I thought JJ was on tap to do the next Trek movie, not another series.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The evil is this way?
Movie, not series.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They claim that they do not introduce any element unless they know the resolution
Like the numbers?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Every so often, there are parallels made between Lost and The X-Files -- which is funny, as it's going to end up in exactly the same situation, where the show runners and creators disappear to do a motion picture during the 3rd/4th season, which mirrors X, which is where X went off the rails as it happens.
The X-Files movie was shot between the 4th and 5th seasons. I think the point where the show "went off the rails" was when they caved to criticism of the long arc being too complicated and killed off the syndicate. This was mid season 6.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I could never figure out why I lost interest in The X-Files. I was quite obsessive about it, until season 4 time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
There was one episode that made me say "WTF?" and I was done with the show. I had to go to epguides.com to track it down, but I was really angry with the resolution to Mulder's sister's whereabouts in "Closure" (Season 7) and the show kind of lost me after that. I finished that season, but I definitely didn't finish season 8 (I think I watched to "Redrum" and bailed) and I didn't touch season 9. I did read the boards (wherever they were by that time) and the former Salon people were BITTER.

I didn't have a TV for a year after S4, and in those dark days before Bittorrent, that was enough to break me of my obsession, simply because I couldn't watch. At the time, I was not happy about it at all, but in retrospect I pretty much got out just in time. (I watched bits of S6 here and there, but it was really hard to pick up the thread again.)

Ah, "Closure" was one I picked up on VHS when it came out... I had pretty much no idea what was happening, and it wasn't, in fact, Closure - I don't think anything really got answered.
I keep saying I will rewatch from season 5 onwards from DVD, but can never quite get the urge to buy or download them.

All is well that ends in pizza.
They lost me the season after the movie. Then I came back sporadically, and saw the finale.
