>encounters supernatural entities every other week>"Aliens? Really, Mulder?"Why is she like this?
>>217186599because demons exist and are the logical explanation
yepI’m thinking seX with Scully
>>217186599it's funny once you get to the seasons where mulder isn't there and she becomes the complete opposite
>>217186599They have to keep up the gimmick, I can’t recall any cases where Scully was right and Mulder was wrong. It leaned one way too much, were there any ambiguous cases
>>217186599>what's that smell, ScullE>*farts*
>>217186717>heh i told him to delete system32>mulder...
>>217186599The stricter your standards of proof are, the less you can actually prove. If we are being brutally honest andd apply maximal standards of proof, no aspect of reality can be proven, no matter how miniscule.
>>217186599Lazy writing
>skully there's an alien fucking you right now
>>217186599She was a scientist and a doctor. If Mulder had dropped a dead ET on her dissecting table she would have believed in them. She just needed proof.
Do Mulder and Scully have amnesia? Do they not remember their boat getting destroyed? There's no way that could've been an alligator>>217186715I'm pretty sure there was at least one episode in which Scully turns out to be right but I can't remember which one. It's an earlier episode I think
Just finished Twin Peaks and thought X Files would be a good substitute. Only 2 episodes in and it isn't really hitting yet. Thinking about bailing for True Detective instead.
>>217186599Miss peak scully.
>>217186891>boat getting destroyedThey rammed a rock.
>>217186599>David wrote and directed the episode The Unnatural>Gillian wrote and direction the episode All ThingsGillian is lucky she is cute.
>>217186599rebelling against her Irish Catholic heritage of wacko women who see angels and spirits everywhere
It really isn't as much fun when she gets on board
>>217186896Ive heard it gets better by season 3
>>217186715There's a few where Mulder's theory for the case turns out to be absolutely bullshit, like the one with the little vampire girls.
>>217186896Why would you think Twin Peaks and The X-Files are at all comparable? That’s on you.
>>217187435X Files is extremely obviously inspired by Twin Peaks in a lot of ways. The problem is that the tone and pacing is wildly different.
>>217186628fpbpAs a devout Catholic she knew demons to be real but aliens are not
>it's a Mulder knows exactly what's happening based on extremely limited evidence episode
>>217186599She was put on the x files expressly to fact check Mulders bullshit. Watch the pilot. She isn't being oblivious she is being professional.
>>217187560Saying that a TV show was 'inspired by Twin Peaks' is extremely vague, numbnuts. That applies to basically all network television since. The X-Files was also heavily influenced by Silence of the Lambs and Kolchak: The Night Stalker. It’s been over 30 years. You have this information available to you, so again, it’s on you.
>>217186599>Scully brings up some medical issue with a dead body she uncovered.>Mulder randomly brings up some obscure long lost civilization that did that to bodies in their culture.he was a /his/ poster for sure
>>217186599I'm currently on season2I find it more questionable how in season1 she got abducted for like a whole fucking week and nobody in the FBI looks into, not even Mulder gives much of a shit after she returns
>>217187600
>>217186759While you’re correct, many episodes end with scully having her mind blown only to revert back to “le science” in the next episode. >>217187587Catholics used to believe the solar system was geocentric and even after they figured out it wasn’t, they threatened people to keep their mouth shut about to the general population. She should have had a more open mind. I think a scientist that understands just how big the universe is and how’ many planets there actually are and believes it impossible for there to be other life is a shitty scientist.
>>217187759>Episode centered around a Jew's killers being revenge murdered>Mulder immediately knows a golem must be involved because he saw some dirt
>>217187815She's literally just doing her job though. If she didn't take that approach they would be weaker as a pair at actually solving mysteries. Even though Mulder is usually right at the end of most episodes, Scully often steers Mulder away from some bullshit line of thought. Mulder gets carried away and Scully keeps him grounded
>>217187815>they threatened people to keep their mouth shut about to the general populationRemember the episode with the deadly contagion and two guys who broke out of prison?She agreed with that guy who's always smoking in Skinner's office in how going all out with the information would cause a panic
>>217187686you're acting like "detectives on a supernatural case" (in the Pacific Northwest for the pilot even) isn't similar enough to expect the same experience.
>>217188009Yeah I would say that it if it was 1993 and The X-Files just came out, but there’s no way you aren’t at least somewhat familiar with the show’s structure.
>>217186715Mulder is often pretty wrong, even if the case is still supernatural or weird.
>>217188009Well for one thing TP stays located in the titular town and the entire plot revolves around one murder.XF moves all over the country, sometimes even globetrotting, and they knock out a murder per episode, sometimes more than one.
>>217188043I knew it was monster of the week but I thought it would be more similar in tone and focus on the cases and maybe build up a central plot more instead of teasing romance all the time and feeling auite so much like "network television." It's like I'm really watching Castle.
>>217188154Twin Peaks essentially created the idea of prestige television with its 8 episode first season. One of the main reasons Lynch left the show is because he didn’t want to commit to the network model of 22+ episodes a year.
>>217186896The X-Files is honestly the better show.
>>217188154>focus on the cases and maybe build up a central plotThere's a sub-section of episodes that do that, they're called the Mytharc and they fucking suck
>>217186599Just because you see ghosts doesn't mean aliens are real. That's fucking stupid.
>>217188249>and they fucking suckOnly after the first movie. Before that they're great, mostly.
>>217188249They don't "suck", they're just representative of which season they belong toX-Files went bad at some point, everyone will tell you a different when but even the nutjobs who watched the whole thing agree it turned dogshit at some point
>>217188408>X-Files went bad at some pointIn my opinion it's not quite that simple, since I think season 7 is mostly bad while season 8 is largely good despite everything. Season 9 is outright awful.It's hard to dissect seasons 10 and 11. A lot went wrong. I even like the second movie more than anything in those two seasons.
>>217188252There’s hundreds of billions of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars. Each star can theoretically have its own solar system. If you believe aliens are impossible you’re a retard or religious (splitting hairs) regardless of believing in ghosts. If you believe in ghosts then your burden of scientific proof is pretty low already and to not believe in life outside the solar system in the frame of mind is ridiculous.
>>217186717>scullE
>>217188249I'm on my first watch and honestly up until season 6 they were my favorite episodes. They should've just ended the myth arc after One Son. Also, the Anasazi stuff was the peak of the show, along with a handful of great motw episodes. The problem with the standalone episodes is that there are too many mediocre (or outright bad) ones, but the ones that are good are genuinely great.
>>217188930The X-Files and Supernatural both follow a similar trajectory where it’s clear the main story arcs were meant to wrap up with season 5.
