<3 The X-Files. First fandom, my first fanfic that I put online, my first TV obsession.

The thing I really like about Scully, that I think is hard to find today, is that she was a competent, professional woman who questioned authority, but still knew the rules applied to her, even when she was willing to break them. So many "strong female characters" just go out and break the rules willy-nilly because they're so strong! And question authority!

(And dude, I wondered if I was the only one that slashed Skinner/Doggett just a bit...)

i was fannish about X-files, too, though I didn't realize I was. I fangirled Scully so hard it hurt. I wanted to be her.

20 years? No way!

I still love that show so freakkin' much.

That's still one of the few shows that I can put my DVDs in and enjoy as much now as when I first watched, although I have yet to watch the last season. And, yeah, Dana was awesome.

I was never a shipper (and really hated the last movie), but I loved the relationship between Mulder & Scully.

Still one of my favorite shows, though I like to pretend the last few seasons didn't happen - once Mulder left there really wasn't any point any longer.

Yeah. I basically ignore the final two seasons (except for Doggett's inclusion. I did like Doggett. Other than that, though, completely disposable).
