xfiles-behind-the-scenes:

As anticipated, the miniseries feels like a time capsule. There’s no attempt to incorporate new trends in horror storytelling, such as the sprinting zombies of “28 Days Later” or the torture-traps of “Saw” or “The Cabin in the Woods.” Even the fashion has a nineties vibe. At one point, Mulder talks about looking something up on “the Net.” He and Scully are as dowdy and shambolic as ever.

I, for one, am glad. I would’ve been disappointed if “The X-Files” had returned as a slick, modern reboot. Today, pop culture worships badasses. Everyone cultivates a fashionable, skin-deep vulnerability; underneath, they’re superheroes with jujitsu skills and heads full of put-downs. “The X-Files” pre-dates this trend. Often, Mulder and Scully were confused and powerless; in the end, the bad guys got away, slinking back into the woods (or the Pentagon) to lurk forevermore. In that sense, “The X-Files” was pretty realistic, when you think about it.

“Before I worked for SHIELD, I, uh… Well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skill set. I didn’t care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD’s radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me. He made a different call.“

4 chefs complete in a contest to determine who is the best.

But they are not given certain ingredients they must use. They can use whatever they want.

They are given… the name of the dish.

The judge says, “Make me ‘Purple Nirvana’” and we get to watch one chef make au gratin blue potatoes, another make a blueberry shortcake, etc. The worst dish is eliminated until one chef wins.

I would watch the hell out of this omg

“sci fi and fantasy are polar opposites! they can’t coexist!!”

what is this, the genre binary?

So, like, which one of you is the fantasy and which one is the sci-fi?

Who wears the blaster in this relationship?

Yeah, yeah, I know you’re both *annoying finger quotes* “NERDS”, but which one of you takes the ring to Mordor?
