I realized today that I still have the videotapes where I recorded every single X-Files episode...and I don't know why. Having seven seasons of Buffy where I only really liked five, or five seasons of Angel where I only liked about two and a half makes sense. The show had its ups and downs, but when we finally parted company I never had the sense that they disrespected me as a fan.
X-Files, not so much. Season five onward was just a long legacy of pain and nonsense and disrespect. There's a fine line between completist and masochist, and my relationship with the X-Files by the end fell heavily on the masochistic side of the scale.
I'm not holding onto them anymore - they're going in the trash in the morning.
