    I don’t get that statement. “I want to believe” kind of implies you don’t believe, but you wanna. You wanna, but you fail, or something.

      I think at its roots its like, you have to be willing to consider things first. You have to start with a willingness to believe.

      Or at least thats Mulders MO in the show.

      Scully is the scientist, the hard nosed skeptic.

      If you haven’t watched the show, it actually has aged decently, if its a bit campy.

        Brah I’m a golden girl, I watched that shit on release date. :)

        Just the poster never made sense. “I believe” would be better. Maybe I’m reading too much into it.

          Oh same. Friday nights baby! X-files followed by beyond belief, and I think by unsolved mysteries.

            Hahaha we’re old. :(

            At least we’re from a proper generation. Not like these new whippersnappers with their ipods and their skynets.
