Highlights of the Week This had to be a difficult film to put together. HBO’s Boy Interrupted is the story of a young boy’s struggle with bipolar disorder and depression, leading to his suicide at 15. His mother, the filmmaker, hopes to shed light on this difficult disease with painful honesty, to expose a very […]
(Season 2, Episodes 13-17) Things continued to kind of meander along with fairly unimpressive cases, until the big two-parter that brought the “MythArc” about Mulder’s sister right back to the forefront of the series.

(Season 2, Episodes 9-12) Looks like we’ve hit the midseason doldrums a little early here in the second year of The X-Files. It’s a pretty common phenomenon that a lot of shows seem to flounder around in the middle of a 22-episode season before refinding their focus toward the end of the season. But The […]
(Season 2, Episodes 19-22) Good lord, I’m not sure if more could have happened in two episodes than we got in these final two installments of season two.
