Mulder, Scully, Dogget, Reyes, Skinner, CSM. Anything X-Files lets hear it here!
Hey I'm G_K_B (or Philey_Freak on mIRC). I've been a completely faithful Phile for about 2 years (a really short time, i know). My favorite eps are: Requiem, Bad Blood, Small Potatoes, Kill Switch, Chinga, Fight Club, The Truth, The Unnatural, Leonard Betts, and Never Again. My guilty pleasure is the X-Files Album (from the movie). I saved my measly teenage paychecks to buy S4 and S5 (S6 as soon as it comes out!) and i tend to guard them with my life, lol. My favorite character is Scully and I am a M/S shipper all the way. *I also cried during the last scene of The Truth (I just got caught up in the moment).
I know that I'm not the only one here!! So if you have a story to tell on XF fandom, post it and welcome! Please don't make me look nuts!

you're not alone!!! i've been a phile for over 7 years now and done all kinds of crazy things for my obsession - last but not least get online! i even bought my tv just to be able to watch XF in peace without annoying family members getting on my nerves (i was 15 at the time so this was a big investment!) i love doggett and reyes, but still i kinda miss the time when saying you were a shipper was all the clarification you needed.... oh, but i haven't seen season 9 yet (germany only gets it next month or so) so please be kind and warn me if you're talking about it!

ok, i'll warn u ;D
I know what u mean about the 'shipper' clarification though. In all honesty, I'm not really a fan of Dogget and Reyes. I'm definitly more of a Mulder and Scully person....I prefer them for some reason. I just never got the 'vibes' D and R...lol.

Im so glad someone finally started a good post on the XF's. I miss Fox so much, and Scully, well...shes like my mother. LOL. I guess you could say I love XF's as much as I love Spiderman, but not as much as I love you sweetie I LOVE THE LONE GINMAN...they are a big reason as to why that show is so great, I mean come on whats a sci fi show without three comp nerds trying to help FBI agents save the world from human alien clones. And uuuu errr, heres the truth, XF's has made me cry mant times. (mostly durring the series finalle) I cant beleive its over. O well DANA + FOX FOREVER!!! ;D ;D ;D

hello and welcome! I'm a really big scully fan myself, and I also like the LG. You don't have to thank me for making this thread, just tell other Philes on this board to come here! I want to get some good discussions going on! I have nothing to watch on FOX now, lol. Except maybe reruns. But I can get those on FX daily . And Kazaa.

ahhhhh... that's a topic for me!!! hmmm... i'll go by season S1 - Fire (while i hate Phoebe, this ep has some of the best dialogue. "I was merely extending her a professional courtesy." - "Oh, is that what you were extending?") & Beyond the Sea ("Dana." need i say more?) S2 - Irresistible (It was scary without even being paranormal. And that hug...) & Colony/End Game (just love those two, not sure why) S3 - Syzygy ("Hate him, hate him, wouldn't wanna date him." one of my most used XF quotes) & Pusher ("I think you drooled on me." - LOL) S4 - Memento Mori (my all time fave. first thing i did upon taping that ep was to press rewind and watch the last scene again. and again. and again. there was even a time when i used to get mad at people who spelled it mOmento mori) & Small Potatoes ("You think the fall killed him?") S5 - Redux II (sight for sore shipper eyes) & Kill Switch (what can i say? i'm a geek at heart) S6 - Dreamland I&II (a multitude of great one-liners - "Ladies and Gentlemen - Mr. Johnny Cash."; "Baby me and you'll be peeing through a catheter."; "If I kill him, is it murder or suicide?" - "Neither if I kill him first." [k, that was 2 lines ;D]) & The Unnatural ("Hips before hands." ;D ;D ;D) S7 - FPS (Go, Scully! "Why do men feel the great need to blast the crap out of something?") S8 - Patience & Medusa (they were the Scully/Doggett versions of The Host & Darkness Falls) and S9... well, i'll let you know once i've seen it! 4-D was good though

LOL, S1) The Erlenmeyer Flask S2) One Breath S3) Quagmire (ahhhhh! Queequeg!) S4) Tempus Fugit/Max ("Happy Birthday dear Scully!!") S5) Hmmmm....a tie between Redux and Bad Blood ("Who's the black private dick, who's the sex machine with all the chicks? Shaft! Can ya dig it? They say that cat Shaft is a bad motha-Shut yo mouth! I'm talking bout Shaft" "That's essentially exactly what happened. Except the part about the buck teeth.") and I also like Kill Switch ("And what were you, their bass player?") S6) The Unnatural (LOL everyone loves that one, but only for the 1st and last scenes!) and Arcadia S7) Fight Club and Requiem (:sniff: ) S8) DeadAlive, Within, Exsistence S9) The Truth I cant wait for u to see that one Edited to add: The Post Modern Prometheus! (Dance, even if you have no where to do it but on the road to Memphis!) I downloaded "Walking in Mephis" solely for the memory of that scene!

I have been an X-Phile since the beginning; actually since the second episode. Each time I saw the promos for this ultra-creepy new show called The X-Files back in 1993, I had shivers down my spine, so I told myself, no way in hell I'm going to watch this. A boring Friday evening and a curious mother got me hooked with the show and all is history. Once I have the money, I am going to buy all of the seasons on DVD. X-Files was my very first TV obsession and remains to be unsurpassed at this point. An hour of XF each week was enough to satisfy my television viewing quota. Hm, I need to think about what are my favorite XF episodes. I have a lengthy list.

Yay! Another Phile! I wish that I was old enough to watch the show when it started, but I only really got interested during the 8th season. But now I have a major obsession . BTW!! My dad got me some XF posters for my birthday!! They're still coming in the mail though.....hopefully it won't be much longer!

ahhh.... anticipation is pure torture!! happy belated b-day, btw!!!
my story of how i came to watch XF is actually rather embarassing. it was the summer between seasons 1 & 2 - i even remember the date: july 28th 1995 (in germany we only started a year later) i had seen announcements in the tv guide before and thought it was some horror show - not really my type of thing back then. but in july, i was on vacation at a hotel that only had a single tv for all guests, and on said friday night i was sitting in the tv room after watching lois & clark (that was the embarassing part) and didn't care to go to bed just yet, so i stayed and watched what was on next - the episode was Tooms, and the rest is history ;D

Squeeze and Tooms were two of the most creepiest XF episodes I have seen. It's funny to see the same actor who played Eugene Tooms in a totally different light as a hilarious character in "I Am Sam" who is afflicted with a severe case of attention deficit disorder. Did you know that he is a vegetarian, but his Eugene Tooms character ate human liver that granted him some kind of immortality? I thought that was funny. The actor Doug Hutchison also starred as the nefarious and corrupt prison ward officer in "The Green Mile."
I was only 13 when I started watching XF. My Mom asked me why I like to watch creepy stuff like and that I should not be watching it, but she never stopped me. The controverial issues and the violence never phased me at all.
