Thanks again for participating! This is your sub and we’re happy to revisit this again as needed in the future.

Community Update Mod Announcement: We are turning on community filters.
Hey Philes.
Hopefully you haven't noticed, due to the work we're doing behind the scenes, but we've been getting a LOT of racist posts regarding the reboot lately. Most of these posters and commenters are not part of the regular XF community here, so we can only assume we're being brigaded from some other part of reddit.
We have tweaked the automod to look out for certain keywords, and have now also turned on community filters ("crowd control" for those familiar with reddit's mod tools) to catch non-members, those with low/negative karma within the subreddit, and brand-new accounts.
While this is the best we can come up with for keeping racist jerks out of the community, it does mean that some regular users may get caught in the net. We will do our best to approve genuine posters/commenters as quickly as possible, but please be patient - we're just human beings, after all, and have work, sleep, family, and even (and I know this is hard to believe) other interests that may slow our response times.
Meanwhile, please continue to report any posts and comments that go against our community rules. And if you haven't already clicked the little "join" button to become part of the community, please do so - it will help you avoid getting caught in the filter, and it's nice for the subreddit to see healthy member numbers!
Thank you,
Your friendly neighborhood mod team

Found this meme I made a few years ago while looking through my camera roll. 😂 Mulder really had some fluffy duckling hair in season 2!

Discussion good xfiles podcast?
hey all, what are some good xfiles podcasts to listen to? i listened to the xcast for a while, and while i liked the format i started to lose interest when they kept introducing more hosts—i only liked some of them and would find myself skipping more and more episodes before finally giving up. are there any similar podcasts with more consistency in the hosting? thx!

Discussion Did Skinner look at stem cell therapy as a treatment for Scully's cancer?
I was 12 and not well when this episode aired in the UK. I had peadiatric onset multiple sclerosis and was having relapses. I started early.
What I think happened was Skinner at some kind of conference, meeting about using stem cells as a way of reducing cancer cells. Did this really happen?

Discussion X-File Episode Elevator Pitches
Pitch me an idea for an old school X-Files episode using only a few sentences.
“Wet and Wild”
Mulder and Scully go to a small Florida town to investigate a string of small pet killings. They discover a giant alligator that has been mutated by toxic waste. Mulder gets jealous over a handsome alligator tamer.
Discussion Suitable episodes for a 10 year old
Obviously not The mother but episodes like the one with Rhys Darby or the Pilot.
Edit:
He is still at an age where he is still open to watching old shows without complaining about why Mulder couldn't just ask chat GPT about aliens.
Also he has limited amount of TV time, so there is no way can binge 10 seasons. Just want to show him a few fun episodes so he knows what it's about and can come back to it in his stoner years.

Rumor/News Lil' Flukeman
I was already sold but now I'm fully sold. I was four when the X-Files premiered and one of my core memories was watching it with my great-great Aunt. I remember her saying "B'ni, I don't think I'll ever shower again!", after this episode premiered.
Honestly, it's one of my core memories from the X-Files that I cherish. Aunt Tessa lived to 110 and we watched almost every episode together.

Spoilers The scariest X-Files episodes...
For me, the most scariest/depressing episodes are the ones in that Mulder and Scully almost dies...Episodes like Darkness Falls or Død Kalm, Where they inteligence and luck are just not enough, having to be saved at the last moment by other people after lose all the hope.

Discussion 4:3
I'm curious, Disney offers the Simpsons in 4:3 in Disney+.
Since the X files remaster has a 4:3 version that's never seen the light of day, I wonder sometimes if Disney would give people the option to watch the 4:3 HD version for seasons 1-4 in a similar fashion to the way they offer "The Simpsons".

Discussion Could the X-Files have been nominated more/won more Emmys/Golden Globes during the 90s?
Were critics initially put off by its genre nature? Did it have strong competition from Emmy regular nominated shows? Why do you think Gillian got more award show nods and wins than David?
