> People in the 90's watched that graphically violent X Files show just because Gillian Anderson was so beautiful.
>>216918826The 'monster of the week' episodes are good. Some of them are actually really good.
No, I did it because>The Truth Is Out There
>>216918826From the thumbnail I thought that was Maggie Gyllenhaal
The ghost always scared me when I was a child.
>graphically violent X Files showthere was hardly any violencebut yeah, i watched it for gillian
>>216918826Naughty boys!
>>216918826I mean literally every episode is"schooly come quick look at these aliens and ghosts"*aliens and ghosts disappear**schooly arrives*"mouldy there are no aliens or ghosts here"But she's so god damn insane retard magma hot that we just kept watching
>>216919092>there was hardly any violenceFuck you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS4MAto3XuU
>>216918826>X Files>graphically violent
>>216919150No one watched X-files past season 7.
Fuckin A right
>>216919093What did Gillian Anderson herself mean by this post?
>>216918961same
>>216918826I watched it because one of the episodes had Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot as the promo music and I wanted to know what the band and song name was.
>>216918826The porn parodies of this show fucking sucked
>>216919150they don't actually show any violence in that clip
>>216918826I remember there was one episode where they were investigating something. They ended up in a hotel, and since one of the markers that locals were afflicted with the problem of the week was having red bumps on their skin, they used that to have an excuse to have Scully come into Mulder's hotel room wearing a trench coat over her bra and panties so that Mulder can examine some red bumps on her. Mulder dismisses them as insect bites. I can't remember anything else about the episode.
>>216919553That's the 'Pilot' episode.
>>216918961Every episode scared the shit out of me, but I still watched all of them. I was some masochist, even as a kid
>>216919110You probably weren't even alive at the time.
the opening theme was also pretty cool
>>216918826the thing is: Dana Scully would never take such a pose.tl;dr: i don't think that this pic is the true actress, the famous woman who played Scully.
how come they had such good chemistry? were they actually good friends or fwb?
>>216918858I like the whole show, but the monster of the week eps are easily the best ones. I'm rewatching it now, and some of them are not just good fun, they're interestingly narrated explorations of humanities.Legit great show.>>216918826People watched it because it was fun. FUN. I feel bad that zoomers don't have fun shows anymore, they're wallowing in three generations of angst without realizing that the world is actually kinda FUN.
>>216918826>violentIt was pretty mehI think the only time “gore” in that show kinda seemed legit was the chupacabra episode, or maybe the guy who was infected with whatever lab created illness and then held a kid hostage before getting domedNothing really beats Predator
>>216919092>there was hardly any violenceThere are melted, decapitated, dismembered, boiled alive people, and a suicide and a half in 1/2 of season 2 alone.I don't know what show you watched, but I'm glad Gillian Anderson was in it, because I'd watch that too.
>>216918961the whole fucking intro freaked me out as a kid but the hand in the first part scared me the most because i thought it looked like the shadow of a Bart-like figure
>>216918826Actually she wasn’t considered “hot” back then. Fox didn’t want her because they didn’t think she was hot enough. They literally wanted Pamela Anderson to be Scully
>>216918826She was unusual in being very button-up, stiff upper lip compared to Mulder. Her brains were a bigger plot point than her looks - only played up in PR shoots.
>>216922750She wasn't considered hot by retarded executives with tiny brains and non-functioning penises, but she was an immediate hit with the audience.
>>216918826Maybe, Im fucking old and Im still way to young to be the person you are describing.What was crazy about her is how she just kept getting hotter and hotter with age.
>>216919092Are you 50, did you hit puberty at 9, or are you talking about watching the seasons on DVD years after.
How did she go from the hot club girl to MOMMY?She's litterally the Alpha MILF of Hollywood right now.
>>216922359Duchovny fucks anything with a pulse. Californication was a documentary.
