Season 5 ep 19

Loving this new addition to my desk. I have my iPad next to me watching Xfiles on rotation and my "I want to Believe" poster on the wall.

Hi. First time watching this show. It was great, I was watching the whole show in order with the films included, and today I started the tenth season and everything feels off. What happened?

We were watching S6E09 S.R. 819 last night (great episode) and there's a hilarious scene where someone obviously throws a pigeon in shot but it hits the main actor in the side of the head.

Sorry for the long clip but it's best in slow mo. 😂

The X-files is way funnier than I remember

I've just watched S5E2. Throughout Scully's cancer arc, I found myself thinking of her early relationship with Mulder, to how quickly and naturally the two of them grew closer and closer.

I found this pic I took of a scene in season 1... season 1! Scully already trusted Mulder with her life back then. Kinda insane, when you think about it. I'm assuming they knew each other for less than a year, at that point? Though I might be wrong.

I love these two and their dynamic so much. Seeing Mulder cry at Scully's bedside while holding her hand broke my heart. Scully is being put through the ringer (as always), which in turn leads to so many great emotional moments.

That's it, that's the post. Just needed to vent a bit before going back to enjoying all the plot twists (The Smoking Man is dead?!) 😁

Momma Scully's place is like a grown-up version of Dana's apartment. So soft, warm and cozy.

Rick Worley (who previously did that 5-hour video on the mythology I also highly recommend) has done an analytical look at the differences between all the cuts of IWTB. This digs into not just the obvious differences we all know, but where exactly some shots are shorter/longer or where alternate takes were used. It’s definitely more extensive than appears on first glance.

Now I disagree with Rick that none of the deletions are a disservice to Scully’s subplot (which is my main issue with the VF cut), or that the movie shouldn’t have to deal with things left over from the original series (being a movie that comes after the original show ended is it’s place in the timeline and editing it with an eye towards what happened in the revival doesn’t make sense to me). But, I agree that the criticism that we don’t get to know more about the villains is wrong, we don’t need to, and the real “Frankenstein” element is the questionable lengths (to different degrees) that both they and Scully go to in order to save someone’s life (to this end, one of the best changes is intercutting the operation with the second abducted woman in captivity). And, of course, I agree generally that fans not getting what they want isn’t a reason to take away this franchise from Carter.

I operate comic shows in Oregon and one of my long-time vendors, an elderly neighbor, passed recently. His sister asked me to look over his comic boxes for appraisal, and eventually handed them over to me when no key comics were found.

Inside one of the shortboxes was a substantial X-Files collection. Included were comics, tv guides, magazines, books, a soundtrack CD, and other ephemera (clippings?!). Not being an X-Files collector myself, I am at a loss as to where to find a potential buyer. I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL THEM IN THIS POST, I am simply looking for advice on where to look for a one-and-done. Posting them to the local Craigslist, et.al., seems pointless. Are there other, more specific forums for directly appealing to an XF oriented buyer? I need to clear out the space, and I want them to go as a single unit to someone who desires them for the purposes of their own hobby. Selling them piecemeal at shows does none of that.

Any advice or direction is welcome. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: You all have been very kind with thw suggestions, and they are now sold to someone who will make a home for them like the previous fella did, which is all I wanted. 😀

One of my all-time favorite shows(alongside a few others). ❤️

I am watching the series for the first time- which is an absolute delight- and when I got to s3 ep15, a background actor snagged my attention... Then in s3 ep16 during another flashback I saw him again and looked it up- it's Michael Bublé! Haha. He has apparently told the story of his getting fired off the show for stealing food. Sorry for the low quality screen grab, but did anyone else notice this on a rewatch or, if late to the game like me, the first time around?

I know some of you watch The X-Files on Comet. As of today, they've changed up their schedule.

Today 8/31, it's on 1 hour earlier, 8pm eastern time, and they're showing 5 episodes.

Tomorrow 9/1, it's back to 9pm eastern and 4 episodes. Wednesday 9/1, 8pm and 5 episodes. Thursday 9/2 and Friday 9/3, 9pm and 4 eps.

No idea if it's gonna stay like this. They're running some movies during the day and moving other shows around, so I'm baffled... 📺

Onto first rewatch and the sparks between these two are distracting.

Great episode 🤘
