Comment on Episode 9 — “Sci-Fi TV: Cancelled Too Soon” by Agent Shadow

Nah, you don’t have to wait, I’ll tell you.
I think it was a below average “monster of the week” that ran too long.
for those not familiar to the x-files, there where 2 types of episodes: monster of the week episodes (stand alones)
And “mythology” episodes which were the main storyline of the alien conspiracy/coverup.
Chris Carter’s decision to have the second movie NOT be a mythology is my second biggest tv/movie pet peave behind fox canceling firefly.
I agree with you that they should make more movies-especially it being 2012.
I have a great plot line for that movie that would be perfect… Maybe I’ll write it as we go and have it ready for our finale.
I can’t wait for you guys to do a stand alone firefly ep, also BSG (both versions) and STNG.
Hey, if you want to trade affiliate banners I’ll send you ours when I get home (I’m on the road at hotspots all day)
Oh yeah, I just thought of le femme Nikita too – very underrated espionage series.
Ok thanks for letting me babble, can’t wait for your next ep.

I wondered if it was something like the “No-Prize”, explaining retroactively what might be a plot hole. I’m sticking with the show . . .

One thing I’m curious about . . . do I have to wait until after you go through every episode to find out what you thought of the latest X-Files movie? I’ve been curious what die hard fans thought of it. As a casual fan, I liked it because it reminded me of a classic episode, and sort of hoped they’d do a few more.

Hey Ben thanks for the reply.
Yeah, our early podcasts weren’t that great but they’ve gotten a lot better I think… especially with our interview of William B Davis (CSM).
On the debunking segment – I wanted to defend the X-files when people took shots at plot holes (cuz I had some good reasons why some episodes ended the way they did) but that seemed like I would be too confrontational so I changed it to “counter intelligence” which gives inside info instead. I hope you check out our more recent episodes which include a lot of topical music and references to scripture.
Thanks again
Agent Shadow

Thanks, Agent Shadow. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.

Your podcast is pretty good itself. I’ve only listened to the first two, but the segment I find most interesting is the “debunkers” segment. Do you ever have anyone come up with something to debunk? I found myself curious after I listened to your podcast.

If any of our listeners are fans of the X-Files, you should check out Agent Shadow’s podcast.

Hey guys. I STRONGLY agree that firefly was the best show ever cancelled early.
Wow, what an amazing show and incredible characters. I was so annoyed to find out it was cancelled.
Great show guys!

Aw, man,I should have remembered Alien Nation. They were one of those that got a second chance with a series of tv movies, though.

And Brisco County, Jr. That show was on Fox the same year that X-Files started, wasn’t it? Seems I remembered the two of them talked about a lot together.

Besides the ones mentioned on the show, I also tip my hat to these canceled-too-early series:

*Alien Nation, buddy cop sci-fi. There were some TV movies to try to explore other themes, but there were many more stories that could have been told. 22 episodes.

*Nowhere Man, a man’s identity has been stolen, and a mysterious conspiracy wants him dead. 25 episodes.

*Pushing Daisies, raising the dead had never been so quirky. 22 episodes.

*Century City, lawyers in the future took on cases involving clones, AI, genetic manipulation, personality downloads, and more. 9 episodes.

With an honorable mention to The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. They did a nice job of wrapping up, but I’d have loved more.

This has the f-word at least three times. Not for kids!
