Eh, I just figured I should mention it because evidently - from what I gather through fandom osmosis anyway - during S3 it became significantly worse, in ways that couldn't really have been anticipated from S1-2. IDK, I feel like if I had been going into this series without knowing it was going to suck hard in this respect, it would have been harder to deal with. And, nah, I don't think it ever gets actually scary, but there are definitely some really cool episodes and a racist truck for infinite lolz. Apparently that episode is called Route 666? Whatever.
It's got folklore, Christian mythology, road trips, questionable family dynamics, Right? This is pretty much the reason that I started watching in the first place - although they're really bad at folklore - and also there is Richard Speight Jr occasionally, and I am terrible '60s car nerd and I thought it would be lulzy. But now I've gotten really attached the vibe of S1 and S2 and am worried that I won't be happy when I finally get around to the Christian mythology, which is crazy because I love creative misinterpretations of other people's religions.
Oh they are separate things! There is the incest thing which makes me feel like a bad person sometimes? Whatever, things should stop having so much incesty subtext. And there is also the PA thing, which mostly comes from the fact that I live in PA, so whenever I see Pennsylvanians being portrayed as hillbillies or whatever, it makes me laugh? I should probably feel like a worse person about this, but last year Ms. Palin gave a speech like 20 minutes from my university about how she couldn't believe that the French were wasting their money doing research on flies, and it was very well received. D: Oh Pennsylvania.
YOU WERE NOT AWARE OF THE KISSING ON MOTHERFUCKING BOATS, WHAT? Episode 3, Season 6, the internet tells me. They are in the Bermuda Triangle! It was all a dream! Or was it?! For some reason, I've only seen three or four episodes past season 5, and then a bunch from season 8-9, which I must have watched while it was airing or something. IN GENERAL, THE OCCURRENCE OF KISSING IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF MY HAVING WATCHED IT. E-except for the X-Files, shippiest episodes are like, the ones in which they talk to each other. And look at each other awkwardly? Sometimes they talk about their pasts and Mulder's incestuous subtext with his sister, which is just, no.
