I started watching the X-Files some time around the second or third season, and from then on, I followed the show devoutly until the end of its run. For me and some others here on this site, the show was pretty much essential watching every week. I remember watching the first movie in theaters, buying the soundtracks, picking up the games, etc. However, the show began to sputter a little towards the end, and aside from an excellent finale, the show really had just run its course. However, after seeing teasers for a new X-Files movie, I began to get irrationally excited again, perhaps to rekindle those teenage halcyon days when this show was on top of the world.
