X-Files 2

Huh. So disappointed with the first one - I still think it should have been like one of their standalone episodes as opposed to one of their mythology episodes. Instead of scaring the pants off of us, we got a story about bees.

But, I'm sure I'll go watch it no matter what. Come on - it's Mulder and Scully!

Unrelated, but sci fi question: Did anyone watch Children of Dune? Was it any good? Should I catch it one of the next 50 times SciFi airs it?

Season four for me was strongest and is the most recent I've seen.

Just keeps getting better. :)

But then maybe that's just my point of view.

No, I agree. The show really lost its edge somewhere along the way. The scare factor became less and less as time went on.

Fortunately for Stargate it's more of an ensemble cast so they have more characters to work with & more potential stories. Also they aren't limited to one basic type of story week after week. X-Files needed to come up with some unexplained something or other that Mulder & Scully needed to investigate that hopefully would creep out the audience in the process. It's got to be hard thinking up so many stories like that. Stargate doesn't need to go for the consistent scare. Or consistent anything, for that matter. :)

Yeah, I totally agree with what you said about The X-Files. To me the last seasons just are one big blur whereas episodes like Ice, Duane Barry and numerous other ones are etched in my memory. It's a shame really.
