Vllad, you still like X-Files the best after what they did to the mythos? I think maybe the first 5 seasons are awesome and then it turned into a "Cris Carter needs to milk as much money as possible out of his one success before he dissapears" series. The latest movie was dreadful. I really loved the series tho. I attended the first fan convention for it.

TV shows are a bit like people after they die - it's better to remember them at their best rather than the way they went out. Most shows peak in the first or second season and then go downhill, but that doesn't mean you can't love them for what they were.

I loved the first few seasons of X-Files, but didn't even watch the last one. Twin Peaks, Blake's 7, Red Dwarf...all shows that sputtered out instead of going out on a high. Although it sucks at the time, I guess sometimes it can be a good thing when there;s only ever a single season (Firefly, Faulty Towers, etc).

Better to burn out than fade away...
