I still don't know if I'm going to watch X-Files or not. I loved the show when it was on, but the ending (not to mention the last few seasons) was so completely unsatisfying that I never bothered seeing I Want to Believe (which was apparently a good choice.)

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think the problem with I Want to Believe was that it was a Millennium story instead of an X-Files story. Black would've fit in so much better than Mulder and Scully.

First Supergirl, now iZombie? What is with shows teasing major changes in character dynamics and then immediately backtracking on them?

I'm not mad at iZombie. I would like for Babineaux to figure out that Liv takes on the characteristics of the victims. Kinda seems like a detective would have put that together by now.

Yes! If he accepts the idea that she is psychic, he could think she is identifying with the victims on a psychic level, and it would make more sense that he would still be willing to work with her after she says really racist things, for example.

Caught up on The Expanse. Liking it, very compelling. I guess I will have to read the books now.

I'm loving The Expanse too. They've rearranged the plot in some big ways, which I think was a good call because they're not locked into a book-per-season cadence. (And because it let them bring Avasalara into the first season, and SHE IS MY FAVORITE. Sadly, because this is not HBO, she doesn't swear as much as she does in the books but she is still my favorite.)
I'm impressed/relieved that they haven't rewritten Holden into the classic TV bad-boy-hero type - it would have been really easy to change him into a character who makes good choices and doesn't fuck everything up all the time, and I'm glad they didn't.
