Genuinely One Of The Worst Things That’s Happened To Television In The Last Few Years (exacerbated

children existing in public spaces is genuinely like. necessary for the continuation of society. it doesnt have to be your kids you dont have to volunteer at a daycare or whatever but you need to be able to tolerate the presence of someone who is learning how to exist as a human and interact with people

The X-Files S1E2

- action sequence right of the bat, nice

- I think that guy messed up the count

- that rash is NASTY

- it's the meme music!!!!

- that is..... that is the shittiest, most low-budget ass title sequence I've ever seen I love it

- GILLIAN ANDERSON

- sir that is not how you approach a coworker

- "it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon Agent Mulder" these chuckleheads are flirting already

- (sorry I'm still thinking about that title sequence. It's oddly..... refreshing??)

- guy at the bar is sus

- ah yes, it was the Russians excuse

- don't corner people in the restroom. It's disgusting and violating and disgusting

- (like really, is anyone else tired of those highly specialised prestige TV intros? I'm getting worked up about something I didn't even realize was bothering me)

- Mulder gets in trouble bc he refuses to stop investigating..... and now he has tiny scary lady working with him. Worst Fucking Nightmare

- damn she pretty

- I refuse to believe this wet cat loser can coo- his phone is tapped!!! and he's being watched!!!

- HIS HAND ON HER BACK

- "the government is not above the law" HAHAAHAHAHHA (internal sobbing intensifies)

- that man is Gone (hope he gets better)

- alas some people deal with trauma by pretending it doesn't exist

- height difference

- SUCKER

- she's gonna have a damn awful crick in her neck

- oooh light show, also how many apple boxes is she standing on?

- spies? terrorists? nah stoned kids

- fed thosw dumbasses dinner and dropped them off at home? Mulder and Scully you have my heart

- Scully looks so cute when she's smiling her "you idiot" smile (that's what it's called now, no arguments)

- Roswell! Wasn't that also a show?

- Mulder's kinda gotta a point

- "Mulder you're crazy" no hesitation, none, love it

- please stop making women run in heels, also that smile. Why are you smiling like that at Mulder, Scully?

- 'came back wrong' is one of my favourite tropes, I love this

- it's not him. Clone? Brainwashing? Selective memory wipe?

- Mulder's kinda got a point again

- Mulder's got jokes

- Scully can't watch Mulder being hurt. Second episode, this is the second episode

- "something else?" She is so done with him

- this groundwork being laid as to how both their thought processes work is really well done

- Scully's face when she hears the car

- I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the kids helped him. If a single camera caught them, they could be in serious trouble, I mean, look what they're doing to their own soldiers

- Scully misses the proof again

- no don't hurt the wet cat loser!!!

- they cut the phone lines didn't they?

- hey that actor that shows up in a lot of shows in bit parts. Get that paycheck sir

- so Mulder was right beat for beat. Experimental aircraft derived from UFO technology. The poor pilots were collateral damage

- reporter guy??? Dammit Scully left her gun

- he was the one in the car earlier! Also love it no hesitation from Scully

- get his ass Scully

- man those kids are so good. Came back to tell her about Mulder. I headcannon nothing bad ever happens to them and they live long happy lives

- they're wiping his memory

- wait the security guy wipes at his eye right after the scene Mulder is administered something in his eye (thematic parallel). Is this base keeping even it's own security on a tight memory leash? Sheesh

- Scully.... took an army security guy hostage.... to save Mulder..... in the second episode

- (screams)

- yeah he knows she'll shoot his ass. Keep cooperating asshole

- Mulder! What did they do to my boy?!

- shut up asshole

- dammit Mulder saw a UFO and they took that away from him. Y'all gonna catch these hands

- that poor woman

- I think Scully's scared, she can't quite look at Mulder for long

- she makes a point to mention in her report that she saw those weird lights too

- you walked all that way to conspicuously have that conversation in the middle of an empty football field??

- is this guy supposed to be the Deep Throat? As in THAT Deep Throat?

2005 TV changed lives oh my god

what do you mean lin manuel miranda dropped a hamilton nightcore album today i dont see anyone talking about this. Are you guys aware

x files studies but this time I tired to achieve that VHS feeling. I very vaguely remember watching some episodes as a kid, and I think this is as close as I've ever got to recreating that memory of a small, grainy tv in a dark room

and what are we going to do when the HP series comes out and we start seeing a resurgence of the fandom here including gifsets and fics. like are u guys gonna bring up your neurodivergence and cry "can we separate the art from the artist!!!!! you dont need to pay to watch it!!!!!its my comfort show and I'm DEPRESSED and AUTISTIC"

what then

Day 4 of Criminal Minds Evolution Week!

