Nail Rat posted:The original mytharc was acceptable enough, but after the syndicate was destroyed they tried to keep it going by heaping piles of more poo poo on top. Said poo poo was bad. That's why when I do re-watches I watch until the Syndicate dies and then pretty much stop. There are some good motws after that but the Myth arc becomes complete garbage.

Just having interesting ideas or stories (I'm not saying here was any) doesn't make good tv or story telling. That whole last episode was just exposition and plot advancement without any subtlety or pacing or cohesion.

I"m really looking forward to that (just finished "Space" on what is my first rewatch ever). I don't quite remember the details, but I remember cheering at my TV when Skinner confronted CSM.

It's kind of funny to me they actually bothered to change the opening sequence to include Skinner's badge when he's hardly even does anything in the episodes he is in. His appearances: Episode 1: My Stuggle: "Welcome back, I'm Skinner, don't gently caress up." Episode 5: Babylon: "I'm Skinner, and drat it Mulder you hosed up." Episode 6: My Struggle II: "Find Agent Mulder. Because he's hosed up."

Skinner is the scary dad you're really afraid of disappointing. Not because he'll beat you or be mad or anything, but because you'll know you let him down and he'll just be quietly disappointed in you. Did he ever get back with his wife after she got possessed by that killer ghost stripper or whatever?

Skinner got his ID in the opening during season 9 (or maybe even 8) so it made since for them to keep it even though they reverted back to the old intro instead of the slightly newer one they used later. Also he deserves it even if he was barely in this, I like that guy a lot

Scully has alien DNA due to her abduction/experiments which saves her from the man-made/alien-inspired virus which was placed in the populace via the smallpox vaccine, now the solution is to spread her alien DNA via IV bags to save humanity/Mulder but now I guess Alien Baby William has just shown up in a UFO to do something

Thoughts throughout the episode: -Why does it seem like Einstein holds out and screams and insults and then just kind of goes along with this poo poo? It was the same in Babylon too. -Okay so wait, I thought the smoking man was trying to, in his own selfish way, protect humanity or at least a small part of it? -How the hell do they manage to talk in enigmatic riddles when everybody involved knows what's going on? -Wait the primary tension in this episode was that Scully didn't do a thorough enough job on a DNA test? -Why the gently caress do we need stem cells?

That whole tripping balls segment was by itself as good as the Guy Mann episode. The rest of the episode though  Slate Action posted:The real question is, is X-Files worth continuing if Chris Carter is going to continue writing half the episodes (which he probably is). That would mean he's not writing half of the episodes. Enderzero posted:Gunmen Going Their Lone Way I lolled to the point that I had to get up and walk away, well done.

So was it only the smallpox vaccine?? (Also this vaccine part pissed me off because a rapid pro-vaxer) but the didn't they stop small pox vaccines in the 70s or something? So what about everyone who didn't get a SP vax?

It alter their DNA so the people who got new vaccines were hit immediately while radio waves and chemtails infected those who got it pass on to them

Still loving my rewatch, even some of the episodes I didn't think sounded particularly good from the synopsis, and didn't remember are actually really good. Case in point, Lazarus.

I recently watched 'Rush' from season 7 and it addressed something I think should've come up in the show more often: broken spacetime. I know like every other episode of Star Trek explored "temporal/spatial anomalies" but I always liked the X-Files MOTW episodes where the universe just screws up somehow. What are some other episodes in a similar vein? The only ones I can think of are Soft Light and Monday, and technically Dreamland.

Like I just said, I thought Lazarus sounded dumb and didn't remember it at all, and ended up really liking it.
