I've been marathoning x-files since the Christmas season, it's amazing, I regret not watching it sooner. Right now I'm almost in the middle of the second season. I know that the show doesn't have any concrete ending and it just goes on and on, but quality starts to drop around seasons 5-7. Where should I stop watching? Is there an episode that works as a satisfying ending?

Don't be a prude, just watch all of it.
skip the reboots
Stick to the first five seasons.
This, same deal with Supernatural as far as the story arcs go. That said, S6 of The X-Files has some all-time classic comedic episodes.
>Is there an episode that works as a satisfying ending?
The first movie
Season 7 finale actually wraps it up nicely
That'd be Season 8. Doggett was a good character and it's worth watching at least some of his stuff. The last episode of s8 ends on a perfect note and I've never felt a compelling reason to watch either the final season of the original run or any of the revival series. It just feels like the right place to stop
The original series finale had a bunch of Ford product placement and nonstop Toby Keith truck commercials when it aired
I member
I would watch the entire Season 1-4 and then only watch the best rated episodes.
follow a list to know which ones to watch. Some are dumb, boring, easily skipable but others are canon and kino
no reason not to watch most of it
some episodes are unwatchable garbage but its pretty obvious after a few minutes so just skip those
You don't need to stop watching but you should stop caring about the story arc after season 5.
Have you ever considered making up your own mind as to when to stop instead of literally being an npc and asking to be programmed with someone else's opinion? Holy frick, son.
Why should I force myself to watch shit instead of just informing myself? There have been plenty of answers, i'll have to choose an endpoint myself anyway.
>Why should I force myself to watch shit instead of just informing myself?
NPC opinion. What is "shit" is subjective, and because you're too stupid to understand what I previously wrote, I said for YOU to decide when to quit, nobody is forcing you you insipid moron. You are literally an NPC asking people to tell you what to do but it's "forcing" you to decide for yourself. And you don't realize what an absolute moron your behavior makes you out to be. Fricking sad.
>NOOOOOO don't ask other people for their opinions about a TV show, this board is for acting out like a miserable c**t and for crying about trannies and disney movies
I don't know if you're shitposting or legitimately autistic, but asking people about their opinion concerning the long term quality of the show =/= asking someone to tell you what to do. Frick, you people are thick.
>=/= asking someone to tell you what to do.
From OP's opening post
> Where should I stop watching?
And you call ME thick. Good Lord you crybabies really get your Pampers in a bunch when it gets pointed out to you. Meanwhile OP screams that he's being FORCED to watch if he has to decide on his own when to quit. Are you weak children literally incapable of hitting the "stop" button when you're not enjoying what you are watching? I just cannot fathom how absolutely WEAK you crybabies and your whining are. Like, Holy Frick, lad!
>Requesting an opinion is not the same as demanding a command
You're 100% correct.
...and whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat was OP doing???
>Please, respected person I value, can you offer me your wise opinion about the value of this ______?
vs
>Give me an order, complete stranger!
Conspicuous!
>informing myself?
Gullible morons consider taking other people's opinions as being "informed". What happens when someone tells you to harm yourself, as so often gets posted on these boards? Are you going to do that too? If you ever manage to grow up and break free from your programming, you're likely to discover you like shows that others hate and hate shows that others love. How do you make an "informed" decision there, kid?
>HELP! HELP!
>I'M BEING FORCED TO MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS!
Just, like, stop when you don't like it anymore, bro man.
>moron asks for guidance
>"you should just figure it out yourself"
God I hate liberals so much it's unreal
Season 5 finale "The End" + the first x-files movie wraps up most of the myth arc and serves as a good conclusion.
View season 6-8 as bonus episodes, or "continued adventures of mulder and scully" type of deal. Season 6 and 7 have some killer episodes but the quality noticeably dips past 7.
Did you watch the film? Either way I think it's fine to keep watching until the end (of the original show), and then watch the 2008 film. I tried watching the new series but it just isn't the same.
Oops didn't read that you're in season 2. Remember to watch the film between 5 and 6.
Bros, i've just finished the epsiode Closure.....i'm sad now, feels like its a good place to end it.
The walk-ins are/is the single most outrageous thing Chris Carter ever thought up.
i thought it was well done. and a nice comfort to these people who go missing that may have been saved before they had to suffer. think the episode is influenced in a small part by that jonbernet case.
It was well done in that the pacing, cinematography and music picks were spot on.
But the concept of walk-ins is just too fantastical, and also opens up more questions than answers. I remember walking away from that episode feeling like Mulder traded one delusion for another.
>there's an alien race that magically saves children from suffering
>except for the dozens of children that the killer already mass murdered
>also, they couldn't save samantha at any point until it was convenient to them
they also saved his mom
I thought it was moronic.
that was so schmaltzy and anti-climactic I couldn't stand it. It was part of the main plot yet felt like one of the forgettable MOTW episodes.
