>Mulder, however, next makes an abductive conclusion. While discussing the events with Skinner, he states that he is not convinced, because drugs do not wear off only when one notices their effects. This abduction also has three parts. The result is the surprising fact that Mulder and Scully's escape seems problematic. The rule is that Mulder and Scully only think that they have escaped, but they really are still underground and being digested. Finally, the case states that "there is reason to suspect that" Mulder and Scully have not escaped from the mushroom.[11] This type of logic is an example of undercoded abduction, because it is the most plausible rule among many.[11]

mulder doesn't work in out time anymore.

now mulder would just get into the same category as the loose change guys.

pilot for the lone gunmen still very creepy in hindsight tho.

>>65031553
There are only like 20 downright bad episodes before season 6. After S6 you can start skipping shit.

I'm thinking of rewatching X-Files. I saved all my money when I was younger to buy all the series, so I own them all. I'm worried they're worse than I remember though. I used to wake up early before school and watch them. Then come home and watch some.

The Post Modern Prometheus jumps out as a favourite I remember, but loads of great eps.

So here's the spoiler-free buzz I've seen on the new season:

>opening credits are literally untouched, decide for yourself if it's charming or lazy pandering
>show begins with a newbie friendly abridged recap of the mytharc
>mytharc is weak shit but not as bad as the last seasons (ayys, no super soldiers)
>show is very newbie friendly in general but fans aren't ignored, Scully baby (or second baby...) is addressed
>first episode includes as much boring Carter monologue as ever, Duchovny sounds as bored as ever delivering it
>a little too much fan service but not full retard, Mulder's X-Files theme cell ringer is the worst case
>quality of show increases EXPONENTIALLY when the MOTWs kick off with the second episode
>MOTWs are on par with some of the best of the series and one is scary as fuck
>Darin Morgan's MOTW script is as god-tier as his previous scripts, instant funny / meta X-Files classic

>>65032322
>Same opening.
I would have been fine if they retouched it a bit.

At the very least it seems like we're getting a handful of great MOTW episodes. I'm fine with that.

>tfw you will never nut inside gillian

>>65032322
I never felt like the opening was actually in tune with the tone of the show whatsoever.

>>65032322

>>65031006
The X Files is underrated as a dark show. I mean in that episode alone you have a women getting raped by the devil and having her babies taken from her (when still pregnant) repeatedly and they are then killed because they had devil horns.

>>65032322
When you say same opening do you mean Season 1 or Season 9?

Yea but at least it's only because of scheduling issues. He fully supports the mini and said not being able to be there kills him.

I have one episode left now then I'm done with the entire series. But Jesus Christ the show is so bad in the later seasons. I guess I need to watch the last movie too.

>>65034245

What do you mean 'couldn't'? He wasn't allowed to or did he just decide not to?

A Monster of the Week by him would have been great. It would have probably got more people interested as well.

There is no invasion. In fact, alien aren't involved at all and most of the show was bullshit made to trick Mulder. Seriously.

"Quickly, the gears in Mulder’s brain start to turn and he comes to a startling realization: There never has been an alien conspiracy. Instead, the conspiracy is all human-made, as shadowy figures at the highest levels of power used this recovered alien technology to pursue their sinister agenda."

I can't think of the name but the one with the guy and the evil tattoo was pretty dumb.

Anyone else enjoy the one off monster of the week episodes more than the main alien arc?

>>65034800
Nah, it's still a sci-fi show even when the aliens aren't "real" real, and the government has ridiculous methods of manipulation. This "twist" already happened halfway through the original series, they even created a fake dead grey-looking "chimera" organism just to trick Mulder.

>>65034913

Yeah, I dont mind the mytharc but MOTW is where the real shit is at.

Also the cat one is the worst episode

how are they going to explain to plebs who didn't read the comic book about how TLG survived?

I did! One of my favorite shows. Lance Henriksen was simply BASED in his role, S1 was legitimately dark and S2 was really unique. It's really a shame that even today it apparently remains overall too dark most to watch comfortably.
Only thing I didn't really like was the cliched "man gets alienated from wife and child due to work" thing, but at least there was an actual reason for it to happen and not just muh feelings.

You fucked up. Doggett is based as fuck and saved the show. Duchovney cares so little and Doggett is so great that when Mulder comes back you wish he just stayed away. It's Reyes that's the cancer and really only the final season is unwatchable.

>>65035610

Nah, your retarded bait won't get anyone f a m.
Also, same goes for the other episode written or co-written by Gibson (which was much better than FPS, but still a bit cheesy and not exactly plausible). The contents of that episode also make more sense today than they did back then.

What happened?

>>65035953
The Flukeman comes back in the comic.

>>65035794
There's nothing prophetical or "wow so relevant today" about FPS or that piece of dialogue, it's some hamfisted, already dated (the time the episode first aired) 90's vidya scare shit written for Scully, making her speak totally out of character.

>>65035953
Didn't Mulder's parents live on Martha's Vineyard? They should've followed this up.

>>65036027

He was still riding the Terminator wave and was being offered roles left and right. X-Files offered him the Doggett role for season 8 that would eventually transition to him and Reyes being the leads for season 9 in what would essentially be a soft reboot. It would be a new show about FBI agents investigating the paranormal under Skinner's orders kind of like how Law & Order changes casts.

The X-Files crew got cold feet and maybe got lazy and just brought Mulder back to let Duchovny sleep walk through some fan service while Doggett got pushed to the side and show ended because no one was willing to commit to change. Patrick turned down tons of great roles because he thought he was gonna be the new Mulder but instead was left without a job in two years with no prospects because the T2 hype had died down.

>>65036192

Albeit barely.

I don't think it was cliche at all since the characters were so well established and the way the family is broken up feels natural. I loved the more subtle supernatural elements of the show too. I wish they would put the show up on netflix or something. It needs to be exposed again.

>>65036126
I didn't say that it was prophetical or "so relevant today". Just that it is surprisingly relevant TODAY as opposed to BACK THEN. The picture they drew of mainstream gaming as being dumb and centered on violence for its sake wasn't actually the case back then, but it is today.
And I'm of course not talking about the "omg vidye games scary" parts, I'm talking about the parts where they actually talk about games or gaming. I understand that you don't like this episode, which is perfectly alright, but "it's shit because i don't like it" is not a proper argument.

Gotcha, man. Sorry for redditing on you.

>>65036417
Well the event itself was cliche, it's a recurring trope in that kind of story. However the way it was handled was pretty good, and as you said it feels natural. And the reasons for it are also pretty solid, not simply based on a hypothetical "but what if something happens" but a real happening going on in multiple ways at once. There were a couple elements I wish were done better but I can't remember them so they must not have been that big of a deal after all.
Supernatural elements were really good, and again too bad they never had the opportunity to explore among others the whole Heaven and Hell thing going on. It's not everyday that you see an angel depicted basically as the Terminator minus metal chassis, for example. Millennium's internal mythology, the Owls and Roosters things and all that, were also pretty good.
Definitely needs a rerun somehow.

It's alright, thanks for handling this in a mature way.

Season 3 wasn't my favorite, but it was a hell of a lot better than 7,8, and 9. Season 4 was GOAT. The show peaked around seasons 5 and 6.

Are the movies good?

the first one is

The first is a like a mediocre two-parter, watchable with some cool moments but forgettable. The second was not an X-Files movie but the script wasn't selling so they changed the characters to be Mulder and Scully.
