You mean the ones with the gratuitous smoking? Those were extremely good!

I made it to the movie and tapped out, I also had a skip guide that cut out a lot of filler. Good stuff.
Ha, that’s neat. I need that.

I am, believe it or not, on episode 1 — still recovering from covid/migraines/life, so I started watching it last night and passed out 20 mins in — not the show’s fault, just me. So I’ll start from scratch again tonight.

Some people say to stick with it until Mulder leaves, but I felt like the show was getting super rocky by that point. I would just see if you are sick of it at that point, and if not, keep on rollin!

Where are you in the show now?

When they move the show to California for its filming locations is when I felt like it really started to tank, which I believe is season 6 or 7.
This is helpful — thanks. Will probably leave it there then.
