A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

Mind if I ask how you felt on that? It seemed innocent enough if veering a bit more on the negative side.

In the original run they even got FOX to do the sweepers in out of commercials with the X logo and the flashers over it.

FOX was really worried that people would think it was COPS and made them run the main theme after the cops theme which they didn't want to do.

Yeah, there's been a lot about Scully being immortal. From a man who can predict death telling her she never does, and her place in death being taken by someone who themselves were seemingly immortal.

If I remember, there was an episode where Everybody Loves Raymond's dad could tell when you would die. He couldn't tell when Scully would die, therefore she must be immortal.

There was also that episode where the photographer who couldn't die transferred his immortality to Scully.

What, what's the deal with this? I didn't get the "I'm immortal" reference. (Edit: Thanks. Oh yeah, I remember that immortal photographer episode.)

I've been watching the original run again. I'm up to season 7. The Biogenesis/Sixth Extinction arc was weird. I'm getting the feel that the show is going downhill, but I'm planning to stick out.

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose

You'd be hard pressed to find a Top episodes list that doesn't have this in the Top 5 and there is a good reason for it. I'll admit, I stopped watching the show at some point during college (it premiered when I was a junior in high school) but that episode stuck with me (that and Jose Chung's From Outer Space) through the years. It was a beautiful hour of television.

That was really, really good. That episode should have been the finale of the original series.

Its kinda weird for any new fans I guess. With just six episodes its hard to have the tone swing back and forth so dramatically like that without nostalgia working in your favor.

So many great little touches in that episode. Like Scully calling out Mulder for damaging 'her poster.' She bought him a new one after he ripped the last one up in ep 1. :unsmith:
