Excellent point. X-Files managed to do Monster-of-the-Week shit for years and remained interesting. And there are SO MANY stories and pieces of folklore and such they could have milked for episodes. I mean, they had this big, whomping pile of creative/creepy potential and they threw it out the window in favor of the same old boring Judeo-Christian crap that's already been done to death. I mean, we finally get past the hell/heaven crap and we get saddled with purgatory. YAWN.
At this point, since all of the good writers left for other stuff like True Blood and Mad Men, the writers probably ARE all ficcers. And bad ones at that.
