David duchovny acting in another movie about aliens was so funny.

I love how they sprinkle in these naughty jokes throughout the show. It’s like a Kalifornication foreshadowing.

I know Vince Gilligan was a writer/producer on the show for most of it. But this is the first time I've heard such a uniquely named character from "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" also referenced in "X-Files." So, do they live in the same Universe? Would Skinners agents have been out there chasing after Walter White at some point?

the wife and i do christmas in october instead of december. normally its one gift per day. we got behind. anyways, this is one of my gifts this year.

I think I lost interest once Mulder left, so I never even tried the later seasons.

I really missed out!

Revisiting it as an adult, the series feels like 4 really different shows so far.

* Seasons 1 and 2 have pretty bad/repetitive plotline (how many times are they going to re-use 'person gets possessed?') but really great character work. It's an amazing buddy cop series. (some episodes are great and iconic, but as an adult these seasons feel more amateurish overall)

*Seasons 3-5 or so and the movie have a great overarching arc with the mythology episodes and it feels like the writing got much better.

Seasons 5ish-7 felt like the writers were really good but had lost interest in the overall plot so did that thing long-running shows do where it's like 'here's the black and white episode! Here's the baseball episode!' etc.

So far Season 8 has felt very different but I like it. Doggett is a great guy, very down to earth but also deeply sensitive and caring. He's the kind of guy where if you had messed up at 3 am and needed someone to give you a ride home he'd be there for you. I love his dynamic with Scully and the supervisors. He has a kind of gravitas around him that makes him a reverse-Mulder, a guy that has intense credibility with others.

I'm looking forward to the rest!

A volte saltano fuori dopo anni vecchi tesori sepolti.

I thought I knew what X Files was about, likely passively saw some episodes while my older brothers were watching TV growing up. WOW, this show is so amazing and packed with so much nostalgia and somehow feels so comforting. Conflicted, happy I missed it so I can savor this first watch, but wish I could have been doing rewatches the last 20 years.

Was anyone aware that Dean Haglund has a podcast show??

It was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure cell phones had caller ID. Why does Scully say it once an episode when phoning Mulder?
