I have to say I'm proud. Not only did I watch every single episode of the show, but I also filled in the two movies in their correct places in the story line. For those of you keeping track at home, that's 150.75 hours spent staring into my computer screen while life passed me by (to be fair, though, most of this took place between the hours of 12 and 5 AM while the rest of the world slept).
Although I spent seasons 8 & 9 hating Chris Carter and David Duchovny for what they were doing to the show, the series finale made those agonizing seasons worth it, and ultimately, Agents Doggett and Reyes added some missing element to the show. If I could make one wish for anything right now, it would probably be for one more movie to tie up the loose ends, have Mulder and Scully see William again, and put the alien colonization plans to death once and for all. To quote Mulder's closing line from the series, "maybe there's hope."
Until then, I will continue to obsess about the show, probably start watching it from the beginning again, and enjoy the theme music whenever my cell phone rings (yes, this is my ring tone).
Hopefully the next goal I cross off my list will make me seem like less of a nerd! At least, thats what
I want to believe! :)
YES!! This is exactly how I felt when I finished. Well...it's still how I feel. I started watching the series over again just so I could keep seeing Mulder and Scully together. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another movie.
