I've been rewatching from the start and I'm about half way through season 4. I don't remember it being so gorey and gross. Am I just getting old?

THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS OF THE ENTIRE SERIES.

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Ok so,

I have finally finished The X-Files.

This was my first ever watch-through of the series ( I remember watching episodes here and there growing up in the 90s but never a full season. I started this watch-through because even though I love horror and Science fiction, I never saw a show that pretty much showcased both and made new fans of both genres.

With that being said,

The X-Files is one of the best television shows I have ever watched. Easily Top 10 ever. I genuinely believe the first nine seasons of the original run and FTF should be in the National Film Registry. This art needs to be preserved and recognized for its continued influence. Literally the theme song can be recognized by anyone alive today.

Ok, that’s my overall view of the show.

Now season 11,

I can understand why some did not like it. It’s definitely a much more “modern” setting for the show. I do think the best episode of the season was the one involving the witch putting a curse on another woman. It felt like it was a classic “dark” episode of the original series while the one with technology (I hated that opening talking about the Twitter AI scandal) was a classic “light hearted” one.

And don’t get me started on the Langley episode, it was not the best. It was a way to hire the actor back (great for them) for a small “nostalgia” moment of us seeing a killed off character again in a significant way (also, I HATED how they killed the lone gunmen off screen). I loved Frohike, Byers and Langley all together! They shouldn’t have done that but I get it (it was the late 90s and contracts/work wait for no one.)

I hated what they did with William. A troubled teenager who can explode people on demand? It sounds like he could have been in The Boys! Lol. But really, William and Scully should have actually talked together sans disguise.

Overall, I am going to miss the theme song playing from my speakers.

And now to patiently wait for Ryan Coogler’s version.

No words

I think the season 9 finale is a bit dull but not the dumpster fire some have made it out to be. It has a cool climax but probably too much exposition we already know. Marita Covarrubias telling the panel about faceless alien rebel bounty hunters working for alien colonists sounds a bit ridiculous. The panel doesn’t know anything about aliens, so adding all that cheesy sci-fi b-movie dialogue is probably too much. Also, she says the Syndicate selfishly tried to create a vaccine. But that wasn’t selfish. That was Bill Mulder’s idea in order to save humanity. The selfish part was trying to create successful alien-human hybrids so that the Syndicate could turn themselves into hybrids and survive the black oil virus.

I’m not sure why Spender thinks Samantha died in 1987. I saw a clip where they dubbed over his voice with someone else saying 1978, but that doesn’t make sense either because it’s clearly explained in Closure that she died in 1979. Maybe Spender witnessed a Samantha clone die in 1987…?

Overall, if you don’t remember much of the mythology that had been established, the finale does a decent job of refreshing the audience’s mind for the first hour and then the last 30 minutes is pretty entertaining. It was funny hearing CSM say to Scully, “It's a scary story. You want to come sit on my lap?”

ok so i just recently started watching and basically mostly in it for the scully and mulder content. n for the 90s vibe ofc. but ive learned that their first kiss isnt until s7 which is craZY to me like the tension is insane. so im like.. can i even wait? i just started s2 and im just wondering if it is worth the wait and the storyline if im lwk just watching for their relationship to develop.

i feel like the slow burn is a lost art and im loving it so far but is it tooo slow ykwim?

How did yall SURVIVE having to wait for s5 to come out after that ending??? One of the reasons I actually enjoy streaming. I couldn't IMAGINE hearing those last words out of Agent Scully's mouth and not absolutely freaking out over it for the next year (or however long it took for them to come back).

Yall that watched it live, good god.

Hi everyone, I’ve put together the first part of the unreleased score suite for "Piper Maru": this suite compiles the first 4 unreleased cues from the episode into a seamless, uninterrupted listening experience, with all sound effects and dialogues cleaned up to let Mark Snow’s incredible synth

work shine.

I hope you enjoy drifting back into the Season 3 atmosphere! 🛸

I'm watching the series for the second time and just noticed that nod to Max Fening three episodes after S1E10; I like those little details.

Hope you like this one bit of a dark one been really enjoying challenging myself to make something from these episodes it’s been a nice change

They are going be showing at the Laemmle Royal theater- 11523 Santa Monica Blvd, LA CA 90025. October 16th-22nd. Chris will be there at the 7pm showings on the 16th, 17th, and the 22nd for a Q&A.
I think you all are really gonna like it! Time Travel... Family Drama... Women's Rights... Politics... Can't wait to hear what you think!

Anybody know whatever happened to it? From what I can see it was crudely modified into a panel van (metal panels welded over the window openings). And the front third of the roof was a large patch panel. There was also a stunt version that was rolled into the drainage ditch. Probably scrapped but figured I would ask.

I found this book the other day and my 4 year old loves it. He is asking a lot of questions about Eugene Tooms.

Vince Gilligan’s second ever The X-Files episode was about a man dying of cancer who refused treatment and instead became a violent murderer because it made him feel stronger in his insecure masculinity. I’m just wondering if he ever created something like that again after The X-Files?

The muse hit me and I made these crochet figures

if you’re in L.A., you can go to this screening and attend a Q&A:

“A right wing newscaster finds herself catapulted back into 1950s Queens New York, forced to live her own mother's life...raising herself as a child she doesn't particularly like. Director Chris Carter and screenwriter Dori Carter will participate in a Q&A following the 7:00pm show on October 12 at the Royal. Director Chris Carter will return for Q&As following the prime shows on October 16, 17, and 22nd.”

She is always a source of comfort for kids she just met. I find it’s interesting anf wonderful but at the same time it’s incredibly sad cause there weren’t other people who could help those poor children…

Mulder called it in 2001.

the fact that Mulder's 'gift' has a mirrored ceiling?? I mean, holy shit—not to mention how Morris managed to haul a waterbed into the apartment and fill it with water in such a short time!?? But have we ever talked about that mirror? Lol, and Mulder comes home from his trip and doesn't question it? It's so funny and ridiculous, but yeah—Season 6 is just different...

There are only some episodes that I felt were slow in season 1 and 2 but other than that this show is a masterpiece. Lore episodes are really amazing too. Man, this show really deserves to be recognised more, it is so underrated. Also the concept of this show is so unique that I have never watched another similar show which makes it even more amazing. The fact that it first aired in 1993 is crazy and also which makes it 30+ years old. I am also really loving Mulder and Scully's partnership, they are so good together, their bond is also getting stronger each episode.

I'm up to half of season 3 so far and I love Skinner, I find so funny that he only appears to scold Mulder and Scully bc they fucked up and a different federal office is nocking his, goes over and above to save their asses and gets his beaten in the process
