Man, I really enjoyed 3. I thought it was the only season to feel like good television. The story felt more coherent than the other seasons, the characters generally felt better, and I liked the setting better than the other seasons.
In terms of critical consensus, they rank as so from highest average review score to lowest: Season 3 (75)>Season 4 (69)>Season 2 (65)>Season 1 (62)>Season 5 (60).

We hated it. It was so scattered and un focused and silly. The ridiculous inclusion of Stevie Nix pretty much topped off the stupid. My stars I could just bitch about that season for days. There were some good parts; Frances Conroy was amazing but everyone else was average, annoying, or infinitely repeating their stock character.
critical consensus can kiss my hairy white butt.

I thought he was early 60s at most!
I have no familiarity with the books at all but the entire show is amazingly funny.
I've only ever seen one other episode of the show and it was the Bryan Cranston one
Nope, it's a Monster of the Week episode with no connection to the larger mythology. There are a few little jokes that call back to themes/tropes in older episodes but they're minor and still amusing even if you're only passingly familiar with the X-Files.
Is Scream Queen an Adventure Time thing?
Because I'm pretty sure it's been a term used in horror cinema for longer
To give you an indication as to how long the term has been in play, the first one was Fay Wray
Really? I didn't actually know it went back that far.
I always think of Jamie Lee Curtis as the first one (for Laurie Strode in Halloween), who also kind of originated the whole Final Girl thing.
It loses something if you're not familiar with Mulder's character or some of the series in jokes but its still pretty good
it was used in the title of an Adventure Time comic book miniseries

I didn't want to have to care about Star Trek
Oh my god Mads Mikkelsen as the new captain?
Be still my beating heart (because Mads will eat it)

Mads Mikkelsen as Lt Commander Data
He was a writer for a lot of Voyager episodes. That alone should temper your enthusiasm.
That does literally nothing to my enthusiasm
If you had asked me about Star Treks like five minutes ago I strongly doubt I would have even been able to come up with the word Voyager
As I said, I do not (or did not previously perhaps) care about Star Trek
Mads Mikkelsen to be the new Q.
SHIT
a) he's credited on 20 episodes
2) he's prooooobably grown as a writer
gamma) he wasn't the showrunner then
IV) he's the showrunner now

It won't keep me from the show, but it does temper my enthusiasm. It could very well turn out amazing as the dude has done some cool stuff. He even wrote some interesting DS9 episodes. That doesn't take away his involvement with that tragedy of a series though so my expectations adjust accordingly. Its bound to be better than the new movie series though so I am fairly excited.

I found it pretty funny at first, but my body can only generate a certain amount of snark. And that amount is a small amount.

We're really enjoying it and are over halfway through, but we just hit an episode that made us realize these episodes are hella out of order (there were small things that didn't add up before, but we just chalked it up to writer miscommunication or lack of proper editing or whatever, but then this episode clearly just did not belong where it was). Fortunately we found a list online so we can watch the remainder in order.
I wonder how Netflix determines what order to put things up in? This show is up in the order that it aired on TV, but the only other show I could remember that aired out of order but is also on Netflix was Firefly, and they have it in the correct order.
Also I'm very curious if the show was pitched with the idea that they'd have James Van Der Beek, or if they just had generic celebrity jokes that they tailored to him after he was cast.

I'm pretty sure Arrested Development is out of order on Netflix-- it doesn't affect too much, but if you're a purist you would want to look up the correct order
Only thing I remember not making sense is Tobias is in jail (which they do explain why in the episode), but then a later ep has him come up with the idea to go to jail
Hmmmmm, interesting
yep.

Well don't forget he was born again in 2005
Also... I really like Spike.
