The X-Files
Just re-watched the 1st episode of this again for the first time in nearly donkeys years.
Still holds up. I remember why I had such a crush on Scully. What do people think of this show? |

Great show. I never really got into it until the fairly late Mulder seasons, but once I did it was a must-watch every week. And later on I watched most of the early episodes when they replayed them.
Wow. Just did a quick wiki and I never realised how young Gillian Anderson was. She was only 24 in the first season. For some reason (how strong and independent the character was I guess) I always pictured her being early 30's at the beginning and pushing 40 by the end. |

I used to love it.
I've never rewatched any episode though, partially because I'm afraid I'll be disappointed now, and prefer to have the good memories. Like Lance I hated the last seasons, and stopped watching before they put it out of its misery. |

I love it, one of my favourite shows. I have the collector's edition box set of each season up until the seventh.
I watch it a lot, takes me ages to decide what episodes to watch though. |

I have the box sets, superb series. Have a spell when I watch a disc a night and go through the lot.

It only aired on FOX once. Rupert Murdoch personally issued word that it was never to be shown again. |

Great show..
I hadnt seen any of it till recently. Caught a few bits when on Tv in the 90s, but dont think I ever saw an episode. Got the entire series and watched it last year.. Well, not the whole series. Stopped after Season 7. Saw bits of S08, couldnt take it anymore. Saw that much in around 2-3 months. X-Files overload. Will probably finish it now. |

I keep reading Home was the most disturbing/scary episode.
It wasnt pleasant viewing, but I wasnt that scared. The first time I was scared watching the show was when I saw the flukeman for the first time. Late at night, lights off, headphones on.. |

I'll have to hook up my other DVD player so I can watch it again since my season 4 boxset is region 1
 I like the funny episodes a lot. Bad Blood, Small Potatoes, Humbug, Jose Chung's From Outer Space etc. |

I have the episodes with Giovanni Ribisi in my mind as good ones, as well as Tooms, they were great.
Cigarette smoking man might just be one of the best characters in a tv series ever. |

I remember secretly staying up to watch it a few times, when I was about 6 I'd imagine. There was one episode that traumatised me for a few weeks. It was about people's heads exploding when they were riding in the back of a car IIRC.

X-Files is excellent tv. This thread will have me search Directv and record it again. Been a long time and there's nothing but shit reality on any more. The smoking man epi's are awesome. |

I liked the episode where it appeared that a schoolkid was able to move things with his mind (think he flung a table at a teacher). Mulder eventually sussed him, though, and found that he could just move reeeeeeally fast.

I just saw the first episode very recently as well whilst channel surfing on the 10 channels I have. Lucky break to catch something this good. Loved it when I was younger. Missed a lot of episode though. Would want to watch it all from start to finish.

Amazing timing. I just started watching the 1st season last month and am up to episode 15. Been a long time since I have seen them.
What's cool is seeing how many people that were bit part actors that are now somewhat famous like Felicity Huffman. |