>>216922800No she wasn’t. She was only “hot” to nerd culture. Like Princess Leia. Carter didn’t want her to be hot but to look like an actual FBI agent not a glamor model. Wasn’t until started doing magazine cover shoots when the show started to get popular and she glammed up people saw she was actually hot. I remember when pic related fake out I was like “wow”
>>216918961I thought it was just a normal person that was removed from security footage to cover up their identity
>>216922954> Carter didn’t want her to be hot but to look like an actual FBI agent not a glamor model. Is that why she's half naked in the first episode? Crazy. Exec intentions are irrelevant anyway because I remember the era. I remember people talking about her when the show first aired. I was a kid so I was more into the weird monsters and shit at the time, but I would've had to have been a blind retarded ape to not see how pretty she was season 1. Even if she wasn't considered a sex icon in print until later I'd bet dollars to donuts she was on usenet.Or maybe my family and neighbors just have a thing for redheads, even if they're not real gingers.>She was only “hot” to nerd culture.fans of the show?
>>216923107I just always wondered what the little orbs sprouting a tail were.
https://youtu.be/hAAlDoAtV7Y?si=snm0lp5teXnJgbxm
>>216918826Television was full of beautiful people back then. Anderson didn't especially stand out or anything.
>>216919230was that the episode with electric head?
>>216925851Jack Black gets fried.
>>216923471> Is that why she's half naked in the first episode? Crazy.Carter did that scene because he wanted to show they weren’t sexual for each other. She strips half naked and he doesn’t make a move. Carter was always against the shipping and never wanted them to hook up but eventually caved. In the pilot Scully actually has a boyfriend which the network wanted cut out
>>216925879
>>216918858They are good but smoking man is mostly in lore episodes and he is amazing
>>216919201IM GONNA CUM, MOMMY
>>216925957>In the pilot Scully actually has a boyfriend which the network wanted cut outbecause will they/won't they has been the easiest (laziest) way to get women to watch your show since the dawn of tv
>>216919201wtf is this?
I was more of a Sandra guy back then.
>>216926578it's exactly what it looks like
People at that time were really into alien shit and art bell skuller wasn't all that hot.
>>216925879kinohttps://youtu.be/ANzZMyfjy9E
>>216926592both.gif
>>216927009I was in highschool at the time and my neighbor kinda sort looked like Sandra. Needless to say I rubbed out plenty to that.
>>216927046I bet you did you fucking wanker.
>>216923492It's just upside down sped up footage of a seed germinating.
>>216927058Damn gonna have to recall some memories for a throwback sesh tonight.
This is what she looked like season 1. Carter made her wear baggy close with little makeup. Anderson hated it but he was correct. Like cop shows where all bitch detectives show up like about to do a photo shoot at a crime scene at 3am. By season 4 she redid her contract and demanded form fitting designer clothes
>>216926505It helps to give a personal storyline between characters a place to go. The issue is that once you actually get there there's nowhere else for it to go except baby -> divorce. It doesn't have to be that way, but due to the lazy nature of it that's the way she goes boys.>>216927046My neighbors mom actually looked like Scully, but blond. I saw her changing once in the window. Was pretty fucking great for 9 year old me.>>216925957>Carter did that scene because he wanted to show they weren’t sexual for each other.He wanted the basis of their relationship to be platonic and built on mutual respect, not sex. But the reason he didn't want them hooking up is because he wanted the sexual tension to continue. Like I said, once you've hooked them up there's few places to go. He wanted to string along the audience and having a solid hookup is a stopping point for a lot of viewers.
