Re: XF mytharcs: *is in awe of the smartness of your thinky thoughts*
YES! You've put into words exactly what always subconsciously bothered me about all that mytharc crap! The simultaneous terror and monotony of paranoia was very well done, but awful for long-term growth and development. And for, you know, not wanting to turn off the tv and go chug bleach. And then Doggett and Reyes happened, and nothing was ever canon again. If only they'd done more episodes involving Mulder getting drugged and chasing after trailer-park vampires... those were the days.
