Name that show: Fox Mulder is a lumberjack who is assigned a new partner in Dana Scully that questions his methods

Easy: The T-Files

Back in the 90’s, The T-Files was this weird little show about Fox Mulder, a lumberjack working for the Flora & Botany Institute, who used his skills for investigating strange occurrences within the plant world. It was really odd for a lumberjack to be employed in his field, so he was generally ridiculed at the Institute. (They call him Stumpy behind his back). His partner, Dana Scully, was a no-nonsense arborist who came from the position that there’s nothing that can’t be explained with a simple counting of tree rings. She wasn’t too popular either, trying to navigate the field didn’t leave much time for making friends, and she encountered a “Caution: Poison Ivy” sign stuck to the door of her treehouse dorm room on more than one occasion.

Together though, they worked like photosynthesis. They would go around studying these cases no one else would go near, like killer bugs who would only come out in the dark, and even once interviewed a florist who claimed his venus flytrap was sucking all the blood out of his body. Their investigations would hardly ever yield solid results, and even when they got close to an answer, they were usually foiled by their nemesis, The Chain Saw Man.

It sounds like a silly show but it was pretty progressive at the time, and the tension between the two leads was thicker than a Redwood trunk. Several Geocities sites crashed directly after the episode where Mulder and Scully had to pick several hundred burrs off of each other’s bodies. They still sell “Are you thorny, Scully?” t-shirts at cons.

Great show, watch with a friend over a drink or two.

~*~

1. What is the title of your favorite book and what are you currently reading?

My favorite book is probably a toss-up between the Harry Potter series and "IT" which, if your read them both, probably isn't that strange. I'm currently reading Marvel's Civil War arc and am dying a little inside with every Superhusbands conflict and Peter Parker sacrifice.

2. Who is your favorite muppet baby?

I actually had to look this up because I wasn't a big Muppets watcher as a kid, and I'm probably older than about 98% of all the people I follow. Let's go with Baby Fozzie.

3. What is your number one pet peeve?

Hearing someone use the word "honey" or "sweetie" in a negative, demeaning way. Makes my eye twitch just thinking about it.

4. If you could have any super power what would it be?

To fly. It's always been this, and was reminded of how much it's still true after catching some of Peter Pan on tv today. Which is funny considering my fear of heights, but oddly enough I think it'd be ok if I had control over it?

5 Name a guilty pleasure of yours?

Sleepy Hollow. I love that ridiculous show so damn much.

6. What show would you like to watch but haven’t yet?

Granada Holmes, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Breaking Bad, The Wire... I keep a list...

7. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

London? Seattle? I've never been to either but I've always been attracted to both because of the rain.

8. What is your dream career/job?

Animator. Or recently, comic book artist. They say everyone's got one good story to tell, and I think I know how I would want to tell it. Now, I just need to get good enough to do it right.

9. In general are you a believer or a skeptic?

I'm definitely a Mulder. I believe the world is too old and expansive for us to have a grip on all of it.

10. Do you have any hidden talents?

But they wouldn't be hidden anymore if I said it!! (No.)

11. If you joined a circus what job would you want?

Ringmaster. Or the one who throws the knives. I'd feel really bad for the person on the other side though 'cus I've got terrible aim...

My questions:

1. Last fandom-related scene to give you feels?

2. Favorite song right now?

3. If you could give a big budget solo movie to any character, who would it be?

4. Favorite dessert?

5. Top 5 movies you would bring with you on a desert island?

6. Best cartoon when you were growing up?

7. Did you watch Sharknado? What'd you think?

8. If you could have any piece of art hanging in your living room, which piece would it be?

9. Bagels or doughnuts?

10. In a neutral arena, who wins: shark or crocodile?

11. What's the one thing you're really hoping for in  2014?

That bittersweet moment...

...where you come home from vacation and you're remembering all the hilarious and good times you had, but then you walk into your home and breathe a sigh of relief at being back in your element.

Wonderful times were had and I love everyone.

It's good to be home. :)
