the new X-Files

[Mike Mercury]

After two epidodes (of 6 planned), I am liking it. Most of the original series main characters are in the show; with series creator Chris Carter, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

The chemistry between Duchovny and Anderson is still there. Looking forward to the third installment of this mini-series.

Used it as an excuse to start over with season 1 on Netflix and hit the new ones on the DVR.

I heard the second episode went off like a bomb... some are saying the episode was as good as the show ever was before...

[Mike Mercury]

the first episode of the miniseries was dedicated to some catching-up, and also showing the X-Files team well accustomed to 21st century technology aids.

Apparently Ford is a sponsor...

I was never an X-Files junkie, but I did watch the first episode of Lucifer last night on Fox. Hadn't laughed that hard at a network show in a while. Nice car the guy drives too.

DVR set to record the series.

I'm trying to find out more about the '62. I think it's a fake, a repop body on a tube chassis, or possibly an S10 chassis...

The wheel offset seems to indicate a non-OEM chassis, or at least suspension, under the body. The body may be genuine, or a very well dressed repop...

I'm trying to find out if they bought/built the car, or rented/borrowed it. Will be interesting to see how much it features in the actual series, vs the pilot episode, which was filmed months in advance of the series order.

I missed the 2nd half of the first ep due to football running over.

[Steve Austin]

Its almost like it was continued from last season. Still good stuff and even the smoking man is still in the background. Hard to believe its been so many years. :cert:

[Mike Mercury]

Cancer man, for the win.

Although he utters only four audible words in the entire first season of the show, the Smoking Man eventually develops into the series' primary antagonist.

In "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man", he is said to have grown up an orphan, his father having been executed by electric chair in Louisiana for treason for working as a Soviet spy, and his mother having died of lung cancer from smoking. In 1962, he was stationed along with Bill Mulder (Mulders father) at the US Army Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He was known for having a long history in black ops and American intelligence. He was potentially involved in the training of Cuban rebels in the Bay of Pigs. During a meeting with senior military and intelligence officers, one of them gave him a vague explanation of his father's actions—with a speech describing the nature of unrecognized decisions and sacrifice. He was given the assignment to personally assassinate John F. Kennedy. The mission made him a top secret agent for the U.S. He later assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr., as revealed in "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man", though the veracity of that episode is somewhat unclear.

In later seasons, it is revealed that he is a member of a group known as the Syndicate, a shadowy organization within the United States government. The episode "Two Fathers" reveals his birthname or alias as C.G.B. Spender, and that he was formerly married to Cassandra Spender, with whom he had a son, Jeffrey Spender. He recruits FBI Special Agent Diana Fowley to be a subordinate of his because she has a close relationship with Mulder.
In "One Son", Jeffrey finds out that his father, the Smoking Man, forced his mother Cassandra to undergo medical treatments that led to several nervous breakdowns during his childhood years. When the Smoking Man finds out, he seemingly kills Jeffrey. Knowing of the colonization plan, the Alien rebels return to Earth to try to persuade the Syndicate to join their side against their war with the Colonists. Not believing in the strength of the Alien rebels, the Syndicate members meet at El Rico Air Base to be transported to a spaceship to survive the colonization. However, the rebels appear instead of the Colonists and kill all remaining chief members of the Syndicate. Together with Fowley, the Smoking Man escapes the destruction of the Syndicate.

Later in the sixth season, there is more evidence that suggested that the Smoking Man is Mulder's biological father. Eventually in "The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati", Fowley comes in disagreement with him. Because of his plans to kill Mulder, Fowley helps Scully in her investigation to locate Mulder, which leads to her death. After the destruction of the Syndicate, the Smoking Man started to operate as he wished. However, his cancer resurfaced, and he began using a wheelchair. In the end, Alex Krycek and Marita Covarrubias betray him in the episode "Requiem", throwing him down a flight of stairs, where they presume him to be dead.

Until the ninth season episode "William", the Smoking Man is presumed dead. It is learned that his attempted murder of his son failed, which led him to subject his son to terrible experiments. In the series finale, "The Truth", Mulder and Scully travel through remote New Mexico and reach a pueblo where a "wise man" reputedly lives: he is, in fact, the Smoking Man. He is shown to be in the same condition as when he disappeared, but has degenerated further. He lives a primitive life in hiding from the "New" Syndicate. He tells Mulder and Scully all he has left to reveal (including the fact that the aliens are scheduled to invade in 2012), and shortly after he is attacked by a rocket shot from a helicopter ordered by Knowle Rohrer.

Not liking the liberal spin.
