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.

Quagmire was the lake placid type one, I loved that one! Poor Queequeg.

I did like the funny ones. Like Bad Blood etc

I tell you one where he was so hot - 'Monday'. The one where he kept waking up in bed with his pj bottoms on.

PatatasBravasSi · 16/09/2018 20:12

I liked Humbug - that was one of the humorous ones.

I was a massive shipper back in the day. I used to know which episodes had significant moments between them and I'd watch them more than the rest. Didn't make it as far as season 5 though. Damn!

Another image for you all, one that I bloody love for some reason. Man, he could wear a suit.

Speaking of, what actually happened with Mulder and Scully in the end? Did they get together? They had a baby together, no? Or was it left kind of open?

PunkAssMoFo · 16/09/2018 20:35

PatatasBravasSi soooo much happened. I found myself watching the latest series and being confused at references to their relationship and that’s why I went back to the originals re-watch. Emotional rollercoaster.

You’re going to need to do it, it’s totally worth a binge watch. You missed the best bits if you were a shipper.

Eliza9917 · 16/09/2018 20:51

I loved him back in the day. Not so much now.

@PurpleFlower1983
I totally did not book to see David Duchovny in Manchester Blush

Actually, I did! Woohoo!

I started watching from the start on prime so I'm back on it now thanks to this thread. I'd only got to season 2 ep 4 (Sleepless). Krycek is super annoying when he's being Mulder 's keen new partner.

Duane Barry/ Ascension/ 3 next though 😁

I always liked the funny/ monster of the week ones best though.

Monday the 'Groundhog Day ' one was good. And the one where they had to pretend to be husband and wife...

Galvantula · 16/09/2018 21:36

@cathcath2 did you book the meet n greet? 😆

(I totally checked it out)

cathcath2 · 16/09/2018 21:59

@Galvantula
No, I thought meet and greet might be taking it too far (at £125 each); whereas, £34 is totally acceptable Grin.

PunkAssMoFo · 16/09/2018 22:01

I have tickets in my basket, but it’s all a bit ‘dad rock’......

Coldilox · 16/09/2018 22:41

As a closeted teen I pretended it was Mulder I fancied, but it was always Scully. She's been top of my laminated list for nearly 25 years. DW knows I'd leave her in a second if Gillian asked.

My God, Stella Gibson. If she were my Supertintendent I'd never get any work done.

Cheeeeislifenow · 16/09/2018 22:46

Oh my God! He was my first proper crush..and I totally totally would...

gizmomonki · 16/09/2018 23:03

I've fancied this guy for over 20 years, he's getting on a bit now but I reckon given the chance I would😂 but he's dating a 24 year old and that creeps me out cos he's like nearly 60!!! His kids aren't much younger surely I'm not the only one that thinks it's a bit creepy!

WowserBowser · 16/09/2018 23:27

No I agree. I said up thread 👆

PurpleFlower1983 · 17/09/2018 06:50

@cathcath2 I’m so jealous!! But I do think it might send me into early labour! Grin

I love The Post Modern Prometheus!

There is an extended scene from the end where he spins her round Grin

PurpleFlower1983 · 17/09/2018 06:56

And who can forget this deleted gem...

gizmomonki · 17/09/2018 07:48

@PurpleFlower1983 how have I never seen that scene 😍😍😍 they were both Defo at their best around the time of the x files movie. Although I really enjoyed season 11 despite them both being older and somehow becoming amazing fighting ninjas 😂 would love to see more but I don't think ga is up for it cos she has a much more successful
Acting career than dd and is busy with that.

@cheesefield - I went away for the weekend so have only just got up to s5ep5. I was inwardly shouting KISS KISS KISS

cheesefield · 17/09/2018 19:51

@PinguDance Oh it's such a lovely moment isn't it.

I would have grabbed his face, snogged his face off and dragged him back to my hotel room. Even if the FBI sacked me, I'd call it a good deal.

My friend had the audacity to suggest Mulder had a Dad bod Shock HmmConfusedAngry

I was obsessed with The X Files, starting from when season 2 was the launch night choice for the Sky 2 channel in 1998. I was 13! DH and I actually first bonded over The X Files in the uni bar and realised we were soulmates when we could both name tons of episodes.

sherbertsticksuhoh · 17/09/2018 23:32

This cover was taped onto my ceiling when I was a teenager. My friend and I were obsessed and we wrote fan fiction before we even knew what that meant. It was set in a high school (fb high) and is utterly cringe worthy looking back on it. But we loved the whole thing as teenagers.
One of our favorite episodes was szghy (sp?).
I also had the simpsons episode where David Duchovany came as a guest appearance.
