A form of torture

I sure hope it's not all this laborious and boring...

How many more of these do we have left?

Strike two. Still baffled/frustrated/disappointed by the writing and dialogue with this storyline. Moments of seeming brilliance/interest/intrigue immediately get undercut and undone. Strange.

Part One: Alison, Part Two: Alison. Wait, what? Which Ben is more believable? The scumbag second one's the one for me. Ready to be done with him and this storyline. Watching this on my computer with the NFL playoffs in the background and I see Ben on the commercials, He's haunting me there too. Th

Alison & Ben: "Okay. Let's go with that." Ben: the worst character on the show. Cole running away because all the good storylines have moved west.

So, we're just gonna leave last episode's cliffhanger unresolved? Not a particularly bad episode, but hard to get invested. Mediocre story. One good kill. But nothing else worthwhile. I mean, I guess they wrap up Skinner's story, but did we need it?

Someone take the keys away from Carter. He's lost it. I mean, he gives us Muder on mushrooms and some awesome images, but it's very much hot garbage. Eww. The Lumineers?!

Lost a star because of the Leafs

Jokes at the expense of Philidelphia, especially the 76ers? Nice. Ripping limb from limb and throwing them in the garbage? Nice. Referencing Seinfeld. Super nice. Making Scully irrational, retconning a fourth Scully sibling, killing off her mother and attempting to tie it all together with William a

God, I hate it when Carter does these hokey scripts. Even worse with the numerical hokum. Worse still it's a Reyes-led episode. Sure it's cheeky, entertainingly presented and has Burt, but it's just so annoying and self-satisfied with its self-prophesizing numerology nonsense that it makes my skin c

Boy, this season sucks. These cult bozos dumb af. Dude deserved to get his head blown away. Another garbage episode. LOL at that final shot. Like, oh, the unnamed bad guy is an alien? You don't say...

We all know House Bolton's sigil is the Flayed Man, so it's obviously one of them. Or, you know, the grumpy ass local detective/sheriff that continuously shrugs everything off. Reyes episodes suck. The gore, especially when we find all skin, is wicked though. "You always fail."

"Tell me who I am!" "Why would you want to remember?" "Why would you want to struggle so long and so hard to get that pain back?" Vinnie Gilligan with a garbage episode.

The resounding lack of ceremony or reason when Dany goes off the deep end after hearing the bells. She could've easily done a flyby over the Red Keep, spotted Cersei and fried her, The Mountain and Qyburn in one shot. That she was able to destroy all of the scorpions and the Iron Fleet without a s

"I'm sorry, Agent Reyes. I don't see it." "I think you do. You're just afraid to go there. "Whew. Man, you just keep shooting 'till you hit something, don't you?" So, cool the gang's all back and their start was really nice. Until they sideline Scully and bring in awful Agent Reyes again. She pisse

Incoherent justice from beyond the grave. Super weird, unnecessarily disturbing and just plain messy. Though it was nice to see Scully explain to Doggett that you have to accept the unexplained and move on...

Maybe a little less Kathy Griffin would help this woefully low-rated episode. Even a strong outing from Scully/Anderson couldn't save this almost unwatchable mess. As bad as they get? Quite possibly.

The whole thing is a humiliation. Even us for watching it. Feels like they threw Spenny a bone with this one.

Oh, no. Southern incestuous religious zealots that worship snakes. Did have a good joke from Mulder about how he knew some Catholic schoolgirls who played with 'snakes.' Laughable final scene too, lol.

Vince Gilligan with some garbage. Shitty lead character, decent enough monster look, but super weak story and almost no Mulder or Scully. WTF?

Shitty episode, but at least Mulder got his "I Want To Believe" poster back.

"Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. I know already. I'll pay for it." Tired and tedious. Get me out of this hell.

I'm watching you Though only in the background now, because this one is a snoozer. Failed atmosphere. Too much angry young blind girl. Not enough Scully. Swing and a miss.
