I'm not going to make this a thing but it's on Hulu and I needed to express myself somewhere and this was the most appropriate thread
One Punch Man is amazing and I can't wait for next week's episode
The x-files conspiracy stuff is actually really strong up until about season 5 when they clearly run out of story and the mythology begins devouring itself.
The standalone episodes stay strong until Mulder leaves
My wife and I were talking about X-Files and Twin Peaks revivals last night.
We decided that X-Files is probably not going to bother with the old Conspiracy (though they may drop in a line or two about why the massive alien invasion didn't happen in 2012) and will just focus on new standalone mysteries with maybe a new conspiracy peppered throughout to be addressed in the finale (if at all) or something. It just seems unlikely they'd try and catch new (and lapsed) viewers up on a twenty-year-old convoluted conspiracy. Especially since Carter himself seems way more interested in the standalone stuff and never intended the conspiracy part to get so big (and when he got a chance to do a second movie, he basically ignored all the conspiracy stuff to shoehorn Mulder and Scully back into the FBI for a standalone mystery).
Twin Peaks, however, we feel will probably fully expect you to remember everything from the original run to be able to properly follow.

I imagine they will use the lack of a 2012 invasion to make Mulder look even more like a nut. Basically make him look like a guy who set the date for the Rapture or something.
I tried to watch twin peaks to prepare for the revival.
I just...I couldn't. I couldn't do it. I loved the pilot, but it quickly became too damn weird, and I don't mean the black lodge stuff. Basically nobody seemed like an actual human being on that show.

Huh, I guess something in Master of None episode 2 resonated with me cause now I'm going to Skype my dad voluntarily
Just the start of that ep gives you so much second generation guilt
Like to think a couple of years ago I was whining about being the family's free tech support
Jeez this. I liked how positive the whole episode ended up though, I was expecting standard sitcom fair and what I got was really touching and sincere. Along with a good helping of humor. So far I'm loving this show.
I'd also recommend Aziz's relationship book as well. It's an interesting read.
Mid-term exam is everyone locked in the auditorium, and they have to use the skills they've acquired thus far to pass. That roughly translates into "Find and defuse this bomb inside the room before you all die!".

About X-files Carter is writing 3 episodes and he basically only wrote the myth arc episodes so I wouldnt write it off

Further X-Files thoughts:
The two main things that I'm really appreciating in the early going are that the show is surprisingly, subtly creepy and unsettling, which is a rarity. And the show is very well shot. There's almost no CGI, so everything has aged very well. It relies on practical effects and the power of imagination, and is infinitely stronger for it.
Oh, third thought - I genuinely appreciate how hideous and unflattering all of Scully's pantsuits were. It lends a real verisimilitude to the proceedings.

To be honest no one after the Great Depression can pull that.
So I watched like the first two or three episodes of the 2009 remake of V when it was on TV. Then I lost track of it because of real world Army stuff.
So now I'm going back to watching it, and it's pretty good in it's own way. Definitely a lot smaller scale, and in the case of fighting asymmetrically I think more realistic than the original mini series (which I also enjoyed watching with my dad growing up). That aspect in the original series and now are products of their time I think (70's and early 80's were the era of the "mountain/jungle/desert guerrilla" as the face of popular resistance, after the GWOT it's more population center based cells).
Very much enjoying Morena Baccarin as Anna.

dunno there. my dad was 8 in bombed-out Berlin when the war ended.
kind of proud of him that he never played that card other than telling stories about the fun he and his brother had being absolute rascals without any parental oversight.
in tv-related news, I fell down the rabbit hole that is The Voice. I do have issues with casting shows but fuck me if the blind auditions bit isn't my own personal emotional kryptonite. as opposed to the usual meanness that casting shows tend to lean to, everybody here is being most excellent unto each other and that just gets to me.

You also probably meant specifically white then too.

I'm in the third episode now and really enjoying it. Particularly more Mike & Ike.

This show is PRETTY GOOD.
It has its rocky moments, primarily when they lose Duchoveny, but the whole thing together I'd say is a quality product.

Oh hey I did this recently
I really like the first few seasons
The overarching plot I really didn't like though so I gave up after a bit
The ongoing plot just struck me as overly convoluted and dumb and Just didn't care at all about any ongoing narrative of the show.
Which meant I pretty much stopped watching it entirely after it went up its own butt for a couple seasons.
Well it was supposed to end at the movie but Carter freaked out once they got renewed
When he said "I'm sad." I almost peed myself.
The standalone episodes stay strong until Mulder leaves
Rob Lowe is a joy to watch and everyone plays off each other so well.
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose and Jose Chung's From Outer Space are some of the best television episodes period.

will he keep on jamesing, or be an empty husk?
Pretty good show
Not like, a revelation or anything, but not everything has to be
Also, who the hell is badmouthing Pitch Perfect? You shut your dumb face right now.
It's almost worse watching it when you already know that he's going to make exactly the wrong decision every time.

Which bums me out quite a bit. As I think it would have put Scully on a much stronger footing in the series.
