Never Seen the X-Files?

This post is simply to voice my dismay. I just saw a headline on the website of my local paper that reads: “Our critic never saw the TV show, but he likes the movie.”
What?
Am I THAT old that I cannot believe there is someone working as a media critic that has not seen an episode of the X-Files on TV? I was already out of college when the TV show launched and I immediately became fixated. Even those around me who were not as into the show as I was saw an episode or two along the way, even if it was in syndication.
And, am I alone in thinking that the least the St. Petersburg Times could do is send one of their reporters who IS familiar with the television show to see and review the film? I think you’d be losing something in the review if you cannot give the readers some insight to the flow between the show and two movies.
Flabbergasted. That’s what I am.
