Season Premier
OK, so I worked this truly amazingly trite Oktoberfest celebration today, and whilst priming my Bratwurst, I eavesdropped on the following conversation...

"So, did you watch "The X-Files" last night??"

"Yeah, but I wish I hadn't, they leave so much shit up in the air."

"Who was that big guy, anyway, the one that got stuck in the neck and lived??...gives me the creeps, he looks too much like AAAHHHHH-NOOOLD"

"I liked that blond chick there at the end...I think Mulder is gonna get lucky yet"

"Mulder?...SCULLY is the one who's gonna get lucky, that Science guy is the same guy that slobbered over her last year...and she took her jacket off and practically shook her boobs in his face (falsetto)'look at my arm'..here, Scully, look at this"

"I think Cancer Man is doin' Mulder's mom"

"Whaaat??"

"He was holdin' her hand when that other creep came in"

"Oh, man, and that black guy!! Cool death!!"

"Yeah, but how'd he write so good with blood...christ, *I* don't write that good with a pen"

"I didn't get the bees, either"

"Me, neither...and why did Mulder want to take that little chick home with him, when he knew she wasn't Samantha?"

"Mulder's an ass hole"

"My wife almost shit when he cried there and Scully hugged him"

"She shoulda just said 'are you ok?' like he did to her when she had that thing in her neck..I hate this show"

pretty cool, huh??

Then Jake writes:

What I wanted to say was that this dialogue totally encapsulates everything about the show that we love and love to hate. The ambiguity, the false (or not) trails, speculation about relationships (or not), the death of major characters, stuff they throw in that seems like it should be important but which we cannot make fit until the season ender or sweeps week (or perhaps they don't mention it again until season 5), 'shipper moments, etc. etc. etc.
VERY well done. You are an artist. That's why we love yo so.
