Goddamn Chris Carter. I do not trust you. I do not believe you. I know you will fuck me over.

And I will watch anyway.

The meaning of fangirl: will watch even while holding a spork, buy even when hating the credit card bill, and love even when they totally screw it up.

I miss Mulder and Scully. I really want to see what happens next.

Seriously. Dammit.

I'll be here, aware of my enslavement and not even caring because Oh. My. God. X-Files. Hell and yes.

That's pretty much how I feel about the new movie. I wasn't totally sucked in until I saw those little 10 second "I miss ___" promos, and that did me in. I flapped my arms like some sort of seal and will inevitably end up in the theater at midnight on the 17th, fully aware it will be one of the foulest pieces of cinema made in the last 15 years and not even caring because omgmulderscullyeeek.

I'm just impressed how many Philes I'm finding in my other fandoms! It's like our collective dark secret, how screwed over we all got by CC. *g*

I never watched X-Files when it was originally on... outside of a couple eps at the end of one season (don't remember which one).

I started watching last year. Was mainlining... then I got distracted by something midway through season 4, I think it was. Never got around to finishing. Weird.

I thought it was a keen show. And Mulder and Scully!

I even bought the Barbie and Ken dolls. Of course, I was seriously tempted by those when the came out, despite never having watched the show at the time.

So it's coming out soon, then. Dang. Probably not enough time to get through what I haven't seen...

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-06-20 01:59 am (UTC)
You have time! It's only five seasons, times twenty five episodes, give or take, about one hundred twenty five, do five a day....

Wow. That would be a lot of watching.

*blank* I think that's what it looks like when you stare into the abyss, really.

I sorta pretend the show stopped after the 7th season. CC is apparently all "we're introducing the show to a new generation of fans". So, sales are down, eh? Maybe you shouldn't have FUCKED OVER YOUR ORIGINAL FANS.

I'm not bitter.

No. Why do you sense bitterness?

I may like, pay to see something else then sneak into the theater. Just to give them the finger.

From: [identity profile] touchstoneaf.livejournal.com Date: 2008-06-22 04:26 am (UTC)
I am SO right there with ya, girl! I was SUCH a rabid fan, and i think Chris's betrayal of the characters and his own mythology (which i followed quite literally as if it were my religion, and it might have been) actually made me MORE rabid.

I spouted off the last several years about how i wasn't sure i'd trust him enough to go see the damn movie if it ever came out...all the while knowing i would. Because i am a sucker for the MS dynamic, no matter WHAT the storyline.

*is whipped*

From: [identity profile] touchstoneaf.livejournal.com Date: 2008-06-22 04:32 am (UTC)
actually, though, y'know, he might've done me a favour. I more or less quit TV after S9 became even worse than it started out (which took talent).

This is why i only watched to S3 of Smallville, and that on DVD. I read first what the fans said, and it bascially made me aware that that show was like four years of XF S9.

If i had been stronger i would have quite XF after the first ep of S9, but i was too weak, and t hat was just when i discovered online fandom (before then i lived in the sticks and had no 'net access), so i had to stay in to have people to rant with.

*sigh*
i can't believe i'm letting myself get sucked in again, right past my 'it ended at Existence' denial...
Remember the meme of taking about your fandoms like they were boyfriends? [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija noticed a lot of her friends list were really bitter about X-Files, so she asked, "So: what the heck happened? Why are you all so mad? And what are the magic bubbles?" She got lots of answers, here:

How many of those fan girls do you think will be right in line with you?
