Any guesses as to what they're teasing with the mysterious 7/7/2015 popping up on social media today regarding the new movie?

I figure the first trailer?

Isn't that the week of comic-con? My guess is they'll show footage or a trailer at a panel.

I've started season 6, is this the last one before Mulder disappears and can I just skip to the final season if it gets really bad? Or should I just end it here?

Mulder is present for the entirety of season 7, but people usually say that's where the mytharc starts to really devolve. I personally really enjoyed season 7, though, and there are significant sections of the main story arc in that season you may not want to miss. Season 8 is where Mulder disappears, but the season is about his eventual return, so you may not want to miss the ending. Season 9 basically has no Mulder in it for the entirety until the finale.

I skipped to the finale and was totally into it...and then it became something else for an hour. Something....horrible.

And then it got schlocky, and I realize I watched that episode live when I was a kid. Super weird.

Also, keep your eyes on https://twitter.com/thexfilesfox. Today is the day when the countdown ends. I'm crossing my fingers for the Blu-Ray announcement, but it will likely be a teaser trailer or a rewatch event.

I forget where I saw it but some news place did a picture analysis of Mulders new office and there was something about a VHS player showing his addiction to old porn. :3:

The X-Files
Posted June 26 2015 — 9:49 AM EDT

Chris Carter breaks down some of the items that can be seen on the set of Mulder’s home in The X-Files 2.0.

1. Vacuum Cleaner
“The idea here is that Mulder has kind of moved into his living room. It should suggest something else about Mulder that I won’t spoil, but Mulder has moved into the central room of his house, and everything that might come into play in such a messy house is in that room.”

2. Newspaper Clippings and Graphs on the Wall
“There’s a theme here on this wall, a UFO/extraterrestrial theme. This is the accumulation of a man’s obsession,” Carter says.

3. VCR
Those VHS tapes? They’re meant to suggest one of Mulder’s edgier character traits: his appreciation for porn. Carter states, “Mulder’s porn addiction is currently firmly in check. These are remnants of a former obsession.”

4. “I Want to Believe” Poster
Composed of hundreds of tiny photos, this Easter egg is the creation of a fan group called X-Philanthropy that asked fellow “X-Philes” to buy a spot in the mosaic, with proceeds going to Gillian Anderson’s SA-YES charity.

5. Trunk
“The tattered furniture here -represents Mulder’s tattered life,” says Carter. “Mulder has always been a fringe dweller, in every sense of the term. You can imagine him on the outskirts of society, and maybe sanity.”

6. Map on the Wall
A chart of UFO sightings, of course. (That’s a lot of probing.)

I'm finally getting around to season 9, but man is it a slog. I like Doggett, but Reyes and her dumb psychic powers are so painful to watch.

One thing I noticed when I recently re-watched the series is that Scully's a dead-eye marksman. When she shoots at something she almost always hits it.

I've watched Hannibal recently, and it actually ruined my hype for XFiles because Anderson's performance in that series is abysmal, and that's putting it mildly. Hopefully she'll do better once reintroduced to the Files.

You're in the minority on that one. Most people seem to really enjoy her character on Hannibal. It's a stylized performance, but so are all of them on that show.

The only reason I haven't bought any of the X-Files Pop Vinyls is because they gave Scully a flashlight and Mulder a gun, instead of vice versa like it should be. It's a ridiculous thing to complain about, but it bugs me.

One episode I would be interested to see them follow up on is Eve. Seems like you could do a lot more with that premise. (Although the same could be said for countless other episodes of the show I guess)

One of the few episodes to hold the honor of inspiring a relatively popular lovely 90s band.

God, I hope they don't do a "Scully and Mulder are separated, but will they or won't they get back together?"

They love doing crap like that and it is always annoying. If I recall correctly, Carter or Spotnitz even admitted to changing the script of the 2nd movie to make it ambiguous whether they were together until the scene in bed (and then just for good measure had to have scully almost leave him).

The internet seems to be failing me here - is Fox actually airing this 1 episode a day marathon somewhere, or are they just encouraging fans to do it? Half of the articles i read seem to imply they're airing it, but without any channel or time specified, while others say it's just a "fan encouragement" thing.

Personally, I don't see why they wouldn't air it. It's not like there's tons of other original programming on FXX at 8pm that can't be relocated.

Watching the 2 episodes where Mulder switches bodies with someone and Rachel, Nevada is nothing like in the show. There is gently caress all there and that includes roads lol. Assuming thats where Morris Fletcher lives and the show doesn't have them driving 3 hours just to get drunk

The mailbox doesn't exist anymore either
