V: Viewing Habits
V+++: I reserve the entire sunday for the X-Files. I avoid any

episode comes on.
V++: I always watch the show on sundays and will avoid activities
that might cause me to be unavailable sunday evenings. I usually know

crowd in the stadium in Vancouver, I know every writers style and
filmography. I watch movies just because someone who worked on the

O: I watched GA on leno once... she acted like a little kid!
O-: I watch the X-Files, but it's just a show! I wouldn't watch

today? Is this just a case of great minds thinking alike or did I miss
something? Anyway, here's my contribution:
Shipper tendencies -- do you want M&S together?
S++++ The X-Files is a love story! Forget all this paranormal crap, let's
just have an hour of M&S in bed every week.
S+++ Definitely, as long as it doesn't overwhelm the rest of the show.
S++ Have them together, but don't actually show it.
S+ Sure, just not yet -- I enjoy the UST too much.
S I can't decide!
S- They probably are in love, but if anything actually happened between
them it would ruin the show. Remember Moonlighting?
S-- Friendshipper. It's refreshing to see a man and woman on TV who get
along and AREN'T sleeping together.
S--- It's a brother/sister thing, dammit! Can't you see Mulder and Scully
are in love with Krycek and Skinner?
S---- Why are you even worried about that? The X-Files is about
paranormal phenomena, not who's sleeping with who! This
isn't Melrose Place!
I'm also thinking we need something for whether you're a believer. And on
this group, probably how perverted you are <eg>...maybe a place to put
your Purity Test score?
I think way too much about these things...

All these put together (except no Scully/Skinner <g>), so I guess ...

I want to believe ... in no romance and a good mytharc :)

I'm not a huge sci-fi fanatic. I've read a bit, mostly as a youth, and
own many of the classics; I watch some of the shows when I can; I have a
general intellectual interest in it, but I don't commit any real time to
sci-fi. I haven't read Foundation or much Asimov, and I never was into
comic books. But I scored an S++ here. Red Dwarf and Hitchhiker's
Guide are too mainstream to be in the top category.

Foundation is a series of novels (actually the original trilogy consisted
of compiled short stories) written by Isaac Asimov concerning the fall of
the Galactic Empire and the establishment of a Second Empire within a mere
1000 years with the help of the predictions of psychohistory (a statistical
analysis of probable future events, made feasible only by the enormous
human population in the galaxy) developed by Hari Seldon, who established
the Foundation. The original trilogy shows us several generations of
charcters, whereas the prequels center on Seldon, while the sequels focus
on Golan Trevize and Janov Pelorat.

Except months like this when we have rows and rows of scully-free or
stupid-ass eps like Schitz...
But during the season??? YEP! I even journey over to my parents house to
watch it on a 27 inch tv with cable, bay-bee!!!

Most of 'em. I have about 80% of the eps on tape, but I'm only missing
the lame ones.

Uh, I didn't see Playing God, but I'm pretty up on who played what, and
I can almost always spot a former guest character on other shows, even
if I don't remember their names.

The older I get, the less I read (except fanfic, of course.<G>) I prefer
Anne McCaffery to Asimov, simply because I like McCaffery's brain candy
better.

I avoid the group, only stopping by occasionally to see if something
interesting has been posted. I spend most of my "discussion" on places
like ATXC and the Jose Chung Literary Society.
I find fanfic and discussions of fanfic more interesting than the show
