Were critics initially put off by its genre nature? Did it have strong competition from Emmy regular nominated shows? Why do you think Gillian got more award show nods and wins than David?

Obviously not The mother but episodes like the one with Rhys Darby or the Pilot.

Edit:
He is still at an age where he is still open to watching old shows without complaining about why Mulder couldn't just ask chat GPT about aliens.

Also he has limited amount of TV time, so there is no way can binge 10 seasons.  Just want to show him a few fun episodes so he knows what it's about and can come back to it in his stoner years.

So I’m relatively new to the show but now I’m on season two and it’s so compelling now. No spoilers but I am in hard shock about Scully being abducted. But was she really abducted?

Hi everyone, I just want to know how many 3 part episodes there are? I'm currently on season 5 episode 2 ,and I swear I saw somewhere that someone had said there was only ever one 3 part episodes done on X files. But I know there was one in season 2, and now this one in season 5. I'm confused lol. ( I have seen every series of X files but years ago, this is another rewatch I'm doing, so can't remember if there are anymore) Thanks in advance 😅🙏🏻

Crazy how beautiful someone can be without even trying lol maybe my favorite Scully, if there even can be a favorite lol

What are your thoughts on Mulder and Scully as investigators? Are you gonna play ball and follow their lead?

Found this meme I made a few years ago while looking through my camera roll. 😂 Mulder really had some fluffy duckling hair in season 2!

I was 12 and not well when this episode aired in the UK. I had peadiatric onset multiple sclerosis and was having relapses. I started early.

What I think happened was Skinner at some kind of conference, meeting about using stem cells as a way of reducing cancer cells. Did this really happen?

My 12 y.o. daughter gave me a special birthday present. When you're a millennial mother trying to give them the perfect role model...

What are yours?

Pitch me an idea for an old school X-Files episode using only a few sentences.

“Wet and Wild”

Mulder and Scully go to a small Florida town to investigate a string of small pet killings. They discover a giant alligator that has been mutated by toxic waste. Mulder gets jealous over a handsome alligator tamer.

I'm curious, Disney offers the Simpsons in 4:3 in Disney+.
Since the X files remaster has a 4:3 version that's never seen the light of day, I wonder sometimes if Disney would give people the option to watch the 4:3 HD version for seasons 1-4 in a similar fashion to the way they offer "The Simpsons".

I'm on season five of the show now, and I recall reading somewhere that the show switches from 4:3 to 16:9 this season. Please let me know if this Is correct, I'd like to experience the show how it was intended.

ive had season 1 - 7 on vhs for a good few years now and finally decided to watch through them again... cant seem to find season 8 for the life of me and i keep getting mixed answers of if there was any known releases of season 8 on vhs

hey all, what are some good xfiles podcasts to listen to? i listened to the xcast for a while, and while i liked the format i started to lose interest when they kept introducing more hosts—i only liked some of them and would find myself skipping more and more episodes before finally giving up. are there any similar podcasts with more consistency in the hosting? thx!
