X-Files, Doggett and Scully and aliens.

I ended up staying up last night, as TNT was marathonning whatever season it is that Scully and Mulder get Seperated and she is Pregnant.

I'd seen part of the episode where Mulder is Lost, now I've all of it. Still not all that impressed, although I like Scully and Skinner as a team. Doggett oddly grows on you.

The one thing I did like was the first episode where Scully realizes how fucking hard Mulder had it when he had to come up with his theories for what was going on. There's a nice dynamic there between he and Doggett. I miss Skinner, though. *sad*

And can I say that a man-sized bat is really... well, the aliens were shitty, too. I mean, people took this show seriously? It made me giggle a lot.

Not to mention the still-pretentious voiceovers.

I LOVE YOUR ICON. It makes me giggle and takes me waaaaaaay back.

And I'm not sure I can ever watch that season. I don't know why, it's just - argh!

*shrug* Well, I'd stopped watching long ago, then got interested and watched it.

Doggett truly rocked, but it's just a shame that the series had slid so far down in quality by then. The man-sized bat was supremely silly. Still, nobody gets that haunted look better than Robert Patrick - keep watch for the eps with the three-eyed dream assassin, and the embodiment of evil that crossed from host to host in the form of a burning man.

You say that like the series was all that quality to begin with...

It had its moments, but what moments there were had pretty much been sucked dry by the seventh season. Doggett was a breath of fresh air, but one that was too late, if not too little.

Sorry. I've been vastly cranky all day. *smooches* It does indeed have its moments, and like I said, the seventh season at least starts out with a nice dynamic. It makes me interested in seeing what happens next.

Oh! I watched some of that last evening and I'm sure you can guess why. Well, just the one ep and there was no man-sized bat.

Awww. Hee. (and, actually, I can't. Possibly because my brain is not very awake)

OMG WE WERE TELEPATHICALLY LINKED!!!!!!

I turned it off during the man-bat, which was too absurd and broke my sleep-deprived brain. Before that, the 'ship was loverly, as was the character development.

I never watched the show when it was on.

WE WERE!

Dude, I almost turned that episode off because fake blood squicks me, and the falling from the ceiling OMG CREEPY.

Oddly, I didn't mean effects-wise. I meant concept-wise.

At least with DW the aliens always had decent beginnings, if sometimes a little cliched. And they weren't a plot device just to keep viewers interested for another season because the star decided he was bored with the show.
