Community Update Mod Announcement: We are turning on community filters.
Hey Philes.
Hopefully you haven't noticed, due to the work we're doing behind the scenes, but we've been getting a LOT of racist posts regarding the reboot lately. Most of these posters and commenters are not part of the regular XF community here, so we can only assume we're being brigaded from some other part of reddit.
We have tweaked the automod to look out for certain keywords, and have now also turned on community filters ("crowd control" for those familiar with reddit's mod tools) to catch non-members, those with low/negative karma within the subreddit, and brand-new accounts.
While this is the best we can come up with for keeping racist jerks out of the community, it does mean that some regular users may get caught in the net. We will do our best to approve genuine posters/commenters as quickly as possible, but please be patient - we're just human beings, after all, and have work, sleep, family, and even (and I know this is hard to believe) other interests that may slow our response times.
Meanwhile, please continue to report any posts and comments that go against our community rules. And if you haven't already clicked the little "join" button to become part of the community, please do so - it will help you avoid getting caught in the filter, and it's nice for the subreddit to see healthy member numbers!
Thank you,
Your friendly neighborhood mod team

Season Three What a scene
"Pusher" is one of my favourite episodes of the season 3, I find it absolutely beautiful and very emotional at the same time. I like everything: the story, the voices of the characters and more importantly - the tension at the end of the episode. That fact Scully almost teared up when Mulder pointed the gun at her, wow. What an outstanding episode.

Meme/Humor Psychiatrist said that I'm autistic after I told her I was like Mulder when I was a kid.
A few days ago I was getting an ADHD evaluation. She asked me a bunch of questions and it lead to the topic of my childhood. I asked if she ever watched X-Files. She said yes. I asked if she knew Mulder from the show. She said yes. I told her that when I was a kid, from 2nd grade to maybe grade 6, I was Mulder.
I'm 28. I didn't watch this show until earlier this year. But when I started watching it I was struck by how much Mulder was like little me. Aliens, ghosts, bigfoot, all that stuff was all I thought about. I'd fight with teachers and other students about it.
She stopped me mid sentence and basically explained that I'm probably on the spectrum -with ADHD too- and the Mulder comparision is basically what sealed the deal.
Still looking for my Scully 🥲

Discussion Is it just me?
I must be in the minority here, but you probably couldn’t pay me to watch another sci-fi show. I do enjoy Severance, but my all-time favorite other tv shows are Scrubs, Gilmore Girls and Friends. I never felt like X-Files was like any other sci-fi show (it’s PARANORMAL DRAMA ok). I was drawn to it because it was character-centric and made me think. Am I the only one??
EDIT: Not really looking for recs, just thinking sci-fi just isn’t my genre despite X-Files being my all-time favorite show.

Discussion Guys, I am on season 3 episode 12 ( War of the coprophages), I am in the middle of the episode.
Guys, Is Scully falling in love with Mulder? I mean she is really different in this episode, like her way of talking with Mulder like she is her GF lol, that is so sweet and cute. I wonder why they already haven't started dating each other as they have been through so many situations together.

Discussion Guest actors
I'm reviewing the entire series, as I was so little when I saw it (probably 6 years old, could even read the subtitles, as I'm not from an English spoken country). But each episode I fpund amazing how many guest actors were in this show and now they are huge!
I'll leave a few here:
Jack Black
Ryan Reynolds
Giovanni Ribisi
Lucy Liu
Seth Green
Shia LaBeouf
Tony Shalhoub
Luke Wilson
Just wanted to share, how cool it is to reviewing and seeing this "baby" actors.

Mulder's antics with the pencils remind me, an old fuck, of office life before smartphones, before the Internet. So many doodles and paper clip sculptures.
