MOVIES/TV: X Files

[brookie]

i was just feeling nostalgic for the x files and i was wondering if anyone else was too. i started watching it when i was in 6th grade and now i'm 22!!!! i grew up with that damn show!!too bad it got a little sucky towards the end .. but at least i got to see them kiss. ahhh to be young again and have no life! <sigh> style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif
what do you think?
questions?
comments?
anyone...

<span style="color:red">I miss it</span>

[Saranac]

ahh yes one of my favorite T.V. shows of all time. I too grew up watching that show but stopped as soon as David Duchovny left, and they got T2. I still watch the classic episodes every day at 5 PM(eastern) TNT. My favorite episode is the first episode after the pilot "Deep Throat," and yes sadly I know the name of it style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

[Jedi D'oh]

I loved the X-Files. I just wish they had ended it on a good note instead of that super soldiers crap.

What about the black oil? What about the coming invasion? Why kill Krycheck(sp?) when earlier thay said he would be last man standing? Too many tthings left open and forgotten.

But I still loved the show and watched it from beginning to end.

[brookie]

yeah i understand.. my fav episode is "home" that was great i think it was season 4... i too stopped watching it when mulder left.. and im kicking my self now becaus i missed scully having her baby and the last episode.. i downloaded some clips which were great and i watch the re-runs on tnt and sci fi
i also hear that they are going to make a new x-flies movie!! that would be great! there is going to be a x files marathon on sci fi channel sept 10th ! i liked the x files move alright but i felt that they spent to much time recapping everything.... so people who didnt watch the show could watch the movie... that was bull sh*t
do you think william was mulders and scullys child? or was the baby half alien?

[Jedi D'oh]

I don't think the baby was half alien. Unless it had to do with the exposures they have both had over the show's run.

It was hard, but I stuck through the show when Mulder left so I caould find out what happened to him. Still kind of disappointing. I did like that Skinner finally saw the UFO that took Mulder and was 100% committed to Mulder's cause.

I agree that Home is one of the best episodes. I enjoyed the movie, but they just didn't really get into as much as I thought. I have heard that IF they make another X-Files movie, it would be more of a stand alone story. I hope that changes cause I would like to see them expand the conspiracy story further.

By the way, I like your sig, snoogins.

[brookie]

Jedi D'oh what is your fav episode? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[Trilogist]

I didn't become a fan of the X-Files until the movie. I loved the movie so much I started watching the show. I had always thought it was some kind of occultish paranormal show. It was until the movie that I realized it was more about aliens. Cool.

[brookie]

ahhh then the movie was ok cause it got u into the x files!1 swwweeeettttt

[bluemilk]

ahh the wonderful memories of racing home after work on friday just to watch the X-Files. I got hooked and hooked bad! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif I enjoyed the series but all my favourites were the episodes leading up to the movie. They were all fantasic especially the pilot which is my favourite. One episode that sticks out for me is the Ice episode from season 1 where they get holed up in the research base in the artic. OoOoh I also love the episode with the occult and the frogs and anything with the lone gunmen.

[brookie]

ohh yeah! i love those episodes... does anyone have any x files box sets? they are so much money i cant afford them... if anyone has them.. or have seen them... tell me.. does it have good extras?

I don't really have a favorite episode. Anything that had to do the Mythology storyline was my favorite. That underlying plot line that ran the show was just such a brilliant story/idea, I was hooked. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/alien.gif

^ Cool Pic there. could you send it to me? I want to make it my wallpaper. Indeed that was one of my fave Simpsons episodes.

[brookie]

jedi d'oh i sent you an email

here are the top 10 things that you never heard on the x files courtesy of some web site


10.) "The alien is speaking, Agent Mulder...I think it wants to phone home."

9.) "Sure, we could have these people killed to protect what they know...but isn't that a little harsh?"

8.) "I've seen this once before, Scully. His name is Casper, and he's what we call a 'friendly' ghost."

