Richard Kendrick Wrote:I was in X-Files bliss last night. Four episodes in a row on TNT (The two episodes in the middle were "to be continued", very cool). They started at 11:00 pm. Every time I was getting ready to go to bed another one came on. The only thing that sucks about catching the X-files like this, for the first time, is that they are all out of order. I am really going to need to get all of these on DVD.

I watched the X-Files nearly from the beginning (mid first season) and yes, it would be hard to follow the main "alien" story-line if viewed out of order. There were plenty of good (sometimes better) episodes, however, that were stand-alone and had nothing to do with that plot. (My favorites are probably the werewolf episode and the "Andy Taylor"/inbreeding episode - I have rarely been as frightened as I was in that episode.) The last season or so of the series (after Mulder/Duchovny leaves the show) weren't enough to hold my attention. They weren't necessarily bad, I just didn't care anymore.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
