I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

X-Files


X-Files is the backbone of my understanding of solid television narrative and character development. I grew to love Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, John Doggett, and Monica Reyes from the early days of watching the first airing of the show with my mother and brother on Friday and Sunday evenings beyond my meticulous and complete re-watch of the last few years. What I could write about the most I will give only a few words. X-Files is television, is life. I can't imagine that there could exist a TV watcher who hasn't watched and loved X-Files.
