The prepare for the new X-Files seasons, I got my hands on the entire series. I never watched it before (was 5 when it first aired, **** was scary yo).
Watched s01e01 - 04 yesterday. Pretty fun to see top FBI agents on those huuuuge computers, walking around with a map to find their way, being stuck without a cellphone, and so on. There was also one of the 4 episodes where the killer apparently hibernates for 30 years before killing again, and a whole conversation where Mulder goes "if we don't find him now, we'll have to wait... 2023!!!" and it's like YEA ITS SO FAR, but now it's not.
I quite like that. Watching the early episodes of a show with the added knowledge that it's going to be successful kinda changes your way of watching.
Anyways, it's about 200 episodes long, plus 2 movies I think. I might get into the 10th season a bit late...

The Tooms episodes are still great after all these years.
Still not loving the main alien arc even though i can better follow what the **** is going on than i did back in the day. However it makes me realise just how ground breaking the show was and yet it is completely left out of lists on the great shows that led to the golden age.
Watching while working on my dissertation makes me understand how someone did a dissertation on the show in psychology that was somewhat big news back in the day.

I'm rewatching the show now. It genuinely stands up even though some of it is pretty dated (they get mobile phones in the second season though).

I don't know what Tooms are. Is it an acronym? If it's part of the story and not knowing what it is means I haven't seen anything about it yet, don't tell me

Oh it definitely stands up. The dialogue is a bit funky, and some special effects are lol, but for the most part it's very decent for a 25 years old show.
