I see... by Quint	Feb 24th, 2008 06:05:31 AM
The trailer leaked... but for those not awake at the asscrack of dawn and who miss it when Fox legal sends their hounds after everybody who even looked at it, this'll be left over... like a transcript of what was...
First. British. And awake. by JimmyCrackWhoreAndIDontCare	Feb 24th, 2008 06:17:18 AM
Trailer looks snazzy.
i so look forward to this by sevl	Feb 24th, 2008 06:18:17 AM
it kinda feels like the right time for this movie, and i'm really pumped that the chemistry between duchovny and anderson seems to be that good...
Damn it, third! by technosnob	Feb 24th, 2008 06:20:06 AM
Why in God's name do I care what order I come? Anyway The last season was awful, but I still can't wait to see them again.
Fourth? by football	Feb 24th, 2008 06:29:04 AM
Sorry, couldn't resist it. Back to the topic... hopefully X-Files 2 will be more than the first movie. Though I don't hate the first one, I can't say it went anywhere. Fingers crossed that this one does!!
Gillian Anderson looks good.... by FlickaPoo	Feb 24th, 2008 06:33:25 AM
...I mean GOOD. And that's all I have to say about that. For now.
You're saying there was a dude dressed as link from Zelda? by vini77	Feb 24th, 2008 06:48:31 AM
LMFAO
Damn good work AICN! by EvilGeek1	Feb 24th, 2008 06:53:38 AM
I'm very pleased at that trailer. I agree with Quint. It really got those juices flowing. The very look of it got me excited. And it didn't give anything away. We only got a glimpse of what's to be. Not like those retards who put the whole premise and outcome into two minutes, killing every urge to see the damn movie! I'm rambling, but I'm so fucking happy! X-Files! Oh and fuck all haters. Fuck you all in advance! You have no sense of loyalty and you use the internet to hide your inadequacies and appear superior amidst your unknown and non-caring peers. Go back to your bestiality porn and leave this post alone! X-Files rules!
Iconic! by pancomplex	Feb 24th, 2008 06:54:03 AM
After seeing the trailer I can honestly say that I am looking forward to X-Files 2 much more than the return of Indy.
Bad Blood by Batou	Feb 24th, 2008 06:56:00 AM
I loved that Bad Blood episode too. When I saw "Tall Tales" on Supernatural, it reminded me of Bad Blood so much. Of course John Shiban wrote Tall Tales...
Is Skinner Back as well? by Frequency100	Feb 24th, 2008 06:59:51 AM
Will we be seeing Mitch Pileggi as Skinner in the film? Anyone know?
Favourite X-Files episode ever... by EvilGeek1	Feb 24th, 2008 07:00:21 AM
Has to be Jose Chung's From Outer Space. Heheheheee. Jesse Ventura and the planet Venus...ahahaaa
X-Cops 2: Electric Boogaloo by Dr Gregory House	Feb 24th, 2008 07:02:02 AM
Mulder and Scully are once followed by a Cops camera crew. This time, in the year 2012. They bust some 'greys' for making meth, nab some Mayan spirits drinking n driving with pot and meth in the car, harass some inbred mutant family fighting in the house, shoeless n shirtless....the usual.
Did anyone ask about Gillian's 'pokies'? by Dr Gregory House	Feb 24th, 2008 07:05:07 AM
I mean, Christ, anyone see the stills of her nips in that recent flick she did? I can't remember what the movie is called, but it should've been called 'Gillian's Nipples Save The World'. Damn!!!
Scully sticks a gun up an alien's ass in this by Spoiler_Man	Feb 24th, 2008 07:19:25 AM

Last King of Scotland by GrubStreeter	Feb 24th, 2008 07:24:40 AM
Anderson is only in the first 1/2 hour of this, but she looks damn good while she's there. Highly sexy lady.
Shit, Anderson looks good! by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 24th, 2008 07:28:01 AM
And Mulder running in the trailer is cool. You can never have too many people running in trailers. I'm in.
Cigarette Smoking Dude by screamster101	Feb 24th, 2008 07:31:26 AM
He's gotta be back. Deep Throat also? CANT F'N WAIT!
Anderson... by screamster101	Feb 24th, 2008 07:32:46 AM
Oh yeah, she is looking mighty tasty. wolf whistle
the 'horror' episodes were the best by spider_neil	Feb 24th, 2008 07:37:53 AM
I thought the alien conspiricy was boring as heck. episodes like 'toomes' 'darkness falls' were my favorites that's why I'm looking forward to this movie. chris carter has seen sense and gone back to basics.
Gillian looks hotter than ever. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 24th, 2008 07:38:44 AM
I love that long hair.
Speaking of Duchovny by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 24th, 2008 07:40:45 AM
Okay guys, the misses wants a chick flick, and you don't. However you want to get some later. The solution is Return to Me. It's a non-chick flick chick flick.
"Home" is the best epi ever.. by screamster101	Feb 24th, 2008 07:41:22 AM

