That's it. That's the show.

extremely 2000's posting but season 8 of the x-files was sooooooo crazy

david duchovny leaves the show to go try to be a movie star, and they bring in famous character actor robert patrick as by-the-book asshole agent doggett (terrible name) as his replacement

they lean back in heavy to monster of the week and shake that up in ever crazier ways, half the episodes are about only scully or about only doggett, and there's an episode told backwards with them in it for only about five minutes total runtime

NOTHING about this should work - the move of scully from skeptic to believer, throwing in another guy who's less attractive and intentionally way less charismatic than mulder, losing THEE dynamic of your leads that makes the show popular, and getting sooooo Wild & Crazy Kids with the very format of your show, and yet -

it fucking slaps. not a single episode is rated in the bottom fifteen worst episodes of the show. it's a complete breath of fresh air i've never seen so late into a show's tenure. gillian anderson gets some real ass shit to sink her teeth into. you're genuinely rooting for doggett and also robert patrick's acting circles around david duchovny (who must have been soooo fucking gagged). it's unhinged. it doesn't make sense. it's an incredible season of television

You mean to tell me Britain is so broken some poor pizza delivery guy comes back from the dead, dusts himself off, and takes an order from UNIT immediately so that 13 year old boy can throat an entire slice of pizza. Like, he didn't think to take the afternoon off? How did they even cook it, the kitchen would be so dusty.

If any ounce of that could have been explained in the finale I'd have been a lot happier

Ruby was never the one making it snow. Which makes sense because the snow only started after she started traveling with the Doctor.

Sutekh was the one making it snow.

He thought her mom was a mystery he needed to solve, so whenever Ruby was thinking about her, he snuck in.

He took over Mel through her dead cells (skin, hair, fingernails, etc.), so of course he could do the same with Ruby. And when he took over Mel in those hallways, she was surrounded by snow. (As his servants said, he’s the god of death, looking over his empire of dust and ice and oblivion).

(Sorry for the shit quality of the screencaps, idk how to take a screenshot that doesn’t go black but I figured this made the point well enough)

Maestro saw Sutekh in Ruby’s soul because he was chilling there, trying to find out the truth about her mother. Maestro thought Sutekh had been destroyed, but all along he was there, in the TARDIS.

All along, we thought Ruby was doing these things, but it was just Sutekh, growing more and more obsessed with this mystery that meant nothing, until he orchestrated his own destruction by letting them live too long.

It’s so RTD and it’s perfect.

Wouldn't it have been absolute bants if they'd named her Road Tuesday

Like, Skinner just wants to be their friend. He just wants to eat his breakfast without getting shot. He just wants case reports that aren't 17 page soliloquies. He wants to not have a gun pulled on him, and to not get beaten up. He's the character of all time.

So stronk. So needy. Clearly the most trustworthy person in the room, and yet the least trusted. Why are they all so mean to him. I mean. He told that nasty smoking boi to pucker up and kiss his ass. He was a human ballistics report to solve Scully's sister's murder. What more do THEY WANT FROM HIM.

[oathkeeper-1013]

The audacity. The audacity to have Scully get kidnapped again only 8 episodes after the last time she got kidnapped. Which... now I come to think about it, was only 13 episodes after the last time she got kidnapped.

By the way I am only half way through season 2 lol.

This is my type

he’s unfixable but very fuckable

[oathkeeper-1013]

Can't decide if cute or creepy lol

This interview from 2013 where Mitch Pileggi says that Skinner had a huge crush on Scully, basically admits that Gillian has the face of an angel, and sums it up by talking about how he married her stunt double. Wild times. The interviewer was flabbergasted. 😂

He's so girl <3

[oathkeeper-1013]

Yep. Haha

What is it with me and old men? First there was Richard Dean Anderson and now Tony Shalhoub?!

PSA The Youths™ (respectfully, I love you) if you're watching a show from the 90s or early 00s, the reason the characters you ship so much are smushed together in every scene is because of the old 4:3 ratio of the shit TVs us old bastards grew up with.

They literally wouldn't fit on screen together if his elbow wasn't against her boob.

(I mean also these two were in love but still)

There is no straight explanation for this
