Not to mention his plan to go gay after dating the Ashanti!Demon.
And he would have gotten away with it too, if not for those meddling kids!
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And it all comes back around to the Potentials, ruining S7.

Y'all should get Freaks and Geeks. It's great stuff. And Sarah Hagen is fantastic as Millie - totally unlike Amanda, though.

Amanda completely threw me during her first couple of BtVS episodes, because she wasn't Millie.
I loved Freaks and Geeks with all my heart. I feel the need to go to the Minearverse and apologize for watching Wonderfalls, because I am suddenly feeling like the KoD for good TV.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I also have the XF in my queue. How far in the series is it worth to watch before it jumps the shark?
I'd have to say S5 or S6. There were still some good episodes after that point, but the series as a whole took a serious downturn.
The epic end of Cancer Man. Have to drop a mountain on the man to finish him off. I shrieked in ecstasy when I saw him.
I personally found that whole bit pretty silly. Especially since they'd painted him as a sympathetic (if no less evil) villain previously, then suddenly turned around and decided "Nope, he's just unrepentently evil with a capital E." You started to understand where he was coming from, even if you didn't agree with it. Then suddenly he was just a cackling villain from a B-Movie.
Though the thing that pissed me off most about the finale was Kirsch suddenly deciding to be a good guy and help Mulder and Scully. WTF? I loved the slow change over for Skinner and came to really like the character, but I totally didn't buy it for Kirsch, especially in the 11th hour like that. It's like CC wanted the only villain to be Cancer Man to emphasize how EVIL he was. Feh.

Oh kyrumption, I had blocked that out. I don't think ANYTHING enraged me more than that in X-Files history, and that's saying a lot. That's kind of the gold standard of "asspull" if I've ever seen it. From a show that notoriously pulled a lot out of its ass over the years. And, for once, I'm not talking about the genie (per se).

The hell? And they bought it, and expected the audience to? And, and...
Nevermind. I'm just glad I decided to skip that season.

I wish I had. Well, I skipped most of it, but I got suckered in cause it was the last episode ever.
Except for this regrettable movie talk they're having now.

Yeah, I keep hearing tidbits about it and shrugging. The last few seasons ruined absolutely any interest I have in furthering the story. I personally think that when DD first wanted out, they should have just ended it gracefully.
That said, I would probably pick up the early seasons on DVD if they weren't so damn expensive. When you can get a season of Angel or Buffy at around $50 it just boggles the mind that a season of The X-Files (or Star Trek, for that matter) is in the $100 to $120 range.
