I bought two/three parter episodes on VHS back in the early 90's as they were sold as "movies" of sorts. They had 10 or so in total, made from different arcs like Tooms/Squeeze, the numbered train car/Japanese alien autopsy video arc, Emily, Duane Barry and the Max stuff etc. I even have the novelization of "Squeeze" and the Tooms/Squeeze VHS movie gave me nightmares for weeks. I still have the tapes somewhere too. (Not my picture)

War of the Coprophages is also one of my (many) favorite episodes for all the weird poo poo Scully is shown to get up to in her free time whenever Mulder calls her about killer buuuuugs scully

Anyone remember the trading cards that came with the tapes? There was some crazy good art on those cards (looked like oil paintings) depicting some iconic image from that particular episode.

She wants to have a demon baby, but every time a human male impregnates her the child comes out normal, so she kills it and moves on. By the time M&S figure this out, she's gotten knocked up by Campbell's character, stopped him from killing it, and escaped.

My most prominent memory about the tattoo episode is going nuts over trying to connect the tattoo's voice to a name which I couldnt do until the credits rolled. Jodie Foster

I heard that quote is from a Nerdist podcast or whatever Anderson did some time ago? Can anyone confirm if she actually said that? Some people are saying it's a misquote or something. Would be cool though.

The last movie was a lot like a toned-down, realistic MOTW episode which focused a lot more on the Mulder/Scully dynamic which set it apart from the formula. I liked it. Also the end credits sequence was rad as hell, really cool editing and the X-Files theme remix is great. I'm excited as hell for the upcoming series.

They don't have to be mutually exclusive, you could have a mythology episode with a MOTW wrapping, some episodes more or less of either. Six hour long episodes isn't too bad to wrap some things up and have it be entertaining, good ol' X-Files stuff.

Honestly, I'm more jazzed about CSM being back, as much as Skinner (and Doggett/Reyes to a lesser extent) would be nice to have back. I know CSM is dead or whatever but still. He was always in the best myth episodes.

I remember thinking the stiching was more symbolic than some kind of a preventive measure. I might've made that up though.

The second movie was all about paving the way to bring CSM back as a head sewn onto a dog's body.

I don't see why they couldn't keep it going if the response is good. Schedules permitting, anyway.

Yeah, by schedules permitting I should've specified that I was thinking more along the lines of more "mini-seasons" like this one, not full-on revival of the show. Having it be shorter and more focused would do it more of a service anyway and, again if it's a big enough hit, they could give it a year or so between seasons to make sure no one is too busy.

I just remembered that I have the novelization of that particular episode and I remember it being better than the episode was, though I still dig that episode. I also have novelizations of Squeeze (or one of the two Tooms episodes) and one, longer story called The Blood Wind or some such that's about a small hurricane that skins people to death. I haven't read any of them in like 15 years so I can't remember more than that, really. I'm pretty sure the latter wasn't made into an episode though.

The second and fourth eps barely justified watching this run. The first and last episodes were bafflingly bad and embarrassing to watch. The were-monster episode had a few good bits but much like the shroom trip in ep 5 (also bad and embarrassing), every joke went on for too long. Two and four were the only ones that actually felt x-filesy to me but I kind of had to meet them halfway.

I didn't find I Want To Believe all that objectionable, if anything it was the  factor that kept me drawn in. Also it had a pretty rad end credits sequence.

Gillian Anderson is done with the show after this season, officially. So as far as I'm concerned, The X-Files is dead.
