minus-squareFrank [he/him, he/him]hexbear21·19 days agoYou know how there are good TV shows sometimes? X-Files was the second good TV show. The first was called Twin Peaks. link
minus-squareOgdenTO [he/him]hexbear10·19 days agoI would even argue that the X-Files was a direct result of Twin Peaks. David Duchovny just couldn't get enough. link
