I finally got through The X Files: I Want to Believe the other night. I thought maybe I had let too much time lapse since the last time I saw an X-Files episode. I was pretty much lost throughout this film. The X-Files have always been a bit murky and mysterious to me and, on reflection, I think maybe that's intentional on their part. Check out the QOTD. I was not a devoted fan, did not see all of the episodes, and further, did not watch the ones I did see in order so maybe I'm off base on the mysterious and murky and maybe devoted fans got more out of it than I did. Good for them, I suppose. For me, I just didn't get it and it was a waste of time. Cool theme music, though.

Maybe that's the answer, in a larger answer.
Fox Mulder, The X Files: I Want to Believe
Blog of the day here.
Quote from said blog: "But, hey, we're the faithful. We'll be there for you, Chris Carter. Sorry for the late start, but this means more concentrated, X-Files-ian goodness for you."
I never caught the X-Files fever either. I would watch it once in a while, but didn't go out of my way. I'll second your "whatever floats your boat" perspective.
That about sums it up, Dave.
Prior to this past week I'd seen fewer than five X-Files episodes. I may still be under five.
Anyway, the pilot was on the other day and I caught it, just to get a look at how young everybody looked. I saw another episode the next day (which I assume is the second, but I don't know). I meant to set my PVR to record the series, but I've just noticed I lack any new recordings.
I think I've seen maybe 7 or 8 over the course of the series run. No idea what years they were from, though.
