To be falling in love with Fox Mulder all over again

Anyone watching the full whack of box sets on prime?

He's still hot and weird. This show has aged so well. I watched it (probably unwisely) as a young teen and was thoroughly scared shitless from about age 11 onwards.

He's still most lovely.

@cheesefield I tried SO hard, but it was a flat no from DH. I think he suspects my motives were not entirely pure.

Stripyhoglets1 · 12/09/2018 19:55

Not unreasonable at all!

I love David Duchovny’s non-acting acting. Yesterday I saw the one where the sort of lame janitor man pretends to be Mulder and it was the first time I realised he could actually convey a different character. I feel like he’s exactly the same In Californication too.

Ooh Dana is actually a decent name too.

Anyone up the duff with twins?

My boxer dog was called Dana because of my love of the x files when I was a kid

PinguDance · 12/09/2018 19:58

This is such a timely thread - mere minutes ago I was thinking - could I call my other child Hermione Dana, is that lame? (Yes I know it is)

PurpleFlower1983 · 12/09/2018 20:05

I would DEFINITELY be up for a baby Fox or Dana but I don’t think my DH would approve Envy

I had a pet called Dana Grin

SerenDippitty · 12/09/2018 20:05

Mind you I fancied Mulder’s boss Skinner too.

The box sets are on prime??? Why didn't I know this??

PurpleFlower1983 · 12/09/2018 20:09

Alex Krycek was pretty hot too...

SerenDippitty · 12/09/2018 20:09

So was John Doggett.

starryeyedsnowgirl · 12/09/2018 20:09

I have recently been binging too. I was in primary school when I started watching. I binged watched the whole thing again while at uni. What is odd now looking back is that I always thought mulder and scully had this amazing love for each other that was almost aspirational and now I realise they are both totally dysfunctional.

He is still hot though!

PinguDance · 12/09/2018 20:10

@cheesefield - oh no that pics ruining it a bit! I need him to be brooding. I fancy Skinner too but in a less teen fandom sort of way

ZenNudist · 12/09/2018 20:12

He aged really well. Is yum in Californication. I prefer older Duchovny.

Sadly hes a bit too old now.

He has alsp written books and records/ tours his music. Queue me dreaming that i go to watch him play and end up shagging him. Grin

SecretWitch · 12/09/2018 20:12

Love a bit of Fox! Wasn’t there a song with a line, “Why won’t you love me, David Duchovny?” ( I hope I didn’t make this up...Blush!!)

YourHandInMyHand · 12/09/2018 20:14

Ooh I was thinking the other day that I fancied binge watching Xfiles. Didn't know they were on prime!

I am also pregnant. Not sure how DP would feel about naming our kid fox. I'll ask him later and report back ha ha.

PurpleFlower1983 · 12/09/2018 20:14

Gillian Anderson has aged well too, as has Mitch Pileggi. Not so much Robert Patrick. I always resented Doggett though, it marked the beginning of the end Sad

PinguDance · 12/09/2018 20:14

I genuinely took this photo of my screen as an extremely lame person

I loved Krycek bestest.

Galvantula · 12/09/2018 20:16

Marking my place as a reminder to watch X files instead of random crap on Netflix/Prime next time I'm bored.

Did anyone else watch random Duchovny films too? I'm sure I was quite taken with Kalifornia for some reason... Wink not seen that for years.

PurpleFlower1983 · 12/09/2018 20:19

I love that song/video! Just shows how popular the show was!

Bloody hell this thread has brought out my inner X-Phile geek!

PinguDance · 12/09/2018 20:21

Omg that song - fucking great

OfaFrenchmind2 · 12/09/2018 20:22

My first and eternal TV love. Even Captain America is in serious contention for best loved.

But is it not weird that Gillian Anderson is even more gorgeous now? In Hannibal she is a sublime Ice Queen.
