07.29.14 | 7 is way to low |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | That's right, I actually enjoyed 8 and 9 more than 7. Season 7 suffered from some pretty shocking episodes, and David looked like he didn't want to be there.
Think a lot of fans bitch about 8 and 9 because Mulder isn't in it a lot not seeing that Robert Patrick does an amazing job taking over and later Annabeth Gish. Minus season 9 lack of focus, it still had some solid episodes. |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | Nah, man. Episodes like FPS are unforgivable |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | Although, even though this is a worst to best list, ever season kicks ass at the very least. 1-5 are pretty much joint for me. |
lyzakthellama
07.29.14 | i just started watching this 2 nights ago |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | What you think so far, man? |
Ire
07.29.14 | three is bomb |
lyzakthellama
07.29.14 | its pretty good so far, im enjoying it but I'm only 4 episodes in |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | Agreed Ire. It's all round gold.
I actually think the downfall came as soon as the first movie came out, because that's when it gets really silly (actually seeing little grey aliens and spaceships) and the show never recovers from that. |
ExcentrifugalForz
07.29.14 | 1-6 are all good
show used to scare me as a young'n |
Insurrection
07.29.14 | home is the best episode of anything ever |
demigod!
07.29.14 | gotta start watching this show |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | Even 6 had some dodgy episodes Excen, 1-5 is all winner no filler. |
YoYoMancuso
07.29.14 | 6 has the best episode of the whole series, Field Trip |
MO
07.29.14 | pretty much a perfect ranking |
TheGreatQ
07.29.14 | 1-5 is all winner no filler. [2] |
ExcentrifugalForz
07.29.14 | 6 has weak overall plot direction
but the stand alone episodes are some of the best |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | The ghosts that stole christmas or whatever the fuck it's called? And that two part episode where Mulder switches bodies with a fat dude; season 6 was ok, but by god did it have a couple of troubled episodes. |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | 6 has the best two-parter episodes of the series, Two Fathers and One Son. That season is way too low, but other than that pretty good list. Season 8 is great and gets way too much abuse |
DrGonzo1937
07.29.14 | Agreed Talons. There's even a nice amount of Mulder in it. |
deslad
07.29.14 | Pretty good ranking. I've watched that show many times, including the years it aired and it is definitely one of my favourites. |
ninjuice
07.29.14 | 3 DOES have Jose Chung's...., Clyde Bruckman, DPO and Pusher, but those are where the all-time best eps stop. I can see people having issues with Fight Club, FPS, and All Things, but I don't. Season 7 rules. Patrick and Gish are good replacements but they're still replacements.
1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 8/9 |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.29.14 | i am only on season 5...some episodes are totally gripping and others are like "oh its another x files episode with x filesy things happening" |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | The stand-alone episodes are hit or miss, the mythology ones are better |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.29.14 | i mostly watch for the mythology ones but when the stand-alone episodes hit they are so much fun |
wwf
07.29.14 | So basically I should just start as season 3 amirite |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | Yeah the standalones can be anything from wacky and hilarious to the most horrifying stuff on tv |
WeepingBanana
07.29.14 | i realize the classic status of this show but everyone i know who's watched it who's taste i trust seems to say that it's 75% shit and 25% amazing so idk |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | A lot of the standalones are dumb but the first 6 seasons of the mythology episodes is some of the best stuff on tv |
GmemberKills
07.29.14 | Amazing show. Love to see this shit getting talked about. I finished the show earlier this year. I enjoy 7 more than 9 but i will say, i enjoyed 9 especially since i had such low expectations for it. Agent Dogget was a great character.
Also curious to know how everyone feels about the movies? |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | The first movie was great the other one was completely useless |
Insurrection
07.29.14 | all the best episodes are standalones are you kidding me
clyde bruckman, pusher, beyond the sea, paper hearts, arcadia, bad blood, small potatoes. ugh i might have to rewatch it now |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | There's a lot of lame standalones too. I've only seen like half of them, but overall the mythology ones are way better |
GmemberKills
07.29.14 | 1st movie is amazing. 2nd one is about useless indeed. Really wish they would make a movie or mini-series involving the information found out in the Finale.
I'd say both the Standalones and Mythology have ups and downs. Some of my favorite episodes are standalones though.
One episode that doesn't get talked about a lot is Folie à Deux, the special effects on the creature are so minimal and timeless in my opinion, gave me the creeps 1st time i watched. |
TheGreatQ
07.29.14 | Has anyone read the season 10 comics? Because everything I've heard about them made me want to pretend they don't exist. |
TheGreatQ
07.29.14 | And yes Folie à Deux is a great episode |
ninjuice
07.29.14 | Standalones are EASILY the best on the whole, wtf people. The mythology in the last three seasons was out there/wtf like later seasons of Alias and most of LOST when the former was still in its prime.
Also the first movie was great....until the climax with the bee. Second was also quite flawed but not THAT much worse. |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | The second one pisses me off because it completely ignores the mythology for some stupid stand alone episode-esque plot
that was completely pointless |
demigod!
