So "Supernatural" has been on a break the last couple weeks (it's finally back!), so I decided I needed something else to obsess on. Before I got into "Supernatural", I was watching "The X-Files", but left it behind when I discovered the Winchester boys. I was on season 1 and had no time for it. So I decided to get back into it, and now am on season 3. I may or may not have watched 8 episodes in one day. Thanks Netflix. Here are my current observations about the show.
1) I'm 20 years too late. This show was made in 1993. I was 3. Basically my parents were the age I am now when this show was on. Which is kinda weird. It obviously is outdated in a lot of regards. (The cell phones and computers LOL) But it still is super relevant. The fact that these issues were being raised 20 years ago is awesome to me as someone so interested in the possibility of these things. A lot of the same themes and issues are in the more modern day shows I watch and love, such as "Supernatural" and "Fringe" so I do think it was a pioneer of its' time. I'm also quite sure that if I were watching this when it was first on, I would have a crush on Mulder. But knowing he is older than my dad in real life now really ruins it. And my mom told me he is a sex addict. Is that true? #liferuined
2) I ship the heck out of Mulder and Scully. I don't want it ruined for me- as in spoilers (20 years later and I'm asking for no spoilers haha)- but I want them to date. I hope they do. The sexual tension is real. Seriously, if the internet was then what it is today, there would be tumblr posts and fan fic about them no doubt. What would their shit name be? Mully?
3) Why is Scully so freakin skeptical? STILL? I honestly want to kick her sometimes. After ALL she has seen, the fact that she still always wants scientific evidence drives me nuts. I am much more like Mulder. (If anyone wants to remake the show, I will gladly be a female Mulder) If I were Scully, I wouldn't keep questioning everything. What more evidence do you need, girl?!
4) The fact that the government has so much control over the information and that that could literally happen/be happening freaks me out. I have absolutely no doubt there is stuff they keep from us, but to what level? I do believe in other life, but I'm really hesitant to believe they're little green men. I've said it before & I'll say it again, C-H-I-C-K-E-N, I like Chiiiiiiiiiicken (Remember when the mom sang that on Pepper Ann? I should blog at 4 am) Where I was going with this is, I think "aliens" look like us. Which would be so much easier to hide from us, too.
Also, the creepy mountain office where they stored super detailed files of abductees is disturbing. What if they did that with everybody? We wouldn't know. They could have all our info and DNA samples saved and we would really never know.
5) I'm not sure if I trust Skinner at this point. But the guy that chain smokes really grinds my gears (Family Guy, anyone?) And I seriously smell smoke every time I see him with a cigarette. It's psychological obviously, but I really hate the smell of cigarettes. Disgusting. SPOILER (if 20 years later still counts) And that Mulder's dad was in on the experiments and CHOSE Samantha to get abducted makes me SO mad. How do you do that to your kid? I hope she's still alive. The episode where they pretended to be her also made me mad. Mulder devoted his whole LIFE to finding the truth and the whole time his dad knew and was semi-responsible. How would neither of his parents told him by now?
I know this show is probably too old for a lot of people my age and younger, but I cannot stop watching. It gives me so much to think about and that's something I really like it a show. Plus, I think it is cool to see their theories and take on things of this nature from 20 years ago. Also, this means you can probably expect a lot of posts inspired by things I've seen in the show.
