I have seen people do this unironically when they fart.

Ghouls

The production was so low. You could tell when the footage was reused from Saban's earlier shows. Also, it kinda felt dated already when it came out.

It was a long time ago. Difficult to remember. Plus, I was on a lot of drugs by then…

Edit: hold on, the show came out in 1993, when I was 14. So that’s not at all as creepy as you implied. maybe you caught it on reruns? Or you’re not in the United States, and it debuted years later in your country?

Ah, yes… 1993, the year I discovered the joys of smoking…

It debuted in 1993. If they are 47 they were born in 1979 and were 14 at its debut. Your math is close but a titch off

I was never into X Files, and it wasn't until recently I realized why.

It's because the show encourages people to be Mulder.

Lemme explain, the show is pure UFOlogy propaganda. You can be Scully and have a skeptical mind who wants hard proof before you'll admit an outlandish idea is worth looking into.... But then you'd be wrong, because the skeptics are just ignorant closeminded saps! Unwilling to look at the evidence that's all around us!

Even though in real life, the believers jump to the conclusion and work backwards from there to "prove it", whereas it's the skeptics who actually consider the evidence and go where it leads... Which has never in the history of anything been supernatural.

90's Television and Movies had this problem in general, the skeptic is always wrong, and the believer is always rewarded for their faith. The skeptic is always portrayed as ignorant and stuck in their own ways, while the believer is shown as open-minded, full of wonder, and just a delight to be around.

It absolutely had a negative impact on me growing up, always believing in magic, believing it only wasn't working because I wasn't doing it right, or because I didn't believe hard enough.... That's gotta be it, because skeptics aren't good people, the stories all say so!

It's only as an adult that I realize skeptics are bitter and angry for a damn good reason, people keep believing in nonsense and making it the problem of those around them. The skeptic would love for magic to be real, but that's never where the evidence points. Because magic isn't real.
