I watched through the most of the original run, though I lost touch with the series when I was in college. I did watch a majority of the last season when I could find the free time with classes and what not (and boy was I confused...nothing quite like coming into the middle of that plot line midstream....). Not gonna lie when I say that I lost more sleep Sunday to Monday night from nightmares growing up because of the X-Files. And y'all can judge me all you want for it, unless you were 13 years old and watching it run live the first time, you can't understand how freaky that show was.