Here's everything we know about season 18 so far:

The season is going to be focused on JJ and Tara

The official plot summary for the season is "six months after fellow inmates attacked the notorious Sicarius Killer aka Elias Voit, leading his restless followers on the dark web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. In order to stop this nefarious group from killing more innocents, the BAU is forced to once again work in concert with an increasingly unpredictable Voit, who of course has his own agenda"

The episodes are called: 'Swimmer's Calculus', 'The Zookeeper', 'Time to Say Goodbye', 'I'm Fine, It's Fine. Everything is Fine', 'The Brutal Man', 'Hell is Empty...', 'All the Devils are Here', 'Tara', 'CollateRal', 'The Disciple'

Episode 1 will air on May 8th and the episodes will continue to air weekly after that (according to TVLine)

The summary for episode 1 is "when bodies wash up ashore in Maryland, autopsies reveal a new threat". The summary for episode 2 is "Voit awakens from his coma, the BAU discovers a dormant Network killer"

Sandy Jareau (JJ's mom), Henry Lamontagne, and Vincent Orlov (Voit's lawyer) are all confirmed to be returning (either through photos from set or through interviews with Erica Messer)

Two new characters, Dr. Ochoa played by Aimee Garcia and an unknown character played by Linda Lavin

Dr. Ochoa is "one of the country's leading neuropsychiatrists who is assigned to help a high-profile patient recover from his injury-induced brain trauma [who] clashes with Alvez, who believes in a more aggressive approach than her gentle approach"

Spencer Reid will be returning for a cameo. It will be for a major life event and fans will be happy about the reason why he returns according to Erica Messer and Paget Brewster

This season will be more about standalone cases rather than one overarching storyline (but the unsubs will still be connected through Voit's network)

Scenes for s18 have been filmed at a cemetary, JJ's house, and a hospital

Voit is going to be more vulnerable this season and we're going to see a different side of him

At the beginning of the season, Rossi is being investigated by internal affairs for Voit's attack

Here's a list of all the promo photos organized by episode!

X-Files S1E1

- that's a pretty cool title screen

- * woman running in the woods at night * yeah this was made in the 90s

- ooooh aliens (so soon?)

- sir, why are you touching a dead body with your bare fingertips??

- sheriff's shady af

- GILLIAN ANDERSON

- the fashion is very very 90s, also she's so tiny

- cigarette man is sus

- Title Card

- so she's being assigned to essentially ruin this man's career/hyperfixation?

- of course he's in the basement (so was the BAU at first but Jason Gideon and David Rossi got em outta there and into a private jet *sigh* I miss Reid)

- that has to be an iconic line right?

- HyperfixationTM

- and thus the ship that invented shipping meets (Spirk are the still forefathers tho)

- sir, sir, you are staring

- wait they did something cool here. Mulder was introduced as a character in a conversation with Scully and Scully was introduced in a conversation with Mulder

- she rewrote Einstein? He read her dissertation?

- he's so excited someone's listening to him. Oh my God, is Mulder a wet cat loser?

- she's a Skeptic

- "the answers are there, you just have to know where to look" they're going to become the FBI's worst fucking nightmare aren't they

- ma'am what was that smile??

- will her airplane phobia come up again? I think her airplane phobia will come up again

- ew sunflower seeds

- how many apple boxes is the tiny doctor sitting on?

- medical examiner's shady af

- the height difference

- what Final Destination bullshit was that?

- that is a whole ass alien body

- loser cat let me work!!! (He's absolutely definitely a cat)

- ma'am that was not funny

- ahhh the days of dynamic camera work and actual colour grading that doesn't make you wanna weep

- prediction time: Peggy did it

- they're doing a good job of establishing that Mulder is actually the experienced agent and Scully's very green

- so the conversation earlier in the office more or less says that the FBI's been trying to shut down the X-Files for a while. Mulder is probably hella jaded and cynical when it comes to partners, he's made it clear he knows Scully's there to spy on him and yet... he's not blaming her for it, he's listening to her, working with her. What is this?

- tell me she did not just pick up dirt from a crime scene and shove it into her pocket

- I fucking knew the sheriff was shady

- why are you just holding out that dirt in his rental car and touching it with your bare hands??!?!?!?!?

- scully don't ruin his eureka moment (Time is a universal invariance is a great line tho)

- mulder looked cute as hell when he opened the door

- THE HUG????

- ar you kidding me?? Are you fucking kidding me???? They've known each other 24 hours and they're already physically (Scully) and metaphorically (Mulder) stripping down in front of each other????? This is the FIRST EPISODE?????????

- ok I've calmed down

- is there actually a conspiracy here? Or is it a bait and switch?

- also he gave her the bed and sat on the floor

- nvm my prediction was wrong

- the watch!

- oh yeah, there's a conspiracy here

- the ME's daughter?

- blood coming out of a hidden tube is very obviously blood coming out of a hidden tube

- it's the sheriff son isn't it?

- if Supernatural has taught me anything (beside soul-numbing grief and mind- breaking psychological torture), it's incredibly hard to dig a grave actually

- he starts to lose hope she's not actually with him and she immediately tells about the watch. If I'm already looking for a void to scream into during the first episode, I'm gonna be dead by the end of this show aren't I?

- it is the sheriff's son

- *takes fortifying breath* now Scully's convinced it's the son but Mulder's asking her to be cautious because she's gonna have to write all this down in a report. And she's so taken aback by this caution for her sake, she actually takes a minute

- immediately comes up with a scientific way to make it make sense. Worst Fucking Nightmare

- sheriff knew and was covering for him, bastard

- Scully conveniently and continuously missing the proof is gonna be a Thing isn't it

- he got decent proof aliens exist and he ran to check on Scully

- ok smolder holder

- they're looking at each other across a two-way mirror

- that implant is Checkov's gun

- see even she knows the cigarette man is sus

- he called her because he couldn't sleep??? They met 48 HOURS AGO (I don't actually know how many days have passed in total but my point STILL SATNDS)

- the Pentagon? Definitely a conspiracy
