GamingHyena posted: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.

Yeah, on the Netflix bandwagon from S01E01. It's so good. So glad for this new mini-season. I'd forgotten how good this show was.

Stultus Maximus posted:Lord Kinbote. Thanks haha. Knew it was something like that. Also, I just rewatched the Were-man episode, and would have been totally cool if that was the series finale. I admit, it would be a little weird for the overall tone of the show to have ended on a comedy episode. Definitely one of my Top 5 episodes of the series though.

Acer Pilot posted:This wasn't really an auction, it was a liquidation sale for three TV productions in the city. Happens a few times a year and I notice most of the people attending are from the movie industry or resellers. Most of the stuff is usually unlabelled but you can sometimes find some tags/labels on stuff that was featured on camera rather than just background. My favourite piece is some random bullet riddled/bloody uniform from Stargate. Very nice finds. It has to be kind of weird looking at random stuff and wondering if you won't kick yourself later for passing on it when you see it in an episode.

I did manage to get the last FBI and Coroner jackets from the X-Files though. There were one or two coroner hats too but oh well.

I must either of have really simple tastes and be easily impressed or maybe I'm just really good at guessing the kinds of things I like and avoiding the things I won't.

I'm enjoying my Season 1 rewatch more than anything else on TV right now. Even if the new episodes had all been poo poo, it would have been worth it because it made me remember how much I loved this show and how good it was. I'm on the Jersey Devil right now.

Well Manicured Man posted:The X-files was one of the first shows to have a (relatively) massive online fandom, considering the size and scope of the internet at the time. The AOL X-Files Chatroom was the best. It would have been cool if they ended the series on Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster but end the episode with the visuals of Mulder and Scully going for a walk together at the end of Babylon but without the monologue. And a better song. Credits roll.

Atrocious Joe posted:Babylon became extra disappointing for me when I remembered how shady the FBI can be about breaking up "terror plots". Even the less ridiculous conspiracies about the Boston Bombing could be the foundation of an episode. Unimaginative? Sure. Racist? A bit over the top.

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.

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.

Emetic Hustler posted:Re-watched the mytharc episodes of the original series and it really fell apart towards the end. Was there a list of the good MOTW episodes per season on this thread or did I imagine it? I was going to do that but 3/4 through season 1 I am not regretting just watching all of them. Like I just said, I thought Lazarus sounded dumb and didn't remember it at all, and ended up really liking it.

My Q-Face posted:Even the new stuff is a bit. The Anthrax Vaccine stuff? The Anthrax scare was manufactured (the Anthrax that "got loose" came from a Govt. lab) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense mandated that all service members (close to one million of them) get the vaccine and all the required booster shots, to the tune of billions of dollars. The thing is, a lot of the people involved in that decision who worked at the OSD at the time are now sitting on the board or are officers in the only company that makes that particular vaccine. I got deployed in the middle of the anthrax series so they had to start over because it had been too long. Then the second time they stopped because I was told the lab that made it failed a health inspection and got shut down. So, yeah, cool, I got part of the anthrax series twice. E: I'm watching Duane Barry now. Red Speedo! I didn't remember it's origins.

Ascension is really, really good. Loving watching Skinner go from being a dickhead to a total badass. That part of it is making me angry at how underutilized he was in the event series. I'm having so much fun with this rewatch. The grocery store scene in Duane Barry was one of my favorites and I had totally forgotten about it.

WMain00 posted:Just caught up with the final episode and what the gently caress. Just what the gently caress? Having started watching the original series again AFTER the recent limited series, a few observations. Having only seen the first few seasons years ago, the 2016 series hit all the right nostalgia notes. Having watched older episodes to compare them too my reaction the new episodes is now considerably less favorable. Now that I really remember just how good this series STARTED, the new mytharc episodes are pretty dreadful. Garbage man and were-monster made it all worth it, though.

I just finished: The List - most boring episode so far. 5/10 2Shy - Creepy and good. 8/10 The Walk - why is it so hard for TV shows to get military uniforms right. Hell, I would help them with it for free. 7/10 Oubliette - Solid MOTW, very satisfying to see Mulder shoot the dude. 7/10

Chairman Capone posted:Isn't Fox still trying to do another season of X-Files? I can only hope that Chris Carter's influence is somehow reduced. Even if it's just not letting him write any episode on his own. My understanding is that every person involved wants to do it but it is just a matter of scheduling. Given that the X-Files is not the main focus for most of them it could be a while.

I'll be forever grateful for this last season because it inspired me to watch from the beginning. I had really forgotten just how goddam great this show was. Plus I realized that due to college and hearing it good bad I figure I must have stopped watching in season 4. In four episodes into season 5 so now I'm enjoying xfiles episodes that are both great and new to me.

Gobbeldygook posted:It's a really good episode but kind of unsettling that we're supposed to have sympathy for a man who impregnated most of the women in a town with animal-human hybrids without their consent in order to create a mate for his son. Well, yeah. There is that. Still, it was an incredibly weird gamble that mostly hit big.
