This reminds me of how much I miss watching X-Files back in the days. Such a good show.
- sgt 3y agoThe Lone Gunmen!
- hnthrowaway0328 3y agoStill a good one. I watched it once few years. I'll probably watch it again this year during Christmas. When my son grows up I'll introduce it to him too. I'm not sure what is the appropriate age but I guess 12 is OK? Some of the scenes are definitely 18+ though, I think.
- mikub 3y agoJust don't let him watch the episode called "Home", some other episodes could also be to early at 12, but most should be ok.
- hnthrowaway0328 3y agoOh yeah, now that you reminded me, there are a few episodes that has sort of viewer discretion warning at the beginning. I'll tell $wifie that I'll have to re-watch the whole X-Files this month to figure out which episodes my son should avoid when he is 12 (that is around 9 years from now). This definitely counts as parenting work.
- theIV 3y agoYup. For better or worse, "Home" _almost always_ gets a "Jump to Next Episode."
- AntoniusBlock 3y agoIf you're in the UK, all X-File episodes are available to stream for free on 4OD. I'm re-watching it too, but I'm so busy I can only do 1 episode every few days.
- mikub 3y agoThat's almost how it was back then, one episode per week. ;) I haven't done a complete rewatch but from time to time I just watch some of my favorite episodes like, "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas", "Field Trip", "Quagmire" to just name a few of them.
- circularfoyers 3y agoThe same on SBS OnDemand, for anyone in Australia.
- c23gooey 3y agoThank you for this.
- mindslight 3y agoIf you've got an Internet connection, all the X-files episodes are available for download through torrents.
- zoky 3y agoUnfortunately, I do not have an Internet connection…
- tomduncalf 3y agoThere goes my weekend lol. Thanks! Are they the remastered versions? I was quite impressed by how good they looked on the whole.
- mwaitjmp 3y agoIt’s quite impressive how good xfiles looks today when you compare it to other shows around the same period. Space above and beyond in comparison looks pretty terrible from what I have seen. It’s not even wide screen. I think X files was shot on film perhaps? I’m not sure if what we have now on say Disney plus for example is a remastered version but certainly it holds up very well.
- codexb 3y agoI fondly remember getting Little Caesars pizza every Friday after soccer practice and coming home to stay up late with my dad and watch the new X-Files. The 90's truly were the best decade.
- tomcam 3y agoThat’s a lovely reminiscence. It’s a beautiful memory to have.
- UberFly 3y agoIt's funny how these kind of -maybe mundane at the time- things really are the most important things.
- mrexroad 3y agoAgree. Friday night X-Files was is such a great memory. My 90’s-geek-self (and current) especially loved any episode with the Lone Gunmen — such a different era of hacker culture. On the opposite end of the spectrum, while I enjoyed watching SeaQuest (s1 at least) on Sunday nights, I mostly remember the post-episode dread as the weekend was over and it was time to get ready for Monday.
- cm2187 3y agoI loved as a teenager but its looks silly now, like a lot of teenager movies. With the exception of the "X-cops" episode which is a little gem.
- RajT88 3y agoIt has aged better than most other shows from the era. IMO of course. "Harsh Realm" (another Chris Carter show) may yet become relevant again though. "The Lone Gunmen" as the sillier cousin of X-Files is as charming as ever.
- mavhc 3y agoMillennium is still the best spin off, and the episode parodying Scientology is still amazing
