Mystery Solved: X-Files 2016 - Babylon
Mar. 13th, 2016 06:00 pmSeems like Mulder has not quite dusted the sands of 'Californication' off of his big, "good ol' boy" boots. It is no secret that I am an X-File fan, or rather I specifically have a big girly crush on David Duchovny. I watched the 'Babylon' episode and wet myself laughing - Mulder ' 'Shrooming Large' in Texas. Had to stop and rewind several times. No spoilers, but it turns out he was off his head, generally rather than fungally.
I especially loved his post-trip chat with Assistant Director Walter Skinner.
Mulder: Dude, I was on fire.
Skinner: Dude, you were an embarressment.
(Later - with Agent Einstein)
Mulder: You...you were there. You were 'Fifty Shades' of bad!!!

X Files Premiere - UK
Feb. 8th, 2016 11:18 pm
I was an X-Files fan back in the ninties/noughties (basically because Mulder was cute/pretty masterful with a torch)and time hasn't diminished its attraction. Not so much a fan of the films, though. The premiere hit the UK tonight and I think it was fair to say that myself and my forty-something nerdy pals were glued, even if Anderson's face is pretty immobilised and Duchovny is a bit dog-eared.
Ironic to think that Mulder's initial paranoia about crooked governments seems to be legit in the 21st century. I am far more likely to believe in corrupt officials and rich, shady, largely-anonymous figures, than little green men. Still, shaping up to be a great series, though the British press don't necessarily agree. The Guardian considers it 'underwhelming and ultimately unnecessary'; The Express feels that it is 'A Nostalgia Fest that Descends into Chaos.'
I don't care - let them reboot and nuts to their ne'er sayers.
