icepixieToday, for some reason lost in the mists of my short attention span, I went looking for X-Files music vids. One site also had Farscape vids, which of course I had to peek at. And naturally, now I want to rewatch both shows from the beginning. Well, minus most of S8 for XF...and some chunks of S7...maybe a couple episodes from S6 as well... (Nearly ten years later and I am still pissed off about that "children of starlight" crap. BOO, CHRIS CARTER, BOOOOOOOOOOO.) There are a few S4 episodes of Farscape I could skip as well...Lobster of Truth, anyone?
Yeah, now I'm wishing I hadn't canceled my Netflix subscription. Although if I watch TV, then there's less time to write and read books... Decisions, decisions.
(I think I would get twice as much out of TXF now that I've got both an academic education, courtesy of college, and an innuendo education, courtesy of fandom and ballroom.)
Anyway, I realized three things while watching said vids:
1. First-season M&S are so young OMG. They both look like kids. Gillian Anderson was only 24 when she took the job. SHE WAS ONLY A YEAR OLDER THAN ME. I...what?
2. M&S really spent quite a bit of time touching each others' faces, especially in the later years. And the Doctor and his various companions have been given a run for their money on the hand-holding front.
3. Either there are very few good vids out there, which I find exceedingly hard to believe for a fandom of this size, or I'm no good at Googling today. Anyone got recs? I'm partial to humor, Mulder/Scully, character study, and--should there actually be any beyond the three I've seen--Doggett/Reyes vids, but anything well-done good.

Date: 2007-05-02 04:34 am (UTC)Cool, will do. I'll plan to look through stuff this weekend.
I've heard of it, but never seen it. I'd be game to try it, though!
*cackles evilly*Yay!Bwah! Yeah, the links didn't work, but I went to the episode pages and looked for myself, and, um, yeah.
Haha, yes. I wish I could find the fic tht brought it to my attention in the first place.
Hmmm. $20 isn't a lot. I should look into this... (Or maybe I'll just get Netflix again and watch them that way. Or record the reruns that come on at 3 in the morning or whenever...)
They repackaged the sets at some point, so they're generally cheaper. I've found that the Campus Y has SciFi, so I've caught a couple reruns in the later afternoon. "Pine Bluff Variant" was nice blast from the past.
Oh, I do have some old (official) tapes of XF if you want them. It'd be late May before I could send them, but you're certainly welcome to them.

*cackles evilly* Yay!
Oh, my...what am I getting myself into?

Thanks! I think it would probably be easier to stick with reruns and/or the library, though. But I do appreciate the offer. :)
