Title: X-Philes?
Post by: NewStem on March 29, 2013, 04:33 am
I've been hooked on X Files for months now, currently making my way through season 6. Man, the movie sucked! But season 6 is probably as monolithically spectacular as season 3 was.

And I've got it bad for Scully, that fine, flawed woman.

Favourite episodes (if even possible to choose):

War of the Coprophages (S3E12)
-A New England town is ravaged by death, and cockroaches are at every scene. This episode is made by its hilarious self-awareness: a look at the supernatural in its most plausible form, borne of mass hysteria. Also, Scully gets a little sassy and I'm into that.

Blood (S2E3)
-A Pennsylvania town is ravaged by death, and broken electronics are at every scene. A psychological thriller of an episode, no necessity of the paranormal. Especially relevant to the American gun climate of today. Makes suggestions at the latent violence of a culture that demotes self assertion to taboo.

Humbug (S2E20)
-A Florida town is ravaged by death, and evidence of an amphibious "mermaid" is at every scene. The episode that pays clearest homage to its roots in the Twilight Zone, Mulder and Scully enter and exit a freak show town to observe a tragedy with zero impact as causal agents. Probably the weirdest episode yet, maaaybe at par only with Jose Chung's From Outer Space (S3E20).

And so many more, oh lord!

Anyways, yeah. Netflix. Everyone get on it.

edit note: I did not make that hilarious and impressive ASCII Scully (but I will be touching myself to it later)

Haha, yes! I've gotten so many people around me hooked. Unfortunately my brother is one of them, and I feel bad continuing forward without him in case it's a canonical/main myth episode. Even more unfortunate is that season 6 is pretty much entirely in the myth, so I won't be opening a file tonight.

"mulder, it's me" "scully, it's me" weird random shit. cigarette smoking man. more random weird shit. aliens. conspiracy theories. yes it was ridiculous but enjoyable. only sci fi i've ever managed to watch without getting incredibly bored or confused. the one with the guy who turns into some snakey weirdness and comes into scullys flat through a vent or some shit and has been alive centuries eating human organs, that's a good one! and the one with the devil babies, that shit freaked me out! gave up on it somewhere around season 5-6 but i'm pretty sure i saw the movie and it was shit. can't watch californication now though. and once more for good luck "MULDER, IT'S ME!"

Eugene Tooms, that liver-eating yellow-eyed stretchy fuck!

They're talking about making a third movie, and while the first was brought down so many notches to meet the lowest common denominator's standards of 'action movie' (it shouldn't have even been an action movie!) and the second was unanimously panned, I'm down for more Mulder and Scully. I'd love to hear "Scully, it's me" on the big screen.
