...and TV loses one of its most credulous shows...

Personally, I won't miss it. Was anybody here an X-Fanatic?

Sure, but they closed the local video store down. No one has the nerve to go to the back of the store when there is a greeting party of local nut cases waiting for you outside.
Oh, you were talking about the TV show. Sorry, I only watched it once--something about a monster in the toilets--and then lost interest. Besides, I work nights, and see enough weirdo's. But thanks for asking.
We have imagined ourselves invulnerable and have been consumed by the pursuit of ... health, wealth, material pleasures and sexuality... It [terrorism] is happening because God Almighty is lifting his protection from us.

I'm a fan of the show. Or at least was untill the last couple seasons. The show pretty much 'jumped the shark' around the time the movie came out. Letting it end is the right thing to do now. I do hope they have a series finale, rather than just letting it end.
Though I will miss the lovely agent Skully.

I liked the X-Files for the first couple years. Then things got a little wacky. I did like the juxtaposition of credulity and skepticism. IMO, the show was much better when that was the prevalent theme. Somewhere along the way they lost that to the conspiracy theory.
