The film's okay. 2nd one not so much.

YEA and yea.

Picked up the complete boxset a couple of years ago and ploughed through.

Mostly still great.

However I prefer the, what I called 'creep of the week' self contained episdoes to the ongoing Mulder Sister/Scully Baby/Alien Assassin/Smoking Man stuff.

My favourite episodes where the vampire trailer park one and the one where Scully Drives.

Never saw the second movie. I think that was a good move.

Yep, I mentioned it earlier. Took a while to get going, but when it did it was ace, then it was gone.

I watched all of the twilight zone in 2005. Was good.

Home was an amazing episode. Very dark and creepy.

I watched the entire series a year or so ago. Love it. Was always fun spotting "before they were famous" actors popping up. Jack Black makes an appearance at some point.

In a (sort of) reverse of that I laughed last night at the surprise appearance of Skinner popping up in Return of the Living Dead II as a cigar chomping army guy gleefully mowing down hordes of zombies.

I actually bought a load of conspiracy books that had been re-branded as 'UNOFFICIAL X FILES' etc, so I went down that dark rabbit hole.

Scout - Jack Black was in DPO. We saw a very young Seth Green in Deep Throat last night, and I believe a young Shia Lebouf shows up leater.

I remember an episode about an invisible elephant. It was shit.

I was just about to come on here and talk about the one with the wierd family in the house but I have been beaten to it! Home was an outstanding episode and the one I remember the clearest.

I loved the funny episode, I still like it when serious TV series have the occasional funny/clever episode. I can only think of Supernatural that is currently that inventive.

Used to like the stand alone episodes and found the whole conspiracy thing annoying - but I've now flipped to wanting to watch them for that storyline.

Besides having all 9 series I've only watched series 1 end to end...and I'm sure there a few series I haven't watched at all - will get around to watching them in sequence at some point.

There weren't that many really daft episodes but I remember one with something that took over computers which made for idiotic road sign displays etc.

There was a rather cringy gaming one when Mulder got trapped inside some kind of virtual reality shooter.

That was written by William Gibson too.

FFS.

I used to hate the funny episodes. Back in the days when I was a small child, Mulder having convinced me of little green men, the last thing I wanted, after waiting a week, was a funny episode about stuff that wasnt aliens.

I know what you mean. I enjoyed the funny episodes when I revisited them but I hated them too when I was a kid. I remember getting my dad to watch an episode with me after going on and on about how kickass the show was only for that week's episode to turn out to be a funny one. He was all "wtf is this shit" as I tried to explain that it wasn't normally like that.

christ she is stunning.
