But you totally had a Scrubs-like fantasy where you went up to him and told him off and asked for ALL YOUR MONEY BACK that you spent for 9, 8, 7 years of his BULL!
Have you seen that meme where you're supposed to describe your fandoms in terms of different types of boyfriends?
Almost universally, X-Files fans will describe their show as the boyfriend that sweeps you off your feet, romances you for a few years, then leaves you broke, emotionally shattered, and in all probability carrying an STD.
Until some of the XF2 promos started coming out, a lot of us were *still* acting like survivors of an abusive relationship. Personally, as fast as I rolled over just on seeing the stills -- I'm willing to believe I'm *still* an abused fannish spouse.
It's okay though...you've still got a ways to go. Enjoy the honeymoon!
It won't be so bad since you're watching on DVD. But nine seasons (well, only 7 that people really watched) of real time, with him being the biggest prick on the planet and shitting all over his fanbase on a regular basis....yeah. It was rough. I used to be unbelievably obsessed with that show, and now it's hard to even think about it, because I got so burned.
But on DVD it probably won't be as bad. Well, seasons 8 and 9 will still suck, I'm sure.
Also, just see telaryn's response to you, she sums it up. :D
Unfortunately the XF thing was tonight and I had to pick up chanel19 at the train station. It's just as well, really, because if I had to sit and listen to him I'd probably have an aneurysm.
I have no idea who you are outside of lj, but based on what you've posted in the past, I am incredibly proud of your restraint.
And then there's the old-school fangirl in me going, "Ooooh! Chris Carter! He created one of the bestest tv shows ever! I'm so jealous!" (even if he did kill any continuity and logical storyline...)
Hee! Thank you. And yeah, I'm afraid I'm such an embittered old fangirl I have trouble feeling any gratitude toward that man. Hopefully I'll mature at some point. *g*

If you see him again, would kicking be out of line? I think a subtly-aimed kick would do you a world of good.

Is the hair as bad as it looks in the pictures that have been popping up lately?

Are you going to get to see any panels with him? You've *got* to report if he gets asked any real questions (instead of the fluff).
