House of Leaves

I watched ST with my dad since I was 7 or so, but TXF were my first evening show. The pilot aired here in Germany when I was 14 and pulled me in. It was exactly the show I didn't know I was waiting for. It was magic, so Monday nights were set. I can absolutely relate to your story, I remember talking about it with my friends in school and like you, Scully was my favorite. She could do no wrong and I loved her rationality, curiosity and courage to face things that she had to explain to herself. And the cliffhangers were the worst, especially once the mythology took off. The whole uncertainty were the show was going, was just so exciting and the dark turns could induce goosebumps. It was the first show I felt fannish enough about to buy books and ep guides for it.
