Lowkey Never Wanna See Sydcarmy And Kingdon Canon. Just 10 Seasons Of Yearning Then An Implied Handhold

i love how one of the very first things we see scully do in the pilot is spread gossip

YouTube ads: (30 seconds of irrelevant wackiness) Oh hohohoho the creature wants the Food!

Facebook ads: (fabricated sponsored "news" article) Here is why, everyone is buying the new thing. Trust us everyone is buying it

TikTok ads: (paid actor) I just bought this thing and it totally changed my life! Join me on my Journey, with Product...

Tumblr ads: (ai generated image of heaven) The Truth About Your Elbows

Time for my monthly need to play minecraft build a house, a farm, some bridges, and go down the rabbit hole of mods to make everything cute.

The X Files hits different when watching it with my family

- My dad calls Scully Molly, and one time he called Mulder, Scuncy.

- My sister only watches when Mulder is on screen and every episode asks when are they going to kiss (Oh poor thing).

- My mom just hates the series since S2E11, and is banned in her prescence since.

how to say "I love you" in x-files [151/?] ⤷ 2.18 — “Fearful Symmetry”

Very specific ramble of mine but if you guys ever happen to go down the digital notetaking rabbit hole let me tell you to that a directory of plain text files and synchthing (or a selhosted server if you can do that) is the way to go.

You arent locked in software, no exporting-converting-importing, no forgotten accounts, if you need something more fancy just go with markdown or org files.

the way they went back to the painted poster aesthetic for this season oh we leaving the fucking freezer NOW

I watched a video about how Lost suffered from being a network tv show and I think a lot of the same issues can be applied to the X-Files. The point of the video was that to write a good mystery, you really need to know the conclusion going in because everything about a mystery should be leading to the conclusion. But on a network show where the executives won't let the writers clearly define how long it's going to be, you can't plan a conclusion. Lost kept being extended, which forced the writers to constantly add new twists and elements to the show without really being able to actually answer the questions raised, ultimately leading to an unsatisfying conclusion.

I think this is exactly the same reason I like the X-Files monster of the week episodes but don't really care about the myth arc. The alien invasion plotline had the same problem as Lost in that they constantly had to draw it out as the show kept getting continued and newer, poorly thought out plot points had to be constantly added instead of answering question (for example, the like 7 different answers about what happened to Mulder's sister). The monster of the week episodes, being mostly self-contained, didn't have that problem. The writers knew where the mystery would conclude: at the end of the episode. This ended up making the monster of the week episodes often much more satisfying to watch than a myth arc episode whose questions just wouldn't be answered.
