Guess who's back ?
Am I the only one here enough of and oldfag to remember this show ?
Anybody else excited about he re-opening of the X-files ?
I'm going to watch it, but I'm not expecting anything.
>>65005733
>Am I the only one here enough of and oldfag to remember this show ?
Dude what? What kind of question is that?
You do realize that (young) people find out about old things relatively frequently, right? Especially successful TV shows. Old sitcoms, not so much, but sci-fi is a safe bet.
duddleh duddleh duddleh duddleh dow dow dow dow
>>65005733
Late twenties here - me and all my pals are watching it for the first time. It's great. Was a bit too young to enjoy it first time around - I just remember it as the show that was on after the Simpsons.
Also, very red-pilled show, could not be made today.
Scully was already a bit of a Mary-sue to begin with, but she still had vulnerabilities. If it was made today, she would be an untouchable robot, and Mulder would be a black side character who fucks her from time to time.
You know I'm right bros.
>yfw Mulder's ringtone is the x-files theme
milf gillian makes me feel all tingly in my pants
I would very much like to "fuck" her if you know what I mean
>>65005867
In the first season, i think its the episode with the ghost that protects the secretary, we see who moulder and scully would have been if the show was made today. They meet two other agents who mirror them, a black guy and an indian woman.
So glad they made the show before all the PC bullshit became powerful
Does that mean the lone gunmen are also coming back?
>>65006016
and will they lampshade the 9/11 episode that aired in 2000?
>>65005983
>So glad they made the show before all the PC bullshit became powerful
Totally agreed. The show really is a relic of a better time - things are so bad now, the 90's sensibilities seem like they were held 4000 years ago.
>>65005781
I must say, when I saw the last movie, it was a very good close to the series. It made you sad to watch it go but you kind or realized that life had to move on.
This is probably one of my favourite series of all time though. I loved watching Mulder and Scully as I grew up and there has never been anything else that quite came close to it.
I think it's gonna be great seeing the original team back in action. One of my favourite duos of all time. I'm sure they'll pull it off. They got the right stuff.
i'm just hoping it's not utter shit, and chris carter is prone to such productions of late
I consider it my favorite series and I still rewatch episodes from the early seasons from time to time, but I couldn't watch anything past s7 and never finished it
where can the ep 1 be watched, if it can? please provide me a link for it or i'll be disappointed even more with this board
hi
>>65006074
I think they will! 9/11 is apparently a core story component, and there is no way they can ignore their prophetic episode!
>>65005867
>>65005983
I don't really watch modern shows. Has television really become this bad ?
>>65006089
Ever noticed how moulder leads scully? He puts his hand on her back and leads her from location to location often. The jews would never allow such prominent gender assertion today.
early reviews say it's shit, the leaks were right
>>65005867
Same. Started season 4 and gonna get through as much as i can. Already one of my fav shows desu
>>65006211
I check in from time to time - modern television is literally poison. Behind every plot point and character relationship is some freaky agenda, not good!
>>65005733
Watched it weekly as a kid. been rewatching it over the last couple years late at night on basic cable. Quite hyped, yes.
> Filmed in California
> Meh
>>65006212
I have noticed that! All I can think of when I see that is if it was produced in our current year, how much "the internet would be breaking" due to the show's "blatant misogyny."
>>65006339
Exact same spot.
What's the best X-Files episode and why is it Bad Blood?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IST1OlesWTg
>>65005733
by the trailer, it feels very different than the old series. Feels like a random action flick. Cobra 11 or CSI with UFOs
>It's a Mulder and Scully arrive at a crime scene in a pine forest, in the early morning, in the rain, get out of their late 80s American sedan wearing trenchcoats and open their umbrella episode
literally the most comfy show in existence for the first 3 seasons
>>65006492
The digital filming really takes away the great atmosphere the show had - hopefully it still is good though!
>>65006480
Is that the one that's pretty much The Thing?
>>65006496
British Columbia was basically the third lead of the show for the first few years.
>>65006496
Is S3 the best X-files season?
>>65005733
Loved a lot of the old show. Don't think the new season will be great though.
>>65005733
Will the intro theme be the same?
>>65005867
I don't really see how Scully is a Mary Sue character... There are multiple situations where she gets completely fucked and doesn't know how to deal with it.
>>65006586
5 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 4 > 6 > 7 > 8
3 was good but it also had a lot of really bad MOTW
What is the worst X-Files season or episode?
>>65006699
What stands out about S5?
>>65006729
Season 9 was a mess
>>65006496
That Ford Mondeo
>>65006699
It's somehow very appropriate that you left Season 9 off this list. Better that it never existed.
>>65006672
I said she "sort of" was - you know... she was a doctor, a scientist, a detective, all in one ... but at the end of the day, she is still far more vulnerable woman than any main female character on tv today.
>>65006659
Confirmed.
>>65005733
>Scully is blonde
DROPPED

