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

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

I’m now only 3 episodes left of the original run. This. Ends. Tonight.

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”.

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.

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.

Got to the bit where Frankenstein finally fucking gets free and remembered this.

Big Fish Good Burger Duck Soup Bean: The Movie Yeah he definitely picked these before lunch

Literally this guy used to sell off-brand rolling tobacco in the pub in Swansea I worked in in 2003.

Did they stick this guy in charge?

Watching this, for the first time in many years, with the kid.

“Here’s why this is a problem for Democrats…” articles incoming probably

Mortgages will be taught as part of the history syllabus.

Mortgages will be taught as part of the history syllabus.

I mean this is clearly bollocks.

Watching this. Never heard of it til I wandered into the back room of Amazon Prime. By sheer coincidence it was shot by the recently late Adam Greenberg.

“I could smell. The onions and. The mustard.”

Oh for the confidence of the person who wrote this claiming that in the 00s the phrase “chod rig” became a household term.

While waiting for a tyre repair yesterday I learned that this Carp magazine used to have centerfolds and it was just fishing women with their trousers down.

That’s

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

This is what Connections feels like nowadays.

This is probably a stupid question but is there any way we can just start a new internet that’s not fucking shit?

Wow Mercedes have really tapped into what parents want from a car

Modern retelling of The Prince and the Pauper but it’s just one guy.

Happy Halloween from Smersh Pod! Hope you enjoyed our Halloween month of fun! If you did, please leave a review and tell your pals!

Just a deranged ornamental Santa about to garrotte Blitzen

Why did Michael Knight get fired?

I'm not going to quote tweet the AI sitcom video because fuck that. I just want to point out that we need to stop using "Lynchian fever dream" for weird stuff. David Lynch was always very specific and did emotional narratives rather than plot based ones, it's nothing like AI bullshit.

Jonathan’s got a Moe Green energy today.

This rejected Enterprise design is lush

Just in time for the 40th anniversary!

Finally having a crack at this chonky boy

Another poster promising a movie it doesn’t deliver. Looks good but it dragged for me.

Sexy does william shatner make money from the Halloween movies

Currently watching Cellar Dweller. Here’s a title and VHS cover art that absolutely is not selling the actual premise - namely: what if Penny Crayon was a goofy 80s monster movie?

This should be a legal standard