7.) "Look under the mask. This is no swamp monster. It's Mr. Handy, the ownder of the old country store!"

6.) "My Lord! This conspiracy involves all three of the Gabor sisters!"

5.) "Well, Agent Mulder, you caught us. We'll cooperate fully, of course. What would you like to know?"

4.) "You'll be happy to hear, Assistant Director Skinner, that I've switched over to the nicotine patch."

3.) "The president wants to see you two immediately. His cheeseburger is possessed."

2.) "And it would have worked, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling FBI agents!"

1.) "Gosh, I guess we were wrong...the government did have our best interests at heart, after all!"

Jerry: "Uh, okay. Well, let's bring him out. Fox Mulder, everybody!"

==Audience applauds. Mulder comes out, takes the chair next to Scully. She takes his hands==

Scully: "Now, baby, you know I love you and everything like that. We been through a lot and all, chasin' aliens and what-not, but there's something I gotta tell you. I don't think you my baby's daddy."

==Audience, cheering: Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!==

Scully: "No, no, baby, it wasn't like that! He drugged me and done something to me while I was out! You know I wouldn't never *&%^ him, look at him! Ick!"

Cancer Man: "That wasn't what you said last night!"

Audience: Oooh! Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!

Jerry: "All right, everybody settle down, take your seats."

==All three take their seats on the stage, Scully in the middle==

Jerry: "But that's not all there is to this story, right?"

Scully: "That's right. I have actually been sleeping with somebody else."

Audience: Gasp! Boo, boo!

==Mulder tries to b*tch-slap her. Steve holds him back.==

Jerry: "Well, let's bring 'em out. The Lone Gunmen, everybody!"

[Axis]

I loved the first 6 seasons of the X-Files, but after the major story arc ended it just started becoming a parody of itself. There were a few good episodes scattered here and there, but otherwise there was nothing to grab you. The movie was really great too, and apparently there is a good chance we'll see anotherone, as both Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are expressing a lot of interest. My favorite episode is probably "Pusher".

[brookie]

ok so i got this off of some website and

its different x files characters answering the question....

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Fox Mulder: No government agency has jurisdiction over the chicken. The chicken is out there, Scully, and we will find it.

Dana Scully: There is a logical, scientific explanation for the chicken crossing the road. We need more evidence.

Walter Skinner: You've got 24 hours to find out why that @!!*@!@ chicken crossed the road!!!

CSM: There was no chicken.

Alex Krycek: Because he can't decide WHAT side he's really on.

Byers: It was trying to escape the most heinous and evil force of the twentieth century.

Langly: It was on its way to the grassy knoll, dude.

Frohike: I don't know, but she's hot.

[Marbleman]

x-files were ok, but i particularly enjoyed "millenium." style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[brookie]

dr. seuss's take on cigarette smoking man.. i did not write this.. got it from a web site.

Dr. Seuss's view of CSM
Warning: Somewhat violent
I do not like you, CSM,
I hate you; you are one of them,
I do not like your cigarettes,
I would not like your pink barettes.

I wish you did not start that fire,
I would not like you in "Quagmire",
I did not like you as a Nazi,
I bet you were in league with Trovsky,

I do not like your blackened lungs,
I do not like your fancy guns,
The fat lady will not have sung
Until the day I see you hung.

I would, though, like to see you dead,
I'd like to see you shot in the head,
Or strangled round the neck by Mitch,(Pileggi)
Or lying face-down in a ditch.

How about anaphylactic shock?
Or electrocution around the clock?
A heart attack would surely please,
As well as swarming, angry bees,
When they return into their hive,
Then you can be burnt alive.

You traded your wife for that alien fetus,
Die, you fiend, of necrotizing faciitas,
Whooping cough, tuberculosis,
Spontaneous cellular mitosis,
Measles, mumps, and hepatitus,
Streptococcus, tonsilitis.

And now that you are looking jowley,
I'll go and kill Diana Fowley.

