The X-Files

[jolsonhammond]

Anyone fond of this 'blast from the past'? I am a now a converted fan after being forced to 'give it a chance' by the missus - a long time obsessive.. That was last August - and this week we finally watched the last ever episode.

Sure, it's of it's time.. but this series truly redefined the science fiction genre.. Lost, 24, CSI.. they all came from The X-Files.

With the news of the second X-Files movie being made just wondering what the Albion fans opinion of this series was?

(For those who want to 'revisit' it, they are showing the entire series start to finish weekdays on Living at around 5pm - worth a watch!)

I used to like Alex Krycek

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I used to follow it avidly till season 6 then it all got silly.

:VeryNice:

What happened in the end?

Was Smoking Man Mulder's dad and Samantha Mulder was abducted by Skinner who was really an alien and.... bleh

*pointless X-Files trivia*

Did you know the actor Nicholas Lea was in the season one episode 'Gender Bender' as a different character - he was speaking Russian on the phone to someone and they realised he'd be perfect as Krycek..

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I remember when he got his arm cut off in Tunguska

all coming back to me now...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Well, a few years ago

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Didn't he used to play for Romania and Chelsea?

 

[jolsonhammond]

Tunguska is a great episode... the best episode is Beyond the Sea with Brad Dourif as Boggs.. WHAT an actor

And what happens in the end is a date is set, December 2012, and CSM has his face blown off by a missile. And he's the only character in the whole thing that doesn't 'turn face' at the end.

I LOVED the X Files. Thought the movie was a bit crap, and it went downhill somewhat from my perspective once David Duchovny left, but for the first few series, it was brilliant.



SCULLY: Oh my God, Mulder, it's smells like, I think it's bile.

MULDER: Is there any way I can get it off my fingers quickly without betraying my cool exterior?

Tooms was scary.. that's from Squeeze..

Know far too much about X-Files.

Ps. I've got that poster

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Was Eugene Tooms was the guy who came back to life every few years and could squeeze through very small gaps?

He lived in a cave somewhere with walls covered in bile, if I remember correctly?

 

[jolsonhammond]

Indeed you do. He used to extract the liver and then go into 'hibernation' at 66 Exeter Street..

Much as I feel that I may be leaving myself open to accusations of geekery by openly discussing the X Files on an internet messageboard, you can't beat THIS particular TV offering, which seamlessly combined two of my favourite programmes into one

Mulder: Look at this, Scully. There's been another unsubstantiated UFO sighting in the heartland of America. We've got to get there right away.

(He hands her a newspaper that reads "HUMAN BLIMP SEES FLYING SAUCER")

Scully: Well, gee, Mulder, there's also this shipment of drugs and illegal weapons coming ashore in New Jersey tonight.

Mulder: (indignant) I hardly think the FBI is concerned with matters like that!

Well, for those that like it you will be pleased to know they are making another film as we speak.

Frank Spotnitz is writing it, at least

Should be out around early 2008.. the good news is everyone is on-board.. none of this Doggett/Reyes shite.

on the long journey of watching it from the start on living tv,
half way through series 2 at the moment, sky planner getting full.

I got the first series boxset cheap to see what it was like and found it rather hit and miss. The strech guy episode was really good but alot i thought were poor, so haven't bothered getting the second series
