You were in the fourth grade? lol God, I was in my last year of college. I remember Fire aired the night I graduated, and I was pissed I was missing it. I think I set two or three VCR's to make sure I got it.
The X-Files was my first online fandom. I participated a little, mostly in the shipper side of things. I read the newsgroup, joined lists, read fanfic for hours and hours a day. Gossamer is the best thing ever. My computer was filled with pictures, and wavs, and videos. A lot of which I still have. I still have at least three boxes of magazines that featured DD or GA or the show. I chatted excessively on IRC. I was totally the person going "OMG! They looked at each other! Did you see their hands touch? They are so in love!" lol
I also lost interest about the sixth season or so. I got married, had a kid, and just couldn't keep the obsession going. But I want to go back and have a rewatch of the whole thing. I remember begging my husband to watch the kid when the series finale aired, and then just sitting there going wtf? at the end.
The movie made up for it, but I still wish they'd ended it when DD left the show.
