X files Promo!



Watching the promo my reaction was WHAT? For those of you who haven't seen it SPOILERS ARE COMING!

So we open with Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) as she receives a phone call from Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) to say he's here (did he have to phone, I mean she was right there). Then we're treated to mysterious clips, a plane with a freaky colour change, and cameras are everywhere. It seems as though the government is spying on everyone, they never learn do they?

Then we see the return of Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) who tells Mulder to do something about the danger he's found himself in. Is it just me or does it look like the FBI have put Skinner in the basement? If this is the case it may mean he is now head of the X-files, I know most of you are going to say they were destroyed but come on, they have been shut down before.

Also it seem that in true X-files fashion it seems Mulder is looking for the conspiracy and Scully is looking at things rationally. I enjoy this dynamic as they balance each other out, I know others don't and think Scully has seen too much to stay rational but her entire reason for being there is to bring the science to the conspiracy.

We then see a clip of what could be the big bad of the season, a bunch of soldiers and a man in a bowler hat out in some site. Although I think this could possibly be a flashback, maybe to area 51 or some other alien crash landing site. Then the reveal that made me gasp, The Smoking Man (William B. Davis) is back from the grave. 

Didn't he get blown up a while back? Wasn't he in a wheelchair with a oxygen tank when this happened? How could he survive? Even if he did survive wasn't he dying of cancer anyway? Oh maybe he's a clone!

I have so many questions, but I guess I'll just have to wait until January to find out. Check out the trailer below.

*****Amendment - I actually only seen the second part of the trailer this morning, when I searched in youtube I was given the trailer below. Looks like Skinner was in the basement but only because Mulder was there, he wasn't sent there by the FBI, damn I feel stupid!*****

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

                                                                                                      Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affected by them than someone who has not, as they also cause depression and despair in there victims. They can sense and taste fear, but thankfully they can't seem to tell people of the same build from each other, and they are able to communicate wit

Jessica Jones Episodes 1-2

                                                                          [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] Jessica Jones launched this Friday and after a weekend of mostly binge watching I decided it was time to talk about it. I really enjoyed this show and will be giving my opinion on the first two episodes below. SPOILER warning for those who haven't watch any of these episodes as I will be analysing each episode. A.K.A Ladies Night                                                                           [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] So in the first episode Jessica (Krysten Ritter) is a loner, she stays from people as they just cause complications. We get a sense that she has done something, something dark, but we don't quite know what it could be. The day starts with an argument with a client who she throws through her door, she then narrates her typical New York day, and she ends it by spying on Luke Cage (Mike Colter). She wakes up in her apartment to find Malcolm

Thanksgiving

                                                                                      [Courtesy of Fox] So I'm Scottish and we don't get the whole Thanksgiving thing, but I have watched a lot of movies and television which give the rest of the world a nice little insight into this holiday. So you have time off work, you're not taking part in those crazy sales (which have also became a tradition over here, thanks), and you're stuffed from eating your weight in delicious foods. What do you watch? Harry Potter                                                                  [Courtesy of Warner Bros] So I don't know about you but nothing screams November more than our beloved Harry Potter, and there are eight movies for you to binge watch throughout the weekend. I just rewatched these and they hold up, you'll feel the magic, panic and feel relieved as the battle comes to a close. Witness Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), a poor orphan boy who lives in a cu
