Growing up, I was not allowed to watch this show. So, let's rectify that!

Interesting trivia tidbit -- in the original pilot Scully had a boyfriend/fiancé. Some dude named Ethan. He was such a pointless inconsequential character that they could just cut his scenes out and nothing was lost. So they did just that. He now exists only as a footnote and some deleted scenes.
moreover they had zero chemistry together, their scenes looked a bit forced... I'm glad they deleted it.
Another fun reaction, this is a very good episode once again. In my opinion X-Files has one of the strongest 1st seasons of any 90's scifi shows.
Thank you! It indeed had a strong start. It came out of the gate swinging, with a very smart premise and likable characters portrayed by actors with good chemistry. What I really like is that they made Scully a likable character. That's smart. In most shows about paranormal phenomena, if there's a skeptic character, they are usually antagonistic toward the believer hero and entirely unlikeable. They made Scully a likable asset to the investigations even if she is skeptical of Mulder's claims, and that was really smart on the part of the creators. It gives viewers who are more likely to be skeptical and questioning someone positive within the show to relate to, which means it would bring in viewers from both sides of the belief spectrum. Very smart!
Sometimes it's wild for me seeing them sooo young. 🥰 I'm glad you liked this episode, I liked the bits of Scully's private life. ❤️
Scully goes on a date with a tax attorney.
Mulder goes on a date with a beast woman.
Neither one goes very well.
Personally, I think Scully's date was more painful ;)
😂😂😂👍🏻
But Scully was the best looking from all of them. 🥰😏
Also, I think at this point Mulder is supposed to be 33 and Scully is supposed to be 29. But Gillian Anderson lied about her age to get the X-Files audition -- she was only 24.
Yeah, I do recall hearing that she was very young for the role, and it makes sense. . . 24 is a bit young to have the amount of education the character has, but she pulled it off well.
My Aunt lived in Las Vegas and won 500k playing Bingo over a 20 years period..
Nebulous..
That's pretty impressive! My grandparents were big on bingo, but I only went the one time. :D They won quite a bit of money over the years, but no idea how much.
Looking Fabulous Nebulous..I hope you are doing great..
Thanks! I'm doing well :)
@@nebulousreactions I be watching more of your reactions...Love your reactions and personality..
So sweet to hear your voice..
I love the X-Files and accept that, like every show - even the best - it has some episodes that aren't quite up to par. This episode has good moments, but really - I laughed out loud the first time I saw that picture, presented as "evidence" of the Jersey Devil. A second-grader could have drawn something better. How is anyone supposed to look at that and exclaim in awe, "you may have something there - maybe the Jersey Devil is real!". Also, I agree that Mulder is adorable (I could go further than that, actually).
@@gibsongirl2100 hehe, yeah, the drawing is pretty ridiculous. And I feel like I might come out of watching this show with a massive crush on Mulder 🤣
The drawing is probably as good as I could draw. :) I'm wondering when Nebulous will start shipping Mulder and Scully.
@@EL_Duderino68can't be long... I have some experience with some recent first time watchers 😂😂😂
