Who knew?
There are probably aliens populating this message board too.
Hmm...I wonder where @IGUANNA went?
Please don't unleash the forces of hell...
@Fire_and_Ice_Returns Two mythology episodes only sounds just about right for 10 episodes. It really feels like that stuff is bogging things down at this point, it's become so convoluted over the years and only seems to be hanging around because dropping it would retroactively make the whole show seem ridiculous.
I was disappointed with S10, but I'm a huge fan of the show, and will ultimately take whatever they're willing to give. ;) If they took a cue from Twin Peaks: The Return, however, and focused not on giving us the nostalgic nonsense we think we want, but rather on reinventing the show for a new time, I think it'd go over a lot more smoothly.
I found the previous six episodes very mixed, the first one had Mulder go from one extreme to another which I felt jarring, agree some good original material would be good I thought the same they should look at Twin Peaks The return as an example of moving forward rather than treading old ground too much.
Happy 49th Birthday, Gillian!

I noticed that on my disc(I have the whole boxset) at least one scene was cut that was aired on tv back then.
It was my house.
I've never seen a single episode from the series, I just knew there were a good bit of fans on the forums that'd enjoy a new trailer.
I may get around to it one day, I don't know. There are easily dozens of shows I know I'd like to try eventually, but not enough time.
Won't blame you if you never get around to it. At 200+ episodes X Files is a big commitment.
Is it consistently worth it; would you recommend it? I'll likely give it a go one day, provided it's not one of those shows that starts strong and falters a couple of seasons in.
On the strength of those seasons alone I'd recommend it. I also think if you did watch five seasons' worth, you would want to finish the rest (and at that point I'd also recommend doing so).
I wouldn't argue with anyone who claimed it was the best show of the 90s. When it was firing on all cylinders, it was a masterful example of horror, sci-fi, and political thriller, many times all rolled into one.
If you do decide to try it out, I'd caution that in later seasons it becomes increasingly apparent that the writers had no game plan for the longterm. The mythology therefore develops such that it may prove confusing and/or unsatisfactory. This isn't as bad as it sounds, since the show was not strictly serial. There were two types of episodes, mythology and 'monster of the week' (of which there are more on the whole). These 'monster of the week' tales are, as a result, personally more of interest to me, but again, for those early seasons, both types of episodes were really great. And the heart of the show — Mulder and Scully — never falters.
As a litmus test, you could consider skipping around through a few 'monster of the week' episodes to get a feel for the show. As these episodes feature no ongoing storylines, you ought to be able to just jump in anywhere. I'm sure the fans here would be more than happy to provide recommendations in that regard.
Oh look, I seem to be leaking them already:
"Home" (S04E2 - probably the show's most infamous episode)
"Squeeze" (S01E03)
"Die Hand Die Verletzt" (S02E14)
"War of the Coprophages" (S03E12)
One from each of the first four seasons.
Or watch the pilot and simply get going. ;)
Man, I've gone and made myself want to rewatch. October's the perfect time for it.
This really is a personal TV favourite of mine, trailers looks interesting, and I really am looking forward to seeing this new season!
So love this show, can't wait to see where we end up next? Bring it on!
Never , in my youth, would have I thought I could get to say that.
