The End of The X-Files

Posted by Hemos on from the the-truth-is-no-longer-out-there dept.

fonixmunkee writes "CNN is running this story that says the cult TV classic, "The X-Files," shall be no longer after this season. I have been a huge fan of this show since it started in '93, so I'm quite saddened by it's projected departure." The story originally showed up in Daily Variety, saying that Chris Carter wants to move on to other projects.

    Now how about a Millennium movie, or perhaps a DVD boxed set of the series?

    Now that was a wicked-sweet show.

    I'm a fan of the show, but the last two seasons sucked, big time.

    Comparing Dallas (80's soap) with X-Files (90's soap):

    Dallas - Bobby has an affair with another woman.
    X-Files - Mully gets kidnapped by aliens.

    Dallas - Yet another JR scheme to get all the money from the familly.
    X-Files - Yet another conspiracy at the highest level.

    Dallas - Pamela's dream sequence.
    X-Files - Scully's dream sequence.

    Yes, Bambi! Bambi the roach Queen! I really love those surreally-funny, tongue-in-cheek, let's-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously episodes.

    I believe in death. I believe in disease. I believe in injustice and inhumanity, and torture, and anger, and hate. I believe in murder. I believe in pain. I believe in cruelty and infidelity. I believe in slime and stink, and every crawling, putrid thing, every possible ugliness and corruption.


    Too many exorcist movies perhaps? :)

    As someone who has a family history of depression, lost a mother to suicide from it, struggled with major depression myself on an ongoing basis, and have LOTS of reasons I won't go into here to feel just as empty as you do, I can say respectfully that you are wrong, there is indeed depression and it is a totally different mental state than the boredom you feel. I perceive you have embraced the boredom and emptiness you feel as part of your identity and individuality. That's OK, people get to be goth just like they get to be geek. I believe that as time goes on, however, you will change into something else that I or you or nobody can forsee. A human lifetime is the blink of an eye in one sense and an awfully long haul in another. It's hard to be bored - or depressed - forever. These are not equilibrium mental states. Only change is constant and it leads to evolution not only of species but of individuals. Scoff at me now all you want. Next year or ten or twenty years from now you will say something different. And that "you" will be no more or less "valid" than the "you" of today. Death comes eventually and inevitably and too soon to us all. This being the case, why not embrace life?


    End of pseudo-Zen rambling. Best wishes to you.
