X-Files

[Podliva]

Vancouver seasons (1-5) are peak television where even the weakest episodes were still carried out by visuals and high production.
Then it went into shit with american-midwife-audience catering, because the whole fist half of season 6 was fucking fanservice.
Season 8 was the only great season afterwards.

As some one who grew up with the x files I'll never get the theme tune out my head.

For people just getting into, I want to remind them off the spin off show called The Lone Gunmen, as I've not seen it mentioned in this thread.
It's about the conspiricy theorists who help out now and again in the main show.
Well worth a watch.

New woke X-Files will star a pajeet and a sista,

 

[Apteryx Retardi]

The original X Files formula doesn't work with all the cell phone cameras and internet around, and a reboot is going to tank regardless of casting. In this case, the niggers and pajeets are probably for the dual purpose of ESG funding, and having rayciss chuds to blame when it inevitably fails.

all the cell phone cameras and internet around,

I used to think that until I tried to get photos of stray kittens around my job, then the magic of Bigfoot's blurry radiation made a lot more sense
"just get a pic of that moving fuzzy thing" is a lot easier said than done

Rewatching ‘Humbug’, Mulder not knowing what the Fiji Mermaid is has to be the single most outrageous bullshit in the entire series.

I recall a couple of times when they needed to explain for the audience and mulder drew the short straw, like one time The Golem was the thing going on and Mulder was all hurrr duurrr whazzzat, me and the lads thought it was bullshit he didn't know of either the movie(s) or just from generally being Spooky Mulder

Then contrast that with Arcadia when Mulder pulls tulpa, a much more obscure spook, out of his ass based on nothing and is right.

Thanks to HeelsvsBabyface mentioning yesterday he was binging The X-Files, I decided to sail the high seas and download the entire series myself.

I still remember watching the first episode when it aired back in 1993. I'd like to thank it for fomenting my decades long extraordinary cynicism of authority, but to be honest it was bound to happen regardless. It was just nicer doing so while watching Special Agent Dana Scully.

At any rate, I absolutely look forward to not watching this rebooted series. Fuck you Chris Carter for allowing this to happen. You gave us the original series and Millennium, and you should have left it at that.

I'm still bumhurt that we never got a Doggett and Reyes spinoff. Or a Doggett solo series. I enjoyed when they had episodes focusing on him, or when he had figure out what weird shit was going on, on his own.

They can cast Elliot Page as Eugene Victor Tooms!

Nah... Austin Butler. Maybe Charlie Heaton. I wonder if Bill Skårsgard would be game, too. I'm only half joking, as these are weird-looking chaps, who are somehow, weirdly attractive. I can't decide if that description fits '90s Doug Hutchison, though.

the T-1000 is really fucking great as some New York dude
that effort he put into literally NEVER blinking in T2 is the amount of effort he puts into New Yorking
at first me and the lads were like "lol t-1000 can't hold his nyc" then we realized he was doing the REAL shit of "I'm holding back my power levels but you get my nigger up and YOUZE GUYZ" and he NYCs the FWUAK out under times of stress
that was some real shit even real NYCers I've known were impressed with once they really got what he was doing

Here I sperg with my tangentially connected connections, but that, to me, is comparable to how Boardwalk Empire watchers from County Coleraine, Londonderry, Norn' Ireland, were impressed with Owen Sleater's (Charlie Cox (Daredevil)) accent.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked both of those characters. Everyone ragged on them -- particularly Reyes -- but I thought they were pretty good. And yeah, a spin-off would have been kino.

I liked them as well, especially Doggett. He was a great addition and both he and Reyes managed to inject a little life into the later seasons. Duchovny was utterly checked out and he brings down every episode he appear in by the end. Anderson wasn’t much better and it was clear she was just picking up a paycheck. So it was nice to see two actors show up and attempt to liven things up a bit. I’ve never understood the hate they got.

I didn't care much for seasons 8 or 9: supersoldier nonsense, Mulder-teasing, and completely forgettable monsters of the week. But Robert Patrick does his best with the material, and I even warmed up to Annabeth Gish's character near the end. Unfortunately, the series concluded immediately after establishing her most interesting characteristic she took a picture of the Brady Bunch house. Still some great episodes here and there.

Lord of the Flies is a comfort episode of mine in the Doggett-Reyes era.
