NO! Me and my partner started watching X-Files, in a mostly random order. Seriously in like season fucking 7 she's like "I don't buy this mumbo jumbo super natural crap Mulder, even though we encountered something very similar to this like a week ago!"

Like Jesus girl you're not a skeptic, you're just contrarian.

    Every episode:

    Mulder: Scully it was aliens

    Scully: No Mulder it wasn't aliens

    Mulder: Look, an alien!

    Scully: No Mulder aliens aren't real

    Mulder: Scully there is literally one standing next to you and waving

    Scully: Hmm, maybe but I'm not fully convinced

    That's it, that's every episode. And I love it

    Mulder and Scully are the only FBI agents I will never cancel.

      "Scully the alien is literally implanting eggs into your ass as we speak!"

      "Look Mulder, I'll admit it's possible eggs are being implanted in my ass, but I need more evidence than this."

        Ok he gets a pass too.

        I hate how efffective the 90s was at making FBI agents loveable.

        That's where the media has been going wrong with making feds all serious Jack Reacher types these days. To win non-chuds they need to go back to quirky shinanigans (without resorting to Marvel slop)

        Wait. That's what's replaced it for libs, Marvel slop. That how feds and cops are marketed to libs now.

        Shit I just went on an ADHD induced rant didn't I?

          I think there was just a high volume of police shows that they managed to make a handful of great "quirky" ones. Now, literally every show/movie is like that lukashenko-tired , and the police show genre is just chud crap lol.

          It's actually a trope of the time. FBI good guys vs CIA bad guys. Isn't it the same in Sicario?

        Diane, I was browsing Hexbear and encountered some major disrespect from one "Dirt_Owl".
