In other news...
* We went to see The X-Files: I Want to Believe yesterday. It is not a flawless film by any means, but on the whole I was quite satisfied with how it treated the series' characters and themes. I enjoyed it far better than the first X-Files film, and I definitely recommend it, especially to fans of The X-Files.
* I've discovered a terrific new podcast that focuses on science fiction short stories from “SF’s Golden and Silver Ages.” Each show covers a story that was originally published between 1927 and 1965, and includes a dramatic reading (abridged or unabridged, depending on its length) and discussion and commentary about the tale. Thumbs up for A Bite of Stars, A Slug of Time, and Thou.
Father Joe: So you believe in these kind of things?
Fox Mulder: Let's just say that I want to believe.

Maybe it's aimed at Mulder? Or maybe it's a coincidence that the name in the song is Scully? I'm really not certain. If it's not about "our" Scully, I'll just pretend that it is... ;)
