That was amazing, in so many ways
First X-Files episode ever acquired by dubious means - there was no downloading when I watched it air in the nineties.
I got all wibbly in the credits - they used the old credits! Skinner's in there now!!
It was really, really bad. Like, padded and hysterical and approximately 93% Chris Carter's id in voice-over form. Nothing actually happened. Like, nothing.
I don't even care.
Dana's eye-rolling and total "I'm done with your shit, Mulder" expression has not changed one bit.
(It is not cool to get covered in blood during surgery, by the way. That is a thing that doctors try to avoid.)
Skinner's beard! SKINNER.
It's so great to see people popping up on my flist who I remember from forever ago. This fandom was the start of the internet for me. I think one of the first things I used a search engine for was X-Files related. (Remember the Noromos and the MSRs and all the amazing fic? I remember.)
FFA's discussion is lovely and nostalgic
lilacsigil and I used to have X-Files dates. (I was like, "You have to watch this show. You will love this show!) When Home first aired, she was living in Japan and I had just gotten my first grown-up job, and I spent some of my first precious salary to telephone her and tell her how horrible and terrifying that episode had been, while I soaked my poor sore feet in a blue plastic basin that we still own.
We were such tiny babies back then. Now look at us, together and well and all grown up. *sheds another tear* I'm so glad.
