Encounters with the Unexplained (2000)
I missed it..
for the most part. I caught it one or two nights by mistake but liked what I watched. Unfortunately it must have been right before it got axed so I guess I'll never see this on DVD. Be nice if at least the SCIFI Channel could run them some time. They run every other goofy thing. Wonder if I emailed them if they could do it. I don't even know what network it was on. If anybody knows put a comment or reply here. I never requested a network to run a show before so I could use some advice. Might be some legal issues, who knows. That's what I get for going to bed early. Plus I would like to see Jerry Orbach again narrating these shows. That in itself would be worth it. He is surely missed.
The X Files: Nothing Important Happened Today (2001)
Nothing Important Happened this Season
With Mulder gone Dogget and Reyes get more time than Scully but they do dig into the super soldier theory (new story arc?). Also some answers about Scully's baby but other than that not much happened. We knew Mulder would be back for the Shows finale but couldn't they have done a better job of wrapping things up? With at least 2 episodes wasted that I can think of with the one about the Brady Bunch House and that episode with Burt Reynolds that they could have been giving answers to and having the finale go another way. Grrrr! I don't know why I keep watching reruns on TNT and SCIFI. Some people liked those episodes and maybe if it wasn't for the fact that the show WAS GOING OFF THE AIR FOR GOOD those episodes would have been OK. I did like some of the monster of the week ones and Doggets back story. I hope they do a movie someday and maybe show Mulder & Scully together living in a rural community and having visits with the kid (as some relatives but not as parents since he's older now and used to his new parents). Then they can be called on some XFILE after Mulder's trial is found to be an unlawful kangaroo court and charges dismissed. They could get proof finally that there are Aliens and bring back the head of a super soldier to the NY Times. Something pleeease.
Threshold (2005)
Similar to X-Files
I believe I read in the paper that people who liked the X-Files would like this show. As for being similar to other story lines the X-Files did a lot of that too. Some episodes where similar to movies like "The Thing", and "The Colony" (staring John Ritter) just to name a couple off the top of my head but there were a few others. So I would expect this show will borrow from shows in the past also. Hopefully it will be good so there is something decent to watch on a Friday night. (My days of going out late are over since I moved from the city). Also looking forward to Ghost Whisperer tonight. Hope it's better than Medium which I like but think it's too slow with all the family stuff woven in the plots.
