When I was about 13, this was my favorite show. It was my introduction to surrealism, and I harbored a massive crush on Agent Dale Cooper, as well as a love of the overall aesthetic - the neo-50s, rainy Pacific Northwest. The other girls in my class were obsessed with Beverly Hills 90210, which aired in the same…

Interesting that two years ago it seemed like the X-Files revival and Empire were the biggest deals at the Fox upfronts. Kind of sad that X-Files seems like an afterthought now.

Almost as bad as all the permutations of Michaela/Makayla/MacKayla/McCayla etc for girls, and the overwhelming number of female Taylors and Baileys. A friend of my mom's named her daughter Baylor, and I feel so bad for that kid. My first question was, "Baler? As in, one who bales cotton?" (They do live in a…

Hard upvote.

Yes, the Season 10 comic was way better than Season 10 (they brought back Flukeman!) and I would strongly advocate for Joe Harris to write at least one of the new episodes.

I'd definitely take them over Miller and Einstein any day of the week.

It just didn't fit with the rest of the episode, which cold-opened with people literally on fire after a terrorist bombing. It was touchy stuff, more than a little Islamophobic, and then…suddenly Mulder's on shrooms? For most people, this was a little tone-deaf.

I like where you're going with this.

100% will watch.

His kung fu is the best!

Oh God. I'm internally cringing so hard right now.

Oh man, I'm so glad I'm not the only person who is still obsessing about the terrible pacing in season 10.

Aww, the whale noises actually kind of endeared me to her. They really didn't know what on earth to do with her character back in the day, and obviously they still don't. Having her as CSM's lackey was some hot bullshit right there. It should've been Laurie Holden - bringing Marita Covarrubias back would've been…

I must admit, I would gladly watch Doggett and Reyes over those terrible Mulder and Scully doppelgangers they introduced in the last series.

I will sign this petition.

Well said. It's a shame that he's had plenty of time to be thinking up more X-Files stories, and the audience was primed and ready, and then the "mytharc" episodes just completely flatlined. The pacing was terrible - either the first or last episode should have been a two-parter - and the episode with the terrorist…

I don't know if their Alex Jones was necessarily a hero, but they certainly didn't delve deeply enough into the bizarre world-flip of 90s Mulder being a near-outcast in the FBI for his willingness to consider fringe-y explanations for unsolvable cases, to the current day populace that is more than willing to believe…

Ahh, thanks for the correction! Been a few years since that show….

I had both a cousin and ex-classmate post roughly the same thing on Facebook right after the inauguration, saying thank goodness "class" had returned to the White House. I don't think they're aware that the word "class" is not a synonym for "white."

Yeah, Philadelphia feels pretty regressive when you watch it now, but I think younger viewers may not fully realize the climate of the times. IIRC, Philadelphia came out roughly around the same time as the San Francisco Real World, one episode of which revolved around the drama of HIV+ Pedro eating another roommate's…
