Ehh, this show has always drawn from every government conspiracy and folklore they could find. Chemtrails are just another one. Almost surprised there hasn't been a flat earth episode yet.

And considering that absolutely everything they do is always true, I can't wait for them to imply that the Earth is really flat even though they went to Antarctica and saw a freaking city-sized UFO fly off from the continent that isn't supposed to be there.

Tobolowsky was in an episode of The Lone Gunmen, though. I think it was kind of a parody of his role from Memento, with him having some kind of memory-rewrite thing, though it's been so long since I've seen it that I might be completely missing the mark.

Was Dr. Marvin Candle from Lost the pickup artist author in the William episode? That was some excellent casting and I hope the real one shows up later, and that he is also the rogue scientist guy they mentioned.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
So I was halfway through Season 2 when the X-Files left Netflix, but I noticed that seasons 3-11 are available from Fox on demand from my cable box. Anybody know how long these will be up? I want to finish the series, but I don't want it to feel like a chore where I have to rush to finish it before it disappears.

Not sure about those, but the whole series is up on Hulu if that's an option.

I’m still working my way through this season, but can someone other than Chris Carter explain to me why Skinner is suddenly no longer a Mulder ally again? Especially after being so firmly entrenched on their side in the last seasons of the original run.

Why the gently caress does Carter feel the need to constantly reset the relationships on this show?

Skinner himself kinda lays it all out at the end of the episode I just finished. It’s clear now that he’s playing CSM to try and get to the bottom of things, but it still begs the question ‘Why is Carter pulling this poo poo yet again?’ And why are Mulder and Scully still so hesitant to trust him after all these years? It makes no sense for these characters.

Also :laffo: at ending on a literal chemtrail montage like it’s some great and powerful “makes u think huh” moment.

Honestly when they said there was gonna be a Skinner episode I assumed it had to do with the nanomachines CSM and Krycek used to control him for like, half the original run

Speaking of killer robots, just pay the drat tip Mulder!

I'm honestly not sure if that was their earnest attempt at a Black Mirror episode, or if that was them doing a parody of Black Mirror. I feel like either is equally possible given the uneven episode quality this season. I think I liked it, but I liked it much more when it was called Ghost in the Machine.

This season has been better than last season, but that pretty much goes without saying since 10 was the absolute nadir of the show. The only completely unredeemable episodes so far have been My Struggle III, This (for wasting a Langly return), and Ghouli, though Ghouli was more boring than bad.

It's funny...

You were so scary at night.
"My Struggle III" was the only one I hated, and even that was a step up from I and II. "The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat" and "Rm9sbG93ZXJz" are great, but even the rest of the episodes have ranged from forgettable at worst to really good.

I think it's been a success so far and even though I'm extremely cautious about "My Struggle IV" I'm glad season 11 as a whole exists.
