>Hm, but wasn't it also the hotness of Gillian Anderson and the crazy romantic tension between Scully and Mulder?
Yes! So.. let's put with our lead.. some other guy!
I loved Aiden as the doc. Soldier guy was Brie-tier
You just love to see a living meme. But outside this board he's just an ordinary irish man with one expression
Nah, I'm a UFO autist, I cared more about how Hynek was portrayed than the person portraying him. That said, good job, he was charming as frick. Deserved a less boring sidekick.
The COVID was a cover, cancellation was actually because they wanted to bring on Christian Bale as Jacques Vallee and it was eating into their entire season's budget
>remember X-Files becoming this massive hit cos people were caught off guard by David Duchovny's surprisingly sensitive and emotional portrayal of Mulder?
no
among other factors - the stars aligned - but without any one factor it would be forgotten. You could also call it something like unexpected warmth or softness, well portrayed. I just watched one for example where when Scully says her usual scepticism you can really see him get butthurt
season 2 finale was BY FAR the best episode of that show. absolute kino. and then they just fricking cancel it
See
Adding Vallee was getting too close to the truth
>you're a deep throat
>FOR YOU
Lot of it looked cheap. I quit when the general talks with captain to ruin the doctors experiment. Seemed like an unnecessary level of tedium. The battle with the DoD and general was just unneeded.
Stories don't need 20 points of contention and drama. Why were there Russian spies that hated each other while one started to like the wife and tried to romance the captain?
Unnecessary. At the very least unnecessary for the first season.
THE UFO FLIGHT PLAN I JUST FILED WITH THE SYNDICATE LISTS ME, SKINNER AND DOCTOR SCULLY. BUT ONLY ONE OF YOU!
i love x-files but duchovny can't act for shit and watching try to emote is hilarious and charming in how bad he is
>One of them was disguised as a woman, but wasn't pulling it off. Like, her hair was red, but it was a little too red, y'know? And the other one, the tall, lanky one, his face was so blank and expressionless. He didn't even seem human. I think he was a mandroid.
he had a few good moments, mainly in scenes about his sister, but there were really bad performances like the episode where he remembers his past life.
>Mulder has himself hypnotized and recalls a time when he was a israeli woman with a son
>X-Files becoming this massive hit cos people were caught off guard by David Duchovny's surprisingly sensitive and emotional portrayal of Mulder
I really doubt THAT was the main reason behind X-Files popularity.
no as I said it's one factor, but in the first season it was quite important because scully and mulder are reversed gender stereotypes, so she's le rational and he's intuitive and sulky, so you needed someone who was able to do 'vulnerability' without being a wuss and he hit it just as needed
We can do it too!
>reveals the whole lore and solves all the mysteries in the pilot in your way
it had a weird direction
prime seven of 9 tho

Sounds kino
Funny you post this as I am watching it right now! Enjoying it.

If you enjoy in the comedy episodes (you're a redditor and) you deflated the show's stakes for yourself so of course you don't feel moved by its character's strungle
>noooo you can't just like the funny episodes that are consistently ranked high by oldschool X-Files fans and reference them in X-Files threads, if you do you're a stinking redditor!!!!
please for the love of god stop trying so hard to fit in on Cinemaphile.org, esl moron.
It's a telling how you listed what you've researched is 'ranked highly by oldschool fans'
We've enjoyed the show since before you were even born. When you've done that you find out what the most loved episodes are without having to look it up on wikipedia like you kids do. Now run along and learn to write proper English before you continue posting.
agreeing with this
desperate tryhard gay
that was a good show. Didn't deserve to be cancelled.
that's a big alien
Dr. Scully, I'm FBI.
>end of 2 part episode mulder and the audience see grey alien in full detail in a long shot
>previously on the x files: same scene, mulder and the audience see a quick flash of a vaguely alien-looking outline
kek cute trick from the days of shows being just on once and then you had to wait a week for continuation. make you think you imagined it
thats not at why xfiles was a hit
So do you think if the show was exactly as it was but Mulder was played by (suitably aged) Aidan Gillen, it would do the same 20M viewers?
Scully is such a fricking NERD, God! She talks like she's dictating a coroner's report All the time
>start season 10
>"what the liberal media is hiding from you" caricature
>actors checked out, like they're doing a cameo on some comedy show
Yeah....
>on some comedy show
isn't these nueps meant to be comedy ones?
X-Files was a massive hit because it was a well made, well written show that perfectly blended conspiracy with skepticism. Mulder saw conspiracies everywhere, he was taken seriously (even if people didn't believe what he was saying) and a lot of the time he was right, even if he would at times go about trying to convince people in bad or inappropriate ways. Scully was more of a normal person who didn't think everything was a conspiracy but was able to be convinced when the evidence was right in front of her and everything added up; on the other hand, wasn't such a blind normie that she was irrationally stuck in her ways. She was a counter to Mulder's zealousness.
It had frick all to do with David Duchovny's acting, you dumb butthole.
