9/11 killed the X-Files?

Does that mean the Cold War killed AfterM*A*S*H?

search "x-cops"

episode filmed in the style of cops

gimmicky but exceptionally well done i thought

and terrifying when i was in 6th grade

it's weird now to think there was a time when literally everyone i knew was obsessed with this. that hasn't happened since, even with Lost or Heroes, there are just plenty of people who don't care. And weirdly i don't know a single person now who would probably still sit down and watch the X Files in reruns. I'll probably see the movie but they're going to have to really hype this and it had better get GREAT word of mouth

i watch the x files in reruns

i know a lot of people who've come to the show posthumously, through re-runs and dvds

no not dead people, after the show's run, wiseguys

anyway, it's cool that this is a standalone movie and all, i just hope the monster or whatever isn't some lame angry ghost or an evil psychic.

i want something rad and freaky like a werewolf or a flukeman or that eugene tooms guy

who else wants to put their d ick in agent skully's p ussy?? (Gillian Anderson is gorgeous)

billy connolly??!

About my reaction. From a cagey Chris Carter interview:

The scene on the monitors is one that will later appear in trailers for the film, due to open July 25. Looking surprisingly untouched by age over the last several years, special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), her signature red tresses grown out past her shoulders, stand amid a snow-covered landscape talking with a mysterious man with shaggy gray hair played by Scottish actor Billy Connolly. Something unsettling is taking place, but what, exactly?

Answer, obviously: being stuck with Billy Connolly somewhere.

i just really, really hope there's a monster in it.

p.v.m.i.c., obv

i saw a late-night rerun of X-Files about a year ago and it seemed so dated and just painful to watch. very strange how it seems to have aged so poorly.

i dunno, i think the good episodes still stand up.

a lot of the early 90's-isms of the first two seasons are unintentionally funny now.

latebloomer you should make a "mix tape" of the best x-files episodes and then i will seek them out and download them.

i would really like it if they'd repackage and sell separate box sets of the mythology episodes and the standalone episodes

ya

i second that emotion.

im not latebloomer but

JOSE CHUNGS FROM OUTER SPACE
SQUEEZE/TOOMS
HUMBUG
CLYDE BRUCKMANS FINAL REPOSE
PILOT/DEEP THROAT <<<< underrated
BEYOND THE SEA

clyde bruckman episode is fuckin dope

Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation.
Mulder: Why are you telling me that?
Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.

Not latebloomer either but:

Eve
Blood
Anasazi
Pusher
Bad Blood
The Pine Bluff Variant

But Clyde Bruckman might be the best one, and the second season's really consistently good.

I'd add:

Ice
E.B.E.
Duane Barry/Ascension
One Breathe
Die Hand die Verletzt
Folie a Deux
Paper Hearts
Tithonous (a sequel, of sorts, to Clyde Bruckman)

Some fans will recommend "Post-Modern Prometheus" but in my opinion AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.

did xzibit change his name?

always had a soft spot for space, the one about the "face" on mars

that was like the most boring episode ever.

not for me!

vahid u trippin

but definitely not as bad as the "fight club" one.

Space's reputation as worst episode ever is truly undeserved (same for El Mundo Gira)

Humbug is the best

same dude, Darin Morgan, wrote Blood, Humbug, Jose Chung and Clyde Bruckman...and has done pretty much nothing since then

i've spent a lot of time this afternoon looking at x-files "best and worst episode" lists, and i'm a little disturbed to find a lot of my favorites are on "worst" lists ... see also "genderbender", "el mundo gira" and "firewalker"

My top "mythology" episodes:

E.B.E.
Erlenmeyer Flask
Little Green Men
Duane Barry/Ascension/One Breath
Colony/Endgame
Anasazi/Paperclip/The Blessing Way
Nisei/731
Piper Maru/Apochrypha

My top "standalone" epsisodes:

Squeeze/Tooms
Beyond The Sea
The Host
Die Hand Die Verletzt
Irresistible
Humbug
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
War of the Coprophages
Grotesque
Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space” (single best episode, hands-down)
Quagmire
Home

What does X-philes thinks of "The Unnatural," the baseball episode?

genbderbender is totally underrated!

that scene with the ritual in the barn is so creepy

Can we agree the one with the dude who "likes" (they didn't go all the way to making him a necrophiliac) dead people was pretty shit? Even had a "sorry this isn't actually an X-File but's it's just as scary, right?" disclaimer by Mulder at the end.

Bad Blood

!!! yes all time

in no order

Bad Blood
Squeeze/Tooms
Die Hand Die Verletzt
Irresistible
X-Cops
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
War of the Coprophages
Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space”
The Amazing Maleeni (just for Ricky Jay)

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chris Carter has expressed his ambition to make one more film, if I Want to Believe proves to be a success. He suggests that this film would go back to the mythology and focus on the alien invasion, due to occur on December 22, 2012, which was revealed in the final episode of the series.[30]

shit

thew alien mythology arc shit went south after season 3 but they dug that hole so they might as well wrap it up somehow. it might work in a movie form, who knows. i liked the first movie ok.
