I AM GRANDO posted:And that lone oboe of comedy. I personally like the romantic music that plays whenever mysterious blonde mystery woman from Season 4 (whose name I don’t care to remember) shows up near Mulder. As far as I know, that never went anywhere.

My kids pointed out that she has the same hair as Scully. (TBF, it was the 90s, so everyone had that hair)

I’m watching the show (again) with my kids. I watched it originally when it aired and my sister and I were obsessed with it back then. We’re on Season 4 right now, somewhere in the middle. Random thoughts so far: Episode that scared the kids the most: Squeeze Kids’ favorite episode: The sidesshow one (I forgot the name) Overall best episode: Clyde Buckman’s Final Repose. This has edged out Jose Chung as my favorite episode during this viewing. Every character is just so charming. I know that’s a weird thing to say, but sometimes Mulder comes off as a dick and Scully as a pretentious loser. In this episode, they feel like the perfect essence of each character and I just like them more. Plus, Peter Boyle is great and the mystery is fun and clever. Overall worst episode: Any lovely ‘ethnic’ episode. Or most episodes with Chris Carter as co-writer. Especially, any episodes with Chris Carter writing where we get Scully or Mulder reading their word-salad diary out loud.

bagmonkey posted:OP IMO the worst episode is the Scully religious crisis episode because it sucked every bit of rear end possible and then got ignored We haven’t got to most of those yet. What’s Cerulean Blue? Is that from Pusher? Some other thoughts… Kids loved the cockroach episode. I still found it pretty enjoyable. I can now (as an adult) appreciate the episode with the Satanic teachers. Just the opening scene where they’re arguing about the content of a potential school play before their black mass was pretty great.

I think we’ll watch the good Season 5 episodes and then maybe some recommended from the later seasons and stop there. Also, I know I’ve seen the 2nd movie, but I have zero recollection of anything about it except that either Mulder or Scully wasn’t really in it (I can’t remember which one).

Cornwind Evil posted:I am surprised you let them watch Home, and that it wasn't the one that scared the kids the most. I didn’t. We’ve been skipping some. I think I skipped 2shy, too. Also. I’d totally forgotten they killed off Pendrill before he even got to go on a date with Scully.

It always felt weird to me that Mulder kept pursuing this elusive, nebulous alien conspiracy when right at his fingertips he had a human leech, ghosts, psychics, time travelers, werewolves, random shape-changing dude, guy who could grow a new head, etc.

I AM GRANDO posted:Having any kind of world-changing implications from the motw episodes is complicated by having all of the superpowered or supernatural one-off people be gross criminals or unfixable perverts independent of whatever magic thing they do. Nobody could ever convince that lightning kid to do anything good or even be curious about what he can do. Even scientists are usually obsessed with revenge from beyond the grave or some poo poo instead of taking Scully or their old department chair aside for five minutes to explain how it works. I have to assume that there are non-human-flesh-eating mutants, conscientious and kind superpowered folk, and actual discrete evil scientists just out there living their boring lives and never attracting the attention of FBI agents.
