->Amanda wasn’t just off with her assumption, she was way off. The first ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' film made nearly $773 million worldwide on a reported production budget of $232 million. [[Film/TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxy2 The sequel]] did even better, with $800 million in worldwide ticket sales. It was so successful, {{ThemePark/Disneyland}} remade The ''Twilight Zone Tower of Terror'' into a ''Guardians'' ride. In a twist of irony, Amanda says she turned down 2014’s ''Guardians'' because she thought it might be a mess that would bomb. And the very next year, Amanda appeared in ''{{Film/Pan}}'', a mess that bombed. It’s really too bad that some of [[Film/MeanGirls Karen Smith’s psychic powers]] didn’t rub off on Amanda, because I think we can all agree that finding green makeup in your butt crack is a very small price to pay for a chunk of ''Guardians'' profits.

->The final shot of the CSM walking amongst the alien artefacts that are tucked away at the Pentagon is a real appetite whetter. Imagine if this really was a standalone TV movie; the untapped potential would have been ''an extraordinary waste.''...There is something a little off about the chemistry between [[Creator/GillianAnderson Anderson]] and [[Creator/DavidDuchovny Duchovny]] at some points in the first episode – his performance screams of [[TooGoodToLast trying to enjoy this for as long as it lasts]] and hers occasionally tips into ''[='=][[ClassicallyTrainedExtra what am I doing here?]][='=]'' How little they both knew that this was going to change their lives.
