I always thought people who fall in love with characters on a screen were retarded until I watched the X-files. Scully is ethereal.
Ethereally slutty.
>>223924713Probably also her personality. A smart, tough woman who takes care of you and has your back in your battle against the ayylmaos, deep-state and monsters of the week.
>tfw the celebrity you had a crush on 30 years ago is still hot todayIt's a rare but great feeling bros
For me? It's Skinner.
I am watching it for the first time and have experienced the same phenomenon
>>223924713I shipped them so hard, Post-Modern Prometheus was like crack to me.
>>223924713GIMME SCULLY SISTER
>>223924873I prefer her with the skin on.
I wanna be cool like Mulder, with a pretty girl like Scully.
>>223924713Mulder was interested in Scully because he knew she's a semen demon inhabiting a human being. The actor himself confirmed it, Scully (Gillian) is paranormal as fuck.
>>223924873Why did they call him Skinner when he's hairy as fuck all over, except his head? All these shots with him half-naked confirm it.
>>223924713There are many of us. We are legion.
>>223926416They were Simpsons fans and he was their principal
>>223926367I was a kid when X-Files was airing on TV over here (Yuropoor), I remember wanting to be like Mulder and Scully being one of my kid crushes. It was nice growing up during times when there was a lot of good, white male role models.
>>223924713She was 4/10 at best. Hate when you nerds elevate someone like this just because they were on scifi. Same shit with Summer Glau. They arent a nerd like you. Get over it
>>223926188I loved the chemistry between them. The sexual tension that they both tried to keep at bay due to their professionalism. I think that's the reason why X-Files was always the show of choice when I was coming over to my girlfriend's. Getting to an episode where there's this strong sexual tension in the air between them, always led to her pausing the show and having greatest sex I ever had with anyone else.
>>223926520>It was nice growing up during times when there was a lot of good, white male role models.Very true. White male characters actually had personalities and accomplishments instead weak cuck or hyper-aggressive idiot. Its the same reason I like reading 20thC paperbacks. Just good role models.
>>223924713long coats = FBI
>>223926774why didnt they were those fbi windbreakers?
Mulder is a gooner which is a bad trait but he doesn't mind admitting it and is self deprecating about it which is a good trait.
As of right now, I am officially reopening the X-Files.
>>223926824Because they arent kino.
>>223926774peak performance
>>223926941I laugh every time I see this. The whole scene is just perfect in so many ways.
>>223926774Its amazing how the standard of dress has fallen the last several decades. I was watching Columbo, and an ongoing theme is how shabby he is dressed, but by todays standards he would be comedically over dressed.
>>223924713Mogged by Amanda Fix
>>223926969my favorite little gag in this episode is Scully being a mark for that obvious museum scam
>>223926581Yeah I don’t get the hype. Chuds act like she’s a goddess when she’s a little above average. Her haircut is horrible too.
Am I the only one who actually didn't like early Gillian Anderson but thought she was insanely hot as soon as she hit 40?
I remember back in 1996, when I first got dial up internet, I would wait 3 minutes for a mildly slutty photo of her to load.How times have changed
>>223927021I love early chubby cheek Scully
>>223927021She became so much hotter when she had nothing left to lose
>>223926128Sames. Usually in colder months, I would watch twin peaks. >>223926830Was the episode about the guy who can see other people's deaths the first mention of his gooner ways? I remember that caught me off guard.
>>223927078>the first mention of his gooner ways?not at all. they joke about his porn mag/video hobby pretty often.
>>223926824Special Agents. And the rule of cool.
>>223926834>>223927078IM REOPENING THE BALD FILES
>>223926834As of right now, I am reopening the previously closed, after being closed and reopened, X-Files.
>>223926887>FBI Uhhh, Female Black Investigations?
>>223927094Aahh ok>porn magoh yea, when they were going through the electricity kid's room, Moulder had the same magazine, it was the episode with Jack Black.
>>223926982It's the same with the educational standards. It's interesting as the amount of DEI hires increased, the dress standards, education, even corporate branding and quality became simplified and downgraded. X-Files has that unique atmosphere, where things still appear tidy, clean, high standards and believable that the government is full of highly intelligent psychopaths operating from the shadows, capable of keeping a grand conspiracy hidden, instead of inept fools with connections and lots of money.
>>223926416>>223926445Skinner is another word for chomo.
>>223927197Finna Bust Ignant
>>223924713Fox thought she wasn’t hot enough and wanted Pamela Anderson. Not even kidding
>>223924873>As of RIGHT NOW, I'm closing the X-Files. Again.
>>223927306It is the atmosphere of competence that I find compelling. Everyone is competent, even the bad guys, so there is a sense of real stakes and risk. And its cool watching people who are competent and collected, instead of this thing that exists in its current state. I really have no words for it.
>>223927632>Its just been revoked
>>223927632>give me more scenes outside the office >say no more
>>223927306>It's the same with the educational standardsIt's racist and oppressive to have any type of standards nowadays
>>223927996you mean how the shows are more about emotions and the people are hypercompetent but constantly on the edge and screaming and backstabbing?
>>223926982I agree, be the light in the darkness. Dress sharply.
>>223924713>etherealyou spelled bacterial wrong.
>>223928609Something like that. If my brain wasnt so hungover I could probably describe it, but I think you are very close.
>>223924713she's great as a distraction in the first few episodes but even she can't make up for the distinctly 90's low-budgetness as you get into the 10th or 15th episode.
>>223929056That's the part that makes it great. A limited budget means people have to work carefully with what they have. Now we have all those services releasing slop with millions of dollars behind them, yet they're worthless.
>>223929056>distinctly 90's low-budgetnesshuh? x-files never looked all that low-budget. waddya mean! the lighting of every shot was exquisite, following in the footsteps of moody noir
>>223929377it looks great when there's nothing paranormal happening but those early special effects are hard to sit through. i also remember a scene where Mulder is supposed to be working on a dead body and the guy playing the cadaver blinked like three times.
>>223926391That's Krychek