I was never a huge fan of Gillian Anderson... by DanielKurland	Feb 24th, 2008 07:47:15 AM
in terms of attractiveness, but she looks amazing in those pictures.
You don't know what it's like Agent Scully... by Some farts really stink.	Feb 24th, 2008 07:50:07 AM
...to be a mother - and now she DOES. Scully can stick her sexy little tongue out at the Peacock mama now. Brilliant! Peacocks rock. Bring 'em back!
beautiful beautiful by ScaryJim	Feb 24th, 2008 07:53:19 AM
Can't wait for this. Recently watched the entire series in a couple of months, yeah the last 2 seasons were pretty awful but I think I must have missed a few seasons before that first time round- classic telly till season 8. I had it in my head that it kind of lost it after the film. I liked the funny episodes alot more the second time round, I always thought they were a waste of an episode when I was an angsty teenager. Me and the Mrs used to watch Supernatural even though we both appreciated it was cack, now after watching X files again we can't even do that - Scary just got stupid.

all this talk of best episodes ever by Charlie Murphy	Feb 24th, 2008 08:03:33 AM
and i don't think i could choose. there's a couple runs in season 3, 4 and 5 that are unbelievable. i love the episode where the day endlessly repeats. i have a soft spot for one of the early season 7 episodes in the fast food restaurant. the vampire episode. X-Cops. the season one finale (was that a baby fucking alien?!?!) but as much as i love the show i must admit i've never been able to watch every season 9 episode. i have the dvds, i've tried a few times, but i just can't do it. not because of some insane loyalty to mulder and skully (i really like season 8, probably more than most), but just because... it's just not that good.
Ain't it Cool News? Hella YEAH. by Yeti	Feb 24th, 2008 08:10:26 AM
Great post!

No word about any potential Millennium tie-ins? Did I catch the end of that trailer correctly? It's out in a couple months? holy crap.
FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC by Outside	Feb 24th, 2008 08:41:08 AM
I was looking forward to this after the stills posted in December but now my blood is surging. YES! YES!!! They're back! And Carter says more movies on the way! I may have to go take a cold shower after this!
Definitely my most anticipated movie of 2008. by PVIII	Feb 24th, 2008 08:44:54 AM
And what a great call on Bad Blood- x-files was great when it was poking fun at itself. I'd put Arcadia up there as one of my favorites too (where Mulder and Scully go undercover as the Petri's). The Anasazi 2 parter was also fantastic. And this was just so well done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =5QNX8NtMClU&feature=related
And I say to myself, it's so... by Osmosis Jones	Feb 24th, 2008 08:45:23 AM

The best eps were... by andyny29	Feb 24th, 2008 08:49:23 AM
Humbug, Clyde bruckman, Bad Blood, Home(the peacock brothers and their mother who lived under the bed). I saw Gillian at the '98 New York X-files convention. She was very nervous for some reason but warmed up nicely as the show progressed. Very beautiful redhead.
andyny29 by PVIII	Feb 24th, 2008 08:52:34 AM
At the Jacob Javits Center? I was there too, and still in high school - she must've been 5'1 - so tiny.
Gillian Anderson is frankly, a fucking Goddess. by Gabba-UK	Feb 24th, 2008 09:03:32 AM
and any male who says otherwise should really sit down and think long and hard about their sexuality. Forget about 3 on the finger scale, I'd cut my arm off if God would let me fuck her!!!! Oh.... and I'm looking forward to the movie too.
I just rewatched Bad Blood the other day. by rbatty024	Feb 24th, 2008 10:10:49 AM
I hope the excitement for this extends to non-geeks. I think Quint's right when he says Mulder and Scully are iconic characters, I hope the rest of the world feels the same way. I'm looking forward to seeing how their relationship has progressed since the end of the show.

