The X-Files

Have been watching the X-Files for the last 2 years or so(I get the DVDs from NetFlix). It has been a fun ride mostly except at times when you can feel how much they try to create a sense suspense at the end of a season only to see them mundanely back to regular problem solving right from episode 2 of the next season :)
At times I feel how well the dialogues or the coversations have been thought off, it feels like they come off of a philosopher's mouth.
The last time what stuck close to heart was a scene from this episode when a housewife serves Fox Mulder --who is staying with her family for sometime --an elaborate breakfast, Mulder says something along the lines of you shouldnt have go through the trouble to which she replies.. "Oh I do this for myself..whenever I feel my life is out of sorts I go and do some housework; it gives me a sense of I am in control"...
I feel that is so true for myself as well!
