Just speedran the first 5 episodes, its fucking kinomatographie. Are all 218 episodes worth consooming?
>>215792630just watch for as far as you can. drop it when you're done.don't forget the films though, they are part of the show.
>>215792630Hello, fellow believer. I am currently on 2x19. The show gets better and better.
bump
I watched the whole first season and its hit or miss, some episodes are great whereas others are just boring but I guess thats bound to happen when you pump out 24 episodes a season
>>215792630My fav episode is x cops
>>215792630I've never watched this show but I want to have balls deep unprotacted vaginal intercourse with '90s Gillian Anderson if you can decipher this cryptic unsolved x-files mystery
>>215792630It drops off around S5 and becomes hit or miss around S8-S9 though there's still some great episodesS1-S4 is great though and never gets old on rewatch
The biggest mistake you can make is try to rush through it. Work through them at a gradual pace and enjoy it. Binge culture for television is fucking aids
>>215793275Expectation is the thief of joy. Monster of the week stories with overarching plot is to me the best format for shows to take, rather than everything being overarching. You get comedy episodes, horror episodes, more sci-fi type stuff. But importantly, you give the show the benefit of the doubt. New shows push fear of missing out anxiety, virality, super high expectations. It just disappoints. Where as this stuff could pleasantly surprise you with a banger of an episode even after a shit one.
>>215792630I watched the first 4 or 5 seasons during covid. by my memory my favorite episodes are the incest family one, the one with the telemarketers being held hostage, the one where there's a vampire but he's really just a normal serial killer and he almost kills scully, also the one with the satanic cult sacrificing kids at a school, the one with the retard who impregnates all the women and the one where they go to a freak show and scully shows most of her tits while wearing a bath robe.
>>215793548Can you be a bit clearer on your statement please?
Why has there been so much X-Files posting the last few months?
Season 1 is still my favorite season even though it’s not the best. Just so raw and full of mid 90s feels. Long shots with just Mark Snow’s atmospheric music https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JixoIauqpZM
>>215793706mulder scream mania
I do love how many episodes have that:>*Initial thing happens*>Mulder has batshit theory, well beyond what the basic bit of evidence says.>Mulder is proven right.>Scully is strategically out of the room at the time the shit goes down.Like Mulder could find a praying mantis egg at a crime scene and will instantly be like, "Praying Mantis Man killed this guy, the hokopoko Indians had a myth og the Praying mantis Man." I guffawed in the movie when the giant space ship appeared and Scully's face was conveniently in the snow.
>>215793662Ideallly I would like to rhythmically stimulate my penis inside Gillian Anderson's vagina, sans condon, until I joyously expel my semen inside her followed by lots of kisses and cuddlesSorry for the ambiguity, maybe one day AI will advance far enough to crack my impenetrable code
>>215793810There is just not enough evidence for what you're saying. Come back when you have something tangible to say.
>>215793810IN ENGLISH, DOC!
>>215793633
>>215792630I'm rewatching right now and in season 5. It's been mostly good, but I don't remember how good the last few seasons are. But it's supposed to be mostly kino for at least six seasons. Cheers.
What the fuck happened to television after the 90s? You had all these amazingly unique and original shows (x-files, twin peaks, the star treks, seinfeld, simpsons, futurama, koth, early south park) and then all of a sudden they replaced them with the most generic boring shit imaginable. Was 9/11 responsible for this? Because it all happened around that time.
>>215793633>the incest family one>they go to a freak showHow did I manage to chance up on these epsAlong with the ep where Scully gets nose cancer they're literally the only ones I've seen
>>215794180The industry has constantly cheapened out on writers and fought with actual creatives, moving away from writers towards producer/showrunner led projects. Writers now aren't journeymen who work on various projects, their experience comes from being online. Shows fit algorithms. Budgets are too high.
>>215794180>Was 9/11 responsible for this?Unironically yesThe '90s was the peak of civilisation and a beacon of human optimismThen 9/11 shot civilisation in the cock and we've been there ever since
>>215793577I swear one of the keys to enjoyment is watching several shows at once, and alternating episodes. Stops the binge habit.
>>215792630stop at the end of season 7.
Aliens, really?
>>215792630Gets a little wacky in the later seasons, overall good show.
