Giveaway: The X-Files Revelations
It’s 1994. You’re at your parents’ house in the suburbs. You’re in your room. You’re wearing black sweatpants.
Surprise — you’re me.
Yes, I spent many a year as a pudgy, bespectacled homebody who spent his days trying to avoid being noticed in PE and spent his nights slinging pizzas at Papa John’s. However, on Friday nights, my time was reserved for The X-Files — Chris Carter’s sci-fi masterwork featuring the skeptic versus the believer.
Friday nights have always been a revered time for nerds. I’m sure the TV bloggers of 2025 will be writing about how they stayed at home to watch Battlestar Galactica. And now, I’m honored to be able to extend my nerd legacy by hosting an X-Files giveaway on my TV blog. Yes — I may have acquired Lasik surgery and a jogging regimen, but you can’t hide the nerd underneath.
We’re giving away The X-Files: Revelations. It’s a two-disc compilations of eight hand-picked episodes. The episodes include the one featuring the Russian poop monster (”The Host”) and others from various seasons (if you ask me, though, they should have stayed with the first few seasons with human liver-eating Tooms and the guy who would start fires with his mind). The good thing about these episodes is that they are one-offs — way better than the latter-day ongoing sagas. These episodes are supposed to be the groundwork for the upcoming movie called “The X-Files: I Want To Believe.”
If you’d like to win these relics, send an e-mail to tifaux -at- gmail -dot- com with the subject line “Adolescent Despair.”
Good luck!
PS — You know what’s depressing? I read the other day that David Duchovny started the X-Files when he was 32 and now he’s 47. Holy crap, guys! Where are our lives going! Mulder is approaching a half a century!
