X Files on Comet

 I'm up here in a condominium room in Destin, FL, just dead to the world. I spent a few hours in the ocean getting pummeled by heavy waves, just defying the pounding with some stupid "Bring it on you bastard." Yeah, now I feel like a few rounds with Mike Tyson. Anyway after driving around in a thunderstorm to get folks food, I collapsed on the bed with some Subway, finding Comet on the television. X-Files is on and feels like it fits Comet like a glove. Comet reminds me of Syfy when it was Sci-Fi Channel in the 90s. It was really interesting watching this on our last night on vacation before returning home, Comet on Friday in Florida, The Jersey Devil from the first season, with Mulder dealing with Atlantic City law enforcement, wanting him out of their jurisdiction. Mulder driven to get an actual sighting on the record for an actual neanderthal woman in an actual urban area of New Jersey. Scully wanting a life outside FBI work, as Mulder can't help but passionately go after the bone while Atlantic City law seem bound and determined to kill the menace gnawing off human arms. Mulder calling up Scully from the jail, five o'clock shadow and the noise of a jailbird puking his guts out in a cell. Chewing up diner breakfast chow while excited about seeing the woman from the outskirts in an alley, disguised as a bum, Mulder learns Scully had a date...a date that bored her. 

While watching Shadows, there were commercials about the lineup on Comet and The X-Files follows Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, which tickled me. I have no idea how much of an audience this reaches. But it seems like a channel for that old niche audience no longer catered to.
