alexiscartwheelAnyone else excited for the new X-Files movie? Cause I sure am!
I was a huge X-Files fan back in the day. When I started watching, my mom wouldn't let me stay up late enough to watch, so I taped the episodes to watch on Mondays. They were all fuzzy because we had terrible reception without cable, but I enjoyed them just the same. I even managed to convert my vehemently anti-Sci-Fi sister to it. The show also led to my first foray into online fandom. There were fan communities aplenty back in the late 90s, though the sites and forums I used to frequent are long gone now. (If it hadn't been for The X-Files fandom, who knows if I'd have made it to The Sugar Quill and met some of my LJ friends! X-Files fandom even prepared me for ship wars.)
The new movie is non-conspiracy related, which is a very good thing, in my opinion. The conspiracy was plenty convoluted when the show was still on, and I certainly don't remember all the details now that the show has been off air for years. Most of my favorite episodes were "monster-of-the-week" eps. Talking about it kinda makes me want to dig out one of my videos and watch one!
I read an article about the new movie in USA Today, and they have a picture of Mulder and Scully along with it. No one is wearing a suit! Scully isn't wearing black! And has long hair! Craziness! Heh. I can't wait for more Mulder and Scully. The mysteries and alien conspiracies are cool, but the interaction between Mulder and Scully always drove the show. I can't wait to see my favorite alien hunting FBI team on screen again!
So who wants to go to a movie in July?
