ivyficI have an accounting final tomorrow, so naturally I rewatched the X-Files episode "Duane Barry." Here's the thing: all of X-Files is available streaming on Netflix. X-Files is a show that should not be watched streaming ever.
Especially in the early seasons, the show is so dark--so much of its beauty is about using as little light in the frame as possible--that when you get a low res version, you can't see anything at all. And since I was watching on an iPad, that meant I was mostly watching smudge marks and the reflection of my face.
So if you haven't seen X-Files and want to--sorry, you're going to have to find the DVDs, cause it's not even worth it to spend the time on streaming.
