I love The X-Files now. Since winter break began, I was looking for stuff to do and came across the series again on Netflix. So I had watched some of season 1 before and knew what it was about, but had forgotten about it. Now I'm really glad I gave it another chance.
Mulder and Scully are such intriguing characters. First, you have Special Agent Fox Mulder: he's this guy whose younger sister got abducted when he was a kid, and is left traumatized and searching for answers on her whereabouts. He wants to believe in the unknown. Then, you have Special Agent Dana Scully: she's assigned to Mulder to debunk his assignments, and guide him in the right direction. She's mostly a firm skeptic in the paranormal. Mulder and Scully are opposites. Therefore, it's fun watching them interact and bud-heads and stuff. They also keep each other afloat mentally in this way, too. I love them...
Also, can I just say--I'm glad Scully is the height she is. Gillian Anderson is 5'3". In the show, this is barely brought up. Despite her small frame, she's highly respected in the government. She's so respected and thought of as level headed too, that she's assigned to "Spooky" Mulder. I'm 5'4". Personally, I always feel like I'm always being looked down on, not respected, and mistaken for being someone younger than my actual age. So seeing Scully save Mulder when he's in trouble, or having these tall, kind of scary government looking men shut up and respect her input, and actually listen to her means a lot to me. Have you seen her run in heels, by the way?! She's amazing.
It's a little funny though, because despite all that, Mulder's actually my most favorite. But anyway...
I'm pretty envious of the people who got to experience this show when it was airing in the 1990s. You had to live in suspense each week wondering what would happen next. Now, I can just binge-watch it in its entirety. Still fun, but not the same thing. Sometimes I really do wish more often than not that I was born in the early '80s or something like that. That way I could have been having fun int the 1990s as a teen. There was never the issue of social media addiction. Many more people went outside and rode bikes, and there were probably less basement dwellers as a result. I likely wouldn't be as socially impaired, because I wouldn't have YouTube and Tumblr to hide behind. You had great shows airing (Hello, '90s Cartoon Network?). I remember going to Blockbuster when I was a little kid in the early 2000s; that would be cool if it were still a popular thing. All things evolve and change, though. That's just how it is. I'd still be here experiencing the wrath of President Orange Cheeto man, sooner or later, And there were certainly many cons to living in 1990. I am grateful to be born in 1998, but it is something I still think about.
Oh, one last thing:
...You're welcome. ;D
