   I was just doing a little reading in the old, original Official Guide ('The   
   Truth Is Out There', covering seasons 1 and 2).   
      
   When I read the following quotation from Chris Carter, a little piece of my   
   heart died.   
      
   'A big part of my job during the ... pilot ... was protecting against that.   
   I was really the lone voice saying we cannot have these people romantically   
   involved. There cannot be real TV sexual tension here or else the show won't   
   work. As soon as you have them looking googly-eyed at each other, they're   
   not going to want to go out and chase these aliens. The relationship will   
   supplant or subvert what's going to make the show great, which is the   
   pursuit of these cases.'   
      
   Chris ... you fucking KNEW it would happen. You said it yourself over and   
   over again in the early years -- a romance would ruin the fucking show. You   
   fucking KNEW! You fought to keep it from happening when everyone else wanted   
   it! You KNEW what would happen!   
      
   Why did you betray yourself, Chris? Why?   
      
   You FUCKING KNEW what would happen! Why, seven-some-odd years later, did   
   your balls suddenly shrivel up and die?   
      
   Why did you do it?   
      
   WHY????????   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   *quiet sob* Why?
