Easy like Sunday...

Not much achieved today, not that I should have. Dragon is away on business, so I’ve spent most of the day watching X-files’ season one episodes that I borrowed from Andy and sleeping. It’s funny – I watched X-files when it first was shown in TV in Finland, but I didn’t really like it at first. Looking back now, I think at the time I took it too seriously – I was highly annoyed by the fact that they offered "scientific" explanations for all sort of claptrap they encountered. Now I take it more like a piece of fantasy fiction – and if you don’t take it too seriously it can be quite entertaining. Most of the episodes have aged well although Scully has started to look ridiculous in her 80’s look, and mobile phones look silly, but Ghost in the Machine has so far really been the only episode where the concept is now really stupid (and references to 2001 and HAL where less than subtle). And the tech speech made me squirm – "We’ve combed trough the parsing sub-routines and have so far found nothing".
