Quote-Unquote posted:Late season truth: Doggett was awesome and Reyes is unbearably poo poo. Once Robert Patrick showed up, I pretty much stopped watching. I didn't enjoy the government conspiracy/aliens thing (except the one where you find out that CSM is responsible for every major event in the 20th century) anywhere near as much as I enjoyed the episodes about paranormal/weird poo poo that was wrapped up in a one hour program.

The one where the cyber chick is being hunted with satellite laser cannons, and it turns out that the super complex AI that is growing to conquer the earth is in a loving white trash trailer with ONE power line next to it.

Was there one where a guy uploaded his conciousness onto the internet or was that one of Lowtax's zany schemes?

Stick Figure Mafia posted:There literally is nothing on network television even close to X-Files. x files is kinda fun and was pretty popular when I was at school so people watched it but it is no way as good as things like hannibal which I think is on network television. i dont really know what that means though.

wrong dude they were creatures who had existed undisturbed by man except when ponce de leon was tramping around florida looking for the fountain of youth, the episode was all about how urban expansion disrupts wild life. also a good episode.

Frostwerks posted:whats the title It was this one. "Upon leaving the forest, Mulder states that the creature may, in fact, be an evolved version of the first Spanish conquistadors who had first settled in the forest 450 years before. Although Kinsley finds it ridiculous, Mulder believes that centuries of seclusion could be adequate for such drastic adaptations to happen."

Bruteman posted:It was this one. Also, the next episode is pretty good if not off the wall because the monster is obsessed with the movie Mask starring Cher and there's a late series episode that is just COPS featuring Mulder and Scully and then there's the episode where the dude has a tail and can shapeshift. The show had a lot of memorable episodes is what I'm saying.

Yeah, I didn't realize that until I read the description and was like "why did the monster get a happy ending he is clearly a terrible rapist?"

Another great one was the one where the corporate guy is going crazy due to some aliens or insects that infect people and he shoots his boss and takes mulder hostage and then mulder goes crazy for a bit. Had a they live vibe to it. All the monster of the week ones were pretty great. The conspiracy stuff ran hot or cold with me. Some of them were neat but then there were episodes that were just so boring. Watching the show again, any time Agent Crychek is on screen I'm all "OOOOO you fucker"

Inside Out Mom posted:Another great one was the one where the corporate guy is going crazy due to some aliens or insects that infect people and he shoots his boss and takes mulder hostage and then mulder goes crazy for a bit. Had a they live vibe to it. That one is excellent because it's one of the only episodes where Mulder doesn't go "Is it really so hard to believe, Scully? Records of hive-like cults dating back to ancient Sumeria clearly show humans worshiping insectile overlords, doing their bidding until they are reduced to mindless undead drones, not unlike the Haitian zombi legends." Like it seems obvious that never revealing what the monsters are would tend to make the story scarier but The X Files hardly ever really did that, Mulder just takes a wild guess and is always right.

cis white male posted:A lot of X-Files is cheesier than people remember, but Jose Chung's From Outer Space is one of the greatest episodes of any tv show, It's a perfect encapsulation of the entire series and just a triumph of sci-fi storytelling. a story about stories.

The trip to Vegas for the Men in Black gathering or whatever where Scully get's 'drunk' was pretty good. It's always great to see the Area 51 man in black guy that Mulder switched bodies with.

99% of the best ones are Mulder era ones, but I did like the alternate dimension episode with the T1000. Last few seasons were really hit or miss, but there's the occasional great episode here or there.

X-Files is completely unique in retrospect for being completely amazing or unadulterated horse poo poo from episode to episode. Monster of the weeks forever, y'all.

i like Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose and Jose Chung's From Outer Space as much as the next guy, but they're not typical X-Files episodes. they're basically parodies of the X-Files. so i get why everyone lists them as their favorites, but at the same time thye're not representative of the show as a whole. i think there are really good MOTW episodes that have a more legitimate claim to being The X-Files at its peak, since they actually feel like they're an honest part of the show
