      I'd say you're probably a semi-shipper, like me. The idea idea of a romantic relationship is exciting, but...the X-Files is just as important.

      I'm a semi-shipper as I think that a kiss is the farthest they should go. (But it should at least be a passionate kiss!!!)

      As a "semi-shipper" from early on, I wasn't too fond of "3" which IMO apparently existed merely to give DD some romantic screen time.)
