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?
― Roz, Thursday, 1 November 2007 06:58 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah that's a first season ep...i think the guy was played by tony shaloub? maybe i'm wrong
― latebloomer, Thursday, 1 November 2007 07:02 (sixteen years ago) link
yep that's the one! totally did not realize that was monk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_Light_%28The_X-Files_episode%29
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.

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
― latebloomer, Monday, 31 March 2008 11:09 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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 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.
― mitya, Sunday, 13 July 2008 15:31 (fifteen years ago) link
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, Sunday, 13 July 2008 18:48 (fifteen years ago) link
latebloomer you should make a "mix tape" of the best x-files episodes and then i will seek them out and download them.
― s1ocki, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:25 (fifteen years ago) link
i would really like it if they'd repackage and sell separate box sets of the mythology episodes and the standalone episodes

Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation. Mulder: Why are you telling me that? Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.
― max, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Not latebloomer either but:
Eve Blood Anasazi Pusher Bad Blood The Pine Bluff Variant
But Clyde Bruckman might be the best one, and the second season's really consistently good.
― clotpoll, Sunday, 13 July 2008 22:57 (fifteen years ago) link
I'd add:
Ice E.B.E. Duane Barry/Ascension One Breathe Die Hand die Verletzt Folie a Deux Paper Hearts Tithonous (a sequel, of sorts, to Clyde Bruckman)
Some fans will recommend "Post-Modern Prometheus" but in my opinion AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.
