Re: What story lines in media you consume were abandoned by the creators?

I don't think "abandoned" is quite the term for it, but it always drove me crazy that there was almost no emotional follow-through for anything that happened in The X-Files.

Mulder would seem to have an emotional breakthrough regarding his horrible childhood and his missing sister...and then the writers would just walk it all back the next time they decided Mulder needed some angst.

And Scully was constantly suffering all sorts of horrifying violations, only to have the next episode barely even acknowledge any of the things that were done to her.

I realize that this sort of continuity fail was fairly standard for mid 90's TV, but still, it's frustrating.

I agree with this. At the time I thought it was so deep and emotional, but although I still love it, watching it back I'm like "Really Mulder? You JUST found Samantha and she turned out to be a clone and now you're never even going to mention it again?"

Yeah, I mean, The X-Files is probably my deepest fandom love to date (though not my current main fandom), and there are a ton of things I love about it. But oh boy it wasn't even in the ballpark of flawless.

I do give it a bit more of a pass on some of that stuff though, because you can chalk a lot of it up to a case of TV In The 90s. I didn't watch it when it was airing (a bit too young for that), but to my recollection, one of the things that was praised about it was how much more complex it was than most shows, and how much inter-seasonal continuity there was. Lol.
