Pointless Rewind

Pointlessly Rehashing, Rewatching, Rereading, Replaying, Rewinding, and Reviewing Pop Culture

​ When I was young I wanted to be an author. This was back when I had no idea the kind of hard work and creativity that is needed for that kind of a life. Once I became more informed on the subject, I decided that a life of experiencing other people's creativity (movies, television, books, video games) is more in line with my lazy outlook on life. ​ However, I never lost my love for writing. This coupled with my ability to go on rambling diatribes on subjects that most people don't find very important made me realize that I could be a reviewer! (just not a professional one with a deadline or anything). Then I figured, I like to ramble. Let me write about literally whatever pops in my head. That is the tale of how this blog came to be. Riveting stuff.

Next up in my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder's impact in Season 1 of The X-Files, we've arrived at #14. Miracle Man is a weird episode for Mulder. On one hand, his impact on the main plot is negligible like so many…

Next up in my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files, Shadows slides its way in at #15. I always knew it was going to be in the middle of the pack seeing as it's about as milquetoast…

I’m continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we’ve arrived at #16. When I think of Ghost in the Machine, I think of pure B-movie schlock. It's got a hilariously retro synth score, painfully outdated…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #17. The Jersey Devil is a major turning point for the relationship between Mulder and Scully. It is also a prime example…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #18. This one is a doozy because Beyond the Sea is a phenomenal episode and is full of quality Mulder moments. His…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #19. When I think about Roland, Mulder is not the first thing to come to mind. Other than an interesting dream he…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #20. Fire feels like an episode where the primary goal was to broaden Mulder's characterization. We learn about his past relationships, phobias,…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #21. Shapes gets a bad rap from The X-Files fandom which I don't think is entirely deserved. It's a very moody and…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#22 – Born Again)

Posted by on in rankings, reviews, The X-Files, TV Shows9 Comments

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #22. Born Again is an absolute slog with dull side characters, poor direction, no warmth, and a paranormal plot that plagiarizes nearly…

I've re-watched The X-Files so many times but its been years since I just randomly popped in an episode and enjoyed it. I'm rigidly stubborn and have to watch things in order. Well I just had a kid and kids…