Here is what I'm getting outta this story and talkback by conspiracy	Feb 24th, 2008 10:19:23 AM
Duchovny has a career that has basically faded into nothingness and has swallowed his pride in return for a payday. Gillian Anderson is a bawdy redheaded hotty who knows her fanbase consists of guys who get off on torture porn and spank it daily while thinking about her. Still...I liked the early X-Files...and will Netflix this thing in September.
Conspiracy, I don't think this is a cynical cash in. by rbatty024	Feb 24th, 2008 10:37:16 AM
Duchovny has his own show called Californication, which he just won some sort of award for (Golden Globe or something). I believe Anderson has been working the stage in England and among her other roles she starred in an adaptation of Bleak House and, more recently, The Last King of Scotland, which was pretty popular and won a few awards itself (although none for Anderson). They are consistently working and obviously making a good deal of money from X-Files residuals. I don't think they would even take the roles unless they felt they were well enough established outside of The X-Files.
Excellent, excellent, excellent news by Aethyrr	Feb 24th, 2008 10:37:23 AM
I'm loving this! Never thought I would be feeling like this but these are really exciting news. Looking forward to it!
I wanna be her human shampoo! by farmercotton	Feb 24th, 2008 10:47:10 AM
Okay, I know I'm going to sound like Prince Charles caught on an MI5 wiretap whispering dirty talk to Camilla Parker Bowles, but I wanna be her human shampoo! My god that woman is beauteous. She just gets better looking as she gets older. Not to mention being a damn fine actress. Why aren't the top directors licking this woman's dainty and pulchritudinous feet...begging her to star in their films? David Duchovney got that song written about him. Well, Gillian should have a whole bloody album!
Duchovny & Nicholas Lea by JaPra	Feb 24th, 2008 10:49:03 AM
Those are two men I salivate for. Nicholas Lea is one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. I hope to see a shirtless Mulder somewhere in this film.
Cynical cash-in or not by BrandonGK	Feb 24th, 2008 10:51:39 AM
I'm going to see this, we haven't seen Mulder and Scully in action in nearly eight years and it'll certainly be fun to see them again.
Approach with Caution by MajorMajorMajor	Feb 24th, 2008 11:29:12 AM
I want to believe, but I'm going to approach X Files 2 with caution, and wait for the reviews. Like most people, I loved the first three seasons or so. And like most people, I abandoned it when it became clear that the writers were just spinning their wheels. Carter did the same thing with Millennium, which in it's third season flatly contradicted a lot seasons one and two. What can I say? I don't trust his writing. In an age where shows like Lost and Battlestar Galactica show what mature thoughtful science fiction drama can achieve, X Files seems like a step back.
Guys, if you love X-files, check out SUPERNATURAL. by Shermdawg	Feb 24th, 2008 11:33:52 AM
Espececially season three. Torrent it, Tube it, or wait for the dvd. It's the best network sci-fi show next to Lost. And captures the spirit of Files perfectly.
Ashok0 by Shermdawg	Feb 24th, 2008 11:44:26 AM
There are references to the overall demon mythology from the first two seasons, but the flashbacks before each episode does well enough to get ya up to speed. Like X-files, the non-mythology installments are where it's at, and this season, that's been the majority. Hell, there was a episode a couple weeks back that had the old Groundhog Day premise that Star Trek ran in the ground, and they made it tolerable.

