The premise of the article - as stated - is clearly ridiculous, since there are widely popular genres (Eg, soap operas) in which it is widely known and accepted that the plot will go on forever without coming to a satisfactory resolution

I would argue that soap operas aren't a wildly popular genre. Tbh, there's a rather dated form of television which is probably why there are only 4 daytime soaps still on tv here in the U.S, and their ratings are garbage even by daytime tv standards. And when you're making a show that is supposed to air new episodes 260 times a year indefinitely, there's no way anyone's gonna make a show bible for that.

The X-Files wasn't Carter's only show. There was Millennium and Harsh Realm, too, and he was making them up as he went along. I liked it but Millennium was a mess and Harsh Realm got canceled after something like 9 episodes. He doesn't have a good track record with tv writing. Amazon was smart to nope out of that deal considering how "Make It Up As I Go Along" didn't work out so well for The X-Files.

Too bad because I loved The After's pilot.

Daytime television and prime time television are two very, very different things - as anyone who'd watched it would know.
