Cass and I both had Friday off so after she'd finished work on Thursday, at 2 (I also had Thursday off), we drove off to my mum's house in Swanage. Well, not quite at 2. More like half past 3. I was trying to reload OS X on my massive wanker of a Mac and it took ages. I refused to leave until it had finished, despite Cass's continual harrassment. But it eventually did and then we were off. We took...
I lived through the infamous move of ' The X-Files ' from BBC2 to BBC1, where allegedly no two episodes were on at the same time or day ever again, and viewing figures plummeted (allegedly). So I'm intrigued to see that Defying Gravity , the already-cancelled-after-the-first-season TV show ( Firefly , anyone?), partly funded with the money from my TV licence by the BBC , is moving around in exactly...
It’s fitting that this show will premiere on Fox, since this was the network of the X-Files. Fringe has got much in common with the X-Files, yet it is different. Fringe is the latest show of wunderkind J.J. Abrams. Like most new shows, the pilot was leaked on the internet a few weeks ago. Just like [...]
Kudos to the Danny Tarkanian campaign for what is easily the funniest and most acerbic take yet on the phantom Congressional districts of Porkulus. As Jim Geraghty says, watch it while you can, because YouTube will probably pull this over copyright issues soon. Mulder and Scully figure out ...

David Duchovny got picked up by his driver while out on Melrose yesterday. Duchovny, who recently helped build a “green” home for a family in Illinois on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is said to remain optimistic about doing another X-Files film, even though the first didn’t exactly smash box office records. In a recent interview, [...]
So.... what am I going to do???? Well, just watched the X files so could try to find an ET to cut up, or something like that.... but sadly no beam of light have arrived today to take me away to be probed... sadly. Anyway, I have decided to see how many rides I can do today on the rollers and how far I can do..... if the first ride this morning is anything to go by.... the answer will be not far and...
Random Thought! My internet (and TV -- same company) was down all day yesterday, so you get this post a day later with special bonus thoughts. It's random thoughts time! Get excited! Random Thought! I've yet to try and get my girlfriend to read comics. She's read some, but always because she wanted to. Like, I [...]
NASA / ESA An ethereal "X" or boxlike structure marks the chaotic center of the edge-on galaxy NGC 4710. Click on the picture for a larger version. One of the "X-Files" that astronomers keep in their filing cabinets relates to the mysterious X shape seen at the center of some galaxies — but this particular mystery may be close to being explained. ...( read more )
One of the most popular episodes of “The X-Files” was called “Pusher”. It involved a man who could use mind control, and as one would expect, this particular criminal had some serious moral deficiencies. That episode continues to be one of the most memorable for “X-Files” fans, so the writers for “Fringe” are treading on [...]
X-FILE | 695 Mb About: I wanted to believe. But with his big-screen blowup of his great and weird television series The X-Files, Chris Carter has turned me into a reluctant skeptic. Baggy, draggy, oddly timed and strangely off the mark, The X-Files: I Want to Believe is the generally bad-news follow-up to the show s first feature-film incarnation, The X-Files. Released in 1998 and directed by Rob Bowman,...
If there's anything I've learned about television, it's that kids love the Observer. Joking! Of course, the apparently hairless and entirely freaky Observer on "Fringe" seems like a figure from a recurring nightmare. He pops up in every episode of the Fox, standing, staring, watching. What does he want? What's he looking at and why? The show has teased that mystery quite well for two seasons...
