So spoiler alert....

Just finished watching the new episode tonight.  It was basically a comedy.  The main "monster" was the same comedian that was in Yes Man.  What the fuck?!?

When I was a kid, I watched all the episodes.  Damn near shit my pants with a lot of them...they were that freaky!  But tonight's episode...I was waiting for the pre-recorded sit-come laughter/applause at the pauses.

It's X-Files so no matter what I'll keep watching....but is it just me or are these new episodes just not up to snuff compared to back in the 90's?

Thanks

The smart people who made the X-files went on and made a TV show about a chemistry teacher who cooks meth and never looked back.

I haven't seen any of the new episodes, but I did go back and watch some of the "best" old X-files episodes.  Wasn't as good as I remembered.  Sounds like I'm not missing anything in the new season....

Yeah, it reminds me of a B horror movie.  Not very impressed so far.  I hope it gets better, but I think the theme has been set.

The old seasons always had a goofy episode or two. This one matched that. Basically Mulder didn't think he had it in him to believe anymore. The monster made his rethink that and gave him confidence that he still has the ability to believe. Great episode. Scully is hot as fuck.

They had the occasional goofy/comedic episode during the original run as well. Those, too, were usually "monster of the week" shows like tonight's episode.

Compare to Jose Chung's From Outer Space. They had these comedic-horror  stand alone monster of the week episodes in the 90's too. Also Clyde Brockman's Final repose, small potatoes, war of the coprophages.

In the old series, there were episodes with comedy, and self parody.

The latest episode was in that mold.

This is inline w/ the original series.  They would throw in a lighthearted episode in from time to time.

Someone asked me if it was the guy from "Yes Man" and that is when I realized who it was the bank manager from the movie.  Also the whole episode was a dead ringer for the comical episodes from the yesteryears of the X-files.  It was great if you truly got into the original series.

Exactly.  In the likes of Jose Chung's From Outer Space and Bad Blood.  They did these comedic episodes to break up the mythology and regular monster of the week episodes.  They haven't done one in a long time and pretty much made a sitcom out of it.  I'm alright with that.

yeah i liked within the first 5 minutes of episode 1 they had the "conspiracy kook" who right when he mentioned guns mulder calls him a nutjob or something of that nature.

Homo's this shiz is da bomb.

Also b horror you say.. watch turbo kid on netflix. Its like Mad Max had a son and he rides a bike. The first 30 mins are a little slow as they develop the characters but it gets good quick after that. Hobo with a shot gun was good too. Rubber was not good but I watched the whole thing, that tire was seriously demented.

X-Files is awesome, I heard it was weak sauce but I've been satisfied.

You need a few funny episodes in a series. Can't be really super serial all the time.  I think they said it was to poke fun at the "monster of the week" that the middle seasons of the show turned into.

In three episodes they've hit right wing talk, gun control, military industrial complex, oil profits, gays, abortion, trannies... I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Global warming? The only thing missing is hands up don't shoot. If nothing else, they're trying too hard.

It was pretty much the same way with the original series.  Before school shootings were the "cool thing" for losers to do it was workplace shootings specifically the Post Office.  Plenty of episodes with those kinds of themes but the shooters/hostage takers were usually dealing with some monster of the week or paranormal stuff or even aliens.  As part of the original mythology during a holiday there was supposed to be a viral outbreak and FEMA would take over as part of the alien invasions...with camps and all.




The black oil, the alien virus?  The oil rigs being used to pump the virus and send it who knows where?  Obviously there wasn't a tie in between evil oil and the evil virus right?  The difference was there was 9 years to go through all of that before and they're trying to capitalize on what's going on right now just like there was stuff going on in the 1990s...strangely during another Democrat's term in the White House.  Yeah, maybe they're trying too hard but they're just doing what they did before and strangely it worked before.

Did you not see the very first episode very aired? She was literally in her bra for that.

Flat chested? Gtfo. I'd get probeD by 100 aliens and hybrids to get a chance to tap her ass.

I had to watch episode 3x20 on amazon tonight.

I'd like to eat Scully's blanky blank then blank her blank even more now, though we're both 20 years older now and I was only 21 blank years old the first time I wanted to blank her.

I liked the episodic episodes of the old X files better than the conspiracy thread.
The ones where they would go investigate some oddity, and next week investigate another unrelated oddity.
