RETURN of the X-files tonight Video at link http://www.fox.com/the-x-files?cmpid=ppc_goog_FOX_xfiles_ss_2015
My favorites, the episode called Triangle and Humbug.
There need to be two divisions for best episode. One serious, one not so much. I nominate the vampire episode for best non-serious.
“The internets!”
I’ve several. We would plan our week around the X-Files. When it was at last moved from Fri to Sun nights, it was much less of a challenge for us.
Favorite here was Darren McGavin in
“Agua Mala” The big hurricane hitting Florida was still in the news Really creepy! His show The Night Stalker was too short lived! Miss his show and certainly miss him.
Interesting!
My favorite character.
Just for fun...
I’ll be looking forward to this. Used to watch the old show but mostly on basic cable reruns or on hulu. I believe they did a movie I never saw. Probably was out in 07 or 08.
Here’s the link to the vulture list:
http://www.vulture.com/2016/01/every-episode-of-the-x-files-ranked.html
It’s all on one long page which is good for scrolling/searching for notable keywords in the author’s commentary.
Believe it was actually 2 movies and both were seen. :-))
In one the agents were far north, and in the end amid the snow drifts after fleeing for safety, a space craft rises from under the snow and takes off leaving the two with the heavy equipment snow plow used for the escape. It’s been so many years ago -not certain when actually seen..but it is always remembered :-))
AOL actually still offers dialup, to 6 million customers worldwide. I found a pile of their CD mailers (and a couple of floppy versions) in a box of stuff a few years back.
There are portions of that pic which resemble ‘The Giant Claw’ One of the worst Si-Fi flicks ever made :-))
Right now DH is watching Phantom from Outer Space - a remake of the Invisible Man in the 1950 SiFi epidemic of cheap but entertaining movies.
This new Roku gadget is marvelous. So many flicks to see, and so little time! Technology is such as gas :-))
I belong to a local inforsec club and I find it surprising that Ancient Aliens and the X-files are two of these very nerdy groups favorite shows.
THE best: "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' ".
Fantastic dialogue:
Blaine: [about Scully and Mulder] One of them was disguised as a woman, but wasn't pulling it off. Like, her hair was red, but it was a little too red, y'know? And the other one, the tall, lanky one, his face was so blank and expressionless. He didn't even seem human. I think he was a mandroid.
Jose Chung: Aren't you nervous telling me all this? After receiving all those death threats?
Blaine: Well, hey, I didn't spend all those years playing Dungeons and Dragons and not learn a little something about courage.
Jose Chung: Seeking the truth about aliens means a perfunctory 9 to 5 job to some - for although Agent Diana Leski [Scully reading the final book "From Outer Space"] . . . is noble of spirit and pure of heart - she remains nevertheless - a Federal employee. As for her partner - Ranerdt Muldradt - a ticking time bomb of insanity - his quest into the unknown has so warped his psyche - one shudders to think how he receives any pleasures from life.
Thanks for the link. Find myself agreeing with the article in most cases. X-Files wasn’t the cup of tea for all America but those of us who grew in a ‘certain age of enlightenment’ were drawn to it for a number of reasons. TRUST NO ONE was more than a motto for many of us who were well acquainted with the VN war -if only thru the stories of family and friends who might have actually been there.
And I liked that continuity was maintained, and Scully's "inherited" dog was eaten in a future epi, by "Nessie/Ogopogo".
