GENERAL POST OF SQUEE

[amalnahurriyeh]

If you have a topic you would like to squee about at short length (rather than in a full post), post it in the comments here.

What about the X-Files makes you leap for joy? What makes you happy about being in this fandom? What makes you love this show? What keeps you coming back?

(And I am out of ideas for funny XF macros, so if you've got one, I could use it.)

I love how David Duchovny managed to insert his own sports team preferences into the show so seamlessly that we never are led to wonder why a boy from the Vineyard roots for the Yankees.



Fanwank that one for me. I dare you. The X-Files: Promoting Cognitive Dissonance since 19923.

Actually, I often wondered why Mulder, being from Massachusetts, had a preference for New York sports teams (well, I knew it was because David Duchovny wanted him to, but that still didn't explain why in the context of the show). Nonetheless, I have come up with an explanation: Mulder being Mulder, he just had to be different and root for New York sports teams.

I feel like I've read fic where it's subtlely implied his father was a Sox fan, and that the Yankee fanning might derive from that. Which is very psychologically plausible.

But yeah, it doesn't make any earth-logic sense. Which is what I love about the X-Files: it doesn't HAVE to make earth-logic sense. It just has to be awesome. And the Knicks are, ergo.