[brookie]

so i just finished season 7, although i am a huge geek of an xfiles fan its the first dvd, the i own of the series.

what season do you think was the best?

me? i think season 3 hands down, then 7.

[Spacehunter24]

I miss the early seasons of THE X-FILES, when it was really good, before it got too wrapped up in its own mythology and forgot about to be entertaining. Although I was starting to get bored during Season 5, I though the movie would be bring me back in. But instead, it made me completely lose interest in the show. (And plus, I had still never forgiven them for killing off Mr. X. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif )

I came back occasionally in the seasons that followed, just to see what they were up to. "X-Cops" was a fun episode and it was cool to see Robert Patrick in something high-profile again, but otherwise, I couldn't believe how bad it had gotten, and I could rarely watch an episode for very long before turning the channel. And the series finale, I thought, was absolutely terrible.

But those first few seasons were awesome. If the DVD sets weren't so ridiculously-overpriced, I would buy those ones. Season 2's "Little Green Men" is still my all-time favorite episode.

[brookie]

YEAH i have to say that season three was the best season ever! i dont really consider season 8 and 9 a part of the x files canon , except for the very last episode "truth".

although "truth" was a copout, it seemed like the writers tried to wrap the whole series up in two hours. anf forgot half the series!

you can get the seasons on dvd for half the price on amazon, used.

[JLX-1138]

Me too I miss X Files. It's my favorite TV show ever, along with Highlander and The Quantum Leap. I have season 1, 2 and 3 on dvd. It was too expensive a few years ago but this year in France the boxsets are at a very interesting price. So I'll buy them all. I'am a fan of it since 10 years. I'm 22 now, I really grew up with this show. Love it all, til the end.

Is it in syndacation anywhere?

[/b][/quote]
For me, it died a long time ago. The X-files wasn't the same during its last couple seasons. Even so, I remained optimistic, expecting some attempt to wrapup the overall story. It never happened, which I find appalling. All those years spent watching that show, and Chris Carter couldn't even attempt to give us a concluding arc in its final season. That destroyed any little interest that still had. I'm done with it. If another X-Files movie ever gets made, I doubt I'll have any desire to see it.

[P-Ray]

I used to absolutely love the show!

As a matter of fact, just today I finished buying my X Files DVD collection(I also have the movie) and will begin watching them this week.

[Justin]

I really liked the X-Files up until some point in season 6, where I think the series got a little stale. I stopped watching in in season 7.

However, I caught an episode in season 8 with Doggett, and I got hooked again. And even though many fans hate it (because Mulder is gone and Scully doesn't appear as often), I thought season 9 was AWESOME.

I loved the characters of Agents Reyes and Doggett, and I thought it was great that they brought the show back to what it was in the beginning; a series of stand-alone episodes dealing with various paranormal phenomena.

That said, I hated the last episode where they brought Mulder back and wrapped up the conspiracy plot from previous seasons. I thought it was terrible and completely unsatisfying.

I wish they had continued the show with Doggett and Reyes.

been ages since i watched any x-files but IIRC Mulder first puts the 'X' on the window to ask Deep Throat for help or info in the first season, and from Mr X in other seasons.

other than that i don't think it as any other significance than being the X in X-files

As with everyone else here, I really enjoyed it until it started heading up it's own back passage. The movie was great IMHO though, and rekindled my interest. Then I caught some of the later episodes and regretted it. I never saw any with Robert Patrick in - by that point it had gone too far for me.

If there were another film (as Duchovny seems to want) then I'd def. go see it...

Too bad Agent Doggett won't be in it.

Yeah, thats stupid. I never could understand most "fans" disliking the Doggett and Reyes characters, sure I prefer Mulder and Scully but there was nothing wrong with Doggett or Reyes and the last two seasons. :giveup:

Anyway, the movie hasn't even been written yet so who knows for sure if they will make an appearance or not.

