The X-Files’ Pilot has everything. Alien abductions. Scary woods. The pinnacle of nineties fashion. Rainy sexual tension. David Duchovny looking like that. Family drama. A tragic backstory. Graveyard digging? And the most interesting choices for practical effects.

#the x files #have I ever talked about my relationship with the x files? because it’s kind of a funny story #the x files is like my dads favorite show of all time. or at least it was for most of my childhood #and my childhood was the epitome of dvds so my dad got every season on dvd. which meant that it was always on #like in the background. so I kinda ‘watched’ it growing up. but also not really. because I watched some episodes #some incomplete. most of it I don’t remember. not the details. but I know the general idea of it. I know milder and scully and aliens #and I remember more towards the end because I guess I was older by then and more likely to remember #so long story short. one of the goals of this year is to actually watch the x files. like for real in order #and I just watched the pilot and holy shit did they manage to pack a lot in it! #don’t know why I expected like some casual supernatural intro #not straight up alien abduction. but hey. I think it was great #I want more #so stay tuned for more casual posts about it
