S11 Rewatch - Favorite Moments

#xf rewatch #txf #revival #season 11 #msr #favorite moments #this #plus one #the lost art of the forehead sweat #ghouli #rm9sbg93zxjz #rm9 #nothing lasts forever

so I’m watching rm9 and a few things have occurred to me that I’ve never really paid attention to before.

1. the control panel in scully’s house is so high up that she has to crane her neck to look at it properly, which I’m just like...hilarious. Ma’am why did you choose to rent a place that has a control panel that you have to stand at an awkward angle to use.

2. why, when you are next to your bed and you pick your vibrator up off the floor is your instinct not to put it in the bedside drawer but to put it in your pocket. Why is that something anyone would do?

3. when she puts her flashlight on its on strobe mode. Ma’am, who the fuck is using strobe mode to find their way through their house. Stop. Now.

4. what is the purpose of that warehouse? what are they making? because like...weird 3d printing gun? weird robot dogs? thats the real x file I think.

#I feel like I have this vague memory of some guy on the internet saying rm9 wasn't canon because we'd never seen mulder and scully eat sushi #and that has stuck with me because...genuinely what sort of logic is that?#weve never seen them fuck but we know it happens #txf #rm9 #x files thoughts

I remember you don't like rm9 but I don't remember why?

let me count the ways!!! I think it’s a missed opportunity to write a mostly silent X-Files episode (an incredible concept) only to keep Mulder and Scully – who are so good at unspoken communication – apart and alone for so much of it. and then in the first scene they’re only not talking because they’re looking at their phones so much, even though the rest of the revival played up how old school they are (which I think sometimes went too extreme in the other direction; Mulder would love having a phone at his fingertips, but I also don’t think they’d sit around on a date with each other and read the news online. you can’t just decide to code them as addicted to their phones for one episode for the sake of commentary). it was out of character for Scully, who went on the run from the FBI, to live in that smart house. and it’s bleak as shit! thematically!! “we have to be better teachers” to the robots? dark. and not in a way that makes it an interestingly cynical thematic counterpoint to a show that’s generally rooted in humanism and hope. rm9 completely replaces both the syndicate (corruption on txf is human, not alien) and the unknown (the show’s analog for faith) with technology, and it doesn’t seem to realize how hollow that is. the last scene is pitch perfect and SO warm, and I think the rest of the episode could have worked better if it were more obviously a fable, like how pmp is in black and white to set it apart. but as is it doesn’t work for me.
