I mistakenly said our X-Files: I Want to Believe rating avatar was “rakes to the face.” The ratings avatar for that episode is the far more titillating and politically incorrect “alter boys.” “Rake to the face” is the metaphor that Fem used to describe the absolute zero on our ratings Likert scale regardless of the specific avatar. I am pretty sure this metaphor was inspired by X-Files: I Want to Believe.