[borgmatrix]

Yeah, thats stupid. I never could understand most "fans" disliking the Doggett and Reyes characters, sure I prefer Mulder and Scully but there was nothing wrong with Doggett or Reyes and the last two seasons. :giveup:
I don't think Doggett and Reyes were really the issue for most fans. Like you, I think most just preferred Mulder and Scully since they were the agents we were watching for so many years. But Robert Patrick's a very good actor and he, in particular, was a great addition to the show.

What was problematic was the quality of the writing over the last two seasons. At a certain point, the stories started to get a little tired and lacked the spark of earlier episodes. I was really bothered by the evident lack of a plan on Chris Carter's part. He clearly had no sense of when he was going to end the series, and the mythology and long-running arc became a convoluted mess as things went on and on and on. And when we finally came to the last season, there was absolutely no attempt to conclude the overall arc. We deserved more than a bunch of stand-alone episodes and a two-hour finale that accomplished nothing (other than giving us a date for the invasion - the year 2012).

I had loved that show for many years, but there came a point when watching each week was truly a chore. When I realized I was forcing myself to watch out of duty/obligation, I knew it was time for me to move on. Right now, I have almost zero interest in an X-Files movie. Whenever it's finally made and released, maybe I'll feel differently.

Which is why he deserves a spot in the new movie if and when it happens.

We deserved more than a bunch of stand-alone episodes and a two-hour finale that accomplished nothing (other than giving us a date for the invasion - the year 2012).

That was actually the one thing I hated about Season 9, it wouldn't of been so bad if they continued on in a movie and maybe wrapped it then but we got nothing, it seemed rather pointless to tell us the date of the invasion and leave it at that.

I have almost zero interest in an X-Files movie. Whenever it's finally made and released, maybe I'll feel differently.

LOL! You sound like me about the new Star Trek movie. :)

[borgmatrix]

Which is why he deserves a spot in the new movie if and when it happens.
Well, for a two-hour movie, I think having three leads would be a little much. Patrick was brought in because Duchovny wanted to move on and Anderson wanted to scale back her time. With both of them back for a movie, there'd be no need to force Doggett back in. I wouldn't complain if he was in it, but it makes sense to not include him.

LOL! You sound like me about the new Star Trek movie. :)
If this was a Voyager (or even Enterprise) movie, I'd feel the same way. But this is a TOS movie starting at the very beginning, so there's no sense of overstaying it's welcome.

There's no Berman involvement. No Brannon Braga. So none of my reasons for disliking recent Trek persists.

[Sargoth]

I was a big fan up until the end of season seven. By that point, what was there really left of the mythology to explore? The Syndicate was dead. The alien conspiracy was broken up. Mulder had learned the truth about his sister. Add to that the fact that part of the fun of the series was the chemistry between Mulder and Sculley.

My wife and I have started collecting the DVD sets and are well into season 4. It's cool seeing how everything unfolds in order, as well as how the characters were developed.

I'm not suggesting he be in the whole movie just an appearance along with Reyes, but I doubt either actor would be up for that. It would be nice to see but i'm not going to be expecting it.

[kopernikuz]

Yeah I was a huge fan of this show... and I could be lumped into the "Doggett-dogging" group... but it was no slight on Robert Patrick or anything, I like him a lot... I just really loved Mulder and Scully and didn't feel the show had anything left after Doggett joined. Again, not Doggett's fault... just how it happened, so he got the bad rap, lol.

To me it was like replacing one of Abbott and Costello or Kirk and Spock or Jerry and George or Woody and Buzz. They just go together... Doggett felt like a third wheel... or the stepdad who never quite fit into the family. The stepdad was cool and all... but he wasn't dad, ya know? :P

A Haunting We Will Go Actor Lance Henriksen has hinted that Mulder and Scully might meet up with his character from Chris Carter's other TV series, Millennium. I hope they're not gonna crossover with all his shows. I mean, the guy also worked with Fran Drescher on The Nanny.

