Discussion New XF Reboot Sub at r/XFilesHulu
Hey X-Philes!
I've created a new subreddit for Hulu's upcoming X-Files reboot series at r/XFilesHulu and have been given permission by the lovely mods here to post about it here to encourage anyone excited or curious about this new phase of the fandom.
It's brand-spanking-new, so don't mind the construction dust, but hopefully it'll be a great place to share things about the new Hulu series going forward. This will be cross-posted in the megathread as well.
Note: I realize not everyone is excited about the reboot, and that's totally fair, but I feel it's important to note that this sub will be a fan community, so it's not going to be a place to air grievances or rant about the show while it's in production or hate-watch it while it's airing.

Rumor/News The X-Files: Chris Carter Wants Mulder and Scully Back for Another Chapter
Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files, has revealed that he still has plans for Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, potentially bringing David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson back for another chapter.
A new movie? A limited series? An unfinished mystery involving Scully's story?
Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler is developing a new take on the iconic sci-fi franchise for Hulu.

Discussion Season 3 - War of the Coprophages
Well, I haven't seen S03 in ages, and I'm enjoying this season so much so far.
This particular episode was great. From Mulder answering "Have I lost my mind?" with "No, you just had a very stressful day that's affected your ability to think clearly" (which is actually pretty relatable), to the mass hysteria at the mart, which reminded me a little of the toilet paper crisis during the pandemic.
Or Scully saying this is no place for an entomologist before entering a cockroach-infested building...
The AI scientist also made me think about the whole AI boom - problems we're currently experiencing.

What are some other moments you liked in this episode?

Spoilers Luther Boggs
I have a question about Beyond The Sea. First off it's in my top 10 fav episodes of all time. But some scenes are confusing me and I would like to hear your opinion.
When Boggs says to Scully, " Scully avoid the devil, don't go near the devil leave that to me"
So what did he mean by that? Did he sabotage the floor where Henri fell long before he was arrested.
2 - Mulder through the whole episode telling Dana not to believe him, then at the very end he says, Mulder: "Dana, after all you've seen, after all the evidence, why can't you believe?"
Scully: "I'm afraid. I'm afraid to believe."
Mulder: "You couldn't face that fear? Even if it meant never knowing what your father wanted to tell you?"
3- Boggs says to Dana that in his one and only life he's doomed to go back to that chair over and over again. Does that mean after he dies his soul will be punished by going back to the chair?
4- When he says to Scully that Mulder is looking into that cold and dark place right now. Was he just trying to confuse her or was Mulder really looking into that cold dark place?

Original Content Found these at the thrift store for $8 each!
Missing seasons six and seven, but I could not walk away from these. All the discs are in perfect condition, some of the cases are a bit worn but I checked on eBay some of these go for $40+ each. I’ll keep looking to see if I find the two missing seasons before I cave and buy them on eBay. Just thought I’d share, I love seeing everyone share their thrift x file finds or just their cool unique collection(s) of x files. Thank you all. 🖤 the truth is STILL out there! 👽

Discussion Thoughts on Fowley?
I started a rewatch that only includes the myth arc episodes. Finally got to the end of season 5 and I'm finding that I still don't like Fowley. I get that she was important to the story overall and the tension that her arrival created between Scully and Mulder just hurts. Fowley may have redeemed herself by helping Scully save Mulder in season 7 but I still can't stand her. How do you all feel about her?

Discussion Does anyone have any funny quotes they’d like to share with me? I know it’s late but I’m so depressed and just want to be able to laugh.
I know X Files has its share of serious moments but also a lot of funny ones. it’s 2am where I am and I’m having one of those nights that feels like it will never end and well I’m so overwhelmed my life at the moment.
im a fairly new(ish) fan and often watch it before gettin bedtime . I’m just curious if anyone has anything to share with me. I’m slightly drunk right now but ya
edit- it is currently morning and I am reading through the rest of these comments now, I fell asleep some time after posting this but I just wanted to sincerely thank everyone who left a comment. I didn’t really even think I’d make it through the night and life is just not looking up for me recently, but gotta find joy where I can to keep going. thank you.

Discussion Fanfiction Suggestion
Just finished watching Campus Drivers and I can't help thinking how cute a young Mulder and Scully college AU would be!
I can imagine that if Samantha had never been abducted, Mulder would still be fascinated by the supernatural and all things unexplained, but he'd probably be a lot more outgoing and popular in college. And he'd still be the kind of guy who'd help out the new girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend during her first week, who's there on a scholarship and might have to drop out if she can't find somewhere to stay.
What do you guys think? Did anyone watch Campus Drivers? Can someone create this fanfic? <3
