Poor Queequag.

seren_ccdSo, I'm deliberately not looking at my Big Bang for the next 48 hours in order to approach it later with new eyes and do some editing.
Instead I'm just reading a lot and spending far too much time on tumblr.
You know what's an amazing time-suck? Going to delicious and typing in a favourite pairing and then reading fic and gazing at picspams. I'm currently in a Mulder/Scully mood and there are over 2,000 entries on delicious for them.
I'm thinking a re-watch is in order. I've totally forgotten most of the mytharc stuff. I might skip the cancer-arc though, that seemed to go on for too long.
However, my all time favourite episode is probably Quagmire with Big Blue and the Ahab speech.
The following conversation is some of the best the X-Files ever had to offer.
That is some serious pillow-talk right there. Dear God, I miss that writing.
BUT, this has always bugged me. You know the little dog Scully has with her, Queequag, who meets an unfortunate end? She says he was her sister's dog. He WASN'T. He was the little dog in Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose that belonged to his neighbour and Scully adopted him.
Did this bother anyone else?
Just me?
I, for some reason, don't have any X-Files icons, so Ripley and Hicks will have to do. Woohoo, Aliens!

Scully: No, how much you're like Ahab. You're so consumed by your personal vengeance against life, whether it be its inherent cruelties or mysteries, everything takes on a warped significance to fit your megalomaniacal cosmology.
Mulder: Scully, are you coming on to me?
Scully: It's the truth or a white whale. What difference does it make? I mean, both obsessions are impossible to capture, and trying to do so will only leave you dead along with everyone else you bring with you. You know Mulder, you are Ahab.

Date: 2010-10-01 08:45 pm (UTC)Oh, gosh. I haven't written for the X-Files. It's one of those fandoms where so much of the fic is so very, very good, I've always been a bit nervous of attempting anything. But, thank you kindly! I might have to try them one of these days and challenge myself.
I pretty much consider the banter in this show to be the pinnacle and it's my standard to which everything is held against.
I haven't seen the Nitpicker's Guide and and it would probably make me cringe. I remember always finding little things here and there. Wasn't there any episode in which Scully says she has four older brothers? Or something equally bizarre? Geesh.
Ooh! Recs! I'd love a link if you can, that sounds awesome. Thanks!