It kind of made Mulder's place in the series afterwards pointless because he found it that it wasn't Aliens or even the Government
what happened in it?
Mulder sucks off an old guy
ive watched it through before but its been a long time
and why did that ruin mulder's place in teh series, what happened to samantha?
>ive watched it through before but its been a long time
meant for
this bro =[ dont watch if you dont want spoilers
what season are you on i don't want to give spoilers
mulder has been investigating the disapearance of a girl from her house, the parents are suspected but it wasnt them. mulder takes the case and gets wrapped up with it as it links to his sister in some way.
people who use the word woke shouldnt even be allowed on the internet
>Guys! I'm LOVING this television program! (Click: LIKE & SUBSCRIBE, btw)
>Should I stop watching, now?
Once Mulder leaves you can safely drop it. Also muh Samantha episodes and "lore" episodes with cigarette smoking man can be dropped immediately
>missing out on Cancerman kino
ngmi
I seent em all already. They get skipped in a rewatch. I just do not care and I can't suggest anyone else start to care either.
What happens to the smoking man in the end?
He dies when when the association send a sniper to kill him. He later gets some disease and dies when Margarita and Alex throw him down the stairs, so he moves to navajo and lives in some ruins, where dies after a military aircraft tracking Mulder shot a missile and destroys the ruins. He returns for the movie where he dids but comes back for the newer seasons where dies again.
>in the end?
in the end poo comes out
What's your least favourite episode? For me one of the worst is in season 2 when Mulder goes to LA and has some sappy romance with a vampire woman who looks like Valentina Nappi.
yeah that was a total filler episode
They were dating irl at the time so Duchovny got her on the show. She’s best known as Mrs. Ari on Entourage.
the bad episodes i can just sit through but this was tedious to watch
The opening of this one was kino and the concept was neat but the episode had a lot of poor acting
The woman who was Mulder's old love interest was hot at least
>Episode introduces an old love interest specifically so Scully can be flustered
this and space(fox and dana serve literally no purpose in this episode, blackface and silly plot)
>blackface
Never liked the episode about Chinese gambling/organ harvesting guest starring Lucy Liu.
Pleb, even if there wasn't anything paranormal in it it was still kino
>Mulder goes to LA and has some sappy romance with a vampire woman
Which is hilarious within the context of the show.
>Scully was just abducted by aliens making my personal quest doubly personal. Guess I'll go bang this hot goth chick.
S4 is when the quality drops considerably, especially for the myth episodes. There are still good episodes after that but I stopped watching S6. I think watch the first 5 seasons and the movie if you've never seen the show before.
Seasons 1-5 and the first movie. That's where it ends.
I made the horrible mistake of watching season 10 and 11. You guys warned me but I didn't listen.
Good job on making an X-Files thread - normally comfy - an autistic shit-flinging horror show.
Mulder and Scully are possibly the best pairing in the history of Cinemaphile. Anderson is a qt and Duchovny gave me a mancrush
I just completed s03 should I continue?
Of courshe!
Seasons 1-5 and Season 8 are the peak
sopranos is better
I was a kid and remember watching new episodes every week. Good times. Luckily anyone can still watch the show whenever they want to.
Are there any other comfy shows similiar to this or twin peaks?
people have said "fringe" but it doesnt look comfy at all to me
Supernatural especially early on is the definite spiritual successor to X-Files.
Fringe only if you're really into the government conspiracy part of it. Otherwise
is the correct answer.
Really hate how they fricked up the final season. Fricked up so badly it got cancelled.
Instead of ending the show on a high note and wrapping everything up they did stupid shit like the sushi episode were Mulder didnt tip
That one was awful along with the one where they suddenly had John Wick powers.
>woman gets raped by a ghost
>mulder: lmao the b***h is making it up for money
How did they get away with this?
lol which episode is that?
The old person home
oh yeah lol that was mental, kinda disturbing it wasnt even a ghost was it, that old geeza could turn invisible and do that shit
Excelsis Dei, Mulder is playing the sceptic in this one.
That dynamic was funny, complete role reversal whenever it was about religion.
OP is an NPC homosexual
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose is one of the greatest episodes of any TV show, period. Dark, but genuinely beautiful.
Why does he whisper the end of his sentences?
As of this moment, I'm re-opening the seX-Files.
As of this moment, I'm posting my pepe AI meme
where did you get the voice? elevenlabs?
I wrote down a list of episodes and time stamps where Mulder/Scully speaks, made mp3 files and "fed them" to elevenlabs. I created them myself, I didn't take the voice from anyone else. Used chatGPT for some of the dialogue but wrote the bit about Apu myself and Scullys answer.
very nice oc anon
Great OC. Saved.
>mulder you love that frog don't you
kek gud one
I'd consider Season 8 to be the finale.
Are you literally me?
Are you going to watch Millennium and the Lone Gunman as well?
Was costume and props out of sync on this?
I thought they were taking the piss at first but in the footage it does look like it could have boobs.
