1993! The year X-Files premiered!

Which premieres again tomorrow night @10 on FOX!

Shit it was that long ago? I was only 10, but I think X-Files was the reason why my dad picked up a bigger antenna so we could get UHF. Good times! I should probably watch those early ones again.

YES!

Check out all the episode written by Darin Morgan. They're all quality and some of the best ones.

Also: Post Modern Prometheus, Bad Blood (THE best episode)

Scary episodes: Squeeze, Tooms, Home, Elegy.

For hilariously bad episodes: First Person Shooter and Kill Switch, both banking on the 90s virtual reality and Doom craze. Kill Switch being one of the worst episodes (2nd only to "Three") is funny because it immediately preceded Bad Blood.

Oh yes, FPS is usually the episode I mention or think about when I wonder how the new (mini) season's going to be: it was just like "uhh.. what haven't we done with Mulder and Scully yet?" "uhhhh put 'em in a video game where 'GAME OVER' means your life?" "Sure!" The show also introduced me to the phrase "jumping the shark" in an episode titled Jump The Shark.

I guess I have seen some of the first/second season more recently; my housemate at the time had never seen the show at all, which is understandable because he was younger than me and I was like "dude, you have Netflix." Anyway he worked graveyard shift and I was 9-5 so I'd be getting ready as he was getting home, so basically the X-Files theme could've been my alarm clock. But I only half paid attention as I had to get going and had other things to do in the morning. He's my old housemate for a reason, but those were good times.

But thanks for the reminders! I'm horrible with episode titles, I'm just like "uhh that one that's on season 3, I think it's episode 4.. the one where ____ happens" which is about as useful as a wet hen when the show's got 200 of those to choose from.

Skipping around I don't think I'd remember many since I'm American, but I was in UK around that time. What's funny is the one I skipped to was an ad for AERO bar, and I was just thinking about how much I missed them and why the fuck you can't get 'em or anything like 'em over here. That's.. really kinda weird!

They sell them at the little corner store in mar Vista/L.A. a block from my house. Great little corner shop because the owners are Indian and the store has a large "British groceries" section

Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of specialty markets that sell them come to think of it, but I don't think there are any near me. Then again I don't have much of a sweet tooth; I just liked the mint one. It was like eating a big refreshing Whopper.