They could of asked better questions by Rufferto	Feb 24th, 2008 11:54:40 AM
Is it a given this is taking place in the past? If so, I hope Cancer man is in it. It doesn't have to be about aliens for him to be manipulating events ominously in the background. They sure finished this movie quick! I assume they did because of Gillian's hair. I can't believe Carter wants to do a movie about the alien colonization. This is gonna be crazy.
Quint, You remain right about the trailers by wilsonfisk89	Feb 24th, 2008 11:55:01 AM
There is a certain iconography that has to be respected and featured in trailers for properties like this, a sense of awe and wonder that modern trailers have often neglected. Honestly, true fans/geeks should be designing, or at least focus grouped, on the trailers. Rambo was another example, not too iconic, also most trailers these days give you too much of the film (lets not see Two-Face until we pay the money to see him on screen!)
The episode Feild Trip by Rufferto	Feb 24th, 2008 12:02:31 PM
I always wanted that scene where Mulder kidnapped a gray to be real. It would of been cool to have him communicate to one telepathically rather then those ugly bounty hunter aliens. It sucked he never really did so during the series even when he was abducted.
It's certainly better now than what it was. by Shermdawg	Feb 24th, 2008 12:03:23 PM
Instead of just tracking down a demon that killed their mother and wrecked their normal family life, Season three is focused on a choice Jensen Ackle's Dean made in the season two finale, one that makes you question where the show might be headed, but gives it more weight than previous years. It's mythology does not drag on like X-Files, and Lost, nor does it keep piling on more questions that may or may not be answered.
Trailers are becoming a forgotten art form... by alienindisguise	Feb 24th, 2008 12:03:57 PM
save for a couple. It's getting to be like alot of the poster "art" where it looks like it was tossed together in 10 seconds. XF2 trailer sounds like it's alright but yeah, the Indy trailer...blah
X-Files was Best Panel by PacingPete	Feb 24th, 2008 12:05:18 PM
These guys were so awesome, I was sitting next to someone who was just as stoked as I was, we kept looking at our watches during shutter saying please hurry up, I was so happy I got to ask my question. Btw, Gillian Anderson looks HOTTER then ever!
I asked my brother about this show once. by Garbage	Feb 24th, 2008 12:08:33 PM
During the first season, when I was a teenager, I came in and saw him watching it. I'm like, "What's going on? Why did that guy do that?" And he was all grumpy and said, "You had to have seen the first part." I thought he was just being a jerk (which he probably was), but after I saw a few episodes, I realized he was correct. The first full episode I saw was the first Eugene Victor Tooms one, alone in a large house. Scared the crap out of me, even more than Young Frankenstein did. As for the two actors, Anderson's wisely plugged away at non-mainstream roles, while Duchovny has done nothing. I'm guessing he thought Mulder would launch him into a thriving movie career, but he's forever Mulder. I'm guessing that he was eager to do this movie just to get himself back into the mainstream (his new show has gotten buzz, but it hasn't exactly set the world on fire). And I actually stopped watching the X-Files after about season three, so I guess I should shut up and stop pretending to be smart.
Can't wait for this! by reni	Feb 24th, 2008 12:09:06 PM
I'm more excited about X Files 2 than any other movie this year. The first film holds up so well. It's like Parallex View & All The President's Men with Aliens. Infact it's a shame they had to include the show mythology in the first film. I've got complete faith in Chris Carter and his team. Can't wait!
Speaking of trailers. by rbatty024	Feb 24th, 2008 12:09:13 PM
One of the best trailers ever is the one for the first Alien flick. Absolute classic. It gives a sense of the film without giving away the details.
Duchovny makes 'Californication' (obv) by wilsonfisk89	Feb 24th, 2008 12:11:29 PM
An otherwise self indulgent, hilarous mess of a show, is elevated to highly watchable by Duchovny's uninhibited performance. No, hes not a superstar, but hes a solid actor.
Duchovny is the coolest actor around by Evil Hobbit	Feb 24th, 2008 12:19:10 PM
His revival in Californication showed that as well. Can't wait for this!
The Creepy Thin Man obiviously doesn't watch it. by Shermdawg	Feb 24th, 2008 12:20:39 PM
Jensen Ackles has a fuckton of personality.
No you shouldn't stack it next to Lost and X-files. by Shermdawg	Feb 24th, 2008 12:26:38 PM
It won't reach that level of storytelling. Ever. But as fun genre show that harkens back to the selfcontained installments of Files, it scores. It's more Buffy, and Heroes than a Lost.
Frank Black by KoolerThanJesus	Feb 24th, 2008 12:33:16 PM
So any discussion at this thing about Lance Henricksen's (Frank Black) supposed appearance in this movie? No one did creepy and scary like Millennium when it was at its best.
BRING BACK X-FILES BUT ON F/X! by lynxpro	Feb 24th, 2008 12:50:14 PM
Seriously...how about bringing back X-Files for a 13 episode series for F/X? Then it can be grittier than when it was on Fox proper. Even if it were on basic cable like that, it would be far more successful than that JJ Abrams rip-off that is currently in development.
No to a new X-files series. Yes to Men in Black. by Shermdawg	Feb 24th, 2008 12:56:23 PM
Specifically Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebek from "Jose Chung's From Outer Space".
Vince Gilligan should've been attached to this by skimn	Feb 24th, 2008 01:21:14 PM
since he wrote some of the best stand alones. But, we still get Breaking Bad, which airs a new episode during the "last" hour of he Oscars tonight. Thats showing some balls AMC.
I want to believe that XF2 will be good! by Zardoz	Feb 24th, 2008 01:58:54 PM
This was a great panel and there was clearly a lot of love for everyone on the panel, especially Anderson and Duchovny. (duh!) They got not one, but two very long standing ovations by the audience. (something that no one else got during the day, that I saw) Yeah, I think Fox clearly knew what the audience was there for, so they changed the order of the original line-up, and put XF2 after Shutter. People were polite, and enthusiastic for Ando during that panel, but clearly everyone, myself included, were impatient for the REAL show to begin. (If the Shutter panel had gone on one minute longer, I sincerely think the audience would have rioted!) I love that everyone from XF came in directly from shooting the movie. Chris Carter claimed that he'd had "about 15 minutes of sleep in the last 24 hours." Everyone was just so cool, professional, funny and charming and it was a very special treat for the fans. Kudos and thanks to all involved! Now, please just make a good movie!

