I watched a handful of \*\*X-Files \*\*episodes during the 90s, like when networks made a big deal of the shocking “Home” episode, and didn’t like Mulder (Scully was okay, though), and after watching a particularly icky rerun, “2Shy,” I didn’t try any more episodes.

However, my dad started watching reruns in late 2000, and I sat through a couple and realized that I actually enjoyed the show, and Mulder eventually became a character I liked after all.
