Predictable

I wasn't overly impressed with the season finale of XF last night.....it was far too predictable for my liking. Someone was going to die in the ep. Hhmmmm, who would they kill off. The only candidates would be Skinner or Krycek and one of those hasn't been on the show much in the past few years and one has an expanded role. Gee, tough choice here.

As for the whole baby thing, again, predictable. People know the show is coming back next year and they want to keep as many viewers as they can for it. So, what kind of ending will they have? Of course they'll do what they did last night in order to help keep the 'shippers' happy and interested in the show. "You're losing Mulder, but look! You might get their baby to replace him though!" Or would they have the baby stolen, killed, etc which would have upset a lot of viewers and turned them off of the show which leads to lower ratings? This way they get to keep many more viewers. Again, tough choice. *smirks*

On the upside, at least they didn't try to insult our intelligence with yet another "Is he dead or isn't he?" season finale.

Hehe, I dont' know why, but I find this amusing

InfoBeat - Lesbian prom king causes turmoil

FERNDALE, Wash. (AP) - The election of a lesbian as Ferndale High's prom king has prompted consternation among adults in this small community and a change in school policy _ future prom kings must be boys and queens girls.

Prom attendees were given a ballot and told to write in their choices for king and queen. Senior Krystal Bennett says she voted for herself as king partly as a lark and partly because she wanted the title. Friends voted for her, too _ and she won.

The election ``imposes something on society that, if truth be known, our society is not yet ready to accept,'' said parent Tina Mauler. ``These types of things ultimately will lead to chaos.''

The prom queen, whose boyfriend was runner-up for king, has a more laid-back take on the April 28 election.

``It's high school,'' Kara Johnson said. ``Let it go.''

It's not clear whether the vote was intended as a joke or a political statement.

``I guarantee the vast majority of our school thinks there is something a little bit disgusting or very wrong about homosexuality,'' said student body president Landin Fusman. ''(But) if you think it's wrong, try to change them in a loving fashion.''

Bennett, the school's only openly gay student, has endured her share of name-calling in the wake of the vote.

She's chosen an activist role _ lobbying to increase the number of books in the school library that deal with homosexuality and criticizing the school's annual Peace Week for failing to address discrimination against gays.

``To me, it's the same kind of thing as the civil-rights movement,'' she said.

Still, the fuss over her election has caused Bennett to reconsider staying in Ferndale, population 8,000, in northwestern Washington.

``I'm not sure if I want to surround myself with that negativity,'' she said.
