the x-files

[blixa]

i used to watch this when i was in primary school and once i got into trouble and my dad said that he wasn't going to let me watch the x-files so i sat in my room and cried. i had a david duchovny tv hits calender. oh, the 90's!

i've been rewatching them whilst trying to finish up my last year in uni. i'm up to season 5. i'm semi-obsessed. i had forgotten what an amazing show it is. i also never noticed how sexy skinner was. this is why a revisit is always a good idea.

any fans?

[bright lights, big city]

Fuck yeah I'm a fan. Had some great childhood memories watching this with my cousin at our grandfather's apartment, and getting scared shitless. The episodes that actually advance the overall alien storyline are obviously great, but personal favorites include the Flukeman

and the cocoon one in the woods of the Pacific Northwest

I rediscovered it just like you when I lived with a couple friends in an apartment at college. The Sci-Fi Channel would air random marathons of it in the middle of the night. Ahh the good old days, staying up all night watching X-files, smoking, eating pistachio pudding. haha.

[bright lights, big city]

Hell, even the last couple seasons with Robert Patrick were still really entertaining.

[blixa]

hahaha great times, hey? i mainly sit up until really late watching. you know what i love? mulder's comebacks. so funny. and how he will say really inappropriate things at the wrong time.

AND THE SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN MULDER AND SCULLY! HOT!!!

i'm not up to those episodes where doggett replaces mulder. i will be soon. i didn't start rewatching until last year. my mate lent me all the dvds. an amazing show.

one question: do you believe in aliens?

[lostpilot]

yes, I was always a fan.

And yes, one of the most memorable episodes are - a) the cocoon one; b) the mountain station one (where Mulder is stuck in this transmission station and teh ufo guys pay him a visit.

I had most of the series in my laptop, then it got deleted, and now I WISH I had  them.

was that the one with the guys with their eyes sewn shut? i remember something like that on some mountain with Alex Krychek (that guy was awesome)

one question: do you believe in aliens?

fuck yeah i do.


another great one i remembered... the vampires with sheriff Luke Wilson

I don't remember really. I just remember this part where it's a mountainous (not snowy) place, a small station whatever, Mulder blocks the door with a cupboard or something and the ALIANZ still come in.

And yes, I do kinda believe in aliens. Well, point is - I will never say that "believing in extra-terrestrial life is nonsense", but the universe still did not provide me much proof.

By the way, kids, did you hear about the chinese village that disappeared overnight?

Weird shit, dude. Just looked it up after you mentioned it.

[lostpilot]

Yeah. well, the video provided is fake - I found that out (it's a 4 month old video from Beijing - youtube something like "UFO landing in Beijing" and it appears right there), but the fact that a village just disappeared - military is active there, and there is a nuclear thing there.. kinda scary.

[bright lights, big city]

wtf?!? so was it nuclear and a subsequent cover-up or what?

I have no idea. you have to read some articles etc to get your own opinion, cause mine is kinda fucked

[bright lights, big city]

when i googled the subject, the top hit was for naturalplane.blogspot and it's actually a pretty interesting site. you can never know how much information is legitimate, but i've been reading random articles on it for about an hour now, lol.

with the china subject, though, i'm smelling a hoax. also the video is from a completely unrelated event from 2009.

[blixa]

looks like mulder needs to get on the case!

i finished watching the doll episode in season five. it freaked me out. i fucking hate dolls. they're creepy as all hell. i'm dreading season seven because no mulder :/ i was also thinking what a good influence scully is as a female character. she's really great. i've never related so much to a female character. maybe not as smart though hahaha.

i believe in aliens too. i don't think they look like what everyone thinks they look like.

I have no idea. you have to read some articles etc to get your own opinion, cause mine is kinda fucked

you're in good company because i think the three of us al have fucked up opinions.

have you tried watching V? it's 2nd season starts in january, and it's not necessarily like the x-files, but it does have aliens. an interesting idea that if lizard-like aliens have lived amongst us for hundreds of years.

and i'm sure Darius probably agrees that a truer "successor" to the x-files is the awesome show Fringe.

[your sister gets me hard]

My roommates and I rewatched the entire series in college.  We weren't to big on going to class.

V is.. OKAY. not TOO good, but it's watchable.
and yes.
FRINGE IS FUCKING AWESOME.
especially the newest season. if the show was REALLY good before, now it's just flawless..

i really dislike v. it was never interesting to me.

fringe was being shown for a bit on channel nine but i think they took it off. i remember watching the first episode. anna torv is aussie. that's all i know of it. i ought to check it out soon though although i think i need to start watching the wire dvd's my sister bought for me after i finish with the x-files.

[bright lights, big city]

holy shit enjoy! definitely not sci-fi haha, but still, the wire is my favorite show of ALL TIME.

i love idris elba. he's in this british crime show called luther. brilliant actor.

i've had the dvd's for a while. haven't started watching yet. i've seen a bit of season three though but i was lost as to who was who and what was essentially happening.
