I finally restarted my X-Files marathon. I had stopped close to the end of Season 8. I don't really remember why other than Season 9 is the final season and even though I'm aware that the series ended years and years ago, finishing my marathon is just another reminder that it's over. Finishing the series, even though I could start over at any time, would be so...final. I grew up with the X-Files, I didn't start from the very beginning but I have fond memories of watching it with my dad on Sunday nights after my siblings had gone to bed. The partnership between Mulder and Scully is pretty much the bar to which all other male-female partnerships have been measured for me. I think that's one reason why I like Bones so much, Brennen and Booth's partnership is a lot like Mulder and Scully's. That's probably another reason why I stopped marathoning, Doggit and Reyes show up and Mulder disappears and Scully makes less appearances. It's not the same X-Files that it was and I think the writers knew that, which is why 9 was the last season.
