One of my oldest and best friends was visiting from Montreal the other day  and, as we often do when we are together for any length of time, we decided to rewatch a few episodes of the X-Files. As I had recently purchased season 6 (for only $20! I still can't believe that, really), we decided to watch a bit from that season, including the third episode of the season, "Triangle". You know, the one where Mulder goes out to the ghost ship and ends up back in time, except most of the people he meets look like people he knows in the present? Yeah, that one.

And here's the thing. I knew it was coming. It hasn't really been that long since I last saw this episode (I used to rent them from the library back when they were more like $120 per set), and I have seen this episode a few times now. And yet when the end of the episode came along, with Mulder about to jump off into the ocean, and the "In case I never see you again" smooches, despite all this I STILL SQUEED AND FLAILED LIKE A CRAZY PERSON.

Even though it's been years since I was at all the into the X-Files (although I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming movie), even though I'd pretty much lost interest by the end of the series, even though it wasn't even the real Scully he was kissing. I just. I have such a shipper's heart I can't help myself. I feel floaty even just thinking about it.

And luckily for me, my BFF had a similar reaction, so I didn't have to feel too embarrassed.
