I don't remember if I participated in that particular ++/-- game but what I remember most about those games is that I would get way too emotionally invested, so I stopped playing them pretty quickly.

I had a similar reaction to Sanguinarium, queequeg. It's gross and silly! Why doesn't everyone embrace that?! It's the good-bad 80's horror fan in me, probably. I just finished watching Agua Mala lik

I can't decide whether to start with ones I don't know/remember, or ones I think detracted from the show or at least failed to add anything to it.  I think I'll do a mix.

 

Scully (Van de Kamp), William (worst.idea.ever.)

Covarrubius, Marita ("Beeee hussssbandry"  She just drove me nuts)

Follmer, Brad (No idea who this is, but Skinner should be the only AD in town)

Spender, Cassandra (I usually like Veronica Cartwright, but not here, and I had lost all interest in the mytharc by the time of her story)

Rohrer, Knowle (No clue who this is and I'm not quite ready to vote off anyone else I do know, so ...)

(Dread Pirate) Brad Follmer.  What a prick.

 

Marita Covarrubius.  Remember when they kinda halfway implied that she and Mulder had a quickie when he came to her apartment?  Good times.  Except the opposite of that.

 

Cassandra Spender.  I actually didn't mind her scenes, but this is already difficult!

 

Knowle Rohrrrrrrerrrrrrr.  Jayne, no!!

 

First Elder.  I tired of him way too quickly.

I thought they put the kibosh on any such speculation by showing something - Mulder's watch, maybe? - to show that not enough time had elapsed for even Mr. I Get Laid Once Per Decade to have got some?

Baby William. Babies are never a good idea.

Brad Follmer

Bill Scully. Such an ass.

Knowle Rohrer. Worst name ever.

Marita Covarrubias. I don't hate her but definitely wish they had done something more with her.

Knowle Rohrer is a worse name than Marita Covarrubias?  It's at the very least a tie.

Welp, first 5 supporting characters to be eliminated are AD Brad Follmer with 6 votes (it's unanimous!), Marita I Can't Spell Her Last Name Without Looking It Up Every Time Covarrubius with 5 votes,  Baby William and Knowle Rohrrrreeerrrrr tied and are both out with 4 votes each, and the last spot was between Bill Scully and First Elder with 3 votes each   However, with weighting the votes, Bill Scully lives to be voted against another day!  Congrats Bill, I think?

Bill Scully.  Total jerk.

 

Section Chief Blevins.  Meh.

 

Diana Fowley.  Just because I hate her and her twin torpedoes of deception.

 

Deputy Director Kersch.  Took him too long to come around.

 

Bill Mulder.  Because he was pretty much a washed up drunk with no spine.

I feel a little bad voting for Monica this early because I don't have anything against her, but she's basically a non-entity to me since I didn't watch season 9 and never will.

William Mulder - Still a drunk

Capt. William Scully -  Sorry Ahab

Teena Mulder- Also kinda sucked as a parent.  I'm pretty sure the only quality family member poor Fox had was his long lost sister.

Cassandra Spender - meh

X - not my favorite informant

The Mulders were shitty parents, but I think Mrs. Mulder (I just can't deal with "Teena") is an interesting character, and well played -- the icy calm composure, and this wonderful mix of emotional fragility and stubborn refusal to break down under the weight that really speaks to what her life must have been like in this bizarre world her husband and CSM had her embroiled in.  Her comportment is also a nice window into what Mulder's childhood was like, so she's an important piece of the show's puzzle to me.

I think Mrs. Mulder is very interesting too, and I'm trying to go by that more than "like" or "favorite", though it's hard sometimes. But I think I'd rank her over Mrs. Scully even though I (obviously) love Margaret so much more.

Cassandra Spencer is a case where my love for Veronica Cartwright might be holding my voting for her back. Still, she's a pretty interesting lady. One wonders why she ever dated CSM.

Captain William Scully

Agent Pendrell

William Mulder

Max Fenig

Cassandra Spencer

Yeah, I'm going by an "interesting/adds something to my enjoyment the show" sort of criteria.  So Pendrell is just sort of there as this tertiary character, but the wonderful touch of normalcy provided by his crush on Scully was appreciated.  X was an asshole, but I found him compelling to watch.  I don't much care for Melissa as a character, but what we got to see of Scully by having her around was enjoyable.  Etc.

So with 6 votes Cassandra Spender is gone (another unanimous!), Bill Mulder is also out with 4 votes, and Billy Miles, Gibson Praise, and Capt. Ahab Scully all went out tied at 3 votes.

Krycek, Alex (never, ever felt the Ratboy love, and after a time he felt shoehorned in to things so his number is up at this point in my rankings)

Max Fenig is out this round with 4 votes, followed by Monica Reyes, Agent Pendrell, and Jeffrey Spender with 3 votes each.  X also got 3 votes, but was the lone survivor once rankings were taken into consideration.  Of the four 3 votes, Monica "Whale Noises" Reyes (also known to some as Moronica) fared the worst.   Agent Pendrell and Jeffrey Spender had the same ranking average.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Thanksgiving weekend and probably won't get online much, so this is likely my last round.

 

Alien Bounty Hunter

Krycek, Alex

Hosteen, Albert

Mulder, Samantha (Yeah, yeah - impetus for the whole thing.  But they should have wrapped that up about three years before they did.  And, you know, in a far less stupid way.)

Ooh, a Byers vote.  All along, I've been most looking forward to seeing how the LGM wind up ranking -- are they all in a row, what order do they go out in, etc.  I haven't even completely decided that for myself yet (I know Langly would be my first Gunman to go, but that's about it).

And with that, this round is pretty cut and dry.   Alien Bounty Hunter and X are both out with 4 votes each.  Also out are Albert Hosteen and Teena Mulder with 3 votes each.

12 contestants left!   Vote for 3!
 


The Lone Gunmen... Langly is probably my least favorite of the 3.  For some reason I've always really liked Byers
