X-Files S1E1
- that's a pretty cool title screen
- * woman running in the woods at night * yeah this was made in the 90s
- ooooh aliens (so soon?)
- sir, why are you touching a dead body with your bare fingertips??
- sheriff's shady af
- GILLIAN ANDERSON
- the fashion is very very 90s, also she's so tiny
- cigarette man is sus
- Title Card
- so she's being assigned to essentially ruin this man's career/hyperfixation?
- of course he's in the basement (so was the BAU at first but Jason Gideon and David Rossi got em outta there and into a private jet *sigh* I miss Reid)
- that has to be an iconic line right?
- HyperfixationTM
- and thus the ship that invented shipping meets (Spirk are the still forefathers tho)
- sir, sir, you are staring
- wait they did something cool here. Mulder was introduced as a character in a conversation with Scully and Scully was introduced in a conversation with Mulder
- she rewrote Einstein? He read her dissertation?
- he's so excited someone's listening to him. Oh my God, is Mulder a wet cat loser?
- she's a Skeptic
- "the answers are there, you just have to know where to look" they're going to become the FBI's worst fucking nightmare aren't they
- ma'am what was that smile??
- will her airplane phobia come up again? I think her airplane phobia will come up again
- ew sunflower seeds
- how many apple boxes is the tiny doctor sitting on?
- medical examiner's shady af
- the height difference
- what Final Destination bullshit was that?
- that is a whole ass alien body
- loser cat let me work!!! (He's absolutely definitely a cat)
- ma'am that was not funny
- ahhh the days of dynamic camera work and actual colour grading that doesn't make you wanna weep
- prediction time: Peggy did it
- they're doing a good job of establishing that Mulder is actually the experienced agent and Scully's very green
- so the conversation earlier in the office more or less says that the FBI's been trying to shut down the X-Files for a while. Mulder is probably hella jaded and cynical when it comes to partners, he's made it clear he knows Scully's there to spy on him and yet... he's not blaming her for it, he's listening to her, working with her. What is this?
- tell me she did not just pick up dirt from a crime scene and shove it into her pocket
- I fucking knew the sheriff was shady
- why are you just holding out that dirt in his rental car and touching it with your bare hands??!?!?!?!?
- scully don't ruin his eureka moment (Time is a universal invariance is a great line tho)
- mulder looked cute as hell when he opened the door
- THE HUG????
- ar you kidding me?? Are you fucking kidding me???? They've known each other 24 hours and they're already physically (Scully) and metaphorically (Mulder) stripping down in front of each other????? This is the FIRST EPISODE?????????
- ok I've calmed down
- is there actually a conspiracy here? Or is it a bait and switch?
- also he gave her the bed and sat on the floor
- nvm my prediction was wrong
- the watch!
- oh yeah, there's a conspiracy here
- the ME's daughter?
- blood coming out of a hidden tube is very obviously blood coming out of a hidden tube
- it's the sheriff son isn't it?
- if Supernatural has taught me anything (beside soul-numbing grief and mind- breaking psychological torture), it's incredibly hard to dig a grave actually
- he starts to lose hope she's not actually with him and she immediately tells about the watch. If I'm already looking for a void to scream into during the first episode, I'm gonna be dead by the end of this show aren't I?
- it is the sheriff's son
- *takes fortifying breath* now Scully's convinced it's the son but Mulder's asking her to be cautious because she's gonna have to write all this down in a report. And she's so taken aback by this caution for her sake, she actually takes a minute
- immediately comes up with a scientific way to make it make sense. Worst Fucking Nightmare
- sheriff knew and was covering for him, bastard
- Scully conveniently and continuously missing the proof is gonna be a Thing isn't it
- he got decent proof aliens exist and he ran to check on Scully
- ok smolder holder
- they're looking at each other across a two-way mirror
- that implant is Checkov's gun
- see even she knows the cigarette man is sus
- he called her because he couldn't sleep??? They met 48 HOURS AGO (I don't actually know how many days have passed in total but my point STILL SATNDS)
- the Pentagon? Definitely a conspiracy