You are spot-on skinny dude, keep it up.
Fucking auto fill! Previous comment from another board... by Zardoz	Feb 24th, 2008 02:04:30 PM
What I was going to say, was that Supernatural uses classic 70's AOR, rock and roll for the soundtrack, NOT punk rock, as you erroneously stated, Ashoko. And I love Supernatural, BTW. Is it perfect? No. But it's a damn fine ride: funny, scary and the best genre show of it's ilk since the hey-day of The X-Files. (sorry, to be singling you out today Ashoko, but you are clearly mistaken about some of your suppositions about genre TV!)
The original Shutter sucked... by Tourist	Feb 24th, 2008 02:14:11 PM
...So a remake can only improve things. Or be worse, but that would be pretty hard if you put some minimal effort in. The X Files trailer didn't really feel like anything. Similar to Indie Jones. Just a bunch of shots from the movie. It's nice to see them again, but the trailer just feels like a reel. You don't really need to pimp properties like these.
This panel... by VinnyMac666	Feb 24th, 2008 02:41:22 PM
was incredibly cool. Definitely the highlight of my whole weekend. (I was the dude who asked about 2012. And yes... his answer was very cryptic.)
X Files 2 - Beating the dead horse by skywalkerfamily	Feb 24th, 2008 02:46:14 PM
Didn't the first one bomb?
Bringing back the X-Files is less ridiculous than... by rbatty024	Feb 24th, 2008 02:59:25 PM
Rocky, Rambo, Die Hard, Indiana Jones and such. I'm not knocking those movie, I'm just saying that it's been ten years since the last movie and six years since the TV Show ended. I think it's a nice moment in time to bring back the franchise. Not too long where people really don't care and not too soon so that the bad taste of the last season still lingers. Oh, and the first movie made almost $190 million worldwide. Not too shabby.
Really 190 million worldwide? by skywalkerfamily	Feb 24th, 2008 03:00:40 PM
I bet it made like 10 bucks in the U.S.
Ashoko: Supernatural is definitely worth your time! by Zardoz	Feb 24th, 2008 03:13:56 PM
Seriously, check it out. It's not a perfect show, but it's very fun and fairly scary, with good SFX and a very good mythology arc. Sure, some of the "monster-of-the-week" plots are "borrowed" from other genre movies and TV shows, and you can usually figure out where they're going, plot-wise, but it's very enjoyable. (lots of pop-cult, post-mod humor) And the mythology stuff doesn't string you along: you get answers, pay-off and resolution, unlike, say, The X-Files. (And they have a hot and sexy "girl-of-the-week" in every episode!) I really like the classic, AOR rock and roll songs. They must be paying a small fortune for the songs performed by the actual artists, instead of using some cheesy, cover-band rip-offs. Season 2 is where it really starts to gel, and Season 3 has been pretty kick-ass, so far!
when in the timeline is this supposed to take place? by livahd	Feb 24th, 2008 03:18:17 PM
are they gonna be running around with a baby, or is this gonna be like a lost episode from 98?
I really liked The X-Files on TV... by Zardoz	Feb 24th, 2008 03:24:42 PM
but I got so frustrated with the mythology stuff, and I stopped watching after Duchovny left the show. The first movie was totally lame, and completely superfluous to the rest of the mythology. Seriously, NOTHING was added to the main plot of the show. You don't even have to watch the movie at all, just the TV show, and you would not have missed ANY vital plot info. The movie production was too rushed, (Carter admits as much during the Wondercon panel) squeezed haphazardly in between two seasons of the TV show. And I, like many people who watched the movie, have one burning question: just how the hell DID M&S get off of Antarctica? So, let's hope XF2 is a really great "monster-of-the-week" X-Files movie, one that completely ignores any lingering residue of the mythology from the TV show. Been there, done that, already!
Ashoko, I agree, re: XF S7-9... by Zardoz	Feb 24th, 2008 03:28:42 PM
and that's where I started tuning out for good...
Yeah, Ashoko, Supernatural is definitely worth your time by Batou	Feb 24th, 2008 03:37:47 PM
John Shiban is a writer and Producer in it. When I first was it, it reminded me of XFiles Monster of the Week style. And that Tall Tales episode reminded me so much of Bad Blood. It is a very good series.

Ohhhh convention nerds, gotta love em
Antarctica... by Zardoz	Feb 24th, 2008 04:06:42 PM
Ha! Sounds funny. No, I missed those eps, I guess. After the movie came out I really only watched one more season, and then the absolute "final" episode, where CSM "dies" in a fiery explosion. ("dies" is in quotes because, as Chris Carter said at the Wondercon panel, "no one really dies in The X-Files.")
Poor show on not giving Shutter more credit... by drwilliamweir	Feb 24th, 2008 04:08:12 PM
... I've heard on very good word that it's actually an excellent film. The X Files has enough hype behind it, don't let things of worth slip through the net, AICN!
I am SO FUCKING excited about this movie!! by shatterglass	Feb 24th, 2008 04:08:25 PM
I never really watched the show when it was on cause I was young and it scared the bejeebus out of me, but my wife was a HUGE HUGE fan so she got me watching it and now it's my favorite show of all time. Needless to say, after Dark Knight this is my most anticipated movie of the year, hands down. SO FUCKING EXCITED!
Gonna be a good summer by Jack Burton	Feb 24th, 2008 04:30:35 PM
X-Files 2, Indy, Dark Knight, Ironman, Wall-E, lots of potential for greatness. I'm definitely looking more forward to this summer's lineup than last year's. The X-Files 2 will open big. The show has had several years to pull in new fans with the DVDs and despite the last couple of seasons, it IS one of the best sci-fi shows ever aired. The fans will come back and if they market it as a straight thriller without the mythology baggage they will get new viewers too.

