I'm making myself a new icon.

[personal profile] moonshayde and [personal profile] stargazercmc have put together an excellent new community: [profile] trustno1_redux, for rewatching the X-Files.

Ahh, it takes me back to those heady days of young fandom, being an X-Phile (oh, what a horrible name), writing fanfic between classes, flirting with strange Canadians over the interweb, and all my passwords being 'trustno1'. Heeheehee. I looked at the list of first season episodes, and simply had to join. Squeeze! The Jersey Devil! Fire! Beyond The Sea! Gender Bender! Darkness Falls! I'd forgotten how much love I had for that series. *happy sigh*

And did everyone already know that Hammond is Scully's dad? I only just realised it today. It made me very happy, in a very geeky way.

ETA: And was it just me, or did every second X-Files fanfic involve them getting all dressed up to go to an entirely unlikely FBI ball, and dancing to something corny and romantic?

Heh. Well, mostly, the landscape was remarkably like Stargate's alien planets. I think if I ever go to Vancouver, the whole place will feel spookily familiar.

Their idea of England, as seen in the episode 'Fire', made me chuckle (I'm looking it all up on Wikipedia and reminiscing). Every other person is a Sir. As, you've probably discovered, is SO not the case. :D

Yeah, I used to think Fox was a good name. Eeeeesh.

(Actually, Dana is a good name...)

I get that feeling too. I mean, if I already do it with other shows filmed in Vancouver (my mom & I play 'guess that filming location' now almost as much as 'name that British/Canadian actor/actress').

Wait, everybody's not knighted here? WTF? ;)

Dana's not a bad name... I just knew some girls at school and church named Dana and I couldn't name my daughter that and not dredge up memories. So while Dana Scully is kick-ass, Dana from Sunday School most definitely was (is?) not.

Ah, yes. I guess you didn't know anyone named Fox, though? *g*

I bet the number of kids called Fox increased when the X-Files came along. And a lot of kids will be about as fond of that name as Mulder was. If I recall correctly, he made even his parents call him Mulder.
