Watched bits a pieces as teenager but never really got into it.
Enjoyed the series for the most part. I favored the mythology episodes over the monster of the week episodes. I enjoyed the conspiracy. The show as a whole ranks somewhere below B5, BSG, SG1, DS9 for me as far as scifi tv series.
Seasons 8 and 9 were kind of hard to get through. Scully seemed forced to be the believer w/ Doggett the skeptic. I think the series ran one season too long. It was also somewhat annoying that people who obviously died actually had not such as the the smoking man, spender, etc.
Will watch the 2nd movie soon. Not a series I could not marathon again, but definitely one of the series I could watch random episodes of if they happened to be on TV.
Deciding on rewatching B5, The Wire or marathoning TNG, which I have never watched straight through.

Sorry Fox. Fwiw, Fox Mulder is my favorite series lead actor ever.

MoW > Mythology
And the x files is the greatest sci fi show ever with the original run of futurama right behind it

Yea I power-watched the episodes with the season arch back in 2011 when I first got netflix. Had to start skipping over the stand alone episodes after season 3 or 4.
Can't remember if I made it through the last season or not but I really enjoyed through season 8 or whichever the last season with Mulder was.

you skipped over the best episodes. Your loss. If you just want serialized television, the x files isn't for you. Go watch lost, but the "monster of the week" episodes represent the best television ever produced. You never should have bothered watching if you skipped those episodes, and they became particularly outstanding in season 3.

But they were all essentially the same.
When I watched the show on TV I could watch the monster of the week episodes but binge watching them on Netflix got frustrating.
Even the Barenaked Ladies were smart enough to hope that the Smoking Man was in the episodes they watched. And their brains birthed the song "One Week"

They were not, and I encourage you to go back because there is a lot of creativity and imagination in those episodes.

The problem with not watching the MOW episodes is that some of the overall mythology or story of the series comes from them. I didn't skip MOW and just watch mythology shows because I picked that up pretty quick and I did enjoy most of the MOW shows. I think my favorite MOW episodes were the comedic ones.

FRINGE is better. (Uh-oh, now I've done it!)
Posted on 8/11/13 at 12:34 pm to LSUlefty
Fringe is terrible. There I said it. Season two is pretty good, the rest is so so bad. I have season 5 on netflix and it has taken me two times to watch the first episode.

My favorite X Files, and I certainly haven't watched very one, was a monster of the week episode that involved a mutant family living out on a farm.....There was also a mutant amputee living under the bed It was great stuff.
It was great stuff.

just wonder, did the second movie have a definitive "end" to the series?

The Peacocks. They were inbreds. I think it was banned from TV for a while.

I tried Fringe and enjoyed it but never got hooked. XF was just a cool style with the Mark Snow creepy music, alien outlaws and the shark they never jumped with Fox & Dana. It was also a farm for young guest actors, Ribisi will always be lightning boy to me. Cranston also had a great dramatic episode.
Posted on 8/11/13 at 7:42 pm to Backinthe615
Yeah the number of soon to be famous actors was pretty crazy. Jack black was in the same episode as ribisi.

That was a good one. I liked how they drove off in the convertible listening to some oldies.
Probably my favorite episode was the one with all the circus freaks that lived in the same town.
