Every week there's a new monster (MOTW) where all the evidence for outsiders disappears, or there's the mythology where the government is covering it up.

I'm a huge skeptic in almost everything, but if I saw what she saw, I would clearly believe. That's plenty of evidence for me, and I'm an actual scientist (well PhD engineer. I definitely did real science in school though)

The shit's clearly real in their universe.

(Sorry, just been watching the first season of the x-files for the past few weeks)

My sci-fi love came later. During the X-Filed age I rather watched Buffy.

I never watched Buffy. I think my wife did though. I'll see if she wants to rewatch.

Currently in season 3 on my Buffy rewatched. Has aged okay, but there’s also a lot of nostalgia at play.

I just asked my wife if she wanted to rewatch. She said no, but she is trying to take a nap and our son is bugging her.
