ok, so i watched the 2 hour series finale of x-files last night, and am now more confused than i have been in my intermittent viewing of this show over 9 seasons. I was not a rabid fan, obviously, maybe because i like to get a good night sleep on sundays and that sort of thing would cause an uneasy night. anyway, i thought that the bringing up the presence of cross/jesus/god in the last 5 minutes of the season as a reason for hope in the future was a bit lame and gratuitous. i thought that there were many unanswered questions, even for a show that will probably foster a few major motion pictures now that the weekly serial has ended.

i do plan to watch the series finale of ally mcbeal- i also anticipate a lame attempt to tie up loose ends- and i am sad that i am jaded about it before seeing it- i used to enjoy the show and find it banal and senseless in its attempt at madcap humor at this point. ah, well- maybe she'll do the mary tyler moore thing and throw her hat up into the air..........
