The Truth...
September 29, 2015 at 10:39 am
... Is Still Out There:



At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I liked the show, but having so VERY, VERY many people think it was real instead of fiction was super annoying.

The bees pollinating the corn thing is perennially funny, BTW.

But it is totally real. It's the really real. The true-true. Tongue

Damn, Gillian Anderson just gets better with age.

Never seen X-Files (I know, shut it Tongue), is it recommended viewing?

That's what made it even more fun; pretending, just for an hour, that you're on the inside of those big conspiracies. But yeah, the ones who take it that bit too far are just idiots who see signs everywhere. Except when there are no signs, which is even further proof of whatever bee they've got in their tinfoil bonnet.

Hold on... bees in the bonnet... OMIGOSH! Shock WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

For me, apart from the fun of pretending to be "in the know", I enjoy some of the dialogue. Such as when the agents find a corpse severed in two in mysterious circumstances. Scully asks, "Well, Mulder? Should we arrest David Copperfield?" To which he replies, firmly, "Yes. Yes, we should. But not for this."

Sure. The early episodes are the best, IMO, but then it got too caught up in its own craziness.

I might be the odd man out, but I never cared for X-files.

I get turned off by shows where the skeptic is always closed-minded and wrong.

That's a good point.  I used to watch the show and I enjoyed it, but looking back it's kind of disappointing that the psychic, supernatural, alien, boogyman nonsense is always portrayed as the likely explanation.  The show probably wouldn't work if the entirety of the FBI believed in the boogyman and it was up to one agent to be the voice of reason... too much like reality i suppose.
