I think there is supposed to be new footage of the new season during this week's episode of Gotham, whenever that is. No idea what will be shown- anyone know?

corn in the fridge posted:honestly its hard to imagine there being a worse xfiles episode than that video game one in season 7 That ep had a pretty weak feminist message that shoots itself in the foot. It could have been done a lot better but Duchovny and Anderson in paintball gear look pretty sweet.

I have friends that still use "cowboy up" out of awe for that mess. We saw it on the first airing.

What are some good non-American folklore episodes? The ones that immediately spring to mind are Hell Money, Teso dos Bichos, and Teliko, but I know there are more. I always found those interesting because they use mythology in other countries I never would've known about otherwise.

The Gift. Native American folklore is American folklore, though. e: Actually, it looks like the writers just made that stuff up and/or threw together aspects of a few different folkloric traditions for that. The Choctaw soul eater doesn't work like that at all. Never mind, carry on. Still a good episode. Feedbacker fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Teso dos Bichos has this on its IMDB trivia page: Originally the script called for hordes of common house cats to attack Mulder and Scully. Unfortunately, the cats refused to attack under direction and did pretty much nothing. All felines, from little kitten to big tigers, are absolutely lazy when having well fed and not in danger. 14 of 15 found this interesting | Share this I saw that the other day, and something about it cracked me up.

Yeah, Teso, Hell Money and Teliko are all kinda horrible to me, especially in the way they treat the cultures they're taking about. I like Arcadia as an even further westernized version of the Nepalese tulpa. Fresh Bones is cool if you consider voodoo non-american. Je Souhaite is pretty great for a later season comedy episode. A lot of eps about non-western mythology are very much a product of their time and feel kinda wtf as a viewer in 2015. Lots of casual stereotyping and weird Mulder witticisms.

I think Teliko is a decent MotW episode, and I feel like its cultural stuff is more... awkward and unfortunate than malicious, I guess. Teso and Hell Money are no good.

Hell Money isn't too bad, it's just incredibly boring. You get one cool visual in the cold open and everything after is just a big wet fart.

Trip report after two X-Files viewing nights: First night, I stuck with Pilot/Deep Throat. Pilot was very well received, Deep Throat went over OK, but not as well as Pilot (although people enjoyed Seth Green as a youngster). With Pilot, everyone reacted big at the nosebleed-at-the-diner scene, which made me happy because that's one of my favorite moments from that episode. A lot of "oh shiiiiits" when that happened. Second night was even more of a hit. I showed "Beyond the Sea" and ended up going with "Home" because I just thought this crowd would enjoy it. Was correct with Home. Lots of screams and "what the fucks," especially with the "I'm ready" line. Also got a big laugh at the Elvis scene. I was proud, though, because they really seemed to enjoy "Beyond the Sea" the most. The ending is so effective, and everyone was totally silent when Scully delivered her final line. Then applause. One of my friends that came said he already watched the first 5-6 episodes of season 1 after the first night we did this, and everyone requested we do a third viewing, so I'd like to think I've converted some folks. Success!

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/arts/television/the-x-files-home-scary-tv.html?_r=0 Neat article/interview with Morgan and Wong about "Home". The most interesting bit in it is that they had been ready to start working on a script for Millennium that would have Frank Black find the remaining members of the Peacock family when Fox found out and told them that "those characters are never to appear on TV again."

So I just started listening to The X-Files Files podcast - I'm still on the first episode, but I can tell I'm going to love it, when they were talking about their experiences first watching the show, it's like they're talking directly to me. Also I loved listening to Kumail talk about his experience watching the second movie on opening night.

This, more or less. I've followed this a bit and some of them are monster of the week episodes with a random mythology related scene which isn't really absolutely necessary to see. joepinetree posted:Season 1

I think season six is one of the worst seasons. Like, worse than at least one of the Doggett seasons. It's been a while since I watched any in order, though. I just remember having really bad reactions to more of season six than season eight or nine.

Some of the MotW episodes are actually pretty fantastic though. Arcadia, Monday, Triangle, and Field Trip are all season 6.

He totally is- they just forgot how to write him for like 90% of season 9, where he goes from the decent pragmatist of season 8 into just a dick. Reyes isn't even awful in the 2-parter where they introduce her, or when her and Doggett are getting their swerve on, but outside of that, yeah, yikes.
