>no skinwalker episode>no wendigo episode>no demon possession>no cosmic horrorOverall the show disappointed me with respect to the thrill/scare factor, I kept expecting more. Only a few episodes actually pull it off. I had to switch my intentions for watching the show towards comf and character appreciation
>>215143902Half the point is the humanization of the threats
>>215143920Didnt know that's what I was in for
>>215143930Early '90s pre-MiB lead the way into the 2000s. Buffy was the first biggie to even have a firm overarching plot.
The show is about scully being undecided about fucking mulder
The creature living under the escalator is an image you don't quickly forget.
>¡Cuidado, hay chupacabras!>Las chupacabras son peligrosas
>>215143956Babylon 5.
there are no real aliens in the entire series.
>>215144130The movie has them
>>215144163nope. those are hybrids the syndicate created using the black goo to impregnate the women they "abducted"
>>215144219But they are in an alien space ship, which flies away. Piloted by hybrids? Were both on the ship?
>>215143902Where was Chris Carter getting his shit from? I always was under the impression he had three letter agency contacts feeding him stuff
>>215144242the feds controlled the ship. "aliens" and their offshoots can't handle the cold which is why the syndicate stored them there.
>>215144269Damn
>>215144130there is an agreement amongst the world powers that they must kill any alien they come into contact with. Roswell was the last real actual alien they came across.
>>215144130>>215144318The show suffers from writers compulsively injecting nihllist plot points into a story which is anti-nihilist in its message and contentAll the victories are hollow
>>215143902They had actual demons, Bruce Campbell played one in season 6's "Terms of Endearment" episode, season 2's had "Die Hand Die Verletzt" where a Satanic cult of teachers is possessed by Satan in the end to commit suicide
The show works under the premise that things have to go back to the status quo by the end of the episode. So things have to be restrained to a point. You can't reveal demons being real during an episode because you can't put that cat back in the bag. It's like the simpsons suddenly becoming wealthy somehow, you know they're going to be back to where they started by the end of the show.
>>215143902>no demonic possessionThe necrophile episode and sequel.>no cosmic horrorFace on the moon episode.
