Once upon a time there was young girl. Maybe fifteen years in age who turned on her TV late one night and was faced with the image of the most beautiful man she has ever seen and perhaps ever will see.
This man was Fox Mulder.
| The most beautiful face in the world. |
Well... David Duchovny but let's be real- I was in love with Mulder and David has proven to be a creepo extreme (though still soooo handsome)
I was torn for two seconds because this was a show my mother forbid us to watch when we were little just because it was too scary. I was FIFTEEN! I could decide what I wanted to watch!
So watch The X-Files I did.
My first true obsession, long before The Doctor and not so long before Buffy.
I started watching The X-Files religiously a few months after the show ended. I remember my favorite part of the week was searching my DVR to find when the next rerun episode will record.
On the weekends it was never on.
I was always depressed on the weekends.
Shortly after I would force my friends to come over after school and watch it with me. I think I watched the entire series three times in a two year period.
I should watch it again soon.
When I think of all the shows since I've been obsessed with it never felt the same as when I was in the throws of passion with The X-files. Even Doctor Who which is the love of my life.
I think it was first love- I may not have had that with an actual person yet but I'm pretty sure what I felt was real with The X-Files.
There are so many things from that show that have inspired me to be not only the writer I am today but just the person I am today.
I miss watching all the episodes for the first time- the hunger and the excitement.
To be honest the hunger was initially because I just wanted Mulder and Scully to KISS ALREADY but soon it became about their journey together and even more so Mulder's journey and finding his destiny while Scully kept him grounded and a good man.
I love love the first movie "Fight the Future" it perfectly complimented to the series and moved the mythology along in a big way.
Can't say the same about "Want to Believe".
Here we were expecting a movie to answer questions and maybe even give us hope for more--- instead we were given an extra long filler episode that would actually be one of my least favorite episodes.
Why Chris Carter why?
The only information of any weight we got was THEY ARE LIVING TOGETHER! Which is something we all were assuming anyway.
I'm now assuming (despite some recent reports) that is end to my favorite otp/ supernatural investigating FBI agents ever (sorry Olivia Dunham)
But you never know there might be more.
At least that's what I want to believe.
TOP FIVE FAVE X-FILES EPS:
Syzyngy- "Hate him wouldn't want to date him."
Arcadia- "Wanna make that honeymoon video now?"
Jose Chung's From Outerspace- "What the bleep!?"
Bad Blood- "Come on, Scully, get those little legs moving, come on."
Triangle- "Hey Scully, I love you."
P.S. Yes I noticed all my favorites are the humorous episodes. I LIKE TO LAUGH OKAY.