>>65006540
It's "mulder and scully each recall the same events differently"
>>65006788
Right? And then all the Crown Victorias.
>>65006847
I think thats just the lighting. In Season 01 Ep 00 she pretty much still has red hair, its probably a little less saturated hue though.
>>65006820
>she was a doctor, a scientist, a detective, all in one
She went from med school to Quantico. That happens in real life and she's pretty much what you'd expect from that training.
You could try to say "Why does Mulder always know what everyone's thinking?" while forgetting he bagged a Psychology degree from Oxford.
>>65007105
This.
Have to remember they are FBI Special Agents. They are not run-of-the-mill street cops, they both are highly educated and have areas of expertise.
>>65006999
It'll never be this good again.
>>65006540
no, that's "Frozen"
>>65007105
True enough - you win the point
>>65005733
No I watched and loved the X Files but I don't care anymore I'm not really interested.
>>65006211
No it hasn't. This is the same board that thought Star Wars was trying to brainwash little white girls
So you're saying he has become some kind of metal man? Because that only happens in the movies, Agent Scully.
>>65007364
>Her name is Rey Mixer
yea nothing to see here goys
>>65007522
Race Mixer ? For real ?
>>65007522
>>65007620
Mixer is a design term indicating a color palette to be used for a specific character.
>its an army veterans episode
>its an abandoned war vessel episode
>its a Scully gets battered for disbelieving episode
>its a Scully loses all her loved ones systematically episode
>its a religious episode where Mulder's the sceptic

wrong, wasnt me
the best alien themed episodes?
>>65007643
Sure it is JJ
>>65006820
I see what you mean but that's not exactly uncommon if she came from a background of forensics. My favorite episode which was firmly Skully based was the one where her dad died because her vulnerability was compelling, it's so sad that modern television is so pushed by retarded feminists that female characters that go through bad things are not good. It's like the shit that happens whenever anything bad happens to a female character in GOT.
>>65007710
Mytharc deals heavily on these
then there's Jose Chung's From Outer Space

I'll probably watch it, just to see Anderson working.
God, her older MILF form is damn near lethal to me. Harder than diamond, every time.
>>65007763
Same here! Very memorable episode - also it was freaky as shit when she woke up and saw him sitting there!
>>65007863
Thanks homo
>it's a God is real episode
Is CSM supposed to be reappearing in flashbacks only or are they officially retconing the horrible finale?
>>65006016
Mate, they died.
>>65008160
>In the comic book adaptation of the series The X-Files Season 10—which takes place after the events of The X-Files: I Want to Believe—it is revealed that the Lone Gunmen are alive and well, having faked their deaths during the events of "Jump the Shark". The group was aided by the FBI and have since been working underground, aiding the US government; for instance, Langly mentions that he was responsible for the Stuxnet virus in 2010.[3]
>>65006480
Bad Blood killed my sides. Funniest episode by far.
>>65008088
>>65008159
Apparently he survived somehow, he'll be there.
>>65005733
YES! you are literally the only one here enough of an oldfag to remember this show
very good thread you poop ass butt
kys irl plz
Will Frank Black be involved?
>>65008300
The only thing I can think is his death triggered him to become one of those super soldiers, like Billy Miles and what almost happened to Mulder.
>>65008206
:o
Thanks internet friend, I missed them dearly.
>>65007656
>it's a Scully remains deeply skeptical despite years of supernatural experiences episode
>>65008351
Probably not.
A return of Millennium could be pretty cool though, but probably never going to happen.
>Its a scully gets hit in the back and falls down episode
>It's a Scully and NOT son episode
debating whether to watch it all it once or sequentially as it's released.
..still havent watched star wars and it's turning out to be a social hindrance (there wasn't any to being with hahahahahaha)
>tfw you got to meet n greet Scully in her prime and rememberhow she smelled

