I had an odd dream last night in which I discovered an episode of The X-Files where Mulder and Krycek had sex. It felt very real at the time, and I was quite disappointed to wake up and realize that it probably didn't exist. ;) This is all really quite strange, given that I haven't been a big X-Files fan for years, and was never really hardcore into X-Files fic although I always felt a certain fondness towards that pairing.

Anyway. I just felt I should share that. ;) It was a pretty sweet dream, realy. Suddenly I kinda want to go watch some old school X-Files and relive being 12 years old and obsessed.. good times. :)

Scully getting abducted was a major over-arching plot and a huge character developer. It was dealt with in the 'good' seasons. Mulder was abducted when he left the show, I think. After that it was Scully on her own for a while, and then Doggit and that other one were introduced. Something like that.

Oh yeah, maybe... somewhere in like s7 or 8 or something. Then somewhere around there Scully had his child and the aliens wanted it or something, and that's about when I stopped watching. ^^ And I never got into Doggett and Reyes, though they're reasonably popular I suppose. I always preferred the old school show, though, when it was just Mulder and Scully. The last 2 seasons were pretty different, from what I hear, and while I think at least s9 is halfway decent, it never really held any appeal to me. I'd like to rewatch parts of the old eps, though - I saw part of the 2-parter that takes place in Russia in s4 or something, with Mulder and Krycek and the black oil and stuff, pretty recently. I think that's when Krycek gets his arm cut off, too. Could be wrong, though. I think, though, that those are the eps with the infamously slashy "Mulder handcuffs Krycek to a balcony" scene. ^^;;; Good times.

*iz nostalgic now* I seem to recall that Krycek dying was the last straw for me, and I gave up on the show after that. By that time, as I recall, Mulder was gone, the CSM was dead, and frankly I just couldn't give a crap anymore. Then I hear they killed the Lone Gunmen in s9 or something. Not. Amused. *sigh*

Something like that. My understanding of The X-Files is very fragmented. I didn't begin watching it from the beginning, and when I did follow the new episodes, I also watched syndicated reruns of older episodes on other channels.

Yeah, I remember the black oil too. Never really understood it, though. ;p

Yeah, the Lone Gunmen died. Honestly - I thought you watched the last season or two?

Me too. I remember you and Sara were really into it; I think it was gr7 and s5 had started recently. I started watching, I guess in a combination of new s5 episodes, reruns, and videos from the library. I was a big enough fan of it by the end of s5 that I went to that big "last episode in Vancouver filming" at BC Place (you didn't go to that, did you? I think it was just garran, Sara, and I).

No one did. This was The X-Files, did you expect it to make sense? XD

I watched up to either mid s7 or early s8, then gave up. Sara later lent me a tape of the series finale, but I never watched it... still have the tape, in fact. o.o

I don't remember how it we all got into it.. But yeah, I didn't go to that filming.

The X-Files would probably make sense if we watched it now. Hell; I kind of want to just because I know that I'd understand it better and appreciate it more.

The main thing that I remember about the series finale is the thought: "This is obviously not Vancouver. :|" (It took place in a desert.)

I'm not so sure about that. ^^; From everything I remember and have heard, I don't think the storyline ever really became comprehensible. Namely because Chris Carter had very little idea of what he was doing with it... it was originally supposed to be episodic, but I think Fox wanted him to make it more serial or something. I dunno. Point is, he never really had a proper storyline planned out. Pity, really...
