Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Fringe and MUCH MORE!

[Meran]

You've heard the news that X-Files is coming back for a mini-series of 6 episodes, right? Fox AND Mulder , shooting this summer in
Vancouver, Canada, not sure yet when it'll air.

You got that right, lol

I agree!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I love a good conspiracy :-) The X-Files is Back. Are you watching?

[Mary]

I hope Big Blue flies out of the lake and puts out the Smoking Mans' Cigarette.

I truly believe the Truth is out There.

Is this already playing...channel ?

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

FOX. I think there have only been 2 episodes aired so far :-) I've watched the first one. They should be free to watch on FOX Website. I'll find and post the link.

THANKS...can't wait to watch.

I'm looking forward to watching episode two. Maybe tonight :-)

Much better than that second movie in my opinion :-)

[Tracy]

Thanks for the link Dustin. I just finished the second episode and I loved it.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I think I will go watch it right now. Hell Yeah!

Whoohoo!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Hell Yeah! Watched it.
(view spoiler)[ Doing experiments on children always seems to trigger emotions from people. They did this in Fringe too. (hide spoiler)]

I think they are doing a great job with Season 10. I am really enjoying this. I think the creators really listened to what fans wanted to know - all the unanswered questions. For Example (view spoiler)[ William - The baby Scully had. It's nice to see that brought up again because everyone was wondering why it just swept under the rug. Even in an interview on late night television years ago, Gillian Anderson said she forgot Scully even had the baby - I was like how can you forget that. Now, Mulder & Scully think about William all the time. Interesting. (hide spoiler)]

And another thing is the Cigarette Smoking Man (view spoiler)[ They just keep bringing him back after we think he is dead. I mean last time I saw him, he was in some Native American Ruins with long hair and there was an explosion. (hide spoiler)]

This is just really fun and I'm also looking forward to a return to TWIN PEAKS. Now, if they would just bring back FRINGE and Make another Movie Release of all 3, I'll be happy :-)

[Barbara]

I am enjoying the X Files too....I have not heard anymore about Twin Peaks returning. I hope that wasn't scrapped !!!

[Jim]

I just realized there was a discussion about the X-Files revival. I am enjoying it also. The third episode was terrific and so funny. The third episode made this whole revival worth it.

I read somewhere that if the ratings were good that David, Gillian, and Chris Carter would be open to do more episodes. They would do a shortened season like this revival. And I know the ratings are excellent so we might even get more X-Files. How great would that be?

[Ken]

I've been watching X-files but the episode with the lizard/man was pretty lame. They can do better than that.

There seems to be no middle ground with that episode. Either you absolutely loved it (like me) or hated it. I thought it was so funny. I have always liked the comedic episodes of this show.

[Karen B.]

I found it very humorous; especially considering the otherwise serious nature of the show. It was a nice contrast. I hope they are going to bring the cigarette man back.

The X-Files has always included at least one humorous episode in each season. This is a great tradition. This episode also paid tribute to X-File family members including Kim Manners at the cemetery. I enjoyed it.

[Karen B.]

Okay, I admit I wasn't a devoted fan for the original series. But this time I am really hooked. Also one of the cable stations played the movie and because I had it set to record X-Files it played that movie and I loved it. I wish now I had been a fan of the earlier show. I had seen a few episodes but they didn't hook me the way this series is. I really hope they do continue with it. Sometimes I will be asking you guys and gals questions that refer to things established in the original series, so bear with me please.

You can always start from the beginning :-) I own the entire boxed set and both movies. I plan to start re-watching The X-Files in entirety one of these days, but it's quite the commitment. Right now I am re-watching FRINGE. Other shows that I plan to re-watch include FIREFLY, TWIN PEAKS and SIX FEET UNDER :-)

Thanks Dustin, I have been thinking of that but have been considering the investment of time and money right now. Money, especially, that I would rather spend on something to read than something to watch.

I did a whole re-watch of the X-Files when I heard they were doing the mini series and you are not kidding it was a commitment. There were times I actually asked myself if there was something wrong with me.

Thanks Dustin for some ideas for a new series for me to watch. I have been looking for a series to watch. I never watched FRINGE and I tried FIREFLY when it aired but I think I was looking for another BUFFY and I did not enjoy it. I was going to do SPENSER FOR HIRE but the dvds are a little pricey right now.

