About to start the X-files

One of my favorites. The episode about The Peacocks legit fricked me up.

Remember seeing episodes as a kid with my parents. Always thought I'd go back to check it out for real to see if it was legit later in life. Seemed like it had a good story but I was a rugrat.

I liked it when it originally aired. Tried to watch it the other day and couldn't get through the pilot.

Hard to judge a series on the first season let alone the pilot.

I hear it's ok

Individual stand alone episodes were the best, I thought the most boring were the story arc, or mythology episodes.

It's a great show. It still holds up fine. But Maulder and scully can get pretty old when they are rehashing the same argument for 3-4 seasons, even after all the stuff they've seen. "There are aliens." "There aren't aliens." Bla Bla Bla.

Also, when I was rewatching it, I was disapointed to find that most episodes go back to aliens in some way, whether that be technology, or the aliens themselves, or whatever. I wish the world was a little bit more diverse.

I remember as a kid being enthralled with the mythology and story arc episodes. I was always looking forward to the mystery being uncovered.

"Rush" did that to me, and I really don't know why. I don't normally get creeped out but something about that episode really made me think

If you like this kind of television show then you are n for a treat. X-Files is a fantastic show. It is my personal favorite show ever and very well regarded all around. Its production values were the very top for its time (although that will seem less impressive in this day and age).

IMO seasons 3-5 are the very best TV has to offer. 1 and 2 are very good. The show lost some steam in the last few seasons, but wasn't a total train wreck as some people say.

When I watched it the first time I always looked forward to the mythology episodes, but now some of the MOTW (Monster Of The Week) eps are my favorite.

Enjoy! And feel free to start threads on any particular eps (or maybe seasons to keep from cluttering the board) that you enjoy. I've seen them all, and most of them multiple times.
