I miss the old highly specific internet quizzes for shows like The X-Files with questions like "how many times did agent Scully pull her service weapon without firing it in seasons one through three?" and then when you answer wrong its all "do you even watch the show??" those were psychotic.

That was a psychological exam. You actually passed

Mulder is a logger living and working under an assumed identity in the same place as dexter. Also there's also every other sort of miscreant there, from mob bosses to bank robbers, but mulder's too distracted hunting for bigfoot and aliens to notice all the potentially ripe arrests

The hibernate thing was such a cool premise. Them talking with the 63 detective about the older cases in 33 and I think even older cases in 1903 kinda made it this multi generation effort with long absent detectives contributing. Shockingly competent writing for early 90s network tv

Mulder looks upon the wreckage, wondering if its destruction was a good or bad thing in the overall scheme of things. Scully comforts him with the idea that, "Who knows, Mulder. If what you said is true, if you believe it, it died being hit by a truck, too. If you believe its victims are still alive on some other world as great heroes, maybe it is, too..."

that does sound exactly like something she'd say

It was an age where conspiracy theorists were harmless kooks and the conspiracies were interested in things we didn't know about but should: UFOs, Governmental spying, paranormal. Things that didn't have evidence, but people thought evidence should exist for. The basis being that mainstream media and news is a disinformation agenda covering up the evidence.

Grogquock posted:

Watching terrible season seven and Sein und Zeit and Closure are the most incoherent two-parter episodes I think I've seen yet. It's like someone's horrible JonBen�t Ramsey fanfiction. Space faeries steal/murder children before they are going to be stolen/murdered, and mind control the parents to write fake ransom notes that casts the suspicion on them so they go to prison for murdering their child? But the ransom notes reference Santa man, who didn't actually steal/murder the children the note is for, but was going to at some point maybe, and did so to a bunch of other children who weren't saved/murdered by the space faeries? Did Santa man not write bad ransom notes referencing Santa for the children he did steal/murder?

Then the child ghost appears and mouths "71" or something, which leads them to Santa man, but child wasn't actually taken by Santa man and her body wasn't there with the other children, so no typical ghost "connection." So I guess the space faeries were like, "look ghost girl, you were gonna be killed by this guy but you weren't cause we did the deed instead, but now you need to relay what highway Santa's Village is on our behalf because we are tired of this and law enforcement sucks too much to figure out there are 22 bodies in shallow graves with large burial mounds 50 feet from a tourist destination apparently so popular it appears on a printed map." This doesn't even get into the sister nonsense in part two. Sorry, her being "abducted" twice isn't the genius writing you think it is.

Exactly. Regardless of what happened in later episodes, it's the first tv show that I remember where the main characters weren't involved with each other and their attractiveness was not a plot point at all. All the other garbage on TV was sitcoms and soap operas (Melrose Place, 90210, Baywatch).
