Kell Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 We just started watching the TV show from the very beginning again tonight. Watched the first two episodes. Decided to work our way through the entire back catalogue before watching the new movie. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 before watching the new movie. It's a mini-series. Good trailer - looks like business as usual Quote
Kell Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 It's a mini-series. Good trailer - looks like business as usual Even better still - I tend to have more time for series than movies these days. Quote
Nollaig Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Ehh. Looks like the same old same old but I can't even focus on that because all I'm thinking is 'god they got old.' Still not at all sure about this. Quote
Madeleine Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I wasn't sure about bringing it back at first (one of my all-time favourite series) but now I'm looking forward to it. Quote
Timstar Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Very much looking forward to this! Grew up with The X-Files. Any know which channel it will be shown on in the UK? Quote
Madeleine Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Very much looking forward to this! Grew up with The X-Files. Any know which channel it will be shown on in the UK? I think Sky 1 showed it before, but there are lots more channels now. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me if they stuck it on Sky Atlantic, just to spite those using Virgin etc. Quote
Madeleine Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me if they stuck it on Sky Atlantic, just to spite those using Virgin etc. Which is why I refuse to sign up with Virgin, despite them always sending me stuff to entice me. Quote
Timstar Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 That's fine, I have a NOW TV subscription just for exclusive stuff on Atlantic and Virgin, and it stuff usually appears on there before it airs over here. Quote
Athena Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 This looks interesting. I have watched most of The X-files' 9 seasons and liked it. The trailer makes it look good, I'd be interested in watching the full mini-series. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 http://youthindependent.com/the-x-files-finally-coming-to-blu-ray/ That's my Christmas present sorted Quote
Athena Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Wow, that's about time! I already own most of the seasons on DVD myself, I'm not going to rebuy it in Blu-ray because of money reasons. But it's great they are releasing it on Blu-ray . Quote
Madeleine Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I read today that Channel 5 will be screening it in the UK, in February Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Watched the first episode last night. Pretty by-the-numbers in terms of story but I didn't realise I'd missed it so much until the theme music started. Quote
Madeleine Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Reviews were mixed apparently, anyway it starts in the UK in a couple of weeks. Quote
Raven Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 The second episode is supposed to be a big improvement, apparently. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Weirdly Ireland got it two days after the US (two weeks before the UK!) - No idea how we swung that, RTE is usually a few months (or years) behind on this stuff, but I'm off to watch it on the RTE Player! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Reviews were mixed apparently, anyway it starts in the UK in a couple of weeks. Yeah, not surprised - it was a bit of a mess. Second episode was much better. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 First episode was a mess. Second was an improvement but still ultimately dull and unoriginal. Quote
Raven Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 I had pretty low expectations going into this, because of comments such as the above, but I didn't find the first episode as bad as I thought it was going to be. Bit of a ploddy by-the-numbers story, but it felt like the X-Files so fingers crossed for the allegedly better part 2! Quote
