The End of The X-Files

fonixmunkee writes "CNN is running this story that says the cult TV classic, "The X-Files," shall be no longer after this season. I have been a huge fan of this show since it started in '93, so I'm quite saddened by it's projected departure." The story originally showed up in Daily Variety, saying that Chris Carter wants to move on to other projects.

  2. They should have done more COPS crossovers! by Kamel+Jockey · · Score: 2, Funny

    Arguably the funniest episode was the one they crossed over from COPS. The whole "BACK TO THE CAR! BACK TO THE CAR" line just did it for me :)

    What?

    Do you mean that there are new episodies out there?

    I thought that they were just re-runs. But... wait a minute! Yes! Mulder is never there! So, maybe there are new episodes.

    I sincerely thought that my TV was going bad because Mulder really didn't look like Mulder, his voice was wierd and Scully never used 'Mulder' when assressing Mulder... or whoever is Mulder-2.0-i386.rpm right now...

    I guess it's time to cancel the appointment with the TV technician and the cable guy.

    I do feel bad for the show and Duchovney. He is a very likeable actor, however, he has been severely typecasted (see the last two or three movies he's been in)

    the "Red Shoe Diaries" vol 54 and which other movie?

    Most people who focus on shit like this just haven't been exposed to it enough.

    I'm not a goth, but you're goddamn right. I haven't been exposed to the real life because this happy-happy-joy-joy society.

    Sometimes I have to cut myself to just feel alive in this padded cell we call life where everyone is just supposed to "suck it up" and fake a smile.

    Fuck it. I like to be me and wallow in my existential angst.

    The only thing that keeps me from the oblivion after a thoroughly pointless existence is the meager personal enjoyment I can scratch from the oppressive fake shithole that we live in. This is a personal thing. If I accidentally cheered you up, let me say this: I really don't care about a single thing that dosen't directly pertain to my life. Why should I? Nothing really matters in the scheme of things, for there IS NO SCHEME OF THINGS! I couldn't care less how you feel, for the only thing you can get out of a pointless universe is a twisted sense of PERSONAL enjoyment. You go ahead and kill yourself. NOW. I doubt it will have any effect on my enjoyment of life. I figure that life can only provide so much entertainment, after which it becomes a huge wasteland of BOREDOM. But as long as you might be able to claw out a tiny shred of pleasure, why not get a little blood under your nails? Then axe it.

    I derive pleasure by bitching at you. Were I dead, I could not. Fuck you.

    If life is pointless, what's the point of killing yourself? What's the point of NOT killing yourself? There ain't none, buckaroo! I think it's your fault for being the one who cheered up, not mine for saying what I did. I AM NEVER DEPRESSED. There is no depression. There is only boredom.

    Should have Mulder and Scully and should end with some aliens beating a dead horse.

    Mulder: What are they doing?
    Scully: I think they're trying to tell us something, Mulder.
    Scully: Mulder?

    Mulder: Bambi was telling me about ...
    Scully: Bambi?
    Mulder: Yeah, she was telling me about ...
    Scully: Her name is Bambi?
    I think that is one of my most favorite X-Files episodes... ahh the nostalgia.

    Maybe they need to combine Star Trek with the X Files.

    Do a series on an investigatory branch of Starfleet, where two agents travel to various planets around the Federation, solving mysteries, exposing Federation cover-ups. (like hidden Vulcan military spy-bases!)
