1. Here's hoping they make it good

And not some fey goth weepfest. They should keep it in the same time period. That made it creepy to me.

2. Oh, see this is why they cancelled "Angel"

:argh: They had to take off one of the most original shows on TV to make room for a tried and true retread.

3. Bowman was one of the better X-Files directors

I will have to tune into the new effort.
