I was going to say I didn't remember them looking like the same person, but I haven't seen Buffy in a while.

In other Buffy-related news, I went to see Spotlight last night and spent the whole film convinced that Rachel McAdams was actually Emma Caulfield.

New X-Files episode 2 is incrementally better than episode 1 which is to say that it is still terrible and often embarrassing telly viewing. Something started to irritate me about Mulder's voice today and a scene where he had rerecorded his voice over the original. Maybe it was due to background noise or something that he had to rerecord his speaking part, but his voice throughout is a little off putting.

But this time I could not help but compare the acting to be on part with Days of our Lives or a straight to TV movie made by SyFy, like Sharknado vs Hipposaurus or some shit. Whatever the level of acting ability on display it sure is painful to watch.

Not been very impressed by it so far though, yes, episode 2 was a slight improvement on episode 1.
According to the Guardian (who reviewed the first 3 episodes), episode 3 is "one of the best The X-Files has ever done." ( http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio ... w-episodes ).

Got it on the hard drive to watch tomorrow. It had better be a vast improvement on the previous episodes though or I doubt I'll bother with the rest of the series, despite "nostalgia" and Gillian Anderson still being pretty foxy etc...

I've just watched episode 3 as well and IT WAS MUTHAHUFFIN BRILLIANT!

I laughed a fair few times; the jokes, the costume, the telling of the story, Scully's look when she picked up the dog and her boobage. Dayyum, that boobage. She's so good at acting too. So very good. I bet she could do comedy. I'd love to see her in a comedy like Jennifer Aniston in Bad Bosses. Just cause... Anyway, whatshisface was a little better which is to say that he's really not that great. Seriously though, wearing all leather, swearing and being overtly sexual, that'd be so, funny? Yeah, funny. And maybe topless. Ok, ok, not topless but in a nice bra. And stockings. God I'm so lonely.

Anyhoo, why didn't they ditch episodes 1 & 2 and just start with this? It was ace.

If you want to see her act take a look at The Fall.

Having watched the second episode of Lucifer, the format really is holding it back imo. There is a great deal to like about it, but I think I am going to have to check out if it is just about solving a murder every week.

Watched this last night and I agree with you on the promise. but its a bit weak so far.

Started watching the Magicians last night, enjoying it so far. You would be forgiven for thinking Harry Potter rip off but its quiet good.

Watched the second one too, although for me rather than the format I'm starting to think that it's his whole shtick that might get a bit tiresome.

See, I kinda reluctantly disagree. In the first episode at least, she looks like her skin is stretched too tightly across her face. She's still a good looking woman, don't get me wrong, but she's not really doing it for me any more

Gillian still looks delightful.

I did give up after episode 1 though, and went back to watching series 2.

Ep 9 of The Expanse and it continues to be aces.

Good Wife is still brilliant - it was always good, but it took a massive upturn after

Because the script improves, or is that just because of the boobies?

Both. Episode 3 is one of the finest that the X Files had ever done.