YES SUPERNATURAL DOES KICK ASS by Charlie Murphy	Feb 24th, 2008 06:03:54 PM
one of the most underrated shows on television... sure it airs on the CW, where everyone's a little too good looking and whose audience tends to lean towards fourteen year old girls, but creator Eric Kripke has crafted a fucking gem that no one knows exists. the first five or six season 1 episodes are entertaining but pretty basic, but the show kicks into high fuckin gear at episode 8 (Home) and never looks back. it airs after shit-fest smallville (a show i used to enjoy but now is an honest to god chore) and if you pick up the first two seasons on dvd, i guaran-fucking-tee you'll love it. shit, if i knew you personally i'd probably reimberse you if you didn't like it. that's how much i back that show. it's a shame Herc over in the tv section gave up on it so soon, because it would be right up the alley of most folks that frequent here. please, check it out from the start, give it ten episodes.it really is like watching the x-files in its prime, with its own mythology. jensen ackles is fantastic and jeff morgan, who plays the boys pops, kicks unholy ass. jim beaver is a recurring character, you may remember him as Mr. Ellsworth on Deadwood... the writing is ridiculously sharp, check out the usual suspects in season 2 guest starring linda blair, or the episode where the guys are locked in a bank with a shape shifter or, shit, the last two new episodes were fucking awesome. please, for anyone still reading this talkback, do this show a solid and check it out. thanks

FREAKYLINKS!!! by spud mcspud	Feb 24th, 2008 06:22:40 PM
Charlie Murphy - With you on SUPERNATURAL, that show surprised me in season 1 with how well made it was, and the backstory gets better and more complex by the season. God knows how Season 3 is going to play out, but damn if it isn't some great X-FILES-alike shit! And count those X-FILES alumni getting in on the SUPERNATURAL production staff... Great, great show. But does anyone remember FREAKYLINKS? That show had some mad X-FILES vibes to it, but was also irreverent and funny as hell, and Ethan Embry was, frankly, fucking fantastic in it. And Lisa Sheridan, who should've been the next Gillian Anderson / the first Evangeline Lilly! Fucking goooooooorgeous! FREAKYLINKS was a tight, thoughtful, well-written, witty, engaging, kick-ass little show that, if it's not at least revived from the dead (which it won't be, as we live in a world where fucking GLOBAL FREQUENCY wasn't even picked up, after that fucking PERFECT pilot, so FUCK YOU WB!!!) SHOULD AT LEAST BE AVAILABLE ON FUCKING DVD!!! GET IT IN GEAR, STUDIO FUCKERS!!!

if they're giving me a good end for X-Files2, i might be up to it. So: gimme an Ending that doesn't say: All that happened in the Series before wasn't a big useless shit, like the First Movie did(Luckily, i've never gone to Cinema for that, but i watched it on TV, but got really pissed about that Ending, rendering the whole Series totally useless)

