The entry that's about Scully, not Toby. Rejoice!

(This entry should probably be a continuation of my last entry, which was crap, but I don't care.)

I'm most likely going to buy The X-Files season 7. Oy vey. I initially planned on only buying the first six seasons (all of which I had by the beginning of last summer) because those were the Noromo seasons, but... I kinda need my Scully fix. Even if it's post-season 4!Scully. And I know that Donnie Pfaster comes back in one episode, so I want to see that, because of teh angst. *is so mean and wrong*
I don't know. The first season is my favorite, no contest, but I love the second and third seasons as well. But after that... I *enjoyed* almost all of the episodes (all that I've watched- I'll admit to having skipped Travelers in season 5 and... whatever the talking tattoo one was in season 4- I'm having a brain fart; I forget the name), but they just seemed... different, you know? Seasons 1-3 rocked (as previously stated), and season 4 was very good (Paper Hearts and Elegy being two of my favorite X-Files eps of *all time*, not just in that season- all my other favorites are from the first three seasons), season 5 was good, season six was a little better than season 5 (sort of)... but meh. I still need my Scully-fix. 

But speaking of Scully, she *does* change after... I want to say after season 4 ends, but there is a little bit of different-ness in the fourth season that I've noticed. She gets a bit darker, and more sarcastic. And her hair changes. I liked it way better in the earlier seasons. In my personal canon, I've chalked this up to the effect Emily's death had on her (Emily's death, by the way- and I know I've mentioned this, but- it was a totally wasted storyline. Oh my God, Chris Carter, I'm disappointed in you), which has somewhat helped me 'understand' this change (And All Souls = love; I don't care what you say). 

... Yeah. I've been watching a bit of the sixth season recently (Arcadia today, Trevor a couple days ago- and by the way, I would just like to say that as an adament Noromo and a former skeptic that the 'Mulder and Scully go undercover as a married couple, UST and innuendo abound, wheee!' plot would ever amount to a hill of beans, I would just like to say that I thought Arcadia was pretty good- especially for post-season 4. It could have been so much worse- believe me, I anticipated it.), and apart from episodes like Rain King, which was utterly ridiculous, I generally enjoy it. 

Seasons 7-9 are going to totally blow the money I've been saving, though. But that's the price you have to pay. 

(I'm so dwamatic.)(No, that's not a typo.)
