So I presume Mac has cancer, or some other nasty disease? I'm guessing that's what that little bit with her questioning what she could have was supposed to indicate. ('Cause this episode apparently wouldn't know subtlety if subtlety hit it in the head with a bat. Chick living in the apartment with Mattie: Mattie is a typical angsty teenager! Harriet: We're one big gooey happy family! Mac: Webb and I had such a special connection that we're psychic! Guy on ship Sturgis was investigating: I'm a tough guy and don't have to tell you anything, neener neener! Yeesh. Are all of the eps like this? I've only seen bits and pieces before, plus maybe a whole one of the eps where Mac was fake-pregnant in some Central American country with Webb, so I have no baseline to measure this one by.) The ending was sorta sweet, but I guess I thought I cared more than I actually did. Meh.

Actually this was a good episode. Most the time Kate and I talk about other things during the episode but not tonight. As for what's wrong with Mac I'm hoping it's Endomitriosis.

Endometriosis would be better than cancer, but the doctor looked rather more sober than I would expect for that diagnosis...not that it isn't a serious disease, but it's fairly common, and not particularly lifethreatening, as far as I know. Although I suppose I'm looking at it as someone who has no desire for children, so the main, er, symptom of infertility doesn't really bother me.

Anyway, if that's better than the usual level of dialogue, I'm glad I don't watch this show on a regular basis. I don't think I could deal with the blatantly unrealistic and cliched phrases coming out of these people's mouths every week. It sounded so...scripted. Gah.

Doesn't really bother me either but the reaosn we think it's that is because of the baby deal. And because Harm brought it up I'm even more conviced.

There really isn't any other reason I'm here other then the ship. And after eight years I can't figure out why I'm still here.

Hmmm. Maybe. It would at least be less soap opera-y than cancer.

Yeah, and they aren't even that original of a ship...they're basically Mulder/Scully mixed with Sam/Jack, but absolutely blind and cursed with even more bad luck than the others.
