Actually that's a good thought even without the sinister interpretation!

I thought I lost the thread because I never saw the movie, come to think of it, I have never seen it on TV either.

The funny thing is that I avoided this series when so many years ago was airing while my kids were watching so enthusiastically, and now it's me watching and sometimes I can see why I didn't watch in the past. Some nonsense is still too much for me but I don't deny that it has been entertaining so far. However, I don't like to see the two actors aged and not having the same chemistry of years ago.

I don't think Scully has aged much, but Mulder is definitely showing his age - or rather he looks like the 55 year old he is whereas most of Hollywood have been nipped, tucked, filled or botoxed by that age. I still think they have chemistry, but it's more natural to where it should be, they love each other but know what they can't have in their lives. Or rather Scully does. But maybe that's all my projection.

I love seeing the actors and characters together again looking like normal human beings do as they get older. Very entertaining episode, showed the heart of the show. Can't wait for next week.

So far I watched 2 episodes and I'll tape the next one. But scrolling the tv guide I discovered that the 2008 movie of the X-Files is going to be aired but on a French channel here in Canada, yep! I do watch that one too... not just the Italian, and so I programmed to record and see how both actors were in 2008, but that was so long ago.
Anyway, we'll keep watching... the truth is out there!

My favorite episode from the original series was the one with Michael Emerson - "Sunshine Days" where all he wanted was to be a part of the Brady Bunch family. It was sad and sweet and kind of tragic.

I think Scully was botoxed to the max of no expression in her face. It did put me out of the moment staring at her unmoving forehead.

I saw an interview with her recently and she said her hair on X-Files is a wig, and she likes it because it pulls your skin back a bit and makes you smoother!

My favorite episode from the original series was the one where the family who had been inbreeding since the Civil War kept their mother under the bed.

Lexie, that was one my faves, too. It's called "Home".

It's the Tooms episodes that creeped me out the most, where he could fit through small holes and come out of your air vents. I doesn't help that the actor himself is so creepy looking.

Yes, Squeeze and Tooms were two of the most memorable. Just SO creepy! And Home was just out of this world gross. It's amazing to me it even aired back then!
That first season was SO good. Am so glad to have Mulder and Scully back, even if just for a short while.
And yes, I too see Hank Moody when I'm watching the show. Hard to separate him from that character now.

Wow, just watched the first hour, I am not normally paranoid but they sure did suck me in for that hour.
It's going to be a great series.

As soon as I heard the name "William", I figured epi 2 would bore me & it did. But I'm really looking forward to the next show. "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster"?! The title even sounds like an Abbott & Costello monster flick.
"Squeeze" & "Tooms" were great but my favorites always were the more offbeat, often humorous, episodes. "Bad Blood" as has been mentioned, also "The Host" (also mentioned) sorta fits in that style too. "Small Potatoes", "Jose Chung", "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man", and "Post-Modern Prometheus" too (although that last one is pretty disturbing if you think about it). I hope I got the epi titles correct. Of the really scary ones I think "Eve" & "Beyond the Sea" were especially good.
In the same way, I liked The Lone Gunmen spin-off but didn't care for Millennium.

Last night's epi was a true classic. Bit of a weak start but then, man, did it come together brilliantly. Not sure how well it played for newcomers to the series but for longtime fans, it was so clever...charming, even. Hilarious (in a "have to laugh or you'll cry" way) observations on human nature. Mulder's midlife crisis, Scully & the doggie, the Monster's little leap skip...I clapped at the end.

Calamity - I agree, it was an awesome episode. Loved Mulder's smile at the end.
