Community Update SUBREDDIT RULES

46 Upvotes

Be respectful and civil to each other.

This means no name-calling and no personal attacks. If you wouldn’t say it in front of your grandmother, don’t say it here. Don’t start posts just to create drama. If you want a free-for-all bitching thread, go here.

Mark spoiler images and posts with the spoiler or NSFW tag.

Yes, this show is 30 years old now, but the twists and turns it takes should be just as exciting for newcomers as they were for everyone in the beginning. Posts that contain unmarked spoilers will be removed.

No more posts about the reboot.

Someone posts this every week, and it always devolves into garbage. NO MORE. If you want to talk about it, here's the megathread. All posts about this from now on will be deleted and you will be redirected.

No t-shirt spammers.

Most of these accounts are bots that spam across reddit – sometimes using stolen artwork – and will be removed on site. Moreover, many of these bots have other bots that will comment on the posts asking for links to make them look legitimate. Then they send you to a site that steals your information. If you comment on the post, we will assume you are a bot and you will be removed.

If something slips through the filter, report it.

Other forms of self-promotion are okay as long as you follow Reddit’s rules. If you have designed a shirt that you would like to post to the sub, please message the mods ahead of time so we can keep it form getting caught in the spam filter.

No machine-generated (“AI”) images or works.

These image generators are trained on the work of real people, yet provide them no credit or compensation. This is at best rude as hell and at worst outright theft. Such images (and other machine-generated works such as fan fiction) are not permitted and will be removed.

If you're here from /r/ufos or a similar subreddit to ask about an episode filmed at an actual crash site that you heard about in that one podcast the answer is, we don't know. They never filmed in New Mexico. There has never been any hint from anyone who worked on the show that they ever filmed at a real crash site, let alone one that would have required the level of secrecy claimed in the podcast. Stop asking. Your post will be removed.

Viewing Order of episodes, movies, and revival seasons

Trigger List for each episode. Some of this stuff gets dark; take care of yourself.

Mytharc-Only list - those episodes of the show related to the overall conspiracy.

XF Fanfic Subreddit - while you are welcome to occasionally post your fanfic here, it would be great if the fanfic sub got some action too. You're likely to find something good there. Also the now-inactive XF Book Club on Livejournal is a great way to find classic fic from the original run, as well as some best-of for more recent works.

"I Want to Believe" hi-res poster images. Due to copyright issues, the original poster from the show is not available for sale, but you can bring these images to a printer to make your own.

Coogler Reboot Megathread Please stop posting about this. Please. For the love of Flukeman please.

Gillian Anderson: you are a writer and hands off to you. This is THE best episode in x files. It wraps up all the yinh yang of Mulder and Scully’s relationship in a beautiful way. She believes too but in a way that needs time and contemplation. She is thoughtful about it all and Mulder completes her.

Spoilers "Max"

20 Upvotes

Ok. Damn. I just finished watching this. My heart has been pounding throughout the whole episode.

In the beginning all I could think of was the recent Alaska Airlines door blowing off incident.

Then this got so intense, and the alien tech story with the 3 pieces, and where they were.

Then flight 549vthey could have just called this episode "549").

Scully's sensitive philosophical thoughts about why Mulder gave her that Apollo keychain at the very end was so moving until, of course, as only Duchovny can do, he says "I just thought it was a nice keychain" and walks away into the starry night.

Absolutely brilliant episode.

Discussion Is it just me or does Scully get more attractive as the show goes on?

268 Upvotes

I'm currently about 10 episodes into season 4, and I keep thinking Scully looks especially attractive compared to the earlier seasons. I don't know what it is, exactly, but I feel like I keep noticing it. I think I heard of someone having the hots for her, and it occurred to me that a bunch of people probably do, as well as David Duchovny.

Discussion The weird world of Fan Fiction

31 Upvotes

Ok, so I don’t read a lot of fan-fiction but the x-files format in general lends it’s self quite well to it so I thought I’d read a few.

What I’m struggling with is finding stories that don’t totally destroy the Mulder/Scully romance element with either over use or personality changes to accommodate smut.

I have no problem with x-rated content if it’s well written, not shoe-horned into the story and the characters stay in character but I can’t seem to find any 😂

Any recommendations on good reads that don’t ruin it with out-of-place, out-of-character tomfoolery?