Not only does it have an X-Files vibe to it, but also a Kolchak one too. They even paid tribute to it when they had to battle the Indian monster, although it wasn't as scary of a monster as it was back on Kolchak.
I still want a Millennium movie... by Sledge Hammer	Feb 25th, 2008 12:35:32 AM
Yeah, I know, never gonna happen, but still a Frank Black film to tie off the character and series would have been pretty sweet. Then again, how many of us thought this was never gonna happen, so you never know I guess... Oh, and yeah, Gillian does look good...
Cerulean Blue (a thesis) by rodcone	Feb 25th, 2008 01:20:53 AM
My friends gave me the collector's edition for Christmas, and I'm just now about halfway through season 8, which has its flaws, but is still better than most of the crap on tv today (lost and bsg notwithstanding). Most people want to blame the degradation of the show on Duchovny leaving, or that the show had just worn itself out. But after watching hour upon hour, I have a different theory. Near the end of season 6, Carter and Co. made an excellent episode called Monday, which was kind of like the x-files mashed up with groundhog's day. Great episode. I remember watching the teaser stoned in college, mouth agape at having witnessed Mulder and Scully's apparent demise by explosion. But they did something on that episode which they had never done before, which is put our favorite agents into an incident that had nothing to do with an x-file. And here's where they screwed the pooch, because after this ep, Carter and Assoc. started using this formula more and more, to the point where Mulder and Scully (and Scully and Doggett) weren't actually involved in the episode, they would just constantly be 2 steps behind the action, commenting on it like a goddamned Greek chorus. The reason the best episodes scared and intrigued us so well was because the action that took place actually happened to our heroes, who we cared about, and not the stupid fucking snake handlers, or the high school kids who could run fast, or Chuck who came to fuck and his brother with the x-ray eyes. Here's hoping that they have not fallen into the same trap with the new movie. That being said, I've already jerked it twice, just to the idea of the movie coming out. Thanks for your time and patience, those of you who made it this far...
I guess I'm not people then by CrusherJen	Feb 25th, 2008 03:44:13 AM
I used to be madly in love w/XF back in the day. In the early years, it was one of the most imaginative shows on the air. But the crapfest that was season 9 pretty much killed it for me. Barely coherent finale, Scully going from strong character to pining for Mulder and crying almost every episode, and the "deaths" of the Lone Gunmen (a real smack to all the fans who campaigned for year 2 of the spinoff and downright MEAN to boot) just left me cold. --I don't think Duchovny leaving hurt the show that much. I found Robert Patrick to be a great actor and he did the best he could as Doggett. I would have loved to find out more about his character and his take on the Files, the Truth, etc. The problem was, the writers weren't sure what to do without Mulder. If they had concentrated more on the X-Files themselves and the new characters, not getting bogged down with syrupy 'shipper nonsense and New-Conspiracy-Lite, I think year 9 would have been much better... and just maybe I'd actually be looking forward to this movie, instead of yawning. As it is, unless the Gunmen are back alive and well, I'm not remotely interested in another movie. And yeah, gotta have Skinner in it too. If my views make me a non-person hater... :shrugs: so be it. Oh, EvilGeek1? The Bermuda Triangle ep was actually named "Triangle." (Not bad for someone who hasn't watched since the finale, huh? Oh yeah, I'm a geek. But I enjoy it.)

I wouldn't say Supernatural isn't perfect by David Cloverfield	Feb 25th, 2008 08:14:57 AM
It really is. For me it flat out kills every other show right now. This years arc is awesome. I still watch it with my former roommate and lots of beers. It's a hoot. I even like that it's not super popular, this way they can do whatever the fuck they want with the characters. And they usually do. (see Season 2 supporting cast)
Joss Whedon... by Willowy	Feb 25th, 2008 08:35:43 AM
... isn't sitting on his ass. If you kept up with him at all you'd know that he's working hard on Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku, as well as Buffy Season 8 comics, which incidentally, rock harder with each issue. And Buffy ain't no "teeny-bopper" show. Get past the title, idjit.
Loved the X Files... by Bono Luthor	Feb 25th, 2008 08:59:28 AM
and am really looking forward to this. I was totally in love with Scully back then. I saw GA in a play in London a few years back and she is indeed very attractive. However, given her track record I think she would eat up most geeks and spit them out before they knew what had happened to them. She seems to be pretty fickle and unstable where men are concerned. I think she's a long way short of Scully. It looks to me like Chris Carter is banking on this being the first of several movies. Which makes sense, because it's not like he's really done much else.
Never seen Anderson in anything . . . by Nice Marmot	Feb 25th, 2008 09:25:26 AM
. . . other than X-Files, so I won't doubt her troubles getting back into character. But for DD to suggest he might have had the same problem is the funniest thought ever. All he's ever played, in anything, is Mulder. I love the guy though. For X-Files and his impersonation of Jeff Goldbloom on SNL. If you haven't seen that skit, you gotta find it. One of those celebrity jeopardy skits.

Californication is great show by TheLastCleric	Feb 25th, 2008 10:27:26 AM
I’m surprised more people haven’t watched the show. It’s interesting, funny, well-written and Duchovny is hilarious as a brilliant but lazy writer making his way through the labyrinthine minutia of the publishing and filmmaking industries.

SO ECSTATIC!!!! by Toulon	Feb 25th, 2008 11:37:00 AM
I was DEFINITELY a huge X-Files nerd back in the day . . . even went to a convention out in here in California that was held in an old military airplane hangar . . . had Mr. X and Mitch and everyone, absolutely fantastic. I'm really curious to know where we're picking up from . . . are Mulder and Scully together? Where's the kid? Did they get divorced and are forced to team up again (which actually could make for some GREAT dynamics, and be true to the characters)? Or are we just gonna pick up from somewhere in S7? I'm in all the way no matter what, but it'd be great if they DID bring a lot of people back . . . absolutely CSM and Krycheck, but also the Lone Gunmen if they can make it work, and of COURSE Skinner will be there. This is EASILY my most-anticipated flick for the year!! I CAN'T WAIT!!
Setting it record straight by kiracrave	Feb 25th, 2008 12:28:07 PM
I may not be as excited as the rest of you about the movie, but I thought I should be fair to all the ladies out there. David Duchovney looks damn good and always has. So even though it will take about 300 more posts to even it out, I thought I should make the guys on the board feel a little bit inadequate for good measure. That is all.

Another vote for Goddess Gillian and other subjects by oisin5199	Feb 25th, 2008 02:31:21 PM
For anyone to look that good after flying from an all night shoot. I mean most actresses need tons of makeup and stylists to appear in public. But you can't fake that natural beauty. I do remember Freakylinks, was into it and sad to see it go. There was actually a Supernatural episode that reminded me of that show, with some 'ghostbusters' and an urban legend monster made 'real' because of hits on a website. I enjoy Supernatural now and it's definitely the only thing on tv close to being an X-Files heir (Miracles would have been a good candidate, had it lasted). But things were pretty sketchy for Supernatural's first season or so, with some really weak writing. It did improve significantly and it's one of my favorites right now. It certainly hearkens back to a time when a network would let a shaky show with a good concept stick around so it can develop and become awesome over time. Just like X-Files, Buffy and Angel. Nowadays, most shows don't get that chance. Cough..Journeyman...Ahem.

Another vote for Supernatural here... by Fist Dirtbox	Feb 25th, 2008 06:07:25 PM
First season is kinda "X-files"-lite, but it picks up pretty well after the midway point. Season 2 was a big step up, and the sadly truncated (due to the writers strike) third season has been flat out excellent. It really is the natural heir to the X-Files and Millennium. Although its tone is (generally) lighter, the unfolding "big" story-arc is as dark and heavy as in the Carter shows, and best of all actually develops... Its not just a cock-tease, where every week you are promised answers but only get more questions and layers of obfuscation.

Isn't Supernatural rumored to be cancelled? by lynxpro	Feb 25th, 2008 07:39:06 PM
I checked out the CW's official MySpace page, and there were fan forums with people calling for a boycott over the CW due to an as-of-yet-to-be-announced cancelation of Supernatural...
CW would have to be insane to cancel SUPERNATURAL now. by Shermdawg	Feb 25th, 2008 08:20:56 PM
Without Smackdown, and the future of Smallvile in question with UNSOCIABLE HAMMER's departure, it'd be pretty stupid to axe it.
Here's a bit of good news (from Wiki though)... by Shermdawg	Feb 25th, 2008 08:33:17 PM
"On February 21, 2008, a 2-hour full night event of the series, averaged 2.90 million viewers from 8-10 pm. The fresh episode aired at 9pm, scored 3.23 million viewers; Supernatural rose to its second largest audience of the season, and best among adults 18-34 (1.4/4 rating), women 18-34 (1.4/4) and men 18-34 (1.5/4). It was the third most watched show overall, and the most-watched scripted drama show on The CW that week. "

Please please please dont be stupid douches when the leaks are revealed about who is and isn't in this movie. I know you guys like to play stupid douchebags in your update titles, but just dont blow this movie for people. There are some seriously surprising cameos in this one (from what I'm hearing), and so help me god if you pull one of those stupid 'too clever for its own good' update titles that spoils them, I will set the armies of Anonymous all over this domain.
@ KoolerthanJesus by ArcadianDS	Feb 26th, 2008 09:39:01 AM
If Frank Black _IS_ in the movie, you wont even have to read the update. Somebody at this site will write "A Black Day for X-Files 2" as a title, and then in a fit of irony, will attach a spoiler tag to the article. stupid douches.

addictive by mad_taffer	Feb 26th, 2008 05:13:57 PM
That's how I like to describe the X-Files. Never in my life had I actually been anticipating a week by week show, but the XF had some of the most intense cliffhangers. Also, remember that the show was saved by the net audience and didn't really get "popular" until it's move to Sunday night. I also would like to think that it made the studios look at sci-fi as marketable again. Everyone always talks about the best eps being Tooms or Humbug or Small Potatoes, but even episodes like Pusher (a classic for sure and probably one of the most shocking endings)endure after all these years. Anyone remember the ep in either season 5 or 6 with the photographer that took pictures of people that would die (it was Scully-centric).
and while i'm at it... by mad_taffer	Feb 26th, 2008 05:16:45 PM
Aubrey, one of the most chilling episodes of the XF ever...including Home. It was storming when I watched that ep and it gave me absolute chills, very creepy.
Mulder and Scully's son? by Seth Gecko	Feb 26th, 2008 11:01:05 PM
Not one person asked about Mulder and Scully's son. The little man has got to have some involvement in the sequel surely. For years Carter told us Mulder and Scully would never get cosy. This will have an ending which will have fans begging for more. Carter has spent six years thinking this up.
