To be fair, me even picking up Alex is partially the fault of the LoM cast back at a game I used to play at... Which, of course, turned out to be great because she's become such a part of my RP existence. And in that case, I'd say go ahead with series 2, then... It has a really strong opener and I think you'll get a good feel if you'll like the show right away. (As for the LoM finale, I love it and cried like a little baby. ;;)

X-Files was my LIFE as a kid. I actually play Monica Reyes in another game, and I know a fantastic Mulder. We... seriously need Mulder and Scully on the Plane omg. D:
