X-Files thread anyone?

[UnquietDad]

Anyone watching?
Daily repeats are on Virgin 1 at the moment.

aren't you bored with them now? i am

Some of them are a bit samey.

Esp. the Monster of the Week ones.

But sometimes they do a quirky one which is a bit different, e.g. the bank raid in a time-loop, and the alien baseball player flashback one.

I think they are about to cut Season 6 short before the end-of-season cliffhanger and flip right back to the start of the first season again!

Oh I like X-files

What time? & what series episode are we on?

Now I love the monster a week one - Tombs used ot terrify me! I got bored of the conspitacy ones. Wish Virgin would show it an hour later 7pm is just a bit too early

katyMac: Series 6, just ending. Series 1 about to re-start. Virgin 1 at 7pm, daily. Also repeated 11am.

Of course Freeviewers can't watch the morning showing.

11am.....I'm at work then so no TV

7pm might be tricky too

(do virgin do a plus 1?)

Not as far as I know...

the first series was really good, spooky

spooky tv seems to have been taken over by teenagers now.

70s spooky tv was the best, like armchair thrillers

ooh too many spooky's in my posts, must be thinking of mulder

Yes Virgin has a plus 1 so I can watch it at 8

Tomorrow is the pilot - goody

I stand corrected.

I don't often say that on here

Well I just checked the sky box for tomorrow

I love the X files. Has anyone seen the episode called Home? Its the most terrifying piece of television ever. I only saw it a couple of years ago as I don't think it was shown here originally as it caused a storm in the US when it was shown. Its about 3 inbred brothers on a murderous rampage. It scared the living daylights out of me when I watched it anyway!!

& I slept through it

seen them all from the beginning

was good, but shame the ending didnt realy make sense with her baby, was it davids etc?

blonde thick here

will have to watch if its starting again on series on... the x-files brought me and DH togther.

Started last night, meridian - ep. 2 was tonight and so much of the mythology is already there, so early. The government conspiracy, the UFOs, "Deep Throat", even the idea that "they" are already here and have been for some time! I thought that was meant to be the big twist which reveals it "all" later in the series? And there it is in plain sight in the second ever episode!

Wintera

Completely agree, first time I watched that couldn't sleep properly for days... it was just so wrong!

Anniek - I know, a truly horrific episode! The bit where they murder the sheriff and his wife in their home haunted me for ages after. And then the bit when Mulder and Scully find their Mother!!!!!!!!!!!

I always liked the stand alone episodes best.. the black oil got really tedeious after awhile...

[spoilers]

I think they get away with it UnquietD by having a load of aliens, then having Mulder think the govt made the aliens up, then having that be a govt conspiracy so that there actually are aliens (or are they!) thing I love to death about the X-files is the ambiguity. We still don't know who Scully's baby's dad is! (Do we?)

also on 11am and 12pm (virgin+1) so i have set it on record then as normally stuff on i want at 7/8pm and even with sky + i cant record 3 things at once

Mulder is William's dad surely? Did anyone go and see the movie last year? I did, so I know about things that happened after but I don't want to post any spoilers!

Wintera,

I saw that episode years ago when it first came out (massive fan of the show) and it was so horrendously scary. It happened to be the one night my flatmate at the time stayed in and watched it with me, he was aghast to say the least

I saw the movie...I was a bit disappointed..
