the x-files s/d

Omg, i totally forgot about Monica Reyes. Nggghhh. I was about to defend those last few seasons (memory's pretty hazy but I remember liking a few episodes) but now I'm thinking they really did suck something awful.

I do remember enjoying the moment where the audience discovered OMG there are TWO different races of aliens!

I second the endorsement of everything involving Darin Morgan. I think he might have had something to do with Blood, the one involving people being sent into homicidal rages through messages in their microwaves and cell phones. That one was great.

Duchovny's episode about baseball was a totally silly, sentimental classic. Gillian Anderson's new age bullshit episode was crap (and also had Moby).

I wish we could've seen more Kryeck/Covarrubias action - a spin-off 'evil' version of the show!

Second movie en route.

This show was really great sometimes. This movie will probably be shitty like the first one.

i'm excited but how exactly are they going to pick up from the show's (admittedly rather lame) finale? mulder & scully weren't even in the fbi anymore! also there was/is an impending alien colonization in 2012! i seriously doubt they're gonna reboot the mythology and *fanboy meltdown* WARNING! SMOKE DETECTED! CHECK CIRCUITS

Well it's going to be a monster-of-the-week so they'll probably just sweep as much of that stuff under the rug as they possibly can. I didn't know that Mulder and Scully weren't in the FBI anymore but I guess there's no reason they can't be seeking the truth in their retirement, right?

well in the last ep they were on the run from the alien conspiracy which now solely consists of "supersoldiers" preparing the way for the invasion (which was revealed to be in 2012).

though i guess skinner and robert patrick and that other chick are still around. i just hope that if they're gonna do another movie, at least make a nod to those events or something.

i mean since they spent so much time dragging the show out past its peak they might as well, right?

Been enjoying it from the start this year, only halfway through Season 2 now... I remember seeing the movie and hating it though when it came out.

Wat I want to know it, why was it never repeated (here).

I need to pick up some boxsets I think. I can still remember the first episode I ever saw when I was 9 or 10, the one where a guy's shadow kills people. I don't think it's a first season ep - anyone know what I'm talking about?

yeah that's a first season ep...i think the guy was played by tony shaloub? maybe i'm wrong

yep that's the one! totally did not realize that was monk.

and it's from season 2. I knew it wasn't season 1 cause I remember it had been on for a while and I hadn't been allowed to stay up to watch it.

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.

The S5 opener Redux truly is the nadir of the mythology. It's been a while since I watched it, but I remember finding it hilarious when Mulder dramatically announces the true culprit of whatever they're talking about is... some FBI director we might have seen once or twice before in the series. OK then.

I remember there was a very mixed reaction to the blank-faced torch guys (who turn up later in S5) at the time, but I liked them. On one hand, it's yet another element added to the confusion; but it felt like they actually brought a sense of urgency and horror back to the Mythology, which was sorely needed by that point.
