Were people bad mouthing the X-Files OP? Agent Scully was a hugely influential character.

SidneyIsTheKiller posted:There's this broadcast channel called Comet that I didn't even know existed before this year and I swear half their entire lineup is the X-Files. Bro! I can't get cable, only have an antennae, and Comet is my jam! Here's the Monday through Friday lineup: 10 - Farscape 11 - 2 - Stargate SG1 3 - 6 - Grimm (A fun weird show, like a supernatural soap opera, or also "Boy Buffy") 6 - 9 - Buffy The Vampire Slayer 9 - 12 - The X-Files I usually turn it on and rip off the knob.

Nightmare Cinema posted:Twin Peaks is more revolutionary I think, but I first saw TP and the first 5 seasons of X-files back-to-back and had to supress an incredible urge to set up a pirate radio signal in the middle of a forest. Yeah Twin Peaks really is the beginning, and the X-Files owes a lot to it. Hard to believe that first season of Twin Peaks was a phenomena. It's so weird!

They also show a lot of OG Godzilla movies and ‘60s/‘70s/‘80s B-movie horror, schlock, and sci-fi. It’s like reliving a local UHF channel in the ‘80s.

It's ironic. Scully's skepticism in the face of unrelenting weirdness is the most unexplainable aspect of the show.

dr_rat posted:Setting a reboot in like the 70's or something could work. It might be a bit confusing wither it was a prequel or whatever, but feel like the 70's were a good time for weird conspiracy theories, plus it's a bit modern, but not too modern, and you still have seemingly un-explored places and unknowns. People aren't walking around with smart phones taking videos 24/7 and what not. A pre-Watergate X-Files would be fantastic. A naive, optimistic population...

Disco Pope posted:There were a couple of X-Files teen novels released within the last few years, dealing with teen Mulder and Scully respectively. While they're probably not canon, The Mulder one was fun and covers the events that spark his interest in the FBI. There's no supernatural or cryptozoologica stuff in it though, just a (surprisingly grim for a YA book) normal hosed up guy. I should read the Scully one one slow evening. Drop the names of these novels, please.

Apparently tonight they're airing Chopping Mall and Piranha, but right now they're playing... wait for it... The X-Files. God I love them. They have weekend Godzilla marathons often enough. It reminds me of the old Saturday morning "Creature Double Features" on Boston Channel 56.

dr_rat posted:Yep. I'd say the main difference is that that their were plenty of reoccurring demons and angels and what not who were actual characters and the dean brothers wern't trying to expose some thruth they were just trying to kill evil stuff cos that what they do. This makes the Atmosphere of the shows quite different as well. Supernature was more fantasy/action/comedy where as x-files was more horror/mystery. In general different episodes obviously could lean more towards some aspect or another. Well said. Would you also describe it as a science vibe v overt supernatural vibe?

dr_rat posted:yeah, while supernatural stuff happens in the x-files it is pretty much all shown to have at least hints of scientific backing. Supernaturals just like science? lol what, the devil, god are just a thing and fantasy/magic crap just exists all of the joint. My overall take of Supernatural was pretty close, you know, IMO. I just love the overlay of "Fake FBI" dealing with angles and demons. Like an inverted X-Files maybe? lol

Can someone successfully and succinctily summarize the "Mythology" storyline? The black goo, the aliens, the bees, the abductions, etc. I can't do it successfully, but IIRC the whole plot was a long term project by a group of humans working with aliens to create an alien-human hybrid. The aliens were the dominant partner in this relationship. Am I close?

SPACE HOMOS posted:The reason its hard to follow is the reason why the G-men are doing things is a moving goal post. The writers didn't have a 'bible' so much as Chris Carters rantings. I bet you are close, but.... not that succinct. lol I forgot about the aliens with the sealed eyes and mouth (though I can see the actor clearly, I think. He was in everything back then. He plays the second in command Vampire in Buffy Season 1), and the fact that there were rival alien factions. Which of course complicates the plot greatly, but is also cool.
