I remember X-Files went decidedly south sometime before Mulder and Scully hired stand-ins

I have come to like, not love, the Patrick/Gish (I'm not googling that, hope I got it right) era.  Although the episodes became less memorable, The Brady Bunch episode was probably the highlight.  In the last couple, three years, Vince Gilligan was really setting up Breaking Bad in his head.  You could see its gestation.

It was just too bad that they worked so hard to close that circle on the UFO/aliens arc.  That was very much a jump the shark effort.

If I ever go back to watch this series again, I will want to watch it in its original aspect ratio. I really dislike the changes in resolution in different scenes.

Eh, nevermind...

This weekend when we set our clocks back I am going to shoot for 1969.
Are we having fun yet?

I imagine Grav is after bigger game than mere stocks and bonds.  There is a certain black cat that *must* be stopped in 1969.

Well. At least you will be a week ahead of everyone else. According to The Google we change next week

All three West Coast states have approved staying on Daylight Savings Time all year round. Just winding up the red tape 🐱

Vince Gilligan. Of course. I'd never put that together about Breaking Bad.  Which was sooo good. I'm watching Better Call Saul. It's good too but can't quite reach that level of dark magic that Breaking Bad had

Damn straight. And if possible I will arrange a sacrificial goat.

I think everyone is fed up with this time change business. It will happen everywhere soon

California is also going to start schools an hour later. Makes sense with the permanent time change. And lots of studies show students will be more productive in class starting an hour later

This is an interesting question. I mean that. Not this. This week and next week can mean different things to people. I had a rather heated argument concerning the subject last week. Not this week