I watched Under the Dome all the way to the season 1 finale. After that underwhelming finale I stopped watching. Warehouse 13 was a great show. I watched that while it aired. I tried the Librarians and it was too cheesy for me. Too bad because I liked the cast. I liked John Larroquette from his days of Night Court. and the actor who played Lindsey from Angel. I watched several episodes and gave up.

[Karen B.]

I loved Warehouse 13. I too tried to get into the Librarians but really couldn't. Another show I really liked for the first couple of seasons was Haven. Didn't care for the last two seasons as much.

I did note that it is cheesy. I guess that's why I like it. I'm glad there are others who liked Warehouse 13! Have any of you trie..."

If you like Warehouse 13 you should try Eureka. If I remember correctly they even did a crossover event with Warehouse 13.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I started watching Warehouse 13 at one time, but didn't continue. I may need to try it again. Also Eureka and Librarians I'll have to check out.

I felt the same way about Under The Dome, enjoyed the first season and then with the second season, I was saying "What the Hell?"

I just finished watching Season One of Penny Dreadful. Found it at the library and I would recommend it. I would also recommend Orphan Black.

[Rebecca]

I just started watching Eureka and i love it! Also Northern Exposure is a wonderful series!!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Thanks for the recommendations Rebecca. I may have to give them both a try :-)

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Penny Dreadful isn't King Influenced, but is literary influenced with references to Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, Dracula. Set in the 1800's this series is superbly acted and staged. Actors include: Reeve Carney, Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper (Rose from Doctor Who), Danny Sapani, Harry Treadaway, Josh Hartnett.

I'm looking forward to watching more Penny Dreadful. It is Bloody Good! :-)

[Meran]

Penny Dreadful is one of the darkest, most intriguing shows out there.

I saw an ad for Twin Peaks just last week, so it's coming.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Penny Dreadful is on Showtime.

[Barbara]

Penny Dreadful is so dark I had to take a break from it !!!! I have the 1st season on DVD so I eventually will go back to it because I have friends who love it.....maybe I wasn't in the mood cause I'm normally a fan of dark!!

Speaking of Dark - I went to the movie theater today and saw THE WITCH. HOLY HELL!

[Barbara]

Dustin......Stephen King says The Witch scared him so there ya go.....it must be really rough!!! Lol

[Ken]

How about True Detective on HBO? The first season was very good. Second season not so much. In fact, the speculation is season three will reprise Harrelson and McConaughey returning to figure out WTF happened to season two.

I haven't watched it. I'll have to keep it in mind and give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation (at least Season One) :-)

It's a bit Dark for my taste. Yikes! This one and The Purge just fill me with darkness. This past weekend I watched Dead Pool and Eddie the Eagle - those are more my pace :-)

[Barbara]

I'm not a fan of the Purge movies either. I'm looking forward to Deadpool though.

I saw Zootopia yesterday and it was really cute :-) What a message and I loved them sloths.

[Barbara]

Sloths are always entertaining!!!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I never finished watching The X-Files Season 10. I guess I should get back to that :-)

[Jim]

I know this is an old thread but I have a question for all of the group. Has anyone watched the Netflix series "Stranger Things"? I just watched the first two episodes and I am getting a serious Koontz vibe from it. Just wondering if it is just me.

I would like to watch Stranger Things but I am too old school for Netflix at this time.

[Barbara]

Stranger Things is amazing good....but it's an homage to Stephen King.....2nd Season starts late October so def finish Season 1.

[Matthew]

Stranger Things is mostly an homage to King BUT I do believe there's some Koontz love there too. The local diner in the show is called The Hideaway and a scene transition featured the neon sign "HIDEAWAY" in such a way it took up the whole TV screen. I may be reading WAY too much into that, but I think that was a wink, wink at Koontz's book title.

[Jim]

I definitely see the homage to King but I do feel a little Koontz. Like I said I am only on the second episode so I don't have a clue what is going on. But I am assuming the girl and the monster come from the same lab and have a connection. I cannot help but think of "Watchers" and the connection between Einstein (I know it is a dog instead of a girl) and the beast escaping from the lab.
