Since everyone has asked

[gwyn]

Okay, I'm super behind on my Snowflake Challenge, but since people keep asking me--



I don't want to harsh anyone's squee but that was one steaming pile of crap TV. I don't even feel enough to review it the way I used to review things. It was just so awful in every possible way. And I wish I could squee with people about Scully returning to my TV, but I found Gillian's performance to be utterly drained of life, like she had flat affect or something, and it hurt my heart to watch. Duchovny was painful, especially in the scene with Skinner, because while Mitch was definitely trying to bring it home, Duchovny was making me cringe, especially when he said Skinner's name. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his attempt at a sneer, and it seemed like he was fighting not to laugh.

The whole thing was just painful for me. Yes, it was a huge fandom for me from the beginning, and I will watch this whole miniseries (though next time, I'm fucking drinking), just like I stuck with the show till the bitter, terrible end. I'm glad some fans enjoyed having them back, but I'm not one of them.

*hugs* It was pretty terrible, I have to agree. I was okay with it, but I can easily see how it would get you down, too. I'm hoping the episodes that Chris Carter didn't write will be better, maybe?

But really, I'm here to tell you how much I love your icon.

So what you are saying is either drink heavily or just watch the non-mytharc episodes in the box sets and forget anything ever happened after they moved from Vancouver? (Note: I should have started the latter technique last century.)

(Have not watched. May not.)

haven't watched yet; may not. but in any event I go into it knowing that it will suck, so I can't be too terribly disappointed? or something. (and we have Emma Peel because I have no XF icons.)

I found the second ep to be better than the first, but... yeah. The whole thing is just plain weird to me, idek.
