TV: The X Files

[epilogue]

Plus I don't want whats-her-name to have diminished roles in Hannibal or The Fall just because she has to do the X-Files now. She is great in both of those shows.

No worries. They're specifically doing this to film around those things. She's excited and a pro.

while others be spittin' up club-a-dub like a child, we got abilities supernatural like an X-file
not even Mulder and Scully could be catchin' what we spittin'
they'd try to pin us down but they'd end up straight quittin'

[epilogue]

That was terrible, Jordan.

[LoathedVermin72]

good

[tommymtcom]

How good is this show? I have never watched it.

Top 5. Evah!

[tommymtcom]

What's the rest of your top 5?

[LoathedVermin72]

What's the rest of your top 5?

this made me a laugh a little

[LoathedVermin72]

The first three or four seasons of this are some of the best TV I've ever watched, though.

[epilogue]

What's the rest of your top 5?

1. Mad Men
2. Twin Peaks
3. LOST
4. The X-Files
5. Game of Thrones

[epilogue]

The first three or four seasons of this are some of the best TV I've ever watched, though.

I would say the first 5 are perfect. Six is outstanding. Seven is glorious and weird and uneven. Eight and nine are... well...

[Simple Torture]

The first three or four seasons of this are some of the best TV I've ever watched, though.

There are a few stinkers, but the highs of season 1-4 are some of the highest highs that have ever highed:

Humbug
Clyde Bruckman
Duane Barry
Jose Chung
Wetwired

I could go on.

[epilogue]

What's the rest of your top 5?

1. Mad Men
2. Twin Peaks
3. LOST
4. The X-Files
5. Game of Thrones

But, the important thing here Tommy, is that no matter how much you agree or disagree with my particular top 5, The X-Files tends to be on MOST people's top 5. No matter who they are. Almost everyone puts it near the top. It's one of the best tv shows of all time.

[tommymtcom]

What's the rest of your top 5?

1. Mad Men
2. Twin Peaks
3. LOST
4. The X-Files
5. Game of Thrones

Out of those 5 I have only watched GoT. I intend to start Twin Peaks this week, though.

[Farmer John]

Alright, I'm excited.

I'd love it if they got Darin Morgan to come back and write an episode. He said he'd be up for it on that X-Files Files podcast.

Plus, film it in Vancouver please.

[epilogue]

Just read a brief interview with Chris Carter that has me a bit worried. They asked him about when the show would be set and he said present day. Which obviously lead to a question about The Colonization in 2012. And he basically said, "yeah, I guess I have to figure that out, huh? Not sure how we'll handle that just yet."



Fucker, that better be smokescreen.

Remastered "X-Files" Quietly Hits Netflix

By Garth Franklin Saturday April 25th 2015 07:43PM

Netflix has quietly made the first thirteen episodes of the first season of "The X-Files" available in widescreen and high-definition for the first time in the United States.

As previously reported, all the live-action scenes have been fully remastered from the original negatives, but the original visual effects shots have only been upscaled so lack the quality of the rest of the shots. Along with the better clarity, the episodes are also in 16:9 widescreen as opposed to 4:3 full screen.

The series was filmed on Super 35 and though shot for 4:3 fullscreen, at the time they knew widescreen was coming so the shots were protected for 16:9 which means there's no problem with the jump to widescreen - images will have more information on the left and right than the original broadcast - but in the process have lost some of the top and bottom.

There was one exception though, the pilot, which unfortunately has seen the 4:3 image cropped to fit a 16:9 window.

No word on when Netflix will release the rest of the first season or any of the subsequent seasons. Up until this point German television appears to have been the only place that has seen the new HD remasters broadcast with reports indicating at least five seasons of the remastered series have been broadcast so far.

No word yet either on a potential Blu-ray or Digital HD release of the remastered series.

Sounds like Darin Morgan, Glen Morgan and James Wong are all coming back to do an episode apiece.

[bada]

The remastered episodes look pretty good. A definite improvement over the DVD's I paid over $100 a season (wtf!) for back in the day. I'm looking forward to watching them all again.
