" So Ill just talk about something I think we all enjoy(otherwise why would you click this blog title??) the X-files. I was hooked on SCI-FI when I was 6 years old, when I inadvertently got to watched Alien on TV while playing with the remote:D After seeing the Xfile's commercial so many times I'd beg my parents to let me watch it and that I wouldn't get scared(almost always did lol) and eventually I was allowed to watch it all the time when I wouldn't stop bugging them about it. I remember lots of good times talking with friends that were also allowed to watch X-files at school, there were not very many. Over the years Science Fiction and Hockey were(and still are) the only thing on television that I wanted to watch. Probably one of the reasons I love Starcraft is that it is science fiction based and RTS(my favorite game genre). If you were or still are a fan of the show I invite you join me in re-watching the entire series (pilot-season9) if you have the means. (simple google search for: watch xfiles online)I will be putting my thoughts and a basic synopsis in spoiler tags for each episode, as well as a second spoiler tag focused on more in depth ,and probably crazy, conspiracy regarding the plot.
S01E01 Pilot + Show Spoiler +
Set in the great state of Oregon. Which has given us Matt Groening(The Simpson creator), Mitch Pileggi(Walter Skinner) and one Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson. Geoff, if you ever read this, your not on wikipedia's famous people but we know who Oregon's favorite SC2 pro is In this small town surrounded by woods teens are mysteriously dying. Each of the bodies had two small moles on their back. As Mulder and Sculley(did anyone else enjoy Sculley in the buff too?) investigate their evidence and even the bodies exhumed are stolen or set on fire to cover up what is happening in the town. The parents and sheriff all seem to know whats going on. Billy Miles, a boy apparently in a coma is taking the teens into the woods to be killed by a mysterious white light. As Mulder and Sculley enter the woods to collect another sample to compare to one taken from Billy Miles they discover the Sheriff's truck and investigate, Sculley is knocked out by the Sheriff(A. hitting a women bad B. hitting a women with a shotgun is just fucked C. NOTHING HAPPENS!!! WTF lol episode finishes and nothing happened to the guy!) Mulder prevents the Sheriff from killing his son before the light changes the boy back to "normal" (no coma) When he is interviewed by the FBI he says that voices in the light implanted a device in his head and gave him instructions to kill the others. And that their(voices) experiment was a failure, that they were leaving. The Smoking Man(look for this guy often!) quickly speaks with a man and leaves. Sculley debriefs and goes home only to receive a call from Mulder saying the files were taken as well as the alien metal Sculley recovered from one of the bodies. All in all good pilot imo

All in all good pilot imo So holy frigging hell guys and gals, when I was watching them interview Billy Miles and the nature of the clones, it dawned on me that the aliens in this episode could be the creators of the shapeshifters from later seasons! the silver metal implants and the unknown alloys coupled with basic clones being implanted into human society is what did it for me. Cool to think they might have had the ground works laid for seasons 3 and 4 in the piolet possibly. Also I immediately recognized the Smoking Man and whom he was speaking to as one of the Conglomerate. Man I cant wait for more things that I might have missed that you guys see too!
Hehe I think this might be fun as well to have a running total of bodies exhumed through the series and by the end we shall have our total lol Exhumed body count: 1
Thank you for reading my first blog and joining me in our journey through one of the best Sci-fi series ever. Please leave your comments about the episode covered today, and see you all next time!
