I feel a need to talk about my two favorite things, TV and books. Yeap, no big surprises there.

Last night we finally got to '3' and 'One Breath' in the FGC re-watch of The X-Files. Unsurprisingly, 'One Breath' left us all a weepy mess. I simply can't comprehend how there is a rising generation of fannish-ly minded people who quite possibly have

As usual, I will hone right in on the thinkiest part of your brilliant, thinky post:

afterwards one of us (I name no names) may have gotten up to hug the television set and tell it how much we loved it.

Seriously, Scout just jumped two feet straight up because of how hard I laughed just then. Not at you (or, you know... whoever) but but because you (or, you know... whoever) are JUST LIKE ME, and omg, I totally want to hug my TV all the time, and then hug all the fangirls just as hard.

Also, fuck, "One Breath," man. And "Nightmare" as frosting? No wonder you (or, you know... whoever) and TV needed a hug!

hmmm, I think that might need to be an icon for all truth must be distilled into icon form.

We recognize and rejoice in it because the old stories are also our stories, our lives because time may move inexorably onward but the core of what makes us human is the same today as it was in the very beginning

Nicely said.

One Breath is...it's just...yeaaaaah. There are a bunch of XF eps that for me, their power never fades (Duane Barry still knocks me flat every time. Every time.)

It's incredible, isn't it? I first watched these episodes when they aired and I was a sophomore in high school and now, over a decade later, I'm nominally an adult and they still affect me this way.

It's really the definition of how to recognize great TV.
