Dear X-Philes;

Since we so often seem to see the same complaints after each and every
episode, we have decided that to save time and trouble we will give all
the netpickers a generic complaint to fill out.  Please feel free to
insert your comments and make your choices where indicated.

Geez, I hated this episode!  What was with all the crap about <insert
scene description here>?  That was totally gratuitous! They must have put
that in just for the a) DDEB/Duchovniks b) GATB c)Conspiracy Theorists
(check one)!  What is this show coming to that the writers feel like they
have to cater to small segments of the fan population? 

I really hope this show doesn't start to go downhill like a) "Cheers"  b)
Moonlighting <check one> did when a) Sam/Diane b) Maddie/David (check one)
hopped into the sack!  This show is starting to look like a soap opera. 

I wish they would concentrate on a) the characters, b) the plots, (check
one) I don't see what showing THAT scene has to do with a) plot
development, b) character development either.  One of the reasons I watch
X-files is because they don't bow to conventional tv garbage. 

How could a) Mulder, b) Scully (check one) act like that?  They were
totally out of character!  They should have been a) brooding, b) more
skeptical, c) more caring, d) less caring, e) more like my personal vision
of the character not the writer's (check one). 
	
I must emphasize that this is NOT what I watch the X-Files for.  This
descent from the sublime to the ridiculous has me worried...what happened
to the original a) Fox Mulder, b) Dana Scully (check one).  This deviation
from that original vision does not bode well at all for the future of the
show. 

What is it with the a) dark, brooding atmosphere, b) conspiracy paranoia
c) ambiguous endings (check one)?  Why can't this show be more like
<insert name of other show here> and have a) nice bright atmosphere b)
obvious plots, c) neat, tidy endings (check one)?  Besides, everyone knows
the a) government b) MIBs, c) aliens (check one) are really the force
behind it all anyway. 

Yours