>>215794530Hey Scully, I got a ufo in my pocket
hey i know that guy
>>215796870shit wrong thread
>>215794530Balls deep baby making every day
>>215792630Sure.
>>215792630Watch the first five seasons and the first movie. The mythology collapses under its own weight in Season 6.
>>215792630For maximum kino, watch the "Aliens Mythology Arc" and every episode above an 8.5 rating on TV Rating graph. Non-stop bangers.See: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_X-Files_episodes (Episodes marked with a double dagger (‡) are episodes in the series' alien mythology arc.)- ratingraph . com/tv-shows/the-x-files-ratings-4727/ (Rating >8.5)
>>215792630Season 6 is a lot better than it gets credit for, despite taking a few episodes to regain its footing after the move to LA. I'm almost at the halfway point of Season 7 and it's pretty decent so far, but there's definitely a staleness creeping in. Sixth Extinction was a total shark-jump moment.
>>215797786Also after season five they had a new production crew and stopped shooting in the Pacific North West. The whole vibe changed dramatically. Season 6 and after is a different show.
>>215792630Just watch all of it stop pretending like you have anything better to do
>>215792630>Are all 218 episodes worth consooming?X-Files was The Simpsons before The Simpsons was. There are far, far more bad episodes than there are good, it's an incredibly front loaded show.Also don't binge because the ongoing story does not exist. They never for even one second had a plan for where anything was going, there's nothing there at all.
>>215793706It’s been going on a lot longer than that, it’s a certified /tv/ classic
>>215797786The mythology ends in season 6. Two Fathers/One Son was basically the movie sequel we never got and might as well have been the series finale. All the alien stuff after that was bullshit.
>>215797878Anon, I know people like it here, but there has been an uptick in threads very recently.
>>215797850Yeah. Moving the production from Vancouver to LA totally killed the atmosphere. >>215797899I stopped watching after Season 5 and "Fight the Future". The cracks in the mythology began appearing as early as "Redux".
>>215797979I'm watching for the first time and just finished the movie. And yeah, the conspiracy shit is so all over the place and honestly, what information do you have? Alien colonists, black goo virus, mutations to that virus, alien bounty hunter, body gas.
>>215797899Two Fathers/One Son is at least funny in a clownshoes way with how their big answers revealed two parter ends with them gathering every single person involved in the Conspiracy in a warehouse and setting it on fire
>>215797979Redux was so stupid and contrived considering the movie had already been completely written and filmed, so the "aliens are just a government hoax" arc could've never been more than a brief digression to keep the mythology going while the movie waited in the wings. At least Scully's cancer actually went somewhere and had consequences.
>>215798069The stuff that you mentioned about the black oil, alien bounty hunters, and bees is all kino. The mythology rocked for those first five seasons. Season 3 > Season 4 > Season 2 > Season 1 > Season 5The mythology peaks in Seasons 2 and 3.
>>215798069It all comes together in the end, more or less. They even bring back shit you probably forgot about like purity control.
>>215798157>is all kinoI never implied it wasn't, I just kind of think that you get a bunch of pieces but they don't always seem to fit well. Like at this point, they basically said:>black goo has been around for millions of years and the other aliens want to colonise earth and get the black goo aliens back but the black goo is causing mutation and alien gestation but we also have bees to deliver the virus and we also have maybe vaccineLike it doesn't feel completely coherent currently
>>215798094I know. I remember how excited I was when I watched the mythology episodes in Seasons 2 and 3. I was really invested. The Monster-of-the Week episodes have aged the best. My favourite episodes are all Monster-of-the-Week episodes.
postan in a zoomer thread
>>215798251Yeah. I give credit to the writing team for helping to pioneer season arcs and TV drama narrative serialisation. "Hill Street Blues" and "Twin Peaks" paved the way.
>>215792630You stop watching after Season 7.
>>215792630Zoomer
The scully puffy vulva arc was top tier.
>>215798391remember the episode where she got a haunted tramp stamp
>>215792630I'm so jealous he got to fuck her all the time
>>215798537he never touched her and she was repulsed by him.
>>215798689Yeah sure
>>215798804
>>215798893are you trying to have me believe that gillian anderson wouldn't have sex with a handsome man she considered a "fucking asshole"?
