Almost everything after Season Five got so convuluted and ridiculous (Aliens wrote the freaking Bible?) that it was really hard to care about the show anymore. Occassionally you would get a good "Weird Creature" of the week type story, but for the most part it was all downhill.<BR/><BR/>I think taking this long of a break before attempting to do another film was a brilliant idea, and hopefully Carter and company have come up with a story that is worth the wait; I have faith. The only problem is how many people think like me? The first film did fairly well at the box office, but was definitely not the goldmine they thought it would be. <BR/><BR/>It could be the suprise hit of next Summer and lead to a post-television film franchise (ala Star Trek), or it could be a big dud that everyone will forget two days later. Here's hoping for the former.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-24641027277807265312007-12-06T10:49:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:49:00.000-05:00I am grateful for more new TV episodes for at leas...I am grateful for more new TV episodes for at least tonight - you never mention it but also all new tonight is "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" on USA.<BR/><BR/>It's the only 1 of the 3 L&O series my wife and I actually watch. You couldn't PAY ME to watch Mariska Hargitay, the worst actress around, on SVU. <BR/><BR/>But there appears to be a beacon of light in this horrible writer's strike and apparently there are now 2 good days of negotiations - giving me hope this thing will be resolved this month so that we can have real TV around in 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
