wendelah1: Snoopy is thinking (delicate thought process)
From: [personal profile] wendelah1
It just occurred to me that this touches the nihilism at the heart of the show.

EC, I am a little confused by that statement, leaving aside the "nothing, nothing, nothing," as I think that we can agree it's just a little bit of cute dialogue, which I would be surprised to find had a philosophical underpinning.

But I would like to know what you meant by "the nihilism at the heart of the show"? Because I don't see anything nihilistic about the series in theme or philosophy or anything really. "Seinfeld" is nihilistic. To me, "The X-Files" has a clear moral center. No need to answer this, by the way, I'm just thinking out loud, but if you do feel like discussing it, I'd love to know your definition of the term and how it applies to "The X-Files."

Edited for grammar fail. Also punctuation. I try. I do.
