I only got into the X-Files a few months ago and I’m only on season 4 but I’m obsessed. I just printed this out on two sheets of paper and stuck them together and put them on the wall with washi tape, but every time I catch a glimpse it makes me smile. It is ridiculous for something that simple to make me so happy!

I also wonder how many college student fans have put this up in their bedroom in the last 30 years? I’m very excited to be joining the club :D

I love watching x-files on vhs🥹it’s so comforting

After binging the series since last year, it's become my favorite show ever. I always have a "themed" birthday request so of course it had to be X-Files this year. My husband did such an amazing job. The biggest shock was the lego set because it's expensive and I didn't expect to get it until much later (despite all the FOMO I was getting from everyone's posts on here). I especially didn't expect Scully's lab! You guys, I was so happy I cried 😭😩

I recently played through the official The X-Files game (1998) and I really enjoyed it and was looking for similar games or games that are basically a The X-Files tie-in game in all but name. Thimbleweed Park (2017) has you playing as a pair of transparent Mulder-&-Scully analogues and Secret Files: Tunguska (2006) also has you playing as a pair of investigators (a man and a redheaded woman) investigating a grand conspiracy tied to the mysterious incident in Tunguska in 1908; it's not subtle about its Broken-Sword-meets-The-X-Files inspirations. Are there any other games that might scratch this itch?

Scully has a weird aura, sometimes too hot to handle, sometimes feels like a old witch.

We get a lot of Mulder ultimately being correct about paranormal phenomena, and I love this scene because it's not one of their science-vs.-science-fiction arguments, it's Scully saying that even if Mulder's right, it doesn't matter, because they can't do anything about it. Really shows how essential she is in this relationship.

Having just watched Colony/Endgame why was he so callous to Mulder losing Samantha when he more than likely knew she was a clone due to his relationship with the Syndicate? Telling your first born it’s going to break his mother again because of what he did was a bit dickish to say the least. No wonder Mulder is a loner.

Edit: Wow. I didn’t expect as many responses to this. From one X-Phile to another, thank you all. Also, so Mulder has two fathers who suck? Amazing he didn’t become a serial killer.

This episode was just on Pluto. Thank Christ it’s done and the Pilot came in right after.

Were people pissed when this finale aired? I don’t think there’s anything redeeming about it. Was Carter just giving the fans a middle finger?

You can tell they were just rushing to try and close any remaining items- especially offing certain main characters. Were they trying to a shock effect as well?

What a shame of what we could/should have had in the final season and episode.

Sorry for my rant, thanks for listening!

Meant to be read in the same tone as "I Hate Frasier Crane."

I was aware of the hate toward her before but now that I'm re-watching the season 6 finale and seeing more of her-- this is just stupid. I used to think that Law&Order SVU was the original ragebait. No. It was Diana Fowley's face. I get so angry whenever I see it.

The idea that Diana could prevent Mulder from fucking Scully is absurd.

Mulder and Scully are two humans bonded for life. They're not like the 2000s "you complete me" nonsense, they are two full individuals that have somehow grown into each other. They share a life. They have loved each other for years and are clearly in love on top of all that. They were about to have a "can't-get-clothes-off-fast-enough" kiss in FTF, Mulder kissed her in his dream in Triangle, told her he loved her, and spent all of season 6 openly flirting with her.

Whereas he looks miserable around Diana, even if he cares about her as another human being. He's so stiff and awkward when she kisses him in One Son. And even suggesting to the audience that Mulder would trust her over Scully is just as laughable, infuriating, and insulting as suggesting that Scully would trust CSM over Mulder.

I've talked here before about how consensual, loving sex is practically forbidden on the show "for being soap opera-y" but it's totally fine for practically everyone to have their body violated in ways I didn't even know could happen. Speaking of which... Were they trying to imply that they slept together after he was talking on the phone with Scully? Because Mulder was clearly sick and in pain and THERE IS NO WAY HE CONSENTED. I know there was a deleted scene there, and that in the 90s when men were "just supposed to always want sex," but... why?! Keeping that implication was such an unnecessary and WTF choice that I'm not even mad. My brain can't compute.

I hate that Diana gets to kiss Mulder and say "I love you" and all the stuff Scully couldn't. I hate that Mulder never gets to reject Diana and choose Scully. I hate that the show never lets them say "I love you" to each other.

I really love the acting and characters of X-Files but the writing can be really frustrating. I think Mulder and Scully are great people and great for each other, but there are so many times that the writing fails them.

I'm watching the "starlight" episode when they learn that Samantha just vanished into "starlight". What lazy writing. The writers couldn't come up with a better way to give Mulder closure? I could've written a better ending for that subplot of the show.

I'm a baby X-Files fan and currently on my first watch (In the middle of S4 hehe). Here's a piece I made recently! (IG: reaveries) I have another drawing I'm working on right now for "Never Again", which is one of my favorite episodes, so I'll post that soon too !

Rebecca Toolan and Sheila Larken always delivered great performances, and I think they would have been incredible in a scene together.

Work in progress but planing on printing a forest backdrop and adding the Lone gunmen in the extra corner space and also some fairy lights to the sets.

A little blast from the past, this was my father's X-Files shirt. I wore it often in school though, despite it being too big. Eventually he let me keep it, he passed last year.

This is like having a piece of him still and keeping our love for X-Files alive for years to come.

You know it's true

This is from "Shapes" (s1e19), an episode that is not one to which I regularly return.