I've only seen a few episodes of X-Files. I'd like to marathon the whole series but the fact that it's 200 something episodes and over 150 hours kinda turns me off.
Is it worth it?
>>65008637
Yes!
>>65008637
What a lightweight.
>it's a brady bunch episode
So anyone else expecting they'll make a reference to 4chan at somepoint.
Mr. Robot did it after all and The Lone Gunmen are confirmed.
>>65008637
Watch season 1
>>65008637
You can seriously watch the first 6 seasons and then stop. Once the T-1000 replaces Mulder the show goes so downhill. Well actually to be fair to Robert Patrick the show went to shit around the time they did the cringey video game episode.
>>65008637
1-3 are great
4-5+movie are worth watching
I stopped during 6
>>65008776
Robert Patrick fit well into the series IMO, but things had started to go down beforehand. Still his season is watchable IMO. Unlike S9.
What does someone who doesn't want to watch the shitty later seasons need to know coming into this? Anything?
>>65008719
BRAVO VINCE
>it's a Bince Gilligan episode
>it's a meth man episode
I've finished Season 5, should I the rest of the series and the movies? I keep reading that they're shit.
>>65009285
*watch
>>65009285
I remember enjoying both movies. The second one probably wasn't great but I thought it was a good ending to the series.
As for the other seasons it was too long ago for me to remember.
>>65008886
You need to know how Scully ends up looking
I watched it when it first aired and I am currently making my way back through them - so far I am on 11 of season 2.
I stopped when it became majorly soap opera like but Mulder was still in it.
Why were season 6 onwards so bad?
Why was season 9 so bad?
Weird thing is, watching these I remember every episode vividly, including the filler ones like the vampire girl who kills herself.
I couldn't even tell you half the plot of breaking bad as a comparison.
>>65009485
Good?
>>65008886
I think if you watched both movies you should be fine.
Just watch the movies.
Is that second movie worth watching? Does it have any plot related stuff going on or is it a filler episode stretched out in movie format?
I hope it's good but the X-Files was special because it really did reflect the 90s so very well.
People were really gullible 20 years ago, I still remember the telephone ads for Psychics like "Miss Cleo", our governments hiding the existence of aliens and all that wonderful whacky stuff. Televisions shows like A Current Affair had stories on Aliens.
Fucking terrorism and GWB pretty much brought Americans out of insane conspiracy theories and more logical ones.
>>65009285
>>65009511
6 is okay, they try to wrap up some major storylines involving Mulder's sister and the Syndicate
7 is worth seeing as its Duchovny's final season, so if you like him try to watch it (there are some memorable episodes here)
8 is terrible because the Doggett and Scully tandem doesn't work well, Mulder shows up in a few episodes but its not the same
9 has Reyes and her partnership with Doggett isn't that good as Mulder and Scully, just bad
>>65009578
I think it focuses more one the characters and their stories and doesn't necessarily have that good of a story on its own. But if enjoy the characters it's worth the watch.
>>65009632
Thanks., shall plod on.
24 episodes a season is mental though.
>>65007270

>be yuropean

>>65006211
just a meme bro
>>65006729
every chapter after season 8
>>65009632
Alternatively:
6 is pretty fucking good. Still riding the hype (and quality) of the first movie, but the mytharc starts getting lost.
7 is less good. Agreed it's worth seeing for Mulder's departure, but there's way too many shit comedy episodes (for transparency, I really like the earlier 'funny' episodes).
8 > 7. Maybe controversial, but Doggett is great. His relationship with Scully is actually good (if you can get your nostalgia off Mulder's dick for 2 minutes). Mytharc is okay. Some bad monster eps, but also some really good dark ones that are better than anything in S07.
9 is boring. I like Reyes, and in another place/time The Doggett and Reyes show could've worked but Scully is always hovering in the background and her storyline is tedious.
>it's a Kryceck is up to his old tricks again episode
>tfw can't bring self to finish S6
I've heard it's all downhill from here.
Is it a good series? I'm surprised I never saw it as a kid just from sheer osmosis like I did Friends, TNG, Frasier, Cheers, etc., seems like it'd fit right in there with the stuff my dad was watching in the late nineties/early 2000s.
Is it hit and miss, and should only watch select episodes, or are there overarching plots throughout seasons?
>>65006729
The monster of the week episode where they fight house cats.
Its one of the funniest episodes, and its not intentional