[kopernikuz]

I liked Millennium... but didn't watch it all... I like Lance Henrikson... and the story was creative...

[Darth Massacrus]

So, is Cancer Man/CGB Spender/Old Smokey/ CSM/Black Lung SOB/ect/whatever his name is gonna be in the movie?

By the way, I do like the show (especially since it's all on DVD)...

[empire21]

Cancer man is dead. Or at least that's what we're suppose to believe....:scratchchin:

Yes, it is very cool. My sister is happy too, I gave her my old Fight the Future movie, and my Mythology collection DVDs.

[empire21]

Yes, it is very cool. My sister is happy too, I gave her my old Fight the Future movie, and my Mythology collection DVDs.

Did the complete collection come with the movie?

I thought it was just the series.

[Jjm3233]

Yes the complete series, the movie and all the previous extras. There is also a pull out compartment some extras. My only complaint is that the box/compartment isn't the best scenario; my drawer requires some muscle to open it.

[empire21]

I got all 9 seasons when they re-released them last year and they took out some of the extras from the previous release. I'm curious to see if they put them back in with this collection. :scratchchin:

[Jjm3233]

Good question, I know each season seems to have the commentaries I remember from when I netflixed 'em. And each season has a bonus disk. Which features did they cut out?

[empire21]

They cut lots of stuff. Like behind the scenes featurettes for each season(The truth behind season 3 etc.), deleted scenes, featurettes on special effects. They through in a bit with the ones I got but no where near as much as the original release, it's mostly commentaries.

[Jjm3233]

I threw in the season 1 bonus disk, which has: The Truth Behind Season 1, Chris Carter talks about season 1, "Behind the Truth" (the FX shorts), TV Spots, and Deleted Scenes.

The Season 2 disk has: The Truth About Season 2, Chris Carter Talks About Season 2, FX: Behind the Truth, Behind the Scenes Clips (Which seems to have some model and FX stuff), Deleted Scenes, Promo Spots.

Both discs also have DVD-Rom content.

I hope that helps.

[empire21]

Wow. You pretty much got the first release content. I wish I knew that this set was coming, I would have waited. Grrrr.

Thanks for letting me know. If that price ever drops I may be crazy enough to double dip. :P

[empire21]

Well, this pretty much confirms what we were talking about, Jjm.

Is that Gillian Anderson? Wow, she looks different! She was on a Jane Austen dramatisation over here recently and looked a bit slimmer than she used to, but that pic hardly looks like her at all!

Not that I'm complaining though... ;) Either way, GA gets a big :thumbs-up: from me.

Hmmm? Are you saying, even if it is good, you can't get past the title? Or, are you saying, it doesn't matter what the title is, if the movie is good?

The thing I'm thinking is, lame title, but, while in the photos I've seen Mulder is starting to look a lot like CSM, 'dorable Dana Scully still looks pretty darned good.

(The movie, of course, will suck.)

[borgmatrix]

(The movie, of course, will suck.)
I used to love the show, but during the late stages of the series, my interest died and I just can't seem to resurrect it. At all. I still have zero interest in seeing it. Even on dvd.

Hey, the first movie sucked. This one takes place after the show's events, not during them.

Mulder looking like the CSM? That might be the very best way to insult him...

I thought that the first movie was excellent and fit perfectly w/i the shows ongoing story!

[Darth Massacrus]

I thought that the first movie was excellent and fit perfectly w/i the shows ongoing story!

I felt just the opposite. They created a leader for the Syndicate (Strughold), who we never see or hear from again, and a massive UFO/ship/research lab buried in Antarctica that is supposedly the "full scope of The Project", yet is filled with growing aliens that the Syndicate only 'just' found out about.

The characters also don't fit in too well. Smokey/CSM/CGB/whatever seems grossly underused, they kill off the Well Manicured Man (why????), they introduce a Dr. Kurtzweil as a very important character in the mythology who just ends up as a redshirt, Diana Fowley isn't even mentioned, and Krycek is nowhere.

