The X Files
Having rediscovered a series I really should have watched in the 90's I began a marathon of stupidity, descending into the labyrinthine rabbit warren that is the X Files. "The Truth is Out There", never so out there as the stories that run roughshod over countless absurdities and convoluted plot-holes, preposterous, hierarchical nested conspiracies dealing with aliens, hybridizations, colonization, monsters, miracles and paranormal phenomenon. Strangely compelling, delighting in the bad retro suits, trench coats, haircuts and computers, the recognition of various guest stars (a young Jack Black and Scott Evil, still evil), in the end I could only manage three seasons. The best episodes were the stand-alone ones; internet dating done right in "2Shy" (and, believe it or not, I've been on worse dates), the best town picnic ever in "Our Town", and the outstanding: "Jose Chung's From Outer Space".