The last movie was a monster of the week, but not even really a monster and it just wasn't interesting. The only good parts were Scully and Mulder reconnecting, and even that felt stiff and forced.

Im hype as fuck, and youre all a bunch of poofters
All seasons of The X-Files are available now on Amazon Instant Video free to anyone with Amazon Prime™.
>>65015384
Amazon Prime™ really is an astounding service.
I've been watching them on the new blu-ray release myself.
I never saw most of the monster of the week episodes before, I was only ever interested in the myth arc. I've been surprised by how good the early episodes were.

Everything was so goddamn mysterious, and we all believed the Truth was out there.
But now we're just all angry and cynical and believe the government to be less malicious, and more... incompetent.
Fuck the 21st century.

What in the fuck is happening in that webm?
Hey guys since this is a x files thread I was hoping someone could help me out I'm not 100% sure if this was on the x files but I'm pretty sure it is anyways there was this one episode I saw and there was these guys hunting in the woods when one of the hunters finds this tree with a face on it I remember this scaring the shit out of me and even gave me nightmares I also remember these things running through the woods coming towards the hunter when he saw the tree that's all I can remember it will be great if someone can remember that episode thanks
Okay after watching every single episode starting on the first one thanks to a recomendation here on /tv/ I'm sitting at S08E08 and I don't think I'm gonna have time to watch the rest of it entirely before the next season/reboot comes out (I started on September 2013).
Which ones do I watch? What do I skip?
>>65019158
Detour
i watched it when mommy let me stay up past 9.00 pm. i'm 26 so i caught some tail end episodes. i never saw it enough to follow any plot, i just liked the alien detective show. there was a lot of sci fi on tv in the 90's, i remember seeing this show and "the outer limits" and thinking they were badass as fuck.
>>65009589
Yep.
Shows like Unsolved Mysteries and the X-files took over. It was not uncommon for major news networks to have ufo or mysterious creature type of segments. I think most humans during the 90s believed in psychic shit and whatnot.
The 90s was the last decade ever for that stuff. It's too easy not to believe in magic now that we've all got cameras and the internet.
>>65005781
Feeling same.
>>65019218
Holy shit thank you so much I saw this episode in elementary school and I've been trying to find it to this day I'm 22 now thanks so much you just made my night
Part of the reason those earlier X-Files seasons work so well these days has a lot to do with that 90s aesthetic. Those old computers with Windows 95 and the grainy filming and the actual guts to put some of the stuff on TV is lost in today's world. I don't know, within the first five seconds of the new trailer I knew something was completely off. It was almost too... bright or something for an X-Files thing. I don't give a fuck Chris Carter: The X-Files is grainy, dark, and edgy. The new show isn't going to be any of those.
>>65007364

Its not like movies try to have deeper meanings and symbolism though right?

>>65020563
EVERYTHING DIES
>>65019630
This is how I feel. The show is never going to hit those notes of fear and paranoia and isolation in the face of the unknown like it did back then. Real life events have eclipsed some of the shows themes. The old show actually feels kind of naive now, and could probably only have taken place when it did.
Plus they were young and attractive back then.
>>65019200
X-Cops is one of my favorites.
I'm working through Season 9 now. You can do it, if you have no life.
I'd say only go for the Mytharc episodes, but some of MOTW episodes were still pretty good. I just watched Lord of the Flies, really felt like classic X-Files for me.
ayyy lmao

There is one main arch about aliens government conspiracy and bunch of monster of the week 'fillers'. I'd say it's about half/half.
