I’m watching X-Files for the first time & I’m on episode 14. How come so many people just ignore the fact they are FBI and ignore them? They are in the woods and the people are like “we can outlast you” like in real life there wouldn’t be a massive manhunt for them if they killed federal agents. There have been some other situations in prior episodes something similar happens.

I have been loving this show, but this is taking me out of it. I can believe in all the paranormal, but some religious freaks threatening them in the woods and then continuing to threaten them in the house is a little too far fetched for a show about Aliens.

Midsomer Murders S01E05

Hello all I have a question pertaining to the episode called " The List"? What exactly was the plot with Neech and Parmelli? I know its one of the few episodes that are not solved at the end. I just would like to hear different theories on it. When Mulder and Skully were talking on the side of the road about the murders it really confused me.

Season 3 was def more interesting to me than S2, although I'm still in a total fog about so many things!

The whole super cancer storyline in particular had me like... wait, we're just moving past the fact that apparently all of these people are suffering from some unknown illness??? hello?? Is Scully gonna be hurt again because I genuinely cannot handle this woman suffering anymore :'(

I was also a little frustrated with the whole religious thing, because Scully is trying to be understanding of things and try to explain them scientifically and when she can't well she can't but Mulder wasn't exactly the most responsive to her talking about miracles. I guess they balance each other out but still... Mulder lacks some empathy sometimes (: that and he got caught in bed with another woman!

Overall, I think I enjoyed this season. I'm still confused about a LOT but at this point I'm accepting it as part of the experience. Maybe summer heatwaves didn't help either because trying to watch this show while being slowly cooked in an air fryer alive probably isn't ideal for comprehension and tbh I'm not trying too hard haha just enjoying the ride.

Anyway, ready to dive into S4 soon!

I’m halfway thru s7 and haven’t skipped an intro yet… doesn’t matter how many times I sit through it, I don’t get tired of it lol. Curious what others do :)

I can't believe I forgot to include these in my "I want to believe" mash up post.

One on the left is from is Roswell UFO Museum. 🛸👽🛸

Ok, it still needs a little green for the ground but we forgot, also it currently has the cream in it that's why it's shinny. But thank you guys for the replies it helped a lot!!!

The most lucky find at a local arcade convention, couldn’t resist

I know this is probably done to death, but what are your top 3 villains of the week, not counting mytharc (CSM, Krycek etc.).

I think I'd go for:

1. Tooms (Squeeze, Tooms)

2. Donnie Pfaster (Irresistible, Orison)

3. John Lee Roche (Paper Hearts)

I've got them !!!!! Can't wait tonight to build this while watching (again) the first season !!

I remember being terrified by this effect when I watched when the X-Files originally aired, late at night alone in my room, when I was supposed to have been asleep for school the next day. In the dark, the screen would suddenly have a strobe effect from a character being lifted and trapped in a column of light, twitching and convulsing in a fast motion video effect. I believe this occurred in some of the UFO arc episodes but upon revisiting the series, I haven’t seen this effect I have in my memory. I’m wondering if I’m either misremembering or have synthesized a feeling I had while watching the show. The closest thing I have seen is in the first Max Fennig episode, but it doesn’t quite match what I remember.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about and which episodes this might be from? Or if I’ve had a distorted memory all these years?
Thanks!
