Xfiles - Season 1

edited June 2010 in Social Entropy++
I never watched the X Files before but have always wanted to and now with the wonders of Netflix I have started watching season 1. I'm about 15 episodes into season 1 and definitely see what all the hype was about, I'm really liking this show. Yes it's a older show but I'm really enjoying it none the less.

How many old X Filers do we have here on PA, so you have any certain episodes that you really loved or just want to chat X Files.

    The X-Files is alright

    Would have been a lot neater overall if they just stuck with the monster-of-the-week episodes

    Mulder and Scully are great enough characters on their own that they could have carried the format, much like Hugh Laurie tends to do for House even though every episode is pretty much the same

    I've only seen a few episodes, though I mean to watch more

    I always liked the monster-of-the-week stories over the big series-long plot arc

    X-Files is the best.

    The conspiracy episodes were excellent up until about season 5 when it really lost the plot, but the production values were so good by that point it didn't really matter.

    Season 9 was hideous though.

    I would pay an obscene amount of money for a book that explained all the shit that happens.

    I hate unanswered questions!

    Otherwise, I love the X Files. I'm working my way through it on netflix.

    The best times of this series were during the one shot monster-of-the week episodes. Don't have no care about the overreaching plot. It's kind of boring, to be honest.

    She looked kind of weird in the first episode. She actually got steadily hotter as the series went on.

    I loved the X-files, it was "that" show I wasn't supposed to watch, but did anyway.

    I had a really sheltered friend in school and she said she wouldn't watch it even if she was allowed, and I used to describe episodes to her, and it would freak her out and ruin her whole day and she'd lose sleep and shit.

    The best one was the episode where for some reason people were getting the word "Sister" scratched onto their back by a paranormal force.

    She was fucked up for weeks about that one.

    Good times.

    I should try to rewatch the earlier eps, because I can barely watch the later seasons without feeling like it's just really lame. I grew up loving the shit out of the show, though. Just don't know if it ages well.

    Guess I'll have to check out s1.

    Wasn't there an episode about bugs, and it was one of those awesome ones where it's kinda funny but also kinda serious at the same time.


    And there's a part where they make it look as if a cockroach is crawling across your TV screen.

    I have been watching the x-files on netflix, got a bit a sidetracked by 24 though! Up to season four so far and the episode called "Home" is probably the freakiest D :

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    I also liked the standalone episodes better, especially some of the comedy ones like the cockroach one and the vampire one with Luke Wilson. The standalone horror episodes also tended to be scarier/creepier than anything a story arc episode could throw at you.

    The story arc episodes also ran into the problem that it eventually becomes painfully obvious they are making it up as they go along and are introducing mysteries that they don't have the answers for.

    Lastly, Agent Doggett was fine and could have done well if he was given more, but Agent Reyes was absolutely terrible.

    I barely ever watched the X-Files, but I do remember that episode. The... I don't remember what he was exactly, sheriff or some kind of agent, walks into the house and immediately gets his head blown off by a shotgun trap. I still remember having a "Holy shit!" moment. I just got done watching The Simpsons, now some guy is getting his William S. Burroughs on.

    Also, the mother. Good lord, the mother.

    Bad Blood was the best.

    I think the episode that creeped me out the most was Darkness Falls. Little green bugs that attack in the dark and suck the life out of you, and being stranded in a remote place. Gave me the willies.

    Man now I am really in the mood to watch every episode of the X-files.

    If they could do it without fucking it up royally (unlikely judging by the recent movie) I would love them to bring it back.

    Like, a reboot.

    But with the same actors.

    ...... Maybe I'll just re-watch them.

    X-Files is still one of my favorite shows. I own all nine seasons on DVD, but when they came on NetFlix I started watching them all over again.

    Gillian Anderson has been, and continues to be, my #1 celebrity crush.

    Wow smile, wow voice, wow red hair, she has that tiny under bite sometimes when she talks, and have you heard her laugh?

    Infectious is an inadequate description.

    I didn't like the monster of the week episodes. I preferred the overall storyline myself.

    My favorite episodes were the ones that had Jose Chung or whatever his name was.
    Especially the one with the triangular UFO's and Alex Trebec.
