9 down, 193 to go.

[@hookybrickshooky9529]

Sounds like a lot of work! Almost scary. But I really hope that it will be a positive and successful endeavor for you.:)@@chacochicken

Will take it one episode at a time and see how far the spirit carries me.

[@hookybrickshooky9529]

Sounds like a very healthy approach to me! But I of course hope that the spirit and your audience carries you all the way. ;)@@chacochicken

5:43 i too remember watching the shuttle explode. that day was my 5th birthday. its nearly my first memory lmao

[@chacochicken]

A surreal moment to be sure. I don't think I fully grasped the event as it happened.

[@hookybrickshooky9529]

In a way the trivia was stronger than the episode itself! Well done! When I was much younger, The Face on Mars was a very popular mystery - it had a Lovecraftian quality to it. In a way, I'm glad that The X-Files addressed the topic, but a good mystery alone doesn't make a good episode. On the other hand, I wouldn't have minded if the Challenger disaster hadn't appeared in the series. Things were still too fresh for my taste back then.

It's a very strange choice for Carter to have included the proposition that a NASA mission director deliberately killed a bunch of astronauts years before in a real life event.

[@hookybrickshooky9529]

Yes, very strange indeed. Carter had a lot of ups but also some downs - I think this is one of them.@@chacochicken

I'm rewatching this at the moment and it's nice to see someone else enjoy it. I watched when it came out and still enjoy the dynamic. People seemed to hate the new ones but they were OK. Not awful not amazing, just ok.

It's a great series and I wouldn't go to the effort to talk about it and fumble through recording, editing etc unless I loved it. There are a lot of different reasons to watch this show. If it's M+S then the new episodes are fine, if it's Myth Arc then the new series makes no sense and so on. I've found it very illuminating to rewatch this series now, 30 years later.
