Was season 10 really necessary?
>>
Absolutely not. Is there a man who lost it more than Chris Carter after the Syndicate arc?
>>
>>66762567
Maybe?
>>
I loved 3 episodes, I hated 2, was ok with one.

The episode about were-human was fantastic, will rewatch.
>>
>>66762567
no.

and to make it worse it could have been actually good. the whole 'govt is behind it' story seemed pretty cool. i was really hoping they would wrap up the x files in a cool miniseries kind of way.

but nope. 3 of the 6 were monster of the fucking week.

That episode was gold. Rest of the season so far didn't gave me any impression that I should keep watching.

>>66762896
I don't get the admiration this episode gets. To me it was merely alright.
>>
>>66762996
That episode was quintessential 90's X-Files campyness.
>>
>>66763084
Not only that but the episode went out of it's way not to explain the motives behind the actual killer (unlike every single procedural cop show out there).
>>
It was entirely justified by episode 3 alone.
>>
Yes
It needs a sincere conclusion but CC and Fox won't and will basically kill its heart by eventually going on without DD & GA

Also i'm pissed at all these shitty shows like Charmed are rebooting because of its success,This NEEDED and ending you fuckfaces.
>>
>>66762567
If it's what I think it is, Season 10 is a second attempt to shift the center roles onto new characters. If done properly, Scully and Mulder could move on into being more shadowy figures who only appear occasionally.

I loved it and loved every episode, I had no hopes either since the movie was shit

My only problem is that it was in hi def
I miss that comfy 90s filter of the old ones

Fuck you,they are xfiles.
Go watch supernatural pigfuck.

Necessary? Yes. Did it deliver? Not by a long shot.

The old ones were shot on 35mm film, that's what gave them that look. S10 was shot on digital video... shame, would've looked awesome on 35mm.
>>
>>66764501
Pretty much
Ep 3 and 4 were the only ones i liked.

Mulder & Scully barely had any screentime together and Skinner was pretty much just an episode credit.

Too much Meta too.
>>
is xfiles worth getting into?
i've never watched an episode but ppl rec'd it to me after i said i like twin peaks
i think they are just associating it with comfy 90s shows but i'd be OK with that
>>
>>66764575
why would they do this
>>
>>66764375
sadly right.

i predicted a new series with bimbo male and dr unlikable.
>>
>>66764714
Digital is cheaper and most people (read: plebes) don't really notice the difference/care.
>>
>>66764714
>>66764786
On a Hollywood budget (even a tv budget) it really makes no difference. But apparently there's many people in hollywood who don't want to keep using film for some reason.

That explains why I like the first couple of seasons. Something about the picture quality is way comfy.

X-Files was inspired by TP and Kolchak

It starts off with a similar premise to twin peaks but evolves into its own entity by being about conspiracys and different monsters every other week

If you are a paitent person and don't mind 90s cheese/Effects its amazing,Its literally a mini movie each week.

Anything shot on film automatically gets a huge boost in comfyness.

Yes definitely. I was like you and I marathoned the first 7 seasons and the movie in a couple of months. Totally worth it. Will finish S8,9,10 and shit movie before April hopefully.
Monster of the week episodes > myth

probly. He said after he is done with the episodes he might go back to the bad episodes he skipped.
>>
>>66764836

Digital is more practical to shoot with, it's not just about it being cheaper. The only ones who hold on to film are mostly nostalgia fags and people thinking film has a certain "feel". You can even make digital material look like film if you want too
>>
>>66767309
The advantages of digital are overrated.
And making digital "look like film" only makes it look like crap.
It's as much about nostalgia as using sugar is nostalgia compared to using sweetener. Shit metaphor but you get the gist.

>comfy

So goddamned comfy. There's something about seeing them conduct their investigations without any modern tech that makes it so appealing. Could be the nostalgia talking but to me the first 3 seasons are some of the comfiest TV ever.

Of coursh not.

And I bitched about it every day on /tv/ until the season premiere. Why does the entertainment business need to reboot/recycle everything? It pissed me off.

Anyway, I did watch the 10 episodes and I enjoyed them. But they still should have left it alone.
>>
>>66764697
I'm watching the first season now, just finished watching the 2nd one with Seth Green. Feels typical 90s, Gillian looks so young after having watched Hannibal. Definitely worth watching.
>>
>>66762598
he never had it in my opinion
i've literally never understood the fanbase of this show
