I just saw the first two episodes tonight and I liked it. I was 10 years old when the first series started on tv here in Norway and I watched almost every episode for the next 9 years. I also saw the films. I guess that a lot of my views on the world today is because of the X-files. I don't really trust any one (especially not anyone with a high position) and I always think that politicans, the media and the big-wigs of this world is keeping the truth from us. I don't necessarily belive in alien abductions but I do belive that we are being lied to.
And seeing this new series just brings it all back. The X-files is up there among the best made tv-drama-seieres ever:)

It's too bad you didn't have anyone around you to explain that the show was fiction....nothing more than harmless entertainment for most folks...

Yes, it is fiction. I know, but so are a lot of the "news" we here about today. Especially the "news" that you see on facebook and that type of media. Making people scared is the most effective tactic for changing their minds.

How many of you... have seen something you could not explain...??? 

Just about everything bad people do to other people, the fact that the energy sector as a whole is so reluctant to embrace change, the human species' fear of change in general, lack of respect for and understanding of the past, ignorance-by-choice, any kind of fanaticism, greed...shall I continue? :mellow:

We live on a planet that seems like Eden if you take the time to look, but a lot of PEOPLE make life difficult, dangerous, harsh and stupid....and choose to live in the gutter rather than reaching for the stars. :(

And yes, I've seen things in the sky and experienced phenomena that defy all the standard and logical explanations. <_<

Wow.  Hard to follow Bill's very pithy observations.

 

BUT . . . in the context of X-Files:

Yes.  The infamous "Cattle Mutilations" of the late 70's/early 80's.  Not of this world.      :o

Bill... I agree with you 100%...shame people think they have to be like that and are....I have had to see things I did not want to as well.

On the other thing...yes for me I have seen things that deify any logic and way too close for my liking.

In the context of this thread, I will submit the "black triangle" flap of January 5, 2000 over southern Illinois. Many of the officers working on our side of the Mississippi saw the same thing.

Later that morning all the nightwatch officers who were on duty at the time were treated to a litany of threats by various command rank should they decide to divulge publicly what they saw.

I was not working that night, but had seen the infamous black triangle previously over south eastern Missouri while at a scout camp with my son. I have seen it again since moving here to southern Nevada. I saw the same triangular shaped flying object over Lake Mead one evening while en route to a call. 

One night shortly thereafter I was on our office parking lot with two co-workers when what appeared to be the same darn thing flew over. It was very very quiet and moved very fluidly through the air. Interestingly enough it was quite low and heading east. across the valley. It then made a flat turn and headed north in the direction of Nellis AFB.

Weeks later the Air Force went public with a photo of a drone known as the "Beast of Kandahar". It was named for the area in which it conducted operations against insurgents. They flew from Creech AFB here just north of Las Vegas to hunt  terrorists in Afghanistan. The beast looked remarkably like the infamous black triangle I saw.

Having lived here for almost 10 years, I can state that if we knew a fraction of what was being tested out in the barren desert we could explain about 90% of all UFO's.

My wife and I have watched the new episodes so far, and it seems like they've done a good job of continuing the style and atmosphere of the old series.  Will be interesting to see how they explain some things away, such as CSM still being alive, since the end of the original series pretty much unequivocally showed him being completely incinerated in a cave.

I also always preferred the "standalone" episodes vs. the vast conspiracy ones.  I usually saw most of the original episodes back when they were new, but if you would ever miss one of the "conspiracy" ones, you'd then be out of the loop of all the running plot lines.

Due to these new episodes, my wife started watching some of the original first season episodes on Netflix.  Amazing how different Gillian Anderson looks now compared to those original episodes.  Of course, she was 23 years younger then, too.  She's still a very gorgeous woman today, especially considering her age, but she actually seems to have lost a little TOO much weight, she's almost looking gaunt.

Always liked how she was almost a little chubby in some of the early seasons. OK, done with my chauvinism for today! :D

Well here is a question for you all...

How many of you believe that ETs have visited us or have seen something you could not explain...??? 

Aliens are real!
But they are not extraterrestrial but inter-dimensional.
Too much proof exists to deny THEY exist.
That said, the fact that they exist dovetails nicely with the holy scriptures in the Bible. Just saying!

That's all I am going to say since I don't want Harry to give me negative points or ban me for talking about Jesus.

I'm just the opposite. I always felt cheated if the conspiracy ball didn't get moved forward at least a few inches every episode.

Come to think of it, I guess I like The Blacklist for the same reason.

I definitely believe in the possibility. If asked to give a definite yes or no, then I'd go with yes.

Unfortunately, I've never seen anything that wasn't simply explained. Would kind of like to though.

Last night's episode (#3) was pretty lame IMHO. Except of course for about ten hot seconds of Scully.

Whole thing was more like Grimm than X-Files. If that's the direction they're going, I'm out.
