Perhaps it's the generation we live in, I'm not sure, but at some point we stopped watching our favorite TV shows and started dictating how they should unfold. Instead of going on an amazing journey of conspiracy and plot twists, we fixate on our own personalized expectations of how we think the story should unfold. Back in the 90's fans didn't give a shit about the petty issues that arise in some of these reviews. Of course fans were jarred or shocked here and there, but that was all part of the fun. It's one thing to talk about it and get emotionally charged in fan discussion, but to write the show off because it "shocked" or "disappointed" them, after the first episode???? To each their own, but wow, that's not the kind of fan I am. I love to be shocked! I love to be surprised. Don't get me wrong, I love when expectations and predictions come to fruition, but if that happened all the time, things would get boring. The fact that after 26 years I can still jump out of my chair and yell "wholly shit" is a testament to how great this show still is. The fact that fans are upset that CSM impregnated Scully, or at the least said he did is rediculous. It's a classic X-Files scenario that nobody expected. It's not rape, it's science fiction. But as I said, to each their own. If you don't like it fine good bye, go watch something else. If you were a fan and can't remember what it was like to watch the show in the 90's and not bitch about unexpected plot twists and just enjoy good science fiction and escapism, then I pity you. For me, I am enjoying going on this journey with these beloved characters in the here and now. It may be 2018, but it's still X-Files and I still want to believe. I never thought I would be sitting in the basement with my wife watching all new X-Files. CSM, you are still one vile SOB!!! Can't wait to see what happens next!!!!!
