I thought the same, but upon rewatching Dark Skies recently, I figured out that i was young and stupid when I graded the bugger.
The best word for this show is "Constipated"
Their Producers were so amazed and content with their plot, that they had no idea or drive to deliver a new fix each week.
Another word is "sanctimonious".
Mulder becomes a man in black in the 60s.
But all he does is bitch.
These Men in Black seem to be even less mysterious than the Chief from Get Smart.
"Sigh"
Not even Jeri Ryan with a Russian accent killing people, could save this clusterfuck.
They didn't really get half into the notion of what the60s were that Mad men has.
Womanizing, high functioning alcoholism and smoking.
That's all that really happened, which dark Skies avoids talking about.