>>215793548I watched it for she
>>215798937She was put off by his slimy jew smarmyness in his approach. He thinks he's a gift but had to pay for all the good poos he had. Be sincere, Gents, be true.
>>215793871
>>215793548>unprotactedwhy would you skip the tactical gear?
>>215797859Nice r edit spacing. No wonder your opinion is ass
>>215798094>>215798251The black oil caused alien hybrids to chest-burst out of human hosts and grow to full fize very quickly and they behave like a xenomorph, killing indiscriminately.Of what use could such creatures be as "colonists?"
Myth arc is irrelevant. It was always suppose to be a Monster of the week show. “The myth” shit only happened because Anderson got pregnant in the middle of season 1 and they had to create a storyline to separate the two in season 2 when she was extremely pregnant and for when she was gone aka alien abduction. Originally just going to be vague, there are aliens and government knows about it and cover it up and that’s it
>>215792693me at 3x8 and it is pure fucking kino. Scully is hot as fuck and you can see how 1990s America was a paradise, a different world, different people. KINO
Only as background noise. I never realized how much of it were garbage plot episodes.You get to see 'Gatsby' from Californicatio season 2 in 2 different episodes as 2 different characters. I like that guy, he should have had more roles. Also Walt and Tuco from Breaking Bad have an episode each.
>>215801412this is completely fabricated nonsense. None of you will probably watch this but I will link it anyway.The myth arc, which has been criticized by casual plebs, was actually incredibly tight from day onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYQ0Um9VlhM
>>215794180Advertising moved to the internet. The only budget left was purely for propaganda.
>>215792630i tried to rewatch it recently and i got about 4 seasons in and it got a little repetitive and tedious so i stopped.Its still a great show and seeing how people lived in the 90's makes me want to go back so hard, but it treads a whole lot of water.
>>215793633Home, Bad Blood, and Syzygy. Home is pretty creepy. Bad Blood is personal fave of the three. Love the quirky episodes. Definitely watch Jose Chungs from Outer Space and Clyde Bruckmans Final Repose.
>>215801718>seeing how people lived in the 90's makes me want to go back so hardBig reason why I watch it. 90s energy. Especially the early seasons.
would the x-files have been better if scully was an anthropomorphic fox?
>>215802034Two Foxes in 1 show would be pretty crazy
pro tip: it was never aliens, it was the jews all along
>>215792630Stop watching when Mulder disappears and they bring in T1000 and that other bitch.
>>215793275only shit one in that first season was the space episode.
>>215792630I watched a few first episodes recently and it was embarassing to watchlike the entire episode hinges on a polygraph being treated as 100% accurate truthany mystery shows that aren't lazy copaganda and try to be realistic? I liked some Korean shows for this, it was called "Stranger" I think about prosecutors who had to actually find court-admissible evidence to put a guy in jail and not just have them admit without a lawyer at the end of an episode
>>215793706Usually when something picks up out of nowhere it's to generate interest in a new project
>>215802586Should have stopped with the episode where Mulder committed suicide. Actual kino ending.
>>215802799you cant bring it back now that so many people realize it has been the jews all along. Smart people cracked it and endured all the morons and shills and exposed it all
>Has a season with a finale called "The End" where the X-Files is shut down and the literal X-Files the show is named after are completely destroyed>It's in season 5, out of 11
>>215792630Is this true that all red head woman are slut?
>>215792630>Are all 218 episodes worth consooming?noenjoy it while it lasts
>>215796870BOB?
X files movie is worth a squirt.
>>215792667People give up too easy. There's some fucking top ten stuff in the later seasons but the mytharc episodes after season 4 basically ruin the show and drag down the good ones.I think the best advice for anyone watching the first time is to just skip shit judiciously, especially later seasons. As much as people didn't like him T2 did have some kino moments.
>>215801668funny how no one ever defended the mytharc until some faggot made a youtuber video about it
>>215803754>most people are stupid and got filtered by a tv show until someone who isnt stupid explained it to themyou think this is a unique circumstance?
