Disagree. I watched the show for the first time several years ago and it was fine. Felt like it was a recent show that dropped.
I forgot why I dropped the show after season 4. I might have been watching too many shows at the time and when that happens I kind of drop the low priority stuff. I'm probably gonna have to start the whole thing over again.

remember this classic game?
Big fan obviously 
X-files was cool because you’d actually learn some cool stuff by watching the show. “Well actually Scully, research has shown that ppl are in fact capable of..” etc etc. Always enjoyed that back and forth banter between the agents. Gave it a sense of reality in a way.
And I for one enjoy Scully as I align with her skepticism in real life. As a teen I LOVED reading about UFOs, cryptozoology and the paranormal and this show was heaven sent! So was “Sightings”. But once I was a young adult I threw all that out the window. Big skeptic of nearly everything these days although there are some YouTube channels I consider a guilty pleasure
.
But yeah I think Scully was a decent balance to Mulder who’s super gullible and has gotten duped or been wrong and/or been given false leads plenty of times on the show. I’m currently only watching the Arc episodes and I’m on season 4. haven’t watched in a long long time. Watching with my kids and they love it.
To me, the X-files is legendary because it’s an anthology show diving into all types of spooky paranormal and government conspiracy subjects. We hadn’t seen anything like that up to that point on network TV. Mostly had to get your fix with horror or fantasy stuff. X-files filled that void for us 90s teens who were a bit different.
btw, it’s not my favorite show believe it or not. My abolute favorite is The Twilight Zone (1959-1964). Hands down top 3 tv show of all time. Still watch episodes til this day. In fact, I think I’ll make a thread on it.

I miss original threads like this. 
NZA
LOL
i think the stand-alones are the most re-watchable onesI really miss this show. Time to run it back. Some of those stand alone episodes were the best. Darkness Falls is one of my favorite episodes.
So cigarette man smashed Mulder's mom and then bragged about how inadequate Mulder's dad was to her face

@Foxmulder

That satanic doctor who changed his face escaped. Murdered like 10 people @Foxmulder
The Jim Jones cult. bytch was your resurrected lover and you let her die. They all died. Like 50 people.
How many bodies Mulder got on his watch

So was the cigarette man Mulder's real dad?? I never did quite understand what was going on there.
Yea he is. Although I haven't got to that part yetSo was the cigarette man Mulder's real dad?? I never did quite understand what was going on there.
Google says it gets confirmed in season 8
Cancer man definitely smashed while Mulder's "step" dad was alive