[kopernikuz]

Yeah, the title is kind of a drag... it's more of a tagline than a subtitle...

What's wrong with X-Files 2? Leave it at that... and make the rest the tagline for the posters... in fact, the poster should look like the UFO one in Mulder's office that bears that same tagline.

That's approximately where I am. The DVDs gather dust,and I don't think about it that much. I did start watching the DVDs, but the contrast of those early episodes to the shapeless, tedious later episodes was quite depressing, and I haven't touched them since.

[Lord Tesla]

Hey, the first movie sucked. This one takes place after the show's events, not during them.

Yes, the first one sucked. So did (almost all of) the final--what was it, four seasons? Somehow, it seemed to drag on a lot longer than that. I'm not sure what difference it makes that the events in this film will postdate the wrap-up of series continuity. How does that affect the likelihood of a(nother) disaster?

Mulder looking like the CSM? That might be the very best way to insult him...

Indeed, looking like CSM. Like father, like son. It might insult him, but, with every reflective surface he encounters offering the same insult, how much real offensive power can it still have?

It makes a difference because the new film is set after the events of the entire series, while the first movie was set right in the middle of two seasons and sort of screwed with the continuity.

I just think It'd be interesting if the resemblance is noted by someone in the film.

Hmm. I still don't get it. In the end, screwed-up-ness of the series remains unchanged, so it neither helps nor hurts what has gone before it that the new film happens after the series. Neither is it clear how that in any way helps IWTB (even the initials are...underwhelming) avoid being a disaster in its own right.



I just think It'd be interesting if the resemblance is noted by someone in the film.

It'd make for a nice moment. In my opinion, the only thing that can possibly make this film interesting is if the Gunmen return:


CSM: "Marita never told you what happened to Frohike."

[Yes, I know CSM is supposed to be dead, but--SO what?:) ]

Mulder: "Frohike's dead. He's buried in Arlington, with Langly and Byers."

CSM: "No. He's alive, and taking Scully out on Thursday..."

Mulder: "No. That's not true! That's impossible!"

etc., etc. Or something like that. :wink:


And that would make for a helluva continuity snarl....

The X-Files: I Want to Believe (http://movies.com/the-x-files-2/d925040/sci-fi)
Cold Hearted Killer The first spooky trailer (http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/379767/the-x-files-i-want-to-believe/videos/xfilestrailer_050908.html) has Mulder and Scully investigating a young girl found frozen to death under an ice-covered lake. Although we don't get to see any aliens or monsters who may have killed the victim, I have my suspicions it's gonna turn out to be an evil Frosty the Snowman.


movies.com

[Jjm3233]

The movie, without giving anything away - I enjoyed it; it had the feeling of a good non-mytharc episode. Asked questions, left the answers, mostly, to the viewers.

[Darth Massacrus]

I saw the movie, and, not to give anything away, would recommend it even to somebody who has never seen the show. But the best thing about the film was that it showed that movies still can be made with no CGI whatsoever (at least, as far as I could tell).

[empire21]

I was going to go see it but I think I'll wait for the Blu-Ray.

[P-Ray]

^I may end up waiting to DVD as well!

[P-Ray]

I had someone come into work today (who is a big X-Files fan) stating that I want to believe is extremely boring with no reason to see it on the big screen. He stated that he wanted his $ back and that it was at best an average tv episode!

Has anyone seen it recently with a different (or even better) opinion?

I can't find any good reviews, so I will most likely wait for DVD or watch it online:wink:

[empire21]

I haven't heard anything good about it myself, P-Ray.

Still not gonna stop me from getting the DVD. :wink:

[Kapit]

To put it in a better light, it's very methodically paced, much like the show. Honestly, nothing really "exciting" happens. It's very, very story heavy.

It is interesting though. I don't know if it's worth paying anything over $5 for a ticket, but still worth a watch eventually