>>215803754in all seriousness though, I am being antagonistic. I dont think people got filtered per se, it is a show that went 11 seasons with 20 something episodes per season. It was an intriqute plot as well. Watching every single episodpe, every single season then putting all the pieces in the correct place with some shit being referenced 15 years later etc is a bit too much to ask the average person. I think carter came out with a book that explained it all and that is where this video gets most of its info. It is easy to know the big picture when you made the big picture. My only point was it did actually make sense and all fit together when you have all the pieces
>>215793633>Who moved my Baphomet statue?! This stinks! This is total BS! Oh wait, there it is.
>>215803754https://insighteditions.com/products/the-complete-x-files-91-limited-edition-93
>>215794530Can't be.
>>215792630Not all of them, but even the shit episodes are usually memorable. I watched until a couple episodes after Mulder gets replaced with another agent and then I dropped it, the magic just wasn't there anymore.
Why didn't they just shoot the aliens?
>>215792630she likes it
>>215804331They have toxic green blood that makes you go into shock and stop breathing. Look up the real case of Gloria Ramirez.
>>215804331A 38 snubby?
>>215792630>tfw you actually know how it ends and what the big reveal is>tfw it's one of the biggest cuckstories ever released on tv at its core>ftw even Gilian Anderson hated the ending so much so refused to return for another revivalHow do I unwatch everything past seaon 5?.
>>215804786Agreed, we can go bigger
>>215804923How the fuck have I still not seen the entirety of that set? It's been 30 fucking years.
>>215792630I want to watch XXX files of Scully if you understand what i mean!!!
>>215793548
The Sex-Files >:DDDDD
>>215804923>>215804953>>215806788Based rare Scullys
>>215807205i'm reopening them
>>215807205Already exists. Two movies in fact.
>>215792630>Here's some undeniable evidence that something supernatural exists.>"No, I don't believe it. This can be explained with science." T. ScullyFuck this show. I really like the premise, but I cannot stand Scully. I never made it past the first season.
>>215807214>Based rare Scullysanother rare
He just sit there writing notes from the deceasedJust one last message they wanted delivered
I just watched the mytharc sps of Season 5, Patient X/Red And The Black and I can barely follow what's going on anymore... my interest is waning. I think the core concept of the 2 parter is a good one - Mulder believing that the government are using alien invasion conspiracies as a cover for something else - but it gets lost in all the rebels vs colonists/black goo/Scully's chip stuff. But I still love the monster of the week stories
>>215807314Nice! Never saw that.
>>215804953>Mulder, can't you see? This clearly is a case of Articifical-Intelligence image synthesis. This man is only showing you what you want to see..
>>215807484
>>215792630
>>215793706>last few monthshow to expose yourself as a newfag. We have x files threads here all the time since as long as i can remember
>>215793784>Scully is strategically out of the room at the time the shit goes down.this happened so many times, especially at the beginning of the show that it felt like an inside joke
out of original 9 seasons, only the 9th is dissapointing but still nice to watch. The rest is good or great. I tried every ep from the first new season and they were all total crap. I didn't bother with the second one
There are good motw episodes throughout the entire 1993-2020 run but there are also many terrible lore episodesThe lore peaks when Mulder meets the first bounty hunter its literal slop from there that was written on the fly with the worst possible decisions made.
>>215802698jersey deviland ghost in the machineand the one with the clone kidsand the one where mark sheppard triggers mulder's fear of fire that is never mentioned again
>>215792630Yeah mostly. I always was turned off by the Dogget episodes at the end, but I actually gave them a shot and enjoy them quite a bit. It will reach its highest points in the first three seasons but remains watchable until the reboot, but even then I didn't hate the reboot when I gave it a shot. The final episode of the reboot series actually closes almost all the threads. It's stupid, but whatever.
>>215808816>ghost in the machine
>>215792630Unreservedly. No reason to even skip the stinkers. Would feel oddly incomplete.
>>215792630Literally me got cucked by aliensyears later I'm still not over it
I used to order pizza and fries whenever I watched this, it was a friday night tradition. Even the later seaons with Robert Patrick were fun, reminds me of half life because of the southwest vibes.
>>215807273in later seasons, Scully was more often an enthusiast of unexplained phenomena, and Mulder a skeptic
>Scully, in this canonical universe magic really exists yet we can perform routine daily functions, eat our meals, pay our taxes without going insane.
I remember following this show with my family as a young boy and then the season 4 home came on. can't believe it was rated that high on imdb
