X-Files (FOX) TV Show • Page 5

This is kind of cool....

 

Just finished the season 5 finale. That’s the closest I’ve ever cried from a tv show.

 

Chris Carter claims Ryan Coogler is working on an X-Files reboot

Millennium next please

 

Hope he uses it more as a general structure for a show rather than trying to directly reboot plotpoints from the original series

 

You can't recreate Mulder and Scully as portrayed in the OG, but the show absolutely requires two leads with that much chemistry. That's where it'll fail or succeed.

 

I can't imagine someone with a vision like Coogler just doing a simple remake, I'd hope he does his own thing with it

would love some more stuff like the wordless episode in s11

 

I will check it out, but personally I think a reboot-quel maybe isn't the way to go, but that's just me. Personally I think they should make a bunch of spinoff series based on some of the best/most popular Monster Of The Week episodes instead of retreading the UFO mythos again.

Give me a series just about the Eve 6 plot.

 

The one where he puts his heart in a blender?

 

Bump because I have been making progress in my very very slow rewatch.

2x9 Firewalker where Bradley Whitford plays an egotistical scientist who loses his mind after he unwittingly releases an ancient dormant parasitic fungus from a volcano was sick. It was another kind of rehash of The Thing like 1x8 Ice, but I like that it reminded me of TLOU. It had some real gnarly practical effects.

 

I enjoy that episode despite it being Ice again.

 

2x10 Red Museum (the one where the government is secretly injecting cows in rural Wisconsin with alien DNA) is also very good.

2x7 3 ( the one where Mulder confronts a vampire fetish cult in LA) was bad despite having some cool shots and imagery.

2x11 Excelsis Dei (the one where elderly nursing home patents are dosed asain shamanistic shrooms that allow them to communicate with angry spirits leading to the SA of a nurse by ghosts) was bad and pretty offensive

2x12 Aubrey (the one where the grandchild of a 1940's serial killer is possessed by genetic memory to commit the same crimes 50 years later) was also pretty dumb.

Lotta misses with monster of the weeks this season

 

2x13 Irresistible. One of the best episodes of this season and one of the scariest, which is wild because this is just a straight up serial killer story and not really paranormal at all.

 

s2 is the clear apex of this show imo, the only season where the mytharc and MOTW are both good and on an equal level of quality. they start losing the balance as early as 3 even though I still enjoy watching the show up until s7
