The X-Files Diaries - The Mission:

In my youth (well, when I was younger. I suppose I still am young) I loved the X-Files. I had, what at the time, seemed like a great deal of it on video. And I watched it on TV, I loved it.

But at some point, my fairweather adolescent mind stopped being interested. My X-Files videos were sent up to the loft, the dozens of books packed up in a box and forgotten about at the back of a cupboard. Abandoned to gather dust.

Then, about a year ago, on a whim I bought the complete first season. I watched an episode or two, and then forgot about it. Then, just a few months ago I slid disc 1 into my DVD player. I don't know what happened, what was different. But I fell in love with the series all over again, and before finishing Season 1 rushed out to buy the complete box set, and the second movie which was not contained within the set.

However, using the internet I doscovered that there was more to the Universe than just the adventures of Mulder and Scully. I was aware of the short-lived 'The Lone Gunmen', but I had no clue that the show Millennium was connected to the X-Files universe. And so, I stand at this:

I will watch, and review every televised adventure within the X-Files universe, and the two X-Files movies.

I will begin soon.

October 1st. Day one of the X-Files diaries.
