The X-Files: What It Has Meant to Me, What It Has Meant to TV
The X-Files meant so much to me as a kid. I was constantly changing schools and pop culture became my constant. This show became a constant.

There’s this narrative about The 100. It goes like this: The 100 started out as so CW (frustratingly, still a diss, despite The CW’s proven awesomeness) before eventually finding its footing as a TV show near the end of Season 1 and really coming into its own in Season 2. A similar perspective forms the foundation for a great article published on io9 (a… Read more »
