I watched it last year, but haven't seen a single episode this year. I need to see if On demand has it.

The X Files version of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Ive had days like that minus the drones of course. At least so far.

Finally watch Rm9sbG93ZXJz and it was pretty silly. Apparently Scully enjoys her down time ah-hem. BTW why does the device always end up under the bed?

The only annoying thing was the lack of dialog. It felt awkward.

And how does Scully afford such a nice house?

PS: I'm also with Bigley Credit...

Both "Rm9sbG93ZXJz" and "The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat" have made this season worth watching. Every bit as good as the very best X-Files episodes from the first run and better than most. The show is at its strongest when they're doing a Monster of the Week story and it always bogs down when it's a conspiracy episode.

The same could be said for Supernatural too. The MOTW stories are almost always good and the over-arching mythology episodes with Lucifer and the war of heaven seem forced and go nowhere.

is season 11 over?

is csm finally dead?
if so, then that's the end of the conspiracy since all 4 main players are now dead.
(csm and his lieutenant, the opposition/fatman and his lieutenant)

Yeah that was the finale I believe.
Smoking man was shot in the head and should be dead, but they can always bring him back as a clone or something.
Didn't see skinner die. When was that?

Completely agree. I laughed during The Lost Art episode more than most comedy shows.

Skinner looked like the wicked witch of the east when the house fell on her last time we saw him. Could go either way.

Started Season 11 and so far it sucks. I tried rewatching 10 first, but just couldn't because it was bad as well. Only episode I enjoyed of it was the "monster of the week" one and it was pretty meh as far as all time X-Files episodes go.

I see there's like 2-3 non-main story episodes in season 11 so hoping they're at least some fun/suspenseful.

The main story is so fucking bad and their manner of handling it in these new seasons is extra bad. Its a complete fucking mess, and I hate how they try to build suspense. And their "shock moments" are just fucking dumb.

What the fuck, I'm watching episode 2 and Skinner just starts spouting acronyms for no real fucking reason "FSB, MSS, ISIS, blah, blah, blah". What, the, fuck?
