There was never a man who loved Janice Soprano that didn't end up dead or homeless

 

[Goon Dog]

Dana is a no. Gillian is a hell-fucking-yes.

 

[whocares]

Sounds like most sci-fi I've ever had the misfortune of seeing

 

[Contempt]

Yeah but she was hot so who cares?

...and besides, they need a main character to be the skeptic.

 

[Zer]

Yeah but she was hot so who cares?

This

Plenty of Tinder girls with stories like OP but all that matters is wood

 

[Rhood]

Which episode from what season does she go to the pocket dimension?
I wanna see that one.

Logic? I AM ILLOGICAL??????

Talk to the FBI agent who gets KIDNAPPED oh gee i dont know 11 times by the shadow government and held at gunpoint, then has the audacity to basically deny it ever happened. Logical explanation my ass

lady you are in the basement of Cryptid HQ and youve already been here like 10 times, do you have amnesia?

 

[Bob Gray]

She does start to be less of a skeptic, but yeah.

One of my favorite ironies of the show is you have maybe the most rational, sane, scientific female character of all time, that is always wrong.

Loved that show. Y'all remember the inbred episode? They won't even broadcast that one anymore from what I heard.

There wouldn't have been a show if she wasn't a skeptic. Fuck sake.

I suggest you watch Straightheads...payback movie with Danny Dyer. Her nipples are extra terrestrial.

And because I'm nerdy AF about this show, I put this in my bar, with the Mulder pencils in the ceiling and the sunflower seeds in a jar with the white tape x on the front.

I think one of the worst aspects of "geek culture" becoming mainstream, basically a style of reviewing were searching for plotholes/logical failings replaces judging everything else and takes the misplaced view that the reviewer alone is smart enough to spot them not that the audience has done so but is capable of suspension of disbelief.

I would say as well with the X-files viewing it like a modern serial story is probably a mistake, yes it did help to introduce those elements into longer TV series but still I don't think its really the main focus. Even the serial episodes themselves I would argue really don't focus that much on "arc" plots, they maybe advance a plot a little but really there more stand alone stories which focus more on the government conspiracy side.

I do feel like its basically a show of two parts with those episodes were things are actually revealed a bit more and the stand alone episodes which make up most of the show were they tend to remain a bit more cryptic. I think its the second kind of episode which makes up more of the show which is really its main strength, most of the best episodes are of this kind and if your concerned with consistancy Scullys basic character works across them better.

I would say as well I feel like a lot of modern serial sci fi shows(basically from BSG onwards) obsess too much over playing to that geek market which wants everything to be deadly serious, the X-files to me is a classic case of a show which was so good because it covered so much ground in tone/style, it didnt just fall back to cliffhangers and being deadly serious all the time. Personally for me as well it actually feels more "adult" than alot of those shows which follow, Mulder and Scully feel like more well rounded people because they have range to them including for example plenty of humour(and Scullys relentless scepticism was often made fun of as was Mulders relentless belief) rather than a geeks idea of what a "serious character" is.

 

[Bacco]

She was needed for the show

Shit happens
v
Excited Mulder "sure funny explanation for this!"
v
Fart face Scully "sure logical scientific explanation for this, Mulder."
v
Shit get crazier and Mulder was right, because nobody wants a show about boring logical scientific shit

 

[Meatspin]

Disagree, x files was a solid watch back in the day.
