Why thank you. And yeah, Supernatural really isn't worth the bother.

Re the latter seasons of the X-Files and their indubitable slowly diminishing quality, for me it was a bit like the Dune novels: the concepts, the plot and the sheer amount of stuff they'd packed into it started to burden it without an obvious resolution in sight. And the resolution when it came was breathtakingly simplistic and/or nonexistent, depending on your point of view.

But I like things like that, which become absurd under the weight of contradictions and loose ends in plot and setting.
