My fiancée never really watched the show and I haven’t in a long time so we’ve spent all day jumping around to random episodes. I’ve basically been clicking on seasons and scrolling until I recognized an episode I love and hitting play. Plus reading through this thread. Goddamn I almost forgot how good this show is.

Watching the Stephen King written episode Chinga. What is up with Mulder being instantly like “no, haunted dolls are bullshit from movies”? It’s one of the most common tropes he should at least reference the Warrens even though they were full of poo poo It also really feels like a story King wrote and then crammed Mulder and Scully into. They’re barely in the episode. Carter is also credited as a writer so maybe King just sent him an old short and he slid some X-Files into it where he could. EDIT: Holy poo poo I’ve somehow never seen Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man or saw it when I was young enough that I don’t remember it and this episode OWNS Unmature fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Oct 19, 2020 |

Just ordered a couple of the extended universe paperbacks. Any recommendations? Seems like they all might just be pretty standard tv show tie-in books but that’s good enough for me. Do any of them rise above that?

Watching season 1 for the first time in forever and it is crazy how differently Scully and Mulder are styled. You think of “The X-Files” and you think angular thin pale people in black and white and season 1 is like all mauve pantsuits and poofy hair. They keep Mulder a little more drab but he just looks dorky in his striped shirts and thick fabric suits. Everyone has shoulder pads. Also forgot an alien ghost sabotaged the Challenger. Huh.

howe_sam posted:You can also use the show to track the evolution of cell phone technology. I'm probably wrong about this, but X-files feels like the first show that really heavily leaned on the use of cell phones. It’s definitely a huge part of the iconography of the show. People even have tattoos of their phones. Shows may have had them show up but X-Files feels like the first where it was a major factor in the show.

Just watched The Night Stalker, the TV movie that served as the pilot for Kolchak, and you can definitely see the influence on The X-Files. It’s even paced pretty much the same. It’s great and on YouTube in full. Well worth watching
