THE X-FILES — 06x20

Random things I love about the show Bones:

- all the times they take stuff from the museum to use in the investigation ("I got this from the x exhibit")

- Brennan following some birds, bugs etc and finding a body ("Booth, you might want to see this")

- "Bones, stay behind me!" Brennan immediately wanders off

- the banter between Booth and Caroline Julian

- how well TJ Thyne plays exhausted Hodgins

- how immaculate Cam's outfits are (and how they are ruined by Hodgins and co's experiments)

- the guitar riffs that play every time Angela's dad is on screen

no you guys don't get it. the pevensies were always fated to die tragically early, these children whose childhoods were torn away by the brutality of world war i and then who died so early into adulthood, before they'd had a chance to live and to grow up -- in 1949, like so many who made it to early adulthood, just, only to be mowed down on the battlefields of europe. the most common age of death in wwii was 19. the siblings represent an entire generation of lost youth, and Narnia is the gift, the fantasy, the parable of heaven that told the survivors these children got to live out full lives in Narnia before perishing tragically young

susan didn’t get “kept out of narnia because she liked girly things.” she survived because she grew up

Re-watching early X-Files, it strikes one that it's not actually unreasonable for Mulder to assume a lot of what Scully says to him is some sort of esoteric flirting thing, because who the fuck talks to people like that, while we as the audience can see that she just talks like that all the time, including to herself when she's alone.

screencap redraws bc it makes me feel sooo crazy insane when she kisses him on the forehead

So I've decided to watch The X-Files for the very first time after doomscrolling on Pinterest and being Intruiged.

I know this much about the show from the Internet:

- Very Important show in the sci-fi genre and cultural zeitgeist

- the MulderxScully ship invented the concept of shipping

- it's about aliens?

- the title sequence music gets used in all the meme videos

- Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny hate each other, except maybe they don't, it's really fucking complicated

Also I've decided to document this journey on Tumblr bc why not?

dana scully is stronger than any other person on this earth bc if I had to listen to mulder's stupid fucking theories every day of my job only for him to be RIGHT?? most of the time I would go insane

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back
