well the allusions were blatant to be sure. i mean, it was spelled out throughout the series that this was all about chasing whales ~ i just think some people didn't tend to "get it" on that level. i know the friend i used to watch the series with (who introduced it to me), just thought mulder was hot and wouldn't have even known starbuck was a reference (except maybe to coffee).

hahahahahaha.
