In the justly derided later seasons of the X-Files, they produced one masterpiece episode, easily among the all time best: The Lost Art Of Forehead Sweat. The "peak" of that ep is this scene, in which Dr. They explains exactly what's happened in the last decade. This is the ballgame. Watch it or not, it probably won't matter. But you should. Note that this is from 2018, during the first Trump admin.
@drewphish I mean there it is.
@mrcompletely It's like the person who wrote this had a time machine. Eery.
@drewphish funny that everyone thinks this is old. It's from 2018.
@mrcompletely I had no idea that show was still around then. None!
@drewphish @mrcompletely Those statues are amazing! Any idea where they are or what they're called? Full disclosure: this is the first bit of X-Files I've ever watched (and I'm 44!). So apologies in advance if they're a big part of the show.
@joshalcorn @drewphish they def are not, and I don't know. They certainly are a trip right? I'd love to know too.
@monicarooney @joshalcorn @drewphish figures it's in Vancouver!
@chopaganda @mrcompletely @monicarooney @drewphish Oh man, as if I needed another reason to visit Vancouver!
@drewphish they did a few seasons widely spaced after the main run of the show. This is the only great thing they came up with in that time.
@drewphish @mrcompletely Darin Morgan wrote many of the best episodes. This should have been the wrap-up for the show. It's a perfect ending.
@brianvastag @drewphish yes, most of my fav eps are his. Definitely.
@mrcompletely @brianvastag @drewphish Mulder and Scully meet the Were-Monster is another pretty solid Darin Morgan episode. Goofy, but solid.
@maxellxlii90 @brianvastag @drewphish Jose Chung's From Outer Space will always be tops for me
@mrcompletely @brianvastag @drewphish - was just referencing the revival seasons, possibly the only other “reccomended viewing” episode aside from the masterpiece you mentioned.
@maxellxlii90 @mrcompletely @drewphish Darin Morgan's other revival episode with Rhys Darby and Kumail Nanjiani is also fantastic.
@brianvastag @mrcompletely @drewphish yeah, that’s the one!
@maxellxlii90 I typed my reply before seeing yours.
