You can’t put a cover on the sky

Remember the 90s? Remember when people rightly identified MIC projects? But then also built a weird (but rad) secular ideology around it.

Music was better when aliens existed.

    I was literally about to post a bunch and the next one was going to be Unmarked Helicopters. One of the greatest songs written about UFOs ever, even if it didn’t have the added cache of being (extremely briefly and badly mixed) in the bacjground of an X Files episode. Max fucking rocks, both as a character and a double-episode. Fuck the ‘Keys of X’ version that shortens it and forces the theme in at the end.

      data-laughing It was a great song, soundtrack had a couple songs on there I really dug. I remember fuck all about the show beyond basic premise and the black sludge nose booger alien whatevers though, especially the movie. Just total blank spot in my head.

          lol, don’t tell anyone, but while I watched every episode and the movies, and the lone gunman show… I was more of a Seaquest DSV / Sliders kid. And I haven’t checked Sliders, but I rewatched my favorite Seaquest ep and it was lib as hell.😅

            Ooof, the Lone Gunman show. That’s the real conspiracy; how a good spin-off with some great plot writing was doomed to failure by some of the absolute worst creative decisions ever.

            (Also Sliders is fun, but I genuinely haven’t seen an episode in 20+ years)
