Leslie and I finished season 4 of X-Files last night. Never seen the series before until now, and unfortunately, I think this might be our stopping point. We LOVED the first two seasons. Great mysteries, great dynamic between Mulder and Scully, lots of intrigue and great sci-fi horror vibes. But... man, we have NOT been vibing with seasons 3 and 4. Mulder's increasingly more unlikable, Scully is ALWAYS painted dead wrong, their chemistry is barely hanging on with so many episodes where they're written out of character or completely at odds, and man, sometimes there's X-Files really can just feel like it's a Jerry Springer episode but with a conspiratorial plot stringing it together. A lot of "look at this freak!" kind of episodes that go nowhere.

Jose Chung's From Outer Space may have been one of the single greatest bits of television I had ever seen, I will give it that. But I think I'm good to call it on X-Files now. Time to find something new to wind down with in the evenings. Maybe finally check out Frieren or watch the Delicious in Dungeon anime. That or Seinfeld, still a lot
