MissL November 15, 2015 Share November 15, 2015 Thank you! The X-files abridged just made me laugh so hard my stomach hurts! Needed that. Watched them all. "Do i get kidnapped AGAIN?!" "Don't worry I save you." Link to comment

DaynaPhile December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 GA just did an Ask Me on Twitter, or whatever they call it. Someone asked what were in the gifts M&S bought each other in HTGSC. I did a screen cap but I don't know how to upload a pic from my iPad. Link to comment
Bastet December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 Did she give the same answer she always does? I'll confess that at the time the episode first aired, my friend and I took one look at the shape and said, "vibrator," too. Link to comment
DaynaPhile December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 She said Scully got a dildo and Mulder got octopus porn. I've never heard those answers before so the humor was fresh for me. 1 Link to comment
M.F. Luder December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 In case any of you are interested, Musings of an X-Phile is back up! Salome mysteriously stopped posting her excellent episode reviews back in 2012 and those of us who were fans of her site missed her tremendously. She recently started up her reviews again and is super excited for the revival. I've spent a lot of time reading her episode commentary, and oftentimes it gives me a whole other level of appreciation for this show. I highly recommend checking it out. 1 Link to comment
AntiBeeSpray December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 Not sure if this would fit here entirely... I just came across a book series by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg called The Fox and O'Hare novels and holy cow... the characters look just like Mulder and Scully. I kid you guys not O_o. And the Mulder clone is six foot tall and has brown eyes and wears nice suits. His name is Nicolas Fox and the Scully clone is named Kate O'Hare. Here's the cover: Link to comment

AntiBeeSpray January 20, 2016 Share January 20, 2016 A new article... http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/entertainment/x-files-david-duchovny-talks-success-and-the-return-of-mulder-and-scully The relationship between Mulder and Scully was also an early prototype in the phenomenon now known as "shipping", whereby fans imagine or encourage a romantic relationship between two characters or celebrities. Duchovny hints that the new series may give many viewers what they want in this regard, even though it will begin by disclosing that they did get together at one point but broke up. He says: "It seems important to certain fans that Mulder and Scully be together romantically, but stasis and a good relationship are not exciting dramatically because you want your show to move. "So I think the fans would be more pleased knowing that if you start broken up, you're probably trending towards getting back together rather than the other way round." Seriously? So resorting to an old trope AGAIN... is a smart thing? /facepalm Link to comment

DaynaPhile January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Ignoring most of the thread because I'm mostly staying away from spoilers, or anything that would give away too much of what we are about to see in TWO DAYS!! But I saw that Gillian was initially offered half the salary that David was for the revival. The hell? In this day and age of the outcry over equal pay and TPTB go an pull a crap stunt like that? So glad she held out for equal. They should have paid her double because heaven knows I'd watch without Mulder, but I won't without Scully. She makes him look good. I'm so excited I'm bouncing in my seat. And I may not even be able to watch until Tuesday. 2 Link to comment

Eyes High January 25, 2016 Share January 25, 2016 The reviewers at Hitfix and Slate, despite expressing their misgivings with the first episode, state that the third episode (written by Darin Morgan) is worth sticking around for. Can't wait. Darin Morgan was my favourite of the X-Files writers, and his episodes were always my favourite, with the perfect blend of eccentricity, humour, and melancholy. His Millennium episodes were also brilliant, including the funniest Scientology parody in media I've ever seen ("In 1979, Onan Goopta molted his earthly encumbrance to pursue his Selfisophical research in another dimension. That means, he died of prostate cancer.") This is going to be awesome. Link to comment

Boy howdy. The studio knew what it was doing, giving us the third episode right after the first episode at Friday night's screening in L.A. -- quite the palate cleanser. Definitely stick around!

Tardislass January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 I have to admit, I am surprised (and very very pleased) about the high ratings. Me too. I admit after the dismal second movie, I didn't think there was much of a market but I was wrong. I think the ratings may bottom out at 9.0 million but that's more than I expected. As noted in other post, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox is trying to lure DD & GA back for another mini-series. 1 Link to comment
janestclair January 27, 2016 Share January 27, 2016 I wonder what the ratings will look like when they add in the DVR and streaming numbers. Even without that, those seem like excellent numbers. Hooray for nostalgia. I wouldn't mind 6 new episodes every year or even every couple years. Here's hoping. 1 Link to comment
Frozendiva January 27, 2016 Share January 27, 2016 The paranormal never goes out style as long as there are good stories. Morgan, Morgan, and Wong, and of course Vince Gilligan set the bar for a lot of today's shows. CC, although vilified and rightfully so, sometimes for the mytharc mess, was still a trailblazer for the mess that became other shows. 1 Link to comment

Oddly, Donal Logue was one I was always aware of. Him and Tony Shalhoub. The names are there - look on the right side of the image, in the white column, below the title. There is a small paragraph for each one. It's hard to first see, because it's mixed in with some advertising, but each one is named. Most of the people in the list, I've seen before! (well, technically I have on original airing of the X-Files, but on rewatch I was like, OMG, that's <Actor/Actress>!) Link to comment
