Everything Wrong With The X-Files: Fight the Future In 18 Minutes Or Less

X-Files: Fight the Future is the first of two X-Files films... I think. I honestly can never remember which one is which. Anyway, this has sins, so we counted them.
Outtakes are here: • Everything Wrong With ...
Next week: animated sins from the last decade, action sins from the '90s

"Going back to the monster of the week" was something I always wondered about, even in the series: Mulder and Scully talk to God and find the ultimate meaning of the Universe one week, and the next week, they're investigating potato chips that can talk. I call that a bit of a letdown.

[@Soundwave927]

The structure of an X Files season was always capped by Mythology episodes. Season Five Finale "The End", as well as other mythology storyline (specifically about the Syndicate acquiring a vaccine from the the Russians) led into the movie and then Season Six "The Beginning" continued with elements from the movie (such as an infected Syndicate scientist, who gestates the aggressive alien, and the agents being interrogated by OPR). Some of the conspiracy was told in the movie and further details were disclosed and resolved in Season Six's epic "Two Fathers/One Son".

[@christopherheckman7957]

@@Soundwave927 True, but I was wondering about what the characters themselves would have thought. Perhaps (and I just thought of this, so someone has probably done it already) the X-Files should be viewed as episodes from two parallel series, one with just the "monster of the week" and one with just the Mythology episodes. If the episodes are divided up this way, do the Mythology episodes form a continuous development? (I wouldn't expect the "monster of the week" episodes to, just by their very nature.)

[@night4345]

At a certain point the "Monster of the Week" episodes are better because at least they get new information and a conclusion. The conspiracy bullshit got out of hand fast and became total nonsense, there's no reason to watch the "mythos" episodes.

[@KodiakGSH]

all of the best episodes are MOTW though. Not only do you find the best character development in MOTW but they are often better written. After your first watch-through there is absolutely no reason to watch any myth arc episodes again.

[@fernandoferreira6293]

Precisely. Linear chronology does not work for lengthy series of this kind. There's only so much that can believeably happen in a single person's life. The episodes shouldn't be connected saving on occasion but rarely.

You hit on something that was one of the main problems of the series: Scully saw weird shit WEEK after WEEK after WEEK...and yet she would default back to square-one skeptic in the next episode. It's like she didn't become more open-minded until Mulder departed the series and suddenly she needed to step into the role of the person who initiated investigated that week's weird shit.

[@tyrone5969]

Denying what you haven't seen, heard, read about, or heard valid secondhand accounts of is one thing. Questioning and investigating what you have seen is entirely reasonable, which scientists and detectives/investigators have to do. Denying that what you've seen and heard firsthand, things you've experienced, which have been done to you, which you've seen physical evidence of, is even possible, much less probable, is a completely different thing. A scientist or investigator who refuses to change their opinions and perspectives once they're given concrete evidence, is just bad at their job

[@LydiaSalem]

WRONG. scully really, rarely ever saw anything. always either just missing it, and not being there. even in THIS movie she is unconcious for the entire alien thing. and then right after in the show they even addressed it in a hearing and they ask her about the alien ship muldar told them about....and she had no choice to tell them she saw nothing, even tho she knew shit was crazy. cause she's not gonna make shit up.

9/11 happened and Carter felt the pessimistic tone, conspiracy theories and mistrust of the govt which were a huge part of the series wasn't what the country needed at the time so he tabled whatever plans he had. He believed the country needed to come together and people needed to trust its leaders. Also the conspiracy theory that arose from the pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen probably affected his descision. The episode was about terrorists that plotted to crash an airliner into a building.

The movie clued the fans in on how bees factor into the conspiracy. Season Four episodes "Herronvolk" and "Zero Sum" involved a vast bee husbandry project run by human clone/drones and a botched trial where people (including a schoolyard full of children) were killed by bees carrying Smallpox. In the movie, the alien virus a.k.a. "black oil", (mostly lying dormant deep in the earth, and otherwise seen being extracted in Tunkuska) was most likely used to infect the bees, who to spread it to the human populace when the aliens that left Earth, returned to colonize our planet.🤓 If you have a conspiracy, why not make it convoluted and complicated beyond belief or comprehension? Series Creator Chris Carter wouldn't have it any other way.

Sin off for me being in love with Scully as a kid. Sin back on for Mulder being literally the luckiest fictional character ever. I used to watch this show every week and it all makes sense how he survived his crazy adventures.

[@1.5Hours]

Thank you. I've been waiting 2 years for this, ever since you did EWW The X-Files Pilot. Nice to wake up to it. Also, a little surprised you didn't sin Mulder's tie at the cornfield scene.

[@ScottKorin]

I just learned that this movie is official called "The X-Files". "Fight the Future" was the tagline but confused people into thinking that was the name of the movie.

[@AngPur]

What is the 2nd movie's title then?

[@DarylCooke]

Sin needs to be removed for asking "How did they get in there?" as you're addressing The Lone Gunmen. That's what they always did, until they sacrificed their lives to save millions of people later.

[@UnitSe7en]

"Back with another one of those cock-blocking bees" is definitely one of the more clever things you've ever come up with.

Monster of the week episodes was the only good thing about the X-Files. The alien BS was tedious and stupid. They should have made a monster X-Files movie and had Darin Morgan write it who was the only talented writer the X-Files had.

They did make a MOTW movie (the 2nd one). It sucked.

@@oragamiowl5031 It wasn't really a monster movie either, at least I do not consider it to be one. I consider it to be a colorless, lifeless blob. I am not sure what the point of that movie was. It also wasn't written by Darin Morgan. Look at his X-File writing credits, the best episodes were his.

[@oragamiowl5031]

@@nobodyimportant7804 I'm not Darin's biggest fan. He's funny and inventive yes but I find him quite bitter and mean. I also don't want to watch him in charge of a 2 hour movie as he'd spend his all time putting Mulder down. That said he'd probably still write a better movie than Carter and Spotnitz, certainly a less problematic and homophobic one. But I agree with you about IWTB: It was a colourless, lifeless blob and don't get me started on Scully's personality change into a bitter manipulative shrew in that movie because I'll go on for hours lol (the gist being that she desperately wants Mulder involved in the case and then when he starts to get invested she threatens to leave him. That's not my Scully!).

Three days later that bee stung me 3 times in my arm while on my bike, she fell into my suit. So i think it's completly possible. PS. I know bees van only Sting once, i was wearing wind protection under my leathers which i think prevented the stringer from getting stuck

The sodas in the machine are generic sodas and there were definitely still machines with generic soda for $.50 when this movie was made, C4 doesn't explode if it's burned, hiding in a cornfield from search helicopters won't work because of thermal/infrared cameras on the helicopters (even when this movie was made), aviaries are for birds while apiaries are for bees, and a massive binocular cliche with the generic binocular shaped view (that's also not how binoculars work).
