Calling all X-Philes! Weekly ep thread.

999 replies

Following on from this thread, we're working our way through our X-Files boxsets by choosing a few eps from each season and watching one every Sunday night. Last week we watched Beyond the Sea but tonight's s1 episode hasn't been chosen yet - maybe Lazarus or Young at Heart.

So come, join us, and re-live the excitement! Sigh again at the forehead-kiss, weep at the demise of Deep Throat, marvel at how they disguise Gillian Anderson's pregnancy...

There's that line! "Rugged manly men" and a mean comment about Scully's lack of boyfriend.

I was just thinking that :o

Gileswithachainsaw · 09/02/2014 21:09

I swear she looks tinier than normal in this episode

I thought that! I think in non-smart clothes she really shows her age.

It's so weird seeing her so young having got to season 8. She lost a ton of weight though. Not that she looks like she needs to but she definately got slimmer in later seasons.

This is gross. Trying to imagine watching this for the first time and not know what's going on.

I remember when this one was aired and how annoyed my parents were that I was watching "this crap" :o

Yes, she does get very skinny later on. Changes her face completely.

DH has joined the room. Keeps saying "why don't they just light some fires, then they won't have to worry about that stupid generator?"

He's also annoyed that Scully isn't doing more "sciency stuff" like examining samples.

OP posts:
Gileswithachainsaw · 09/02/2014 21:19

And the lab equipment is where? :o

VashtaNerada · 09/02/2014 21:19

He says he'd make it around the cabin Grin and is pleased they're now taking samples.

But someone would have to stay out there and tend to the fire!! :o
