Oh, and I've finally watched the S11 finale. What a shit show. I feel Carter is leaving us with these cliff-hangers just so fans put pressure on the FOX network to create new seasons. I give up. As an X-Phile, I've resigned myself to being used and abused. *runs to read fanfiction* Haven't watched it yet. I'm watching it on German television because I can't find a good stream and that shitshow isn't worth paying money for. I'm only 3 episodes in... I did buy the blurays of the original series two days ago though so I guess the evil master plan of Carter worked out. ;D Let's see how my adult eyes look at the show now. I'm a little afraid but hey can't be worse than the new ones. Also bought the Millennium soundtrack. Mark Snow was good, really good. If you're a true X-Phile be prepared to get kicked in the face. Carter once said that TXF is "a show about frustration." This has never been more apparent than right now. If you want to continue, just learn to accept the "Carter-ness" of things. The essence of being a true Phile is wanting to hug Carter while simultaneously wanting to beat him to death with his own script. TrustNo1

I hate the term nostalgia goggles. I play many classic games and current gen games on my PC. For example I like Skyrim but prefer Morrowind. Why? Because it has better story and characters. I also enjoy playing many of BioWare's classic titles like Baldur's Gate, NWN, KOTOR, DAO and DA2, and Jade Empire. Why? Cause they told great stories. Whereas now games focus on graphics. Nowadays I buy primarily Obsidian games because they have that classic feel. I did buy Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition, and the graphics are amazing. But since I had to watch some anime shorts and a cgi movie before buying the game, to get a grasp on the story. It tells me the game has little story to it. It just focuses on graphics, gameplay, and open world. WHich is not bad I am enjoying the game. The anime shorts titled Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV, were good and gave some great background story on the main character's three friends/companions. Best of all the anime shorts were free and available on YouTube. The movie 'Kingsglaive' gave some good background on the political climate, and it gave good information on the King of Lucis, and the Niffleheim Empire. So without seeing those first the story will not make sense. So i closing I hate the term nostalgia googles. I still play classic games today and prefer them over most current gen games.

The essence of being a true Phile is wanting to hug Carter while simultaneously wanting to beat him to death with his own script. TrustNo1 Lol, the first episode of S10 was already a kick in the teeth. "Everything was a lie." Yeah ok... Every subsequent episode was just more insult. Then the whole CSM stuff made me want to vomit. I guess the entire frame of mind of Carter cam be summed up as: How can I make Scully suffer even more? That's basically the entire show. Scully gets abused. Even when Mulder was abducted it was really about Scully suffering. The thing I hated most about the revival is how they turned that love story into some kind of abusive relationship. I mean it basically always was. As a kid I just didn't see it. But then they actually said it. Mulder is bad for Scully and she finally realized it and now they aren't together anymore. Fuck that. A show like that needs to reward their battered heroes at the end and let them ride into the sunset. But Carter being Carter he couldn't allow that. He had to drag them into the present where we have to watch their way too real relationship problems. It totally ruins the fantasy.

If that rubbed you the wrong way, wait until you find out how Scully got pregnant.....

So I guess this is actually true then? *sigh* Way to destroy the one good thing in their lives. Ugh.

Carter tries to "fix" it in the last couple of minutes in the S11 finale, but I'll let you decide how successful he is. Me:

Came back to drop this off (from NeoGaf)
Someone said it better than I could. I also thinks it's kind of funny/ironic when people didn't know about/or hated on EarthBound back in 90's because it looked too "kiddy" and "stupid", but now treat as some sort of golden calf while proclaiming that FFVII was garbage from the onset. Perspectives and opinions; everyone will inevitably have 'em, but what I've discovered is that bad games were bad from conception, great games are always talked about even 20 years later, which imo kind of proves that a game was not great purely because of nostalgia because how often do people get together to reminisce about bad games?

Who cares if you like something because of nostalgia? I've never understood why it's something to hate on. "Oh you only like so and so because of nostalgia... take off your rose tinted glasses!" Why? I got great enjoyment out of it so why should I now say that that thing that gave me that enjoyment is shit? Just because you think it's stupid? Hell no.
For example,
The original Power Rangers is still the best of the franchise. FIGHT ME.

For example, The original Power Rangers is still the best of the franchise. FIGHT ME. Agreed. For example I love a cheesy show I watched as a kid. Very cheesy dialogue, crap vfx, but good at the time. Still enjoy it for what it is. It’s the 80’s Superboy show.
