The only reason to watch X-Files…….Can’t wait to see XFiles2!

“hawt” I’ll concede but it still annoys me…

Took about one millisecond to notice the Leoben there.

I wonder how distracting that will be.

Very.

I hate it when I’m watching a movie and an actor who I know from something else shows up and all I can think about is what they were in before.

That is extremely irritating. I also hate that it’s almost guaranteed that if I watch two or more recent movies at least one of the main actors appears in more than one movie.

I was a die hard X-Files viewer when the series was on, and can’t wait to see this one!

“teh” is internet slang for “the”. There’s a good article on it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh

“teh hawt” is common internet slang translating directly as “the hot”, but meaning simply “super hot”.

This is what worries me; just how many WILL take the notion in X-Files as non-fiction?

Of course, perhaps the most that’ll happen is Gillian Anderson will have hoards of new fanboys (and as can be seen here, maybe some fangirls) to fight off.

You realise that “Black oil” and “the syndicate” and humanoid tapeworms…and..and…

yeh.

A larger question is why I keep seeing the characters t-e-h in the BA’s posts.

It was Rennie’s appearance in BG that, ironically, was the distraction. I took one look at him and shouted, “Hey, the new Ray Vecchio is a cylon!”

Andrew said: “I hate it when I’m watching a movie and an actor who I know from something else shows up and all I can think about is what they were in before.”

Then Canadian television would make your head explode. It’s the same 20 actors. We get used to it:).

As for the anti-x-files folks, I honestly can’t remember an episode that concluded with some bold statement about Mulder being right about aliens and paranormal activity. Almost everything ended up being explanable in some way (not always Scully’s way, mind you).

But then again, my favourite episodes were the stand-alone ones without the gov’t conspiracy and alien abduction sub-plots. Like the circus freak episode. So good! And the one with the guy with the tail (okay, I’m bad at episode names). So what if the tail-guy could also shape-shift his appearance? It was so entertaining!! And never once tried to convince you that shape-shifting dudes sporting tails were living amongst us by the hundreds. What a great show

Or so shows like X-Files, Supernatural etc teach me. Haha, stupid scientists. Don’t they know that if you put a gold wire in front of a microphone you can record ghosts? If you use infra-red you can see them, and you can measure the local EM…blah blah. I think you get the point.
Not that I think X-Files should be discontinued or anything. Just that as a crusader against bad science and false skepticism, I would’ve thought you’d understand the effects of shows like X-Files and CSI on the general population? When I was 12, X-files was all the rage and I couldn’t convince my peers that cold fusion etc didnt exist and hadnt been invented (Xfiles fans tended to end up subscribed to magazines and stuff that only makes the hole deeper). X-Files is to young minds as Expelled! is to older ones. It creates the gaps.

BUt yeh, Scully is hot.

I’ll try to avoid any spoliers until I see the movie but it won’t be easy.

And Gillian Anderson is hot!

Do you also complain about the old Warner Brothers cartoons, where Wile E. Coyote runs off the end of a cliff, and doesn’t fall until he looks down and realizes the ground isn’t there any more?

Frohike flirts with Scully.

The series made it clear that it always fell on the side of the
supernatural, superstition, mythology, monsters, ghouls,
bug-eyed alients, etc. Scully’s rational explanations were
always trounced by the “hero”, Fox Mulder, whose seemingly
crazy explanations always turned out to be the right ones,
at least in the X-Files Universe.

So I am not stopping you or anyone else from going ga-ga
over Scully, but this endorsement of a series that rested solidly
on the side of fantasy and horror is a bit concerning.
