Woodsman said:Neil said:I was quite surprised that they brought the show back, considering how 9/11 pretty much closed the circle of mainstream media propagandistic control of everything, and Chris even presented that directly in the first episode. FOX must be getting desperate for money and they decided they had to put something a little less vapid on air to boost their bottom line. I was a bit peeved at the "there is no alien conspiracy" line taken in the first episode, but I figured it was just a plot twist like has been employed in earlier seasons to make Mulder believe that aliens don't exist and to abandon his quest; keeping the audience in suspense. I'm eagerly awaiting the 6th episode to see if FOX brought the series back just to lure more open-minded and aware people down a dark alley of the so-called disclosure agenda.
This new series seems co-opted to me. -I don't know, though. I find my Red Flags go flapping on a hair trigger when it comes to broadcast TV. There may well be more than one single influence moving through this attempt at feeding information to the public mind.
But at the moment there seems to be a bit of a push to kill popular conspiracies, to really tamp down the official weed into people's pipes.
-That Stephen King time travel, "Let's stop the JFK assassination" story has been turned into a TV series. "11.22.63"
If you've read that book, then you know that King has cleaved tightly to the official story; Oswald was nuts, worked alone and there's nothing strange to see here. -Also, Kennedy HAD to die, in order to preserve the health of the space-time continuum.
I guess it pays to be a propagandist. Merit and skill as an author does not assure success. Lots of people have merit and skill. The media picks who wins, and it seems many super-popular creative media darlings are shilling for the Beast. -Or are useful idiots who have been fed corrupted channel "inspiration".
It still burns me to think that Lucas could have done so much good with those unfortunate prequel Star Wars movies. I'm fairly certain he suffered from STS 4D attack; had his brain addled to prevent his highly politically relevant films from being well made or resonating correctly. And now the Rat owns the franchise and put J.J. Abrams, the king of media fools, in charge, with crippling results. What a cultural tragedy! Star Wars has been transformed from powerful metaphor into a meaningless daydream for sleepers.
I think the Wachowskis were similarly addled and hampered.
I can't imagine somebody like Chris Carter will have been overlooked!
Hey Woodsman, couldnt have agreed with you more. Especially regarding Lucas, wachowski's and even this new x-files season. It does seem that these once brilliant ideas with great depth and meaning, have become these tacky, visual fests. I was particually disappointed with the new star wars. Sitting through it, i kept saying in my head, they just made this to sell toys. The depth is gone. grrr. Too bad!!
