Summary: A kind of summary of the 5th season.

Disclaimer: I have absolutely no ownership of Mulder, Scully, Skinner or anyone else - or anything else referred to - in the following. But then you knew that already, didn't you? <g> What I do have is a complete admiration for David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and everyone involved in the creation of The X-Files, and a sincere appreciation for their efforts in bringing to life characters and stories which I love. Needless to say, no infringement intended.yadda yadda yadda. <g>

Additional Disclaimer: I also do not have any ownership of the song on which the following is based. Again, just a love of R.E.M.'s music, and this song in particular which lent itself so well (okay, okay, some lines were difficult to amend! <g>) to a review of the 5th season of The X-Files. Again, no infringement (and no insult!) intended. Michael Stipe and Co. are cool. I really hope you don't mind.

Author Notes: This is the first time I've ever publicly subjected anybody to anything I've written of a creative nature, and its only because of the feedback I received when I initially posted this that I do so now. Thank you to all who wrote. It was a buzz to know that a bout of silliness amused and enlightened so many. As I said in my original post, this filk was prompted by the subject heading of a post, my love of R.E.M.'s music, way too much time on my hands, and a severe attack of the sillies.... With apologies to Michael Stipe and Co., and anybody else who isn't familiar with the song "Its The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. Oh, what the heck, apologies to anybody else...period...<g> for subjecting you to this, but after spending time working this out, I just had to post it.

That's great, it starts with a Redux, vials and chips, a kiss or two, and shippers are not afraid. Mulder on a mission, ends with Scully in remission - Consortium serves its own needs, so now we know CSM bleeds. Frohike, Byers, Langley, Scully no, Skinner no. Mulder naked on the floor with fear of "them." Not them. M&S by a fire, represent shipper hopes for sleeping bag for hire and a camping site. PMP, Mulder, Scully in a hurry with the locals breathing down their neck. Black and white X File has baffled, some philes shocked. Look at that dance scene! Great then! Uh oh, Emily, plot inconsistencies, Scully angst, but it'll do. Save yourself, fanfic yourself. CC serves his own needs, see shipper hearts bleed. Modell up and walking and the sister with the whammy - huh? A therapist, psychotic, slam, trees, mud, blood, Mulder feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the season as we know it.

Nine o'clock - XF hour. Make sure your vcr has power. Stephen King, doll thing, listen to the phone ring. Mulder in office, Scully looking, pencils dropping. Mulder trapped - in a bad way. Kickass!Scully saves the day. Mulder, bed, Scully, bed. Ooh Boy, ooh Boy. Watch a bed shake, shake. Uh oh, Marita means have fear - Mulder near. Krycek kiss and slash cheer. A Travellers, a Travellers, a Travellers of lies. Offer me no M&S, offer me a Mulder ring, and I decline.

It's the end of the season as we know it.

That's great, it starts with a Spender, Fowley too, an alien and Gibson Praise is so afraid. Mulder on a road trip, Scully giving Kersh lip :-) Kersh serves his own needs, M&S serve the truth's needs. Scully and a weasel, guess who wins?<g>, Mulder in the water and dreams them. Not them. M&S in a car, Mulder driving, talk of a government cover up and a normal life. Body switch and Mulder in a marriage with Fletcher's wife breathing down his neck. Scully catches the clues, Fletcher trumped, handcuffed, shocked. Look at that last parting! Seed scene - Oh yeah. Christmas eve, haunted house and lots of blood, but it'll do. Gift for him, gift from him. Demon serves its own needs, see the Rain King's heart bleed. Mulder gets the cow dump and Scully speaks of their love, right? Then Walter Skinner Alex Krycek, slam, punch, Skinner feeling pretty sick.

Nine o'clock - XF hour. Make sure VCR has power. Scully shot, philes churn, Mulder to her side returns. Krycek back, many Spenders, one Fowley, shippers screaming. Myth-arc plot does escalate. Consortium incinerates. Watch the water, watch wet Mulder. Monday, same day. Rob, Laura, married, dog ep ends with a poster philes cheer! Scully has stalker. A baseball game, baseball game, a baseball game of life. Offer me M&S, offer me a DD ep and I rejoice.

Three eps to go, Mulder no, Scully/Gunmen Vegas ride. M&S hallucinate, Skinner saves day. Krycek, Fowley, CSM and Walter bad. Scully investigates, Mulder psyched! We're XF obsessed, no we're focused! seventh next, right? Right.
