here for this as long as the leads have the same insane chemistry david and gillian did

[januarysix]

their chemistry was an x-flle in itself

[genbu_no_miko24]

For real first episode in and I was like "oh they were totally fucking OMG" cause the chemistry really was palpable.

Seriously. Has anything ever come anything remotely as close?

This won't work in 2023 because the whole conceit, that only Mulder saw the x-file and Scully always missed it, can't work with the technology we now have at our fingertips. cell phones are everywhere. people would be filming the Jersey Devil and Bigfoot and uploading it to tik tok with some lady gaga playing in the background.

Also conspiracies are now a right wing tool. Would the lone gunmen watch Alex Jones if they had existed in the '20s?

I loved this show but it belongs in the 90s.

I wonder if it would work by only visiting obscure places or only having older people be victims. I'd like to say it wouldn't work but the first few seasons of Supernatural did the whole monster of the week well

the vaccine conspiracy in todays climate 💀

I think they could actually do better if they set it a few years in the future where AI and deepfakes are so prominent that you need to send real people out to investigate these things.

If it’s not Mulder and Scully, it’s not the X-Files (no offense to Dogget and Reyes). But if that’s what it takes to get a decent sci-fi anthology, call it what you want I’m there!

"The X-Files’ with a diverse cast. So he’s got his work cut out for him" this made me cackle because of how DISTURBINGLY white the show was.

In uni we attempted a full marathon but midway started counting any poc and we stopped when we realized just how little there were. And even than it was just full on stereotypes and no substance.

Also, the "I just spoke to a young man" is giving me weird vibes🧐 Coogler is a 36 year old man with a long successful established career.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Tbf Chris Carter is 66 years old so Ryan is very young industry-wise at 36.

[xpirate_queenx]

He's a millennial. We're simultaneously 17 and 45 at all times.

lol???

ETA:It took me too long to get this lol

[queenursula]

If it’s not Mulder and Scully then there’s not much to differentiate it from the other knockoffs and “paranormal mystery” shows.
