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.

We're here at #11 in my Season 1 episode rankings of Mulder's impact and Young at Heart somehow ended up here. I could make a joke about how this episode figured out how to reverse the crappiness process and thus…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#12 – Gender Bender)

Posted by on in Episode Rankings, The X-Files, TV ShowsLeave a comment

Gender Bender comes in at #12 in my Season 1 episode rankings of Mulder's impact and I'm always left bewildered at how strange it is. Nothing about the actual story or plot engages me, the pacing is hit or miss,…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#14 – Miracle Man)

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…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#16 – Ghost in the Machine)

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 It's got a hilariously retro synth score, painfully outdated…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 #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…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#20 – Fire)

Posted by on in Episode Rankings, reviews, The X-Files5 Comments

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,…
