re: Just started "The X-Files" on Netflix..

I ultimately found the overall plot of the show regarding alien colonization and government conspiracies to be underwhelming. It was a great show, and the central plot was good early on in the series, but they just dragged it out so long and threw in a lot of unnecessary elements, IMO. Still, an awesome show, but the "monster of the week" type of episodes are my favorites.

Scully gets on my nerves at times. No matter what she experiences with Mulder she refuses to accept it and constantly plays the skeptic yet if it's something remotely spiritual/religious in nature then she's willing to take leaps all of the sudden.
