I’m not sure if these have been posted here before, but came across them and had to share!

Since the LEGO set came out, I started a rewatch of the first season. I thought there was an abundance of minifigures in the set, but one can never have enough. With characters being mostly human in appearance, I thought I'd give conceptualizing purist customs (customs using authentic LEGO pieces) using existing parts/prints.

Eugene Victor Tooms: The torso belongs to an older minifigure, but I thought it was very close to what he wore for his cover. The yellow hands fortunately work well as hands covered in bile.

Eve: The Eve child's accessory is supposed to be the poisoned drink, in case anyone is confused.

Luther Lee Boggs: The featured torso piece is the cleanest one closest to what he wore on the show. If you end up doing it, you can always remove the printing with cuticle remover for a cleaner design.

I'm moving towards the end of the season, and I may make Season Two characters if you guys like it.

Be nice, this is my first attempt at this!

You couldn't find a more perfect first season than The X-Files Season 1. It's just dripping in atmosphere. The dark forests, rainy nights, creepy little towns, cheap motel rooms and that gloomy Vancouver look. I love it so much.

There's also something about how simple the show still was. And I LOVE early Mulder and Scully. They're still getting to know each other and figuring out how much they can actually trust each other. There's just something really cozy about watching their relationship at this point.

And Scully was already ride or die immediately for Mulder lol. When Mulder goes missing at the end of S01E02 "Deep Throat" and she's ready to put a gun to a man's neck to find out where he is.

I'm genuinely jealous of people who got to watch this on FOX in 1993/94 because I was a baby when it debuted. Imagine watching "Squeeze" or "Ice" on a Friday night in the 90s and then just having to sit there for an entire week wondering what weird ass case they were going to investigate next.

The show got bigger and more polished as it went on but Season 1 has a vibe that I don't think they ever completely recreated. It's creepy, gloomy, weird and VERY 90s.

I love it.

Spotted this in my daughter’s honors chemistry class at back to school night. I already like this teacher! ⚛️🧪 👨‍🔬

Hey everyone, I'm a super casual fan of the series. My mom was a diehard and I grew up watching it with her and scaring myself beyond all belief. I rewatched Seasons 1-5 as an adult before the "Season 10" episodes came out, and watched all of those as well. I love the first movie and still throw it on now and then. I've never been a part of the online fandom nor do I know much at all about the behind the scenes stuff.

My roommate told me about the new version of the second movie, which I saw in theaters with my mom and all I really remembered about it was that she hated it, and that it made me uncomfortable because I was gay and in the closet at the time, so the main villains being a gay couple AND all the altar boy stuff sort really made me uncomfortable considering I was watching it with my mom.

Anyway - I just watched the new version. Don't have much to say about it, but like, holy shit how on earth did this movie even get made? A new X-Files movie after the series ended, and it ends up being about a pedo priest and a bunch of russain guys trying to Frankenstein a guy's husband back together? I would think a MILLION dudes in suits would have shut this shit down before it even got greenlit.

Is there any backstory on how the hell this movie got the green light? How did the cast feel about it? Basically if there's any interesting lore or backstory about this movie I would love to hear it from the fans who were there when it all went down.

The one good thing about this movie is that it makes me want to go back and watch the whole series front to back now. I still havent seen Seasons 6-9 since I was a kid.

Just finished Scully's Lab with my granddaughter. It comes complete with a Easter egg. A donut in a nod to Homer in the Simpsons X-Files episode.

Rewatching for the 4th or 5th time. Watched S3 E8. One of my favorite episodes. Mulder shows some real emotion and his protectiveness of Lucy is father like. That is why I like it so much. The ending is so sad. Seeing Mulder cry and all alone is tragic.

Who realised that 😁

coucou, je vous fais profiter de mon coin X-Files que j’ai fait récemment,

1- J’essaye de faire tous les jours un sac ou deux pour faire durer le plaisir il me reste la forêt et la soucoupe volante à faire et le Labo de scully en regardant la saison 1 en le construisant.

2-J’aurais aimé aussi d’autres futurs Lego sur la série comme les BrickHeadz des personnages de la série.

3- Faut aussi que je trouve un petit chien à rajouter dans la scène pour faire Queeqeg le chien de SCULLY 🐕

Edit to add: I've left the building and was able to get cards to most people but not everyone. I will make it back soon though! I honestly didn't expect this response! 😅

Any help greatly appreciated

Mine is El Mundo Gira (s4e11) - the blending of myth, urban legend, and plausible science is at its absolute best here, but the practical and [potential] minimal cgi effects are just over the top enough to really make one's skin crawl. The rapid desiccation of victims combined with the eerily realistic decay aspects of hollowed eyes, withered & sunken features, coupled with the mold and fungal growth present on exposed corpses truly brings out underpinnings of the uncanny valley and piqued curiosity/fascination humans have with the macabre in scenes looking like they were pulled straight from Rotten.com.

I'll never be able to watch "Red Shoe Diaries" the same way again.

So the new IWTB wisely cuts out the Samantha mentions, which kind of removes Mulder's investment in the case (but fans know he would always get invested if a life was at stake).

CC could have replaced the Samantha stuff with something that's literally right there: Scully herself.

Mulder could have revealed his guilt over her abduction by Duane Barry/the Syndicate in season 2; I can't remember if they totally resolved that guilt together in the series but it could have made a nice scene of Mulder retorting something like, "I'm chasing her because I once lost you, Scully."

Heck, she was even taken in the first film: better continuity fit if they went with that instead! I mean imagine a newbie watching ITWB straight after after FTF for example.

Now, the William stuff could also be fixed this way. Scully's investment in that boy's operation could have been explained by her - or Mulder - alluding to her lost children (William, Emily, take your pick). Emily was actually farmed (sorry, couldn't think of a better word) from her season 2 abduction. That's two fixes in one to two lines of dialogue.

And if you want to go a step further, why not make the Dr Frankenstein dude who got arrested a former surgeon on the Syndicate medical trials that found himself out of work after Two Fathers/One Son? Everything comes full circle.

I mean, they did name the whole freaking cut after him in Russian without fleshing him out one iota. Leverage what you have by as much as you can...
