the x-files s/d

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.

not for me!

vahid u trippin

but definitely not as bad as the "fight club" one.

Space's reputation as worst episode ever is truly undeserved (same for El Mundo Gira)

Humbug is the best

same dude, Darin Morgan, wrote Blood, Humbug, Jose Chung and Clyde Bruckman...and has done pretty much nothing since then

i've spent a lot of time this afternoon looking at x-files "best and worst episode" lists, and i'm a little disturbed to find a lot of my favorites are on "worst" lists ... see also "genderbender", "el mundo gira" and "firewalker"

My top "mythology" episodes:

E.B.E.
Erlenmeyer Flask
Little Green Men
Duane Barry/Ascension/One Breath
Colony/Endgame
Anasazi/Paperclip/The Blessing Way
Nisei/731
Piper Maru/Apochrypha

My top "standalone" epsisodes:

Squeeze/Tooms
Beyond The Sea
The Host
Die Hand Die Verletzt
Irresistible
Humbug
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
War of the Coprophages
Grotesque
Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space” (single best episode, hands-down)
Quagmire
Home

What does X-philes thinks of "The Unnatural," the baseball episode?

genbderbender is totally underrated!

that scene with the ritual in the barn is so creepy

Can we agree the one with the dude who "likes" (they didn't go all the way to making him a necrophiliac) dead people was pretty shit? Even had a "sorry this isn't actually an X-File but's it's just as scary, right?" disclaimer by Mulder at the end.

Bad Blood

!!! yes all time

in no order

Bad Blood
Squeeze/Tooms
Die Hand Die Verletzt
Irresistible
X-Cops
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
War of the Coprophages
Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space”
The Amazing Maleeni (just for Ricky Jay)

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chris Carter has expressed his ambition to make one more film, if I Want to Believe proves to be a success. He suggests that this film would go back to the mythology and focus on the alien invasion, due to occur on December 22, 2012, which was revealed in the final episode of the series.[30]

shit

thew alien mythology arc shit went south after season 3 but they dug that hole so they might as well wrap it up somehow. it might work in a movie form, who knows. i liked the first movie ok.

i find it hard to believe anyone watched the last two seasons. no scully or mulder?

Are you kidding? The audience that provides ratings for the Sci-Fi Channel's primetime line-up also watches the broadcast networks...

x-ost

scully was in the last two seasons plenty, but more as a upporting character. but yeah, the show was just almost impossible to watch by then. it was really sad, like seeing a family member die slowly to some horrible disease.

I liked Robert Patrick, though. He tried his best.

awesome cant wait to watch these... i was a watcher when it was on but not really that faithful and i'm pretty sure i missed a ton.

i did see that HORRIBLE last episode tho :( :( :(

I really hate what they did to Scully in the last two seasons. She was always sobbing and crying her eyes out. Robert Patrick was the best thing about the last two years, despite how inconsistent his character was (all the writers' fault, obviously).

There is a later mythology episode, "Tempus Fugit/Max" which harks back to the really early UFO epsodes, that's definitely worth checking out.

Slocki otm that final episode was ridic, especially that pukesome final scene where they were in bed, wth was that all about.

I like an ep I think is called "Hiding in the Light"? About a creepy telemarketing company that was mind-controlling its staff and customers. I guess I related to it being on a helpdesk at the time.

The episode's named Folie a Deux ("a madness shared by two") - the manager was a giant insect.

So, this movie's out in a couple of days? No buzz whatsoever?

Talk to my Dad. He's psyched.

scifi xfiles marathon today. now i am mildly psyched for the movie. mission accomplished.

I am kind of excited about the movie, but this may be due, in part, to my longtime crush on David Duchovny.

this is really coming out in two days? it's getting dumped, it seems. maybe they're hoping for word of mouth.

it's kidn of weird to think that this show had such a grip on popular culture for as long as it did. I didn't see any of the last few years either, they really squandered their good will. I'll only go see this if people tell me it's great.

well i just watched the trailer and that turned me right off

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

I can't believe no one responded to this yet. Check it out!:

Four sets of mythology eps, but no standalone sets. I think this series is best served by Greatest Hits compilations. I recently rewatched the series up through season 6 or so, and, although there was a lot of good stuff that held up well, an awful lot of it was lackluster.

Well, that almost worked. Super job, bbcode!!!

o sweet haircare thanks

Although, in retrospect, it might've seemed lackluster in the same way that The French Connection seems lackluster to me now: it was such a trailblazer that all of its good stuff has been pilfered and done better in the years since, leaving the original work looking a bit like a cliche-riddled husk.

mulder stalks a murderer on a moving train!
scully meets the remnants of a leper colony!

Nisei/731

the dude with the garrote was pretty badass. does he reappear in any other episodes?
