It´s an old episode where he is an ace piano player only when he´s really drunk.

Wiliam: Heeeeeere is Johnny!

To be honest I had pretty low expectations, so it wasn’t all that surprising to me. They hadn’t really given themselves much to work with, apart from all this William stuff which I never found that gripping. It all felt a bit disconnected like most of the later finales. I don’t think they really knew where to go with it. As demonstrated by the fact that I found their standalone episodes much more enjoyable than the mythology ones.

It’s also a bit disappointing that there was yet another ‘I’m pregnant!’ moment. They’ve done that before! Mulder and Scully don’t need that to have a bond. It serves no purpose other than a cheap GASP.

I think I’m always going to think of my favourite TV series as X Files seasons 1-7.

Trivia: Maddy is played by David Duchovny’s daughter, West Duchovny.

In the end the finale episode was constructed much like stuff we´ve seen countless times before. It reminded me a lot of Firestarter for instance. Replace “The Shop” with the government, George C Scott with William B Davis and pyromaniac Drew Barrymore with that adolescent brat I don´t give a crap about.

Or it was also a lot like Scanners even down to the head exploding. For one second I thought the Truck Driver was being so creepy it wouldn´t have surprised me had he suddenly turned into Large Marge from Pee Wee´s Big Adventure. But eventually they pulled a “Dan Akroyd from the Twilight Zone Movie cold open”, so it was close, I guess.

Technically they leave the doors open for pretty much everything at this point. I don´t believe for a single second that the Smoker can be killed by some ordinary bullets when he survived A MISSILE TO THE FACE, or was that because he somehow got a share of William´s invincibility? Who the hell knows, I don´t care anymore…

The 90s are finally over folks. Long gone…

But… but… What about the 80s?

/edit: I know, Spongebob is later. But I’m still searching a similar picture from the 80s. It seems that we hadn’t any reasons to cry in the 80s - at least not as much as in the 70s and 90s…

I like your post!

But the first Smurfs comic appeared in 1958… :slight_smile:

But the show started in 1982.

That doesn’t count… Or does it…? :thinking:

And Scully pregnant? There will be season 12?

In hindsight it´s ironic that she was the first to announce that she wouldn´t be available for a continuation.

Just when I was about to envy you that you have 10 seasons of the show on amazon prime while we don´t, I found out that I in fact can watch the UK version of Prime that also has a few other shows and movies we don´t have in germany. :smiley:

Score! :grinning: are you going to watch some old episodes now?

Maybe, yes. I could handpick a couple of standalone classics or something.

Are you allowed to set up a satellite dish? In most regions of Germany you are able to receive the UK satellites and thus several English channels.

I have satellite in fact. And I get a couple of boring news stations from around the world including the UK. But most others are encrypted.

Oh! Well I’m sorry our important updates are so dull to you, Milan. Edith’s :100: th birthday is very exciting to some people! Tshhhh.
