Top Six Best X-Files Moments (with Dijar Tengri)



I have a guest writer with me today! Please welcome my brother, Dijar Tengri, who has joined me so we can list six of our most beloved moments of the X-files in the anticipation of the Grand Revival. We grew up watching the X-files together, and I can't imagine our childhood without that spooky music playing in the background. So, of course, we're going to do this list together.  

And if you're wondering why there's only six best moments, and not ten (we humans do love the decimal numeral system), it's purely symbolic. You see, there's six episodes in the revival, so our list is going to have six moments. Of course, there are way more moments and scenes  that deserve to be on the list, and there are some favourites that didn't make the final cut.


1. The Hearing - Redux II
 
This scene from season 5 opener is probably the most intense moment we've experienced while watching TV. Scully is dying of cancer, Mulder is facing murder allegations. There is so much at stake. Will he try and save his own skin by blaming everything on Skinner?
 
 


2. Conversation on a rock - Quagmire
 
This scene showcases how well-written the dialogues always were. After their boat goes down because of an alligator attack (or is it a prehistoric monster?), Scully and Mulder are sitting on a rock in the lake, discussing their obsessions, and life choices.
 
 
  

3. Scully, are you there? - Colony
 
This is the cliffhanger in the middle of season 2. We're not going to spoil the surprise in case you haven't seen this episode yet (which you totally should). Suffice it to say this is the cliffhanger that got us hooked on the X-files again years after the final episode. It's been so long, and we didn't remember this moment at all. Total shocker.

 


4. The first meeting - Pilot
 
Possibly the best first meeting in a TV-show. This scene has a great dialogue, and it sets the tone for Mulder and Scully's relationship for the rest of the series. The friendly banter, the "Believer vs. Skeptic", the flirting, it all began with this scene.


 
5. Almost kiss - Small Potatoes

Shippers love this moment, which is kind of ironic because it wasn't Mulder who tried to kiss Scully. It was Eddie Van Blundht, the shape shifter impersonating Mulder. The best moment is when the real Mulder bursts into Scully's apartment, only to find Scully and "himself" in their "almost" moment. Oh, the awkwardness...



 
6.  Humbug - the whole episode.
 
 Humbug is the first comedic episode of the series. It was written by Darin Morgan (aka Eddie Van Blundht), who delivered some of the best and funniest episodes. Mulder and Scully investigate a murder in a colony of circus freaks and it's nearly impossible to pick just one best moment in this episode. Here's a sneak peak. Watch it, before Youtube takes the video down for copyright issues.

Musing Mondays

Musing Mondays is an original meme created by A Daily Rhythm . This week's random question: Have you ever chosen a book mostly because of its cover art and then regretted it because the content didn't live up to your expectations? Three words: Pride, prejudice, zombies. I mostly read this book because of the upcoming movie adaptation, but it was the cover art that made this book stand out from all the other titles on my "maybe" list. The image of a high society zombie girl, created by Doogie Horner was basically a spoof of William Beechey's painting of Marcia Fox (thank you, Wikipedia). It's a funny and provocative artwork that promises an equally funny and provocative story. Alas, the story is boring and the humour is dull and juvenile. Image source: Wikipedia

Thursday Quotables (Feb 4)

Welcome to Thursday Quotables,  a weekly meme hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies . Every Thursday you can post a quote from a book that you're currently reading. It can be meaningful, funny, a real tearjerker or just something beautifully written. You decide. Click on the link above if you want to learn more. First of all, my latest post - Top Ten Futuristic Worlds I Want to Live in - got six likes on Google+. I don't think I ever had this many likes in the short time that I've been running this blog, so I'm a little surprised, but also grateful. A big thanks to you guys :) Back to the meme... Orange is the New Black is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. While writing about her experience as inmate at a women's prison, Piper Kerman tackles some very serious issues about American judicial system and the treatment of inmates. The book is sad and disturbing on a multitude of levels. But at the same time, there is a lot of humour and...

Audiobook Review: The Man in the High Castle

Image source: Audible Title: The Man in the High Castle Author: Philip K. Dick Year of publishing: 1962 I listened to: Audiobook by Brilliance Audio Narrated by: Jeff Cummings It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some 20 years earlier the United States lost a war, and is now occupied jointly by Nazi Germany and Japan. I streamed The Man in the High Castle on Audible, and it took me about two weeks to finish it. And while for the most part I enjoyed both the story and the narration, I have to say I was a little disappointed. Cummings, I thought, did a very good job narrating this book. Aside from having a voice that's nice to listen to, he gave great performances, portraying very diverse characters in this book. While I found his German and Japanese accents comical at first, I then got used to them. So much about...
