This show changed my life when I was 11. I was absolutely obsessed with it through my teens. In 1995, I caught the end of an episode in season 2 and was hooked from that point onwards. Nothing will ever come close to The X Files for me. Pure perfection. It was my best friend during my very turbulent journey through adolescence.

My husband and I are currently getting our 11 year old daughter hooked on it. At first she didn't find it relatable, but quickly realized almost every episode does have something relevant and/or informative. Perfect example: we watched the episode that talks about Operation Paperclip weeks ago... we were watching something tonight that mentioned Werhner von Braun as a space engineer/architect and she said "isn't that one of the scientist from Operation Paperclip?" (Proud parenting moment for her father and me.) We are almost finished with season 3. It's nice to know maybe one day she'll be an adult and grateful we watched it together as a family.🖤

I was 5 or 6 years old when I first watched the X-Files. My dad would put me to bed, but I'd sneak to my grandmas room to sleep in her bed, and we'd stay up for hours watching TV. X-Files, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Murder She Wrote, and the OG, Diagnosis: Murder! I read your comment, and it took me back because, honestly, those were the days, and nothing will ever touch the X-Files for me, like you said!

#108: The 90's Canadian show "Reboot" made by Mainframe Entertainment (the same people who made Beast Wars) was Headquartered in BC. Gillian Anderson was a fan of the show and toured the company and everything. While she was married to Clyde Klotz who was the art director for both Reboot AND X-files a Reboot episode named "Trust No one" featured a character called Data Nully who was an agent investigating supernatural disappearances voiced by Gillian Anderson. The episode was heavily based on the first X-files movie and a few episodes. It also had a Fox Mulder character named Fax Modem (the show took place inside a computer)

Learned something new today

I binge watched all 9 series in the past month thanks to Disney + and I gotta say that it was so beyond its time and being a horror fanatic myself I've acknowledged that a lot of modern horror has taken inspiration from the X files. The 90s noir tone that especially the first series have is still unmatched, I think even David Fincher took something from it. The show went downhill in season 8 towards 9 because Mulder was unreplaceble and the 2016/2018 series were mostly fan service but I hope it will be rediscovered soon. Thanks for the vid and merry Christmas!

Thank you to Chris Carter for standing his ground about Gillian Anderson. No one else ever could have been Scully.

I worked graveyards on the weekends through much of the first several years of the success of the X Files, so I only made the journey through all original seasons for the first time about 7 or 8 years ago. I'm currently watching it again for a second time, and am really surprised at how much I didn't recall from the first run-through, as well as how much I missed the first time that now stands out on the second journey through all seasons. I'm not crazy about the idea of an animated re-boot as a comedy. The chemistry between the actors (not just Duchovny and Anderson, but all of them) is so strong that there could be another at least several seasons created with brand new explorative content based solely on true unexplained events of the past two decades. I read somewhere that Anderson recently turned down the chance for another X Files reboot, which is disappointing. The article also stated that Duchovny would not do the show again without Anderson - very admirable. I'm all for another complete reboot of the X Files with as many of the original players as are still available. It would kick serious ass, and any fan of this series knows it. This series was so far ahead of its time and just so very brilliant. I did become a huge fan of Chris Carter's Millennium show when it was new because I could watch it before work during those years, but they kind of went nuts with it toward the end of Season 1 and I could see that it most unfortunately wasn't going to last, despite the absolutely impeccable performances of Lance Henriksen and Megan Gallagher.

Bring back the X-Files!

108: Some of the music written for the film "Fight the Future" was composed and arranged by Mike Oldfield, whose famous "Tubular Bells" was used as the main theme for the film "The Exorcist", thanks to its eerie opening melody. For the X-Files film, one of the tracks he created blended Tubular Bells with the X-Files theme, called "Tubular X", and the result is far more groovy than it has any right to be.

You forgot to mention a song by Bree Sharp, called "the man, the myth, the monotone. She sent the song to Duchovny who got a kick out of it and sent it to a record executive friend of his. I think she only did one record. But I thought it was a great story

Top 5 show of all time.

Not sure how I feel about some kind of Star Trek Lower Decks style spinoff of X-Files. Part of the reason why the show was so good was that it took its horror and investigative aspects pretty seriously most of the time.

The original soundtrack of the first movie has a hidden track at the end. At 10:13 the silence is broken and the full secret behind the X-Files is revealed. I found it by accident.

I loved this show, lots of nostalgia. When are you gonna add season 4 to the stranger things timeline?

When are series comes to end, where you have formed an emotionally attachment with the characters (because everyone you know really sucks) ...its like losing a friend. The most memorable television series really captures the zeitgeist of their time and is the reason they elicit feelings of nostalgia as they transport us emotionally back in time, when nightmares where something you had when you slept, as opposed to taday, where we wake to nightmare every morning. And each night when we go to bed, we say little prayer to our God emploring HER ha, to have mercy and take us in our sleep. Dr They, nailed it, "The truth is out there, but people today wouldn't regonize it if they fell over it. If you did another series of the X-files today, the Qnon lunatics would be anaylising the surreptitious clues, as that is what gives psychotics a reason to live, and might have something to do with the explosion of mental illness. The current zeitgeist is bewildeing infantile stupidity and ignorance We need to be challenging the lunatics in government like Mulder and Scully did ....or we are doomed. Denial has limits, and we are now abusing it, and after everything it has done for us. There's just no respect anymore I am a transistorized, transgenderized, transmogrified, trans-human A corporatized, commercialized, industrial strength consumer A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak A social climbing net worker that's always on heat I got my education majoring in indoctrination Where they taught me to comply, to never question why And so I'm chasing an illusion of success that's a delusion That's sending me insane, exploding my brain And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial

The Avengers. My favorite show when I was a kid. Dianna Rigg was the star, Mrs Peel. After she left they did one season without her with some forgettable character and then it was canceled.

Carter knew what he was doing from start to finish and he also helped an amazing actress to give birth without worrying while holding on the fans... WHY CAN'T THINGS BE LIKE THEY USED TO BE THEN?!
