"New X Files Movie" or "I Am A Nerd"

Yep, you call tell by the title that I am a nerd! I am a big X Files fan! So is Tom. So are my father and sister Doreen. Tom and I happen to have the entire series, all 9 seasons, on DVD and a few years ago we actually watched every episode in order. It took us several months to do this.

We were very excited to hear that a new X Files movie was coming out. So was my dad. He was very, very excited. So excited, that he said he had to see it opening weekend. This is from the guy who does nothing but work and occasionally watches a football game while folding his socks. For my dad to actually want to see a movie, then make plans to go see it is a HUGE deal for him. This is completely out of the norm for him. Trust me, he never goes to see a movie!

So today, Doreen, me, and our dad went to go see it (Tom is in LA at some charity party). My mom babysat Andrina while we went to the movie. I was really excited to see it too. So excited that I played music from the series on my iPod while us three drove to the theatre together. I'm a big fan and a nerd (but hey I did get an education so it all works out). I loved the series, I loved the romance between Mulder and Scully and my big question before seeing the movie today was: Did Mulder and Scully finally get together? Ok, so on the series, after years and years of working together and unrequited romance, they finally spent the night together and they had a baby. Which the baby had telekinetic powers and was in danger because the government wanted the poor baby for his powers. So the emotionally drained Scully had to put the baby up for adoption to save him. All the while Mulder was missing. So as a fan of the show, with all the conspiracy story lines wrapped up, I wanted to know, do Mulder and Scully finally get to be together? Are they still together? They have both been through hell and they deserve some happiness. And I want to experience their romance vicariously too. And I was hoping for some news on William, their son. Could they ever have the simple happiness of a life together or have Mulder and Scully lost their child for good? The mom in me feels such anguish for them. I could not go on with my life if I ever lost Andrina. Can poor Scully ever be a mom to her son again? She must live with such pain and emptiness...
Anyways, to pick up the mood--the three of us saw the movie and we all really enjoyed it!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! Stop reading if you don't want to know what happens!

Scully and Mulder have given up the FBI. Scually is a practicing physician and it is not clear what Mulder is doing with his time aside from following x-file type cases in the news. But they are living together! Yea! I am so happy that they finally got to have their happiness and be together as it was so obvious they loved each other. As for the stoyline, they get pulled into a new case involving a missing FBI agent. No conspiracies. The movie was more like one of the self-contained "monster" episodes. Asst. Director Skinner comes back for a very brief time in the movie, we three cheered when he came on screen! He is summoned by Scully to save Mulder, again, and the always caring good-guy Skinner is at his paternal best, working to save Mulder and provide comfort too. William is mentioned, but he is not there with his parents. He is with his adoptive family and neither Scully nor Mulder knows where he is to protect his safety. And at the end of the movie, Scully and Mulder are together, someplace warm and tropical. I'm so happy with how it ended. Perhaps there will be another movie that will focus on William........

Oh, and a side note, I also enjoyed the new remix of the theme song that played during the end credits. I will have to get the soundtrack too.
