at a crime scene and then say, "This was commited by a silver spoon possessed by the a woman who first owned it!" Scully would say, "You're crasy!" And in the background, you see a spoon sneak away with a knife.</div>