07.29.14 | 6 episdodes into this show, pretty good so far but can be pretty predictable and cheesy
really dig some aspects though gna keep watchin |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | Season 1 is really cheesy besides the mythologies |
Insurrection
07.29.14 | seasons 2-6 is when it rises to goat tier but s1 has some classic eps |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | Deep throat and Erlenmeyer flask are probably the best of season 1 |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.29.14 | if i remember correctly they sell a box set of only the mythology episodes of the show which would be sweet
but then id have missed the flukeman so idk |
GmemberKills
07.29.14 | Def keep watching dem. In my opinion it takes a little while before for the show really sucks you in. |
wwf
07.29.14 | I'm five episodes in and I'm not totally impressed but I'll keep watching |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.29.14 | its amazing how so many shows these days get away with basically just being the x files reincarnate
fringe, supernatural, etc |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | Bones, some stuff in lost, pretty much every sci-fi show on right now |
EyesWideShut
07.29.14 | X-Files was awesome.. Anyone remember the episode "Home", back in the day that one creeped me out haha |
demigod!
07.29.14 | well so far this seems to borrow from twilight zone pretty heavily, but im just started so maybe it broke out later on
either way im not complaining obviously |
wwf
07.29.14 | It probably doesn't help I've watched Fringe and a few seasons of Supernatural already |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | x-files is infinitely better than anything mentioned here |
demigod!
07.29.14 | idk man twilight zone is pretty fuckin good |
GmemberKills
07.29.14 | Agreed x1000. Although twilight zone is classic. |
TalonsOfFire
07.29.14 | Yeah twilight zone is obviously king |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.29.14 | Yeah x files borrowed from the twilight zone and now we have
x files with demons (supernatural), x files with indiana jones (warehouse 13), x files with fairytales (grimm), x files with bald men and parallel universes (fringe), |
GmemberKills
07.29.14 | Its really a shame so many shows borrowed from this and people eat it up like its groundbreaking. I know some people into supernatural that can't see whats special about the X-Files. |
GmemberKills
07.29.14 | I forgot to post this earlier, if anyone hasn't seen apparently there gonna remaster X-files.
http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-x-files-gets-hd-makeover.html |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.29.14 | I really enjoy the first five seasons of supernatural actually but yeah it's ridiculous that people who watch it will dismiss the x files entirely |
ExcentrifugalForz
07.29.14 | anyone remember the ep where the evil midget
would hide in people's rectums?
thats why i get no sleep |
Insurrection
07.29.14 | supernatural and fringe are awesome but x files is on another level. same with TZ
supernatural is cool cause it at least acknowledges that it copies x files since they reference it all the time |
GmemberKills
07.30.14 | GOAT SCULLY SONG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yscLj2FySdo#t=10 |
demigod!
07.30.14 | that episode based in the arctic with the ancient parasite or whatever was amazing |
Winesburgohio
07.30.14 | Season 1 is one of my favourites idgaf |
Insurrection
07.30.14 | demi have you seen the thing ('82) cause if you liked ice then you would love that movie |
TalonsOfFire
07.30.14 | That's possibly the freakiest sci-fi movie I've ever seen, one of the best |
demigod!
07.30.14 | yeah one of my favourite movies actually, definitely thought of it a lot during Ice |
DrGonzo1937
07.30.14 | I HATED the Thing rip-off episode years ago, it's just blatant plagiarism haha. I liked it a lot more this run through though. |
DrGonzo1937
07.30.14 | But yeah, John Carpenter's The Thing is probably my favourite horror of all time. |
DrGonzo1937
07.30.14 | I forgot to post this earlier, if anyone hasn't seen apparently there gonna remaster X-files.
About time, the show definitely needs a HD overhall. I'd be all over buying this. |
KerfuffleinaHussle
07.30.14 | Will be interesting to see their totally nineties outfits in 21st century HD |
Winesburgohio
07.31.14 | also fun fact only just got that 'the truth is out there' is a three-way pun last night, this fucking show honestly |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | What |
Winesburgohio
07.31.14 | the truth is out there = the truth is available, the truth is extra-terrestrial/space-related, the truth is 'out there' as in ludicrous |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | Ohhh I never noticed that, cool |
DrGonzo1937
07.31.14 | "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" is probably one of my favourite episodes in the whole show; funny and cleverly written. |
YoYoMancuso
07.31.14 | Season 4 has all the best episodes and all the worst ones it's so frustrating |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | Which one is Home, I'm torn about that one |
Insurrection
07.31.14 | is it true they had an episode with burt reynolds. i havent seen the last two seasons |
Insurrection
07.31.14 | home is the one with the inbred family a la texas chainsaw massacre |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | Burt Reynolds plays God |
DrGonzo1937
07.31.14 | Yeah, Home was a great episode. I thought that was season 5? haha so hard to keep track. |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | One of the freakiest things I've ever seen on TV |
Insurrection
07.31.14 | season 4 iirc. flawless tv right there |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | Small Potatoes is a cool episode and not horribly depressing or horrifying which is a nice change |
Insurrection
07.31.14 | small potatoes and bad blood are probably the funniest eps in the show. there are a couple others im probably forgetting tho
FPS was also funny cause it was so terrible |
DrGonzo1937
07.31.14 | FPS was the worst thing ever. |
TalonsOfFire
07.31.14 | Haven't seen that one what makes it so bad? |
ExcentrifugalForz
07.31.14 | Home and Quagmire were the best imo
FPS was like jumping the shark during a sharknado
while saying a corny catch phrase |
