Someday, I need to finish X-Files. I think I was close to the end of S4 when I overloaded.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

I really liked Millennium, but the third year was bizarre reset. The last episode of season two is one of the more spectacular pieces of television ever. Do not expect anything resembling closure.

You will be a happier person if you don't.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I must admit I am not a Millennium fan. It wasn't the gross that got to me, although truth to tell I really don't care for gross. It was the show's world view. I feel like I am often way too pollyanna for these parts.

I liked the world view, but I like the dark.

I have been told that I am a wee bit dark.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I didn't start until S4 when I had a roommate who loved the show and filled me in on the backstory as we watched. If I'd seen the pilot when it aired I might have skipped the rest. Mulder was such an ass in the pilot.

Kristen Cloke's final scene was fascinating, disturbing, and all around brilliant. I loved her character.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I find I much prefer creepy to gross. Unless gross and creepy come hand in hand like the Home episode of X Files, which is kinda my highwater mark for the blend.
I've been catching the odd Mulder/Scully episode recently, and I don't know if I'd forgotten them--I was sure I watched into the post-Duchovny days.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
You will be a happier person if you don't.
I know I would have been.
I watched the pilot of Millennium and I felt it was going to string me along the same way X-Files had. I ditched Lost when I got that same feeling.

It's been a while, but I think most of the gross factor was in the first few episodes. I think it shifted more toward creepy after that. There's a Morgan & Wong episode in which a nursery rhyme made me shudder. Seriously creepy, but I don't remember anything gross.
