Movies and TV The X-Files

I probably would have enjoyed The X-Files, but it was a rare sore point in our household.

One Christmas Eve, soon after we brought the TV back into the house, my sister and I were itching to open some presents early. Only my dad was glued to some apparently spellbinding episode of The X-Files. My mom already wasn't enamored of the TV, which was supposed to only be there to use with the Commodore 64 for educational purposes in the first place, so there was a bit of a row about dad watching shitty brain-rotting TV when we were supposed to be having family time on Christmas Eve.

By the time I'd heard how great the show was, and had my own TV in college, the show was already on its way out the door.

Some day, maybe I'll get a chance to revisit it. Heaven knows I like Vince Gilligan's subsequent stuff, and the premise is solid enough it carried me through the entire run of Fringe.

BTW - Gillian Anderson is hotter than ever. She was recently on Top Gear and it was an eye-opener how petite she is, especially compared to the hulking Clarkson.
