My son and I own the first seven seasons of The X-Files on DVD and I've been watching the show since it started in 1993. It has since become my favorite show second only to Star Trek. After this many years I really should know better than to eat while watching this show. Well, really it is a crap shoot (so to speak). While one episode can be dealing with something as mundane as a UFO sighting, another one features a grotesque "Fluke-Man" crawling into the sewage under the seat of an outdoor toilet. Yummy.
Obviously I think it's a wonderful show filled with intelligent writing and interesting characters. I just need to remember to treat watching it like swimming - wait an hour after eating.
Everytime I have to use a portable toilet, I can't help but think of the "Fluke Man" episode. Needless to say, I don't spend anymore time in there than is absolutely necessary.
ReplyDeleteJust what we needed - one more reason to hate portable toilets.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of you. I love the X-fles and it and uphold it higher than Star Trek. I miss that show and was disappointed in the last X-files movie.
ReplyDeleteYes. The last movie could have been better (story wise), although I did enjoy the new interplay between Mulder and Skully. It was nice to see how their relationship had evolved.
