half a league, half a league

So, uh, it's Friday and I've been very busy this past week and lots of stuff has happened but right now I am too overwhelmed by the TV I just watched. Help? I feel like The X-Files has reached some kind of cultural saturation point where it's one of those things people are supposed to know the whole plot to already, but I don't, and I'm really enjoying uncovering it bit by bit, but--what the hell just happened? MULDER NO. I AM CRYING AT THE SCREEN IN ANGUISH.

The season five intro is a two-parter which means if I want to know what happened, I need to watch two more episodes, and I don't know if I can deal with that. Do I do that right now? Do I make pasta? Do I finish an essay? I don't think I can handle this. HELLO INTERNET MORE LATER <3
