|
 |
So i decided to finally watch the entire X-files after all these years. I think they showed every single episode in Sweden right from the start in 1993. But i was only 8 back then, and throughout the 90's i missed most of it. I saw a few episodes here and there and then all the kids would talk about how scary it was the next day at school. Man those were the fucking days. So anyway, is it worth watching the whole thing? I've watched the first 5 episodes, and they're not nearly as good as the ones i remember from the mid 90's.
Is it just the first season that's a bit lame? Does it pick up after a while? Because as i remember it, this show was fucking bad ass, but the episodes i've seen so far have been pretty tame. Or do i just remember it as being better than it was because i was a kid and everything with aliens and horror and stuff is cool by default when you're a kid?

Grabbed every episode in a monster 70gb package a while ago, halfway through season 1 right now - I was also a big fan of the show growing up, but like you I missed quite a bit. So far I don't regret getting back into it, some episodes are significantly better than others of course but overall I enjoy it far more than most modern shows.

I loved the X-Files though I never did understand how Mulder was deathly afraid of fire in one episode and in others he just doesn't give a damn.

answer: the show is not perfect . anyway, i also think X-files was cool just because we were kids and we loved all that stuff about aliens

necro!!! The show is fucking awesome and im almost half way through season 6. I really like the occasional weird/funny episodes, but they wouldnt probably be as effective if the whole show was like that. The evolution of Mulder's and Scully's relationship is also very fun to watch. Gonna feel empty inside once Im done with it :'(. Luckily ive got californication gonig for me to get my duchovny fix and still havent seen twin peaks yet

Ive seen the last one, but not yet the first, which is shouldve watched since it follows the main arc.

If you get the entire series, just find the most up to date list of plot-related episodes and just watch those. Usually 6-7 in the early seasons, and more later.
Also, in the early seasons, the filler episodes were interesting. Later it became quite a shit series tbh, but early on it is watchable. So I'd say watch 2-3 seasons fully, then pick and choose.
The.X-Files.Complete.DVDRip.DD2.0.x264-MMI is the best release. It is out there.

I just went to tv.com and looked at the ep ratings. If an ep got a score below 8 I watch the first ten minutes and skip it if it doesn't catch my attention.
It's a strange show, but easily one of the best mystery shows ever made.
