Thank you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
logospilgrim, for the beautiful Christmas card. It cheers me immensely to know that someone is thinking of me, and Roomie was enamored of the business cards.
I finished my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_holidays fic, but I can't post it here-or anywhere else on the Interwebs until December 24th, and I cannot lay claim to it until January, after the big reveal. So it's sitting in my folder, waiting to be proofread. I'm sure I'll find a typo or ninety. In the meantime, I've got to start my xmas_in_thelab fic. I'm estimating a 7-10 day span there, and if it holds, I'll have completed my gift fics well before Christmas. Huzzah!
I have decided that unless there is a dramatic improvement in the X-Files by the beginning of S5, I'm not buying any more seasons. It started out so well, but by S4, shouldn't Scully be wholly unsurprised when Mulder starts spouting deranged theories about UFOs, shapeshifters, genetic mutants, or the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper working at the Dairy Freeze? And as a doctor and a scientist, why is she continually surprised by the possibility of rapid and spontaneous genetic mutation?
I think my primary problem with the show is that since I'm coming so late to a party long ended and only kept now by people too smashed to leave, I know precisely where the end is. Thus, the cliffhangers and cloak-and-dagger subterfuge are more annoying than suspenseful because I know Mulder isn't going to die in S4. Had I been watching along with everyone else back in its heyday, I have little doubt I'd've been a ravening fangirl.
Episodes like "Kaddish", "Small Potatoes", and "Synchrony" keep me watching, but they are getting more infrequent in proportion to Chris Carter's bloating sense of importance and invulnerability.
