Mulder came to his big revelation with so much certainty way too quickly. But the show was interesting and suspenseful. I missed the old chemistry between Mulder and Scully. It was there somewhat, but it's been a long time It's only the first show, so hopefully it will come back. ______________ As long as I am an American citizen and American blood runs in these veins I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject.” - Elijah Parish Lovejoy(1802-1837) All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent...Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government...Thomas Jefferson When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty...Thomas Jefferson Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light...George Washington |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 44633068 United States 01/25/2016 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think 'they' are changing strategy now - this stuff can't be hidden anymore so it gets revealed in a fictional TV show. They also lump it all in together - 9/11, Roswell, aliens, free energy, shadow government etc. So now anyone trying to talk about those topics immediately gets dismissed as someone who just watches too much X Files. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70491234 I got news for you: They've been saying that since year 1 of X-Files. X-Files woke up a huge segment of America. More importantly, it introduced the entire Western world to the concept of a secret, malevolent authority structure that uses lies to cover lies for purposes that are twisted, obfuscated, and altogether malicious. Agreed. My skin crawled when the girl showed her "cup" wounds. Uggghh. To be fair, it was a huge dump of material to take in all at once. Crash course. ;) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60320292 Mulder needs to shave, old grey man stubble is just old grey man stubble and ugly. I agree. It wasn't very flattering, but in the show that's on tonight he's cleaned up nicely, wearing a suit and all. I guess the scruffy look went along with the story of his depression.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70258764 United States 01/25/2016 06:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess leave out all the retarded racist BS around here to avoid controversy. Realist not racist . The truth is out there, and posted here. I don't think its OK to call black people names when some of them are living in the most horrible parts of this world and starving because our corrupt and shitty elite/Gov are psychopaths and selfish and put Money and WAR over peace and support. Most of them ot all there must be some good hearted people up there. I'm ok with pointing fingers at people who deserve it no matter what race but too many people are doing it wrong here on GLP. I agree completely. Although they also have tyranny within their communities, it is just smaller forms of our own government. The race war goes both ways. No one is at fault but the people who keep it going...AKA not only the liberals, but most shills on GLP. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71291097 Everytime I saw Scully's face on the screen, I was amazed, what the hell happen to the girl? botox or plastic, I had to wonder. Yes, one wonders why all of major conspiracy "truths" were "revealed". Perhaps it's just TPTB saying -- it's just not going to help - what are you really going to do about it? In any event G Anderson still look like a fine Leo Aryan Goddess to me :) |

User ID: 54041611 Canada 01/25/2016 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I read somewhere a long time ago that Chris Carter actually Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71279894 worked on the real X-files when he worked/works? for the government.I was always a huge fan but after David D left the series thought it descended into stupid. Loved the first film,hated the second one. I thought the premiere was excellent for the most part. David D. looked like shit,and his energy seems much darker.He also acted like he was just doing a walk-thru with his lines. The initial chemistry between he and G.A......wasn't. Other than her very tight face I thought Gillian A. was like she used to be.What is unsettling is,for them to reveal so much of what we know,they must be VERY CLOSE to the ultimate chess move,and laughing their asses off. Didn't work out too well on Mars,in Babylon or Atlantis-they can't get their binky sucking way so they take everyone down with them scenario is getting VERY OLD. Thank you nice person for posting the FOX link. Chris Carter's problem became he was spread too thin across Millenium (with Lance Henriksen 1996 'ish) and XFiles, both being filmed in Vancouver. |
