Call me Mrs. Spooky
This is unusual, you see.
I started watching The X-Files in 1995, during the summer between seasons 2 and 3. I caught a rerun of “Die Hand Die Verletzt”, and it scared the holy crap out of me. It was awesome. I caught as many reruns as I could, then dove headfirst into season 3. I watched regularly through season 5, and because I was living in Germany during season 6, I watched those eps as a friend sent me videotapes. Unfortunately, season 7 started to lose me, and by the time 8 rolled around, I’d given up.
Like many fans, I watched the show not for the convoluted mythology or the monsters-of-the-week, but for the interaction between Mulder and Scully. When David Duchovny left for (theoretically) greener pastures, I lost interest. Not that Doggett wasn’t a good character (I refuse to say anything about Reyes), but… the show had lost the witty interaction, the tension that Mulder and Scully brought to the screen.
Years went by, rumors of a second film floating around the dark corners of the internet… and suddenly they weren’t rumors anymore.
Cue me doing an ecstatic fangirl dance. And spending way too much money on X-Files seasons on DVD from Amazon. Hey, I can’t keep watching old videotapes forever, can I? ;)
After helter skelter watching, I’ve settled down into a serious rewatch of seasons 1 through 6 (with Mulder/Scully shippery highlights in seasons 7 and 9, heh). If you’re curious, you can check out my rewatch commentary here.
The new movie is coming out in July, and I’m trying to stay as spoiler-free as possible, though the urge to run out and look for new pictures is sometimes overwhelming. It’s so exciting, to have a reunion looming on the horizon. Here’s hoping the movie is as awesome as, say, season 5.
