the x-files s/d

This show was really great sometimes. This movie will probably be shitty like the first one.

i'm excited but how exactly are they going to pick up from the show's (admittedly rather lame) finale? mulder & scully weren't even in the fbi anymore! also there was/is an impending alien colonization in 2012! i seriously doubt they're gonna reboot the mythology and *fanboy meltdown* WARNING! SMOKE DETECTED! CHECK CIRCUITS

Well it's going to be a monster-of-the-week so they'll probably just sweep as much of that stuff under the rug as they possibly can. I didn't know that Mulder and Scully weren't in the FBI anymore but I guess there's no reason they can't be seeking the truth in their retirement, right?

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?

yeah that's a first season ep...i think the guy was played by tony shaloub? maybe i'm wrong

yep that's the one! totally did not realize that was monk.

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.

The July 25 release date would put "X-Files" up against "Step Brothers," a comedy starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and an untitled comedy starring Ice Cube.

9/11 killed the X-Files?

Does that mean the Cold War killed AfterM*A*S*H?

search "x-cops"

episode filmed in the style of cops

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

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.

i want something rad and freaky like a werewolf or a flukeman or that eugene tooms guy

who else wants to put their d ick in agent skully's p ussy?? (Gillian Anderson is gorgeous)

billy connolly??!

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 just really, really hope there's a monster in it.

p.v.m.i.c., obv

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.

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 you should make a "mix tape" of the best x-files episodes and then i will seek them out and download them.

i would really like it if they'd repackage and sell separate box sets of the mythology episodes and the standalone episodes

ya

i second that emotion.

im not latebloomer but

JOSE CHUNGS FROM OUTER SPACE
SQUEEZE/TOOMS
HUMBUG
CLYDE BRUCKMANS FINAL REPOSE
PILOT/DEEP THROAT <<<< underrated
BEYOND THE SEA

clyde bruckman episode is fuckin dope

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.

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.

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.

did xzibit change his name?

always had a soft spot for space, the one about the "face" on mars

that was like the most boring episode ever.