I watched it for Gillian, and I watched it for David, and I watched it for the cool mysteries, and the spooky vibes, and the tall misty pine trees. I love the early seasons before cellphones became ubiquitous in the world. You can't do a "the one phone line out of town's out and there's trouble!" episodes anymore.zoomies are physically incapable of imagining what the world was like before they were born with smartphones in their hands and honestly it's so so sad. It's not their fault, I wish I COULD communicate it to them. It's not just, "like now, but lost my phone". The way people interacted with each other and their environment was totally different. It made going any place new feel like an adventure, because you didn't have some boat anchor tying to back to your responsibilities and discords. You were always on your own, just a man and his car and the open road, and you had to solve problems as they came, without being able to look up how to deal with something on the internet. But the rewards were vast, with so many infinite new things to see and stories to tell when you finally returned home. We retained information better, you had to really experience what you encountered in the world with heart, mind, and body, you couldn't just snap a picture of it and forget it ever happened until you scrolled through your photos again. Now this world is lost, possibly never to return. "Experiences" don't happen any more, just consumption and streamwatching. And experiences are necessary to make the brain grow beyond the level of slug.
Scully toes.
>>216927192
>>216927400They had cell phones in season 2. They just have to keep going "I don't have a signal" which tbf is exactly what cell phones were like at the time.My small home town didn't have service until 2007 unless you went to the corner of the Miller's shed and held your phone 6 feet high, or in the top south corner of the daughter McAllister's bedroom.
>>216927000That episode ended with Live Fast, Diarrhea too.
>>216927532They were pretty on the ball when it came to technology. There's an early episode about a serial killer stalking BBW chatrooms. He's like a faggy Brundlefy who writes poetry and barfs acid on fatties so he can suck up the liquified fat.
>>216927765Just saw it like two weeks ago my man. The internet was such a novel thing back then.
>>216927765>>2169278522Shy
She had "the Rachel"
>>216920047I'm 50 but the fact that you fiercely need to believe otherwise is telling
>>216927532X Files was one first shows to really use cell phones. They really couldn’t have done the show without them. Usually they split apart in an episode. Scully doing autopsy and science shit and Mulder going off into places he shouldn’t be.
>>216918826I whistle the x-files theme at work to keep myself awake.I'm a security goon at a research facility and nobody here thinks its funny. Fucking nerds.
>>216927466She was very mousy in the early seasons. It was when they renewed their contracts at end season 4 and the movie when she started wearing form fitting designer outfits and really started looking more like a movie star then a FBI Agent
>>216927991I hate all those magazines. They had this conceited need to try to apply their own makeup styles to everyone they did photoshoots for and it just looked awful. Gillian Anderson, Morgan Webb.. people loved them because of their unique traits, not because they dolled themselves up like generic whores.
X Files ? more like UNC Files
>>216928107I love that first(?) season episode where she goes on a blind date and dresses up in some awkward grannie gown because she doesn't know how to be a sexy woman
>>216928107I'm on the earlier seasons now. I think a big part of that was that it was the style at the time as well. My mom wore the same shit. Shoulder pads and all. I dunno why it was common, but it was. She has scenes in nighties though, and her jackets in Season 2/3 are better fit than in 1 as well, even skirts!. I get not wanting her hypersexualized, and I think it was the right call.pic related was the best example I found in 3 minutes, but I remember watching an episode a few nights ago where she's wearing something not too dissimilar from your pic, but with a little less flair. I'm in S3 atm.
>>216928217It fit the character and what made Scully different then practically every female character on TV at the time. Remember Baywatch was Fox’s biggest show at the time
>>216928217that's sexy though
>>216928245>forgot pic because im retaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaardedthis outfit isn't as fitted as your example, but it's not ill fitting either. just not tailor made.>>216928272the only issue here is the lighting. that dress is fine, and normal for the era.
>>216928272yesin the far east we call this "gap moe"
>>216928245If Fox has their way they’d had her looking like Miss Parker from The Pretender which came out shorty after to capitalize on the X Files popularity
>>216928217what's that set of balls at the bottom of the screen there?
>>216922935how can you say this without providing an example?
>>216927404I need them in my mouth and on my cock
>>216927875what?
>>216918961not just the ghost, also that face in agony
>>216926578an instructional video
>>216927765that episode was kinda crazy
>>216927404underrated
