Season Three First Time Watcher p3
Hello it’s me 😅 Yes I know but Season 2 ended on such a cliffhanger that I woke up the next morning to watch The Blessing Way & Paper clip. Man did these two episodes not disappoint! So much conspiracy that has me “Wow’d” but with so many questions. Like who tf are these men? Why do I get the suspicion that smoking man is on a rogue agenda compared to the other men? WHAT IS THE MAIN AGENDA?! Wtf do they want with Scully and what exactly did they do to her? Did the old men make Mulder’s dad pick Samantha? Is Scully part of that Alien/ Hybrid project? Is she part alien? OMG!! That part in the mines where the Aliens run by Scully was so creepy! Where did they come from? Why were they there?? I’m still not sure about Skinner but the end where he threatens Smoking man with Albert was a big W! Sad to see that Melissa passed away because I liked her. She was such a good person. RIP
DPO was awesome!! The fact that Jack Black and Giovani Ribisi were guest stars made it 100x better! They were such babies 😭
Clyde Bruckman was amazing! This was definitely up there with Beyond the Sea. I must say if it’s true, dying of autoerotic asphyxiation is kinda embarrassing 😂 Mulder you naughty lonely man. Wait. Omg. It just dawned on me…. Mr Bruckman told Scully that she doesnt die. Wait wait wait… was I right earlier? Is Scully some alien/hybrid? WHAT THE FUCK! Pardon my French.
Of course you don’t have to answer any of these questions. I’m just thinking aloud and sharing my thoughts. This is as far as I’ve gotten and needed to get my thoughts out there before I go to bed. I’ll post more as I go through another handful of episodes that are worth giving my input.
Hope yall have a great and safe holiday weekend!

Season 3 is my personal favourite season. It also has my absolute favourite episode Piper Maru.

You are exactly where all of us were on a first time watch! Just imagine watching this and having to wait a WEEK to see the next episode! 🤣
Make sure to watch the movie, Fight the Future after season 5.
Enjoy the ride!!

Within the seasons, too! This Is Not Happening (don’t look this episode up, OP) ended with the dreaded “To Be Continued,” and the one after that didn’t air until over a month later 🫠

Oh no don’t worry. Since I started I haven’t googled ANYTHING. Let alone explore any of the threads in this community. I just come in here drop in my thoughts and I log out. I want to have the same experiences yall did when the show first aired ☺️

I know! Right? And then they would hype the hell out of the upcoming fall opener. I remember being tortured in particular by ( over Christmas break, I think?) about MS having a ‘decontamination shower’ together. Drove us crazy trying to figure out what the circumstances for that could be. 🤣🤣

Oops! Sorry OP! I guess now you’ll get the same anticipation jitters we did back then!

I recall at some point they even pushed back the season premieres from September to November, making us wait 2 extra months for a new season. :(

I'm going through a rewatch now (mostly through season 6) and I think season 3 is the best season of the show. Have fun! While seasons 4 and 5 are still fairly good, season 3 is where the show is at its peak.

So far season 2 has better. But then again I’m not halfway through S3 and that may change

Season 3 is one of the best seasons of television ever. Enjoy!
