Welcome to My Unhinged Project
Hello, I'm Diz, and I'm happy you've come to join me in my unhinged project that no one asked me to do!
I started watching The X-Files when I was five years old, and twenty-six years later, here we are. This used to just be a general X-Files blog, so if you're looking for the stat posts, each one will be tagged "txf cases solved" and then the relevant episode title (ex: s1e1: pilot). I'll add stats as I go, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to hit up my inbox.
Also, while most of the stats on the episode posts will be pretty self-explanatory, I wanted to show you the scale I'm working off of to determine whether or not a case has been solved. See below, and have a nice day.
SOLVED IT SCALE
Yes: Unequivocally captured the one who did the crime and the case was and/or could be prosecuted in a court of law. (If the culprit died, but could have been prosecuted if they had lived, it still counts as a yes.) Alternately, if it's determined that no actual crimes have been committed, or no arrests are even necessary, but they have an answer to the question posed by the case that they can take back to D.C. and not get yelled at, I will give it to them. A case MUST BE a solid "Yes" for me to consider it definitively solved.
Yes, but: They stopped the crime from happening and unequivocally know who the culprit was, but there is not enough evidence to prosecute in a court of law and/or the culprit is not human and therefore is not bound by human law. Or, alternately, the culprit escaped. Whupsie!
Maybe: They have a guess, but it's too impossible to prove/the episode does that thing at the end where it suggests they missed something important and then it fades to black.
No, but: They do not know who did the crime, but the crimes have stopped and/or they gathered new information to level up in their experience in the search for The Truth.
No: Yeah no, they got fuck all.
Uh-oh, mind wipe!: For some reason, they have no memory of the crime ever occurring, rendering the entire investigation moot.ย
This episode is too weird to fit any of the above: This is my fail safe for if I missed something. It does what it says on the tin.
