I started watching it this summer and so far I'm nearly done with season two! Honestly I love it soo much so far. Scully is my favorite b/c shes fucking amazing. I'm just worried i won't be through with season 10 by the time school starts again lol. What do you guys like about xfiles?
Oh absolutely. (You can probably tell from my avatar ) I hope you're enjoying it so far - it took me quite a long time to catch up on most of it, but it was a great experience. There are a lot of things I like about the show but I won't write a novel here. Let's just say that within all the conspiracies and semi-frightening cases within the plot, there is some great exploration of ideas such as families, power struggles, religion, and capturing the issues and anxieties of its time. I love Mulder and Scully and their character exploration and development over time, as well as the depth to their relationship. There's a lot more I can say but simply, it's just an iconic show and enjoyable to watch. (Except I tend to not watch the super, super scary episodes late in the dark at night :lol I tend to recommend this to a lot of people watching The X-Files, but them0vieblog has in depth reviews of every single X-Files episode (impressive), and when I was marathoning the show and catching up, these reviews provided a LOT of depth/background information and thought and they can be a great read. Maybe you'd be interested in checking them out.
I've been watching it for the first time too! I'm way up to Season 7 now. Some episodes are so silly but it's really fun.
Yes! I love X-Files! My favorite episodes are the stand-alone ones rather than the mythology ones. I love both Scully and Mulder but Scully's the best. My friends and I used to discuss every episode the next day!
Yep! I started watching it in its 7th season when I was a youngin'. Scully was definitely one of my first girl crushes, as a matter of fact. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
