As I sat contemplating whether bangs were really for me, and trying my hand at photoshop, I realised that I haven't updated this thing in forever. Not because I have stopped obsessing, but because I have been obsessing so much that I completely forgot I set this thing up... Oh well. It doesn't matter, because I'm the only person who reads this.
So what's been going through my mind for the past month? Many things. Most of these things are conveniently handed to me on a platter from a friendly lj blogger, but that doesn't make my fangirling any less sincere. It just means... Frankly, that I'm lazy. And that I'm not clever enough to find out all the information for myself.
Jumping ahead... Xena. I know every one makes fun of this show, but I don't think that anyone could really say it was bad if they were to actually bother watching it. I know when it was originally on tv, I never watched it because my brother used to bag the hell out of it.
But then he moved out, and I watched a few eps. It got my attention almost straight away. Almost.
At first I was shocked... "Do these people actually think they are making good tv?" (Yes, I realise my grammar leaves a lot to be desired, but it's all part of my charm...) Then my common sense kicked in and I realised they were, well not taking the piss, but it's that kind of idea. Ever since then I have enjoyed the show.
Now I've forgotten my point... Oh yes.
If I may digress for a moment... The first tv show I ever fell in love with was The X-Files. It stole my heart from the first time I laid eyes on it - I remember that moment it as if it were yesterday. I was 8 years old, curled up on the couch in the dark at my grandma's house and this show came on. I can't work out if I loved this show instantly because of the writing and the characters (hell, I was only eight years old) or because it was about aliens and the supernatural. My entire life (until it dawned on my how unrealistic my dream was) I was crazy about space, the idea of life on other planets and all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut. But back to the point. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but The X-Files owned me from that moment on. Mulder & Scully & Skinner (oh my!). I loved it so much I spent $200 on Season 1 when it first came out on DVD. (For the age I was at the time, that was basically my life savings...) Anyway, The X-Files is the one show that I have never grown weary of, no matter how many times I've seen the eps.
(You've made it this far, stay with me... I'm almost at my point)
So, how do these two tv shows and these two seemingly completely different stories relate?
Well, let me tell you.
My problem is this:
I have never, ever seen the last season of The X-Files. I've owned the DVDs since 2004, but I've never ventured on to the last season.
Likewise, the last 2 episodes of Xena remain unwatched. I do know vaguely what happens (she dies!) but I still can't bring myself to watch it.
Now, the reason I haven't seen them.
As for The X-Files - it's quite simple. I don't want to lose interest while watching the last season, and have that taint my memories of the final ep/season, and thus cast a shadow on the wonder that is Mulder and Scully. I like how I remember them right now, and I worry that I perhaps wont enjoy the last season as much as I want to (high expectations and all that).
As for Xena, I'm waiting til I'm in the right mood. I want to be as obsessed as I was when I first started watching it, when I had to run to the store for the next season as soon as I finished the one I had bought the day before.
I know I'll watch the end of Xena one day (because if it isn't as good as I expect, I wont be all that disappointed) but as for The X-Files... It has to be perfect. Maybe I'll watch it one day when I meet someone who loves it as much as I, and I'll feed off of them.
Anyway, Scully and Mulder were too cute and far too cool. So they get some pics. (I would do some quotes, but it will end up being all of Bad Blood, so I'll let it go...)
