Scott Barolo: watching The X-Files for the very first time. I love how the leads are two very distinct and different flavors of nerds

watching The X-Files for the very first time. I love how the leads are two very distinct and different flavors of nerds

Scully just said “this is insane!” for what I imagine is the first of many times

Mulder and Scully are already perfectly in sync. They communicate with just their eyes

Mulder and Scully are always talking about stuff like flight manifests & livestock diseases, but if you turn the sound off, they look like they’re talking about something very different

This show won a special primetime Emmy for best eye contact

X-FILES: aliens are real, aliens are a hoax, there's new aliens, no those are mutants, it's about smallpox, it's about war, she was abducted, she's a clone, she's dead, there's a conspiracy, no a different one ME: *gripping television* make. them. kiss.

omg I’m already there lol

i may be misremembering, but i believe the acronym URST (for UnResolved Sexual Tension) was coined for that show

I think it was UST. At least, that's what they had in the fanfic I used to read. (RST was for resolved sexual tension, fwiw)

Let me guess—sea bass and grilled broccolini with a dry Riesling

no spoilers Jen

What if I told you hitherto unknown nucleotides were detected in the sea bass DNA

oh my gosh! what a treat for you :-)

it’s already so much fun

Ooh, I really need to watch this. I've seen a few individual episodes but I've never seen the entire series!

i am overdue for a start to finish rewatch. it was very much "appointment TV" for me when it was airing

I was skeptical of the premise when it first aired but when an astronomy student friend started watching I tried it and was hooked. We totally would declare an end to working on problem sets in the physics student lounge so everyone could go home to watch it.

Oh, you do! It’s really fun.

first time!! Enjoy!

I recommend Buffering: A Rewatch Podcast for their X-Files coverage. They are watching one episode at a time and it’s spoiler free.

thanks for the tip - will check it out!

I envy you watching this for the first time. Enjoy!! (Eventually they will…🤫)

(and that *iconic* theme song 🛸👀)

Loved this show. Except the mythology episodes. Skipping on them greatly improved my experience when I rewatched it a couple of years ago.

Oh, enjoy!

Oh it's so great. And they use the dynamic to great effect.

Welcome to my first fandom as a preteen in the early and mid 90s. Enjoy! 😊

Have you seen what might be the best tribute ever to the show? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wijp... I loved this song so much in my teens...still do!

Bree Sharp's David Duchovny in HDwww.youtube.com Singer-songwriter Bree Sharp turned a fan obsession with David Duchovny into a record deal with her witty ode to Fox's fox. "The song is about David, but it'...

I remember this song!

Enjoy! X-Files is a great example of a show that does all the things that earn it the solid gold comedy episodes it sprinkles in later

Some of the best episodes.

“You mean Lord Kimboat?”

😆 - "or the fact that the whole thing is written in SCREENPLAY format"

🤣

Love it

OMG you are in for such a treat.
