[@Cairo198]

will you talk about how Sandy onGrease changes straight hair to curly ...?

[@Cairo198]

and how Sandy only does it after the man spends most of the year trying to change his behavior and even his extracurricular activities for her. ... ...?

[@MyKrabi]

Love her character .... wanted to go into medicine because of GIllian Anderson's performance! And let's be honest ... that woman's skills & career choices have aged like a fine vintage ....

[@Solar_wind13]

And you're a world class doctor now right?

[@dinovrsrobot]

Me but with engineering. I wanted to write field reports so bad!! 🥰

[@MyKrabi]

@@Solar_wind13 lol my immigrant parents were mortified ... I went into another STEM field instead ....

[@charlottewood4933]

This happened a lot. It’s called The Scully Effect

[@zaydk2196]

Gillian Anderson as Agent Dana Scully is one of TV's most important characters.

[@michaelstone5298]

To a point the show did not end well

[@letmeseemm]

I know! I used to love her character so much! I watched X files religiously with my dad and wrote a paper about how I wanted to work for the FBI when I grew up like her!

[@zaydk2196]

@@letmeseemm Read about something dubbed the 'Scully Effect'. Basically how Dana Scully encouraged countless women to pursue STEM

[@alexwixom4599]

That's why I like Ghost Files. They keep it fun and unserious with their own Molder/Skully dynamic. I personally enjoy Puppet History a lot more, but I'm a History nerd. 😅👻📂

[@Solar_wind13]

Puppet history so goated. You're a man of taste i see 😂

[@deann6256]

Scully is my hero!!! 🖤👽

[@SpectrumPOV]

Scooby-Doo was the ultimate skeptic TV show. All of the ghosts and monsters ended up being a person in a mask.

[@Solar_wind13]

Great comment

[@skallywalla502]

I see Dana Scully, I click ❤

[@KsyuSmith]

Scully gave me confidence to be myself, be smart and outspoken and brave

[@alainastone7840]

Not me saying the lines along with Scully!

[@lkeke35]

Yep! I've watched waaay too much X-Files, but its been a while so...time for another re-watch!

[@RomanPhilosopher]

The Truth is Out There

[@lkeke35]

I Want To Believe!

[@simbeau]

I was a believer for many years but it was crop circles that made me realize I wasn't thinking correctly. Finding out they were man made was a real awakening moment for me.

[@clautastic9186]

I had a hard time believing but my mom experienced something weird and me too, makes it confusing.

[@lepetitenellie]

Dana Scully is one of my TOP favorite heroines of all time. This Take was on Skepticism but I request an analysis of Agent Scully the character please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@helenablavatsky9136]

The X-Files...💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@lkeke35]

That last one was why I really appreciated the Ghost Brothers show. They always approached they were open minded, but had at least one skeptic in the trio. They went to those places where they knew Black people had been enslaved, or worked, and died, and they recognized them as their ancestors and approached their targets with respect, not like a challenge or issuing orders.

[@tylerhackner9731]

The truth is out there

[@inesatt1313]

Yeah,the truth no matter how much times passes reveals itself

[@thetake]

Thanks for watching? Let us know: are you a skeptic, true believer, or somewhere in between? And, what's the most convincing evidence you've ever seen of paranormal phenomena? (Or, if you're a 100% skeptic, the funniest 'evidence' you've seen someone try to pass off as legit?) ➡Up next, check out our recent video on the Killer Rich People Trope: kzbin.info/www/bejne/novPl2l5fMqWobM Or our video analyzing Weeds' Nancy Botwin's *real* issue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDXpnVua76tZ5I

[@lkeke35]

I am somewhere in the middle. I want to believe some things because I've experienced all kinds of things there is no rational explanation because it only involved how I felt. But I do love Science and prefer getting some kind of proof. I am definitely a Scully!

[@earnyourimmortality]

The truth is below sea level & underground 🤔

[@Cairo198]

will you talk about how Sandy onGrease changes straight hair to curly and how she only does it after the man, Danny, spends most of the year trying to change his behavior and even his extracurricular activities for her....?

[@sjw4life546]

Although I don't have proof, I tend to believe that there are other forms of life in the universe. Obviously not the hollywoodified, green or gray humanoid version of life, it could be something more unremarkable than that, but life nonetheless

[@SeekSomethingMore]

Hollywood got those depictions from people's real-life accounts.

[@michaelstone5298]

If you mention Houdini you might also mention James Randi another skeptic magician.

[@M3bullet]

Please do the mad scientist trope

[@ianvd6454]

Why aren't you guys making a video on the SUPERNATURAL series. It's a classic. I grew up watching it. It has everything humour, love for family, demons, angels, Sam and Dean dying and coming back so many times, time travel, resurrection..i can keep going on but you get the gist. So why haven't your subscribers seen a video on this series. Seriously you guys should work on it. I am 31 and still haven't come across a series that has the same energy.

[@silverphantomd1449]

The scientists working on astrobiology and emergence of life (my PhD director for exemple) are absolutely convinced that there is life elsewhere. Life may appear whereever the conditions are right. But the sad truth is, unless there is life in our solar system (ancient life on Mars, Jupiter or Saturn's moons), we might never reach it (physics laws and all) :/. It is likely that the real question is : is there somewhere an "intelligent" life like humans, likely to build spaceships and to explore the outside of their planet ? It is a lot less obvious. Bacterial life apear very early in the history of planet Earth, but we came in comparison very late (and I am not sure how long we are going to last ^^'). And the growth of the brain was a huge gamble on the point of view of evolution, as human children remains defenceless for quite a number of yet and are entirely dependent of the group around them. But scientists would be already over the moon if they could find a single, fossilized cell of extraterrial life, it would be a crazy step forward !

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

Well I am a believer in realigion but when it comes to things like supernatural I would need a little bit of proof

[@tross-lj2eb]

without a doubt the absolute WORST show that I love

[@sinnsage]

Yes but, mulder is *always* right lol

[@clautastic9186]

Not always (small potato)
