An X Files thread

I'd seen a few episodes of the X Files here and there, but there seemed to be a lot going on I didn't understand, expecially the whole "alien" thing. I needed to watch the series from the beginning. So recently I acquired the first three seasons on DVD. I've watched all of the first season and about five episodes of the second. I'd have to say it might very well be the most brilliant work of television to come out of the nineties. It's very dark and cerebral. They don't explain everything that happens. There's a lot you just have to figure out for yourself.

I have a couple of questions. First, at what point does the X-Files movie fit in the series? Somebody told me it fits between the third and fourth seasons, but he wasn't 100% sure.

I also heard that Gillian Anderson is (or perhaps was) the most sought after celebrity on the internet; that more searches were done on her than anyone else. Anybody care to comment?
 
Can't really answer your questions, Drew.

But....(as shocking as this sounds), Scully was in a very brief tickle scene. I think it was in the final season. The F.B.I. had given Scully a drug that made her "stupid". (their words)
Anyway, she gets really silly while she's in this hotelroom with 2 of the agents(guy and girl), and reaches out to tickle the girl at one point. The whole thing only lasts 3 seconds, but damn, I wish I kept it on tape.

Jesus, you must have spent a fortune (assuming you bought them new). as for the movie, I dont know where it fits in, but, if you get the Season box set that has Bad Blood on it, that has to be the best episode out of the entire series

Yeah, I checked out the price at Suncoast. They wanted $150 per season. Same price as Star Trek The Next Generation and Babylon 5. No way was I going to pay that much. Instead I went to E·Bay and got em for between $35-45 a season.

I went and found this website that lists all the episodes. Bad Blood is in Season 5 and the movie occurs between seasons 5 and 6.
 
I enjoyed the series up until when David Duchovny left. It just wasn't the same without Mulder. And the movie wasn't too bad - nothing fantastic for fans, but it could stand alone for people who were unfamiliar with the series. And some of the books based on the series are worth a read, too.
 
I used to be an X-Phile of the highest Calibre. I remember stupid shit like names and places. If you recall the episode called "Pusher" wherein the "mutant of the week" was a guy with a brain tumor which enabled him to persuade people to do things... often kill themselves, making him a "second-hand serial killer" (my words). His name was "Robert Patrick Muldoon, which I found to be quite comical, being a literature buff, and knowing that the character was based on Ken Kesey's character Randall Patrick McMurphy from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Muldoon came back once or twice, as the popular characters often did on the X-Files, a la "Eugene Tooms" and "Worm Boy"
William B. Davis as the Cancer Man was sheer brilliance. Gillian Anderson was the most beautiful woman I'd seen in quite a while (I was young, forgive me!) and Fox Mulder... well, I'm not ashamed to say I wanted to be him.

There were three of four seasons after the film. The film was pretty much where the series jumped the shark, if it wasn't when they started talking about bees and cloning Samantha... that was creepy.and unfortunately that was about where I stopped watching. While the film was excellent, it was too self-absorbed, and featured too much of what we had already seen, offering no new information, other than a wonderful "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" homage.

It amused me that the guy who replaced Mulder was named Robert patrick 🙄
 
It's all part of the Great Conspiracy, dontcha know...

Yeah, I quit watching for the most part after Mulder was gone from the show. I used to be a rabid X-Phile, but it annoys the crap outta me when they take a good thing and ruin it by tampering with it. WTF, over? If it ain't broke, Ya don't F***ing FIX it! :sowrong: Grrr!

Besides, it was all part of the Illuminati's disinformation strategy... what better way to hide than in plain sight? "Conspiracy? There's no conspiracy, you freak! You're paranoid from watching too much X-Files!"

Oh, and Gillian Anderson? Did I mention "YUM!"? Now THERE's a gal that needs to be tickled! She's way up high on my "List".

Could have been fluoride, ritalin or prozac then. 😀

I only saw a few episodes of the X-Files and couldn't stomach any more. They had an annoying tendency to trivialise VERY serious subjects, to the point of tedium. I mean be honest now, who here can treat the idea of abduction seriously if they've seen that claptrap?
 
I was more a fan of Chris Carter's other offering, "Millenium". It was kinda hit-and-miss, but oh my, when it was on--it was brilliant.
 
Actually no, don't click there. That thread is too long and drawn out, with the fluoride bit only being the smallest part. I'll PM you the relevant secion instead.
 
And let me guess, you think that's NOT by design, right?

Coincidence? I think NOT! Invisible Hands, man! Disinformation! Oh wait, no, you're paranoid from watching all those conspiracy shows... nothing to see here, people, move along, move along...

:illogical

Why master Daniel, anyone would think I had a reputation for postulating the unusual. 😀
 
I much preferred the 'monster of the week' approach to the show. The whole alien thing eventually painted itself into a great big convoluted corner, and the final payoff was a big kiss off to the people who had watched the entire run of the series waiting for resolution. Still, it was better than "Project UFO"....🙂
