My brain sees this and says:

Oh no! Nine kidnapped Scully and took her to the past, and now she's wearing dowdy period costumes while he's looking all strange with the long hair and they're arguing, because she wants to go back home to make steamy fun times with glasses-wearing Mulder but the Doctor's all "No, we need to stop an alien invasion!" and Scully's all "Been there, did that for nine seasons, so over it! Now take me back to my broody woobie; I don't need two! And if you don't, I'll shoot you. FOUR MORE TIMES until it works."

...My head's an odd place.

Aawwww....

Just....Aaaaaawwwwww....

The dancing was so cute, and I loved Angela's comment about Boothe trying to be Brennan's kinght in standard-issue FBI body armor. I love how sincerely Booth cares about Bones's well-being and how much he respects and values her as a partner. The pair is totally hitting my Mulder/Scully partnership kink. Better than any other similar show has since XF.

I'm sad Agent Jayne turned out to be a bad guy...

I'm looking at a pop-up ad that says the X Files movie sequel is in theaters this July. I... didn't know that. I remember hearing that one was being made, but for some reason I thought it was only in production, and would be out next year or something.

I don't know if I *want* to see it.

Okay, that's a lie. I do want to see it. But I'm afraid to see it-- just like I'm afraid to watch the 4th season of Doctor Who that's airing right now. And just like I am afraid to watch the final season of Veronica Mars.

It's why I fucking hated the Harry Potter epilogue. (aside from the fact that it was poorly written)

I'm really itchy about ships, see. I can handle my ship getting a tragic ending or a happy ending or ending up with different people, but once it ends, I want it to end. Because once the canon stops I can go running off into the distance with fanfic and speculation and watercool talk and incredibly detailed essays about why I think X couple does or does not have a future past canon.

Adding more canon later to something that I have already come to terms with isn't a *good* thing in my mind, in fact it's a BAD thing. It takes away my opportunity to speculate. It takes a thousand possible doors and slams them shut until only one single door is left, swinging in the ominous empty hallway of the show's potential.

I skipped the last two seasons of the XF, I admit it. I lost interest. But I did see the final episode of the show, and I know vaguely what was going on, and that was the end of that. My show was over, my ultimate first true television OTP was resolved with the confirmation that they were partners turned best friends turned lovers turned survivors, and they were probably the closest things to soul mates and "made for each other" that you'd ever get on television, and even when the world was ending and everything was bad they at least had each other. Nifty. I can dig that.

...and now there's a movie. A movie that will probably totally wreck that dynamic just for a bid at sexual tension (damn that bee!) or something.


You know, the only time something like this has ever happened to one of my shows and had it be a good thing was Farscape. And that's probably only because the series finale was never intended to be anything but a season finale, so it felt like it needed the miniseries to end it. Also, I knew the writers couldn't POSSIBLY fuck up that OTP in just four hours of television, because John/Aeryn were about as close to made for each other as Mulder & Scully, but with a director/creator/writers team that I trusted more than Chris Carter.

So, to end this now too-long post... I don't know what the XF movie is about, I haven't seen any trailers, and I don't know if I'll see it. Except I probably will. On video or something. I dunno. I probably will, actually. But I'll have to have lots of good whine first. Because even if the movie does wreck my OTP, they can't *really* wreck my OTP, because Mulder/Scully became untouchable truthiness back in season 6 or 7 and in my head that's where the story really finished. All this is just...fanfic, or something.
