Pogledana treća. Zasad dvaput
Najbolja epizoda godine je, ali to nije teško pošto je prošlo tek mjesec dana pa ću reći da je jedna od najboljih epizoda unazad 10 godina, zasad. Vidjet ću kako ću ići daleko. Da je Darin Morgan genijalac nije neka tajna, ali ne postoji niti jedan današnji televizijski pisac koji može napraviti ovako nešto. Ne postoji.
Cijela epizoda je
META što automatski znači više od parodije. Meta filmovi ili u ovom slučaju epizode su one epizode koje predstavljaju određeni žanr/podžanr ili cijelu radnju o samoj seriji. U ovom slučaju, ovo je epizoda o monster of the week epizodama. Epizoda u epizodi. Smiješna je, tužna je i ima najdivniju socijalnu kritiku koju sam vidio pa... ne pamtim otkad. Često su ovakve epizode duboke, a ova nije iznimka.
Posveta starim epizodama i stvarima ima na bacanje.
Spoiler for Hiden:
Mulderove crvene spidosice
https://xfiles20yearslater.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/reddit05.jpg druga sezona, epizoda duane barry. To je postalo toliko legendarno i evo sad napokon opet vidimo hahahahha. Pa onda predivna posveta Kimu Mannersu, jedan od najbitnijih ljudi koji su ikad radili na seriji. Ne samo on, već i onaj drugi spomenik je posvećen čovjeku koji je radio isto na Filesima, ali i na Millenniumu i The Lone Gunmanima.
Pa na kraju novi pas za Scully i odlična referenca na prvog psa Queequeg kojeg je upravo Darin predstavio u svojoj epizodi Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose da bi ga kasnije dao ubiti u jednoj drugoj epizodi, ali je rekao da više nikad ne bi ubio psa tako da ovaj ostaje
A tek kad Scully kaže Mulderu da je besmrtna, još jedan ogroman easter egg i prvi hint na njezinu besmrtnost je isto u Clyde Bruckman epizodi.
Onda stoneri na početku već su bili u dvje epizode u originalnoj seriji.
A tek pregršt instant pamtljiviji dijaloga.
“This is how I like my Mulder ... bat crap crazy.” Duchovny i Gilly su genijalni. Opušteni, zabavni. Mulder proispituje svoj život i upao u krizu srednjih godina a tek scene sa mobitelom
Sporedni likovi odlično odglumljeni, posebno Rhys Darby kao Guy Mann. Donio je humanost svojem liku, a o tome se radi. Osim svih scena sa Mulderom i Scully kad raspravljaju i bacaju one linere, najbolji dio je na groblju i razgovor između Muldera i Guy Manna. Tu je sažeta sva ljudska rasa na način koji nikad prije viđeno. Sami twist je toliko apsurdno dobar da ne mogu vjerovat koliko sam bio iznenađen. Nikad prije nisam vidio takav tiwst
Socijalni komentar je jak, a Darin Morgan to radi najbolje kao i sve ovo sa Meta forama. Epizoda o monster of the week epizodama koja je ispaala smiješna, tužna, postavlja neka ozbiljna pitanja i cijelom našem postojanju i koja nam je svrha na način bez ikakvih klišeja već to radi suptilno kao malo koja druga epizoda moderne televizije.
Oh da, Mulderov zvuk na telefonu
e to vam je pravi primjer Meta fore
X-Filesi o X-Filesima.
I ne, nisam zaboravio
Ma dosta toga sam zaboravio koliko dobrih fora ima. Kasnije se opet gleda, ali cijela scena na groblju i monolog Guy Manna je remek djelo, kao i sama epizoda.
Evo i malo komentara koje sam iskopao sa razno raznih internetskih foruma. Epizoda je jednostavno eksplodirala sa cijelim svijetom. U spoileru komentari jer ih ima dosta.
Spoiler for Hiden:
Man! This episode was an instant classic! Guy Man was an amazing monster of the week! Mulder: Jackalopes don't exist... Guy: Tell that to my friend George! Man this episode made me laugh so much!
One of the top XFiles episodes ever!!!
So fucking funny. This had the humor of a season 4 or 5 episode, with a beautiful amount of meta. 10/10 easily.
That was seriously one of the best episodes of the show, like holy shit.
Yo. This might have immediately jumped into my top five favorite episodes. The trope-reversal. The message. The acting.
When I heard the series was being relaunched I imagined Mulder to have become cynical and skeptical because the internet might have disproved all his theories. This was what I was waiting for.
I think this episode ranks up there with the best comedy X-Files episodes ever! I laughed my ass off like I haven't in quite some time. I wouldn't even know where to begin listing off the best parts because the whole thing was chocked full of great laughs. Loved the Tyler Labine intro though
I actually cried at the end. No shame. SO many delightful easter eggs for a super nerdy fan like me...it was absolutely everything I wanted from a new Morgan episode. Funny as all hell, inventive, sweet, sad...I couldn't agree more; the way that last scene made me feel....like the good old days. This episode made the whole thing worth it.
This episode is an instant classic that can stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the best of The X-Files. Well done, Darin Morgan. I knew you wouldn't disappoint. I really did enjoy the second episode and loved this one. I would say The X-Files revival has been a success so far.
It was brilliant. It was a freaking LOVE LETTER to the show and its fans.
To me, this was literally the best X-Files since probably the first half of season 6, maybe even going further back than that. I'm already considering it an all-timer.
It's actually pretty impressive that they're managing to capture not just the classic X-Files feel, but to use several styles just like the show did in its heyday.
The show had its mythology episodes (My Struggle), typical procedural Monster of the Week episodes (Founder's Mutation), comedic episodes (Were-Man), and its atmospheric horror episodes (most likely Glen Morgan's episode next week).
Fabulous. One of the best episodes of any TV series I've seen over the past year. Genius humor, great twist to the mystery, and I love the tribute to Kim Manners
Watching the episode and hovering over social media, including my own friends who are fans, I noticed people were shitting on this episode in the first 20-30 minutes.
And then that monologue happened.
What a great, fucking brilliant episode. The social commentary was excellent, poking fun at everything and anything. I sincerely loved it and this is the type of oddball type episodes that I am so happy was included in this run. The dialogue and pacing here was great as it felt like there was a lot to this episode as well.
Also, Scully. Holy shit.
This may have been the most clever satire of gender hysteria that I've ever seen. This episode is easily in my top 10 of all time. Darin Morgan is a genius.
This episode had me laughing so hard. One of my top favorite comedy episodes this show has done ever. This is a revival of a show done right. We need more than 6 episodes!
Oh my god I laughed so hard at that classic X files comedy! I haven't seen tv this good in decades and then I wanted to cry at the end ... "I want to believe." Bring the show back, one full season please, I'll be content
I love all of The X Files, but the comedy episodes are always my favorite. And this just dethroned Bad Blood as my favorite episode.
I laughed all the way through the story, and then when the werelizard got to the part with Dana in the phone store I absolutely died. I was laughing so hard I wasn't even making sound anymore.
I don't care what came before, I don't care what comes after, this episode was absolutely perfect and I am so glad it exists. To me the miniseries exists just to give us this one episode. And I am fine with that.
AND MULDER HAVING THE THEME AS HIS RING TONE?!? Icing on the cake. Icing on the freaking cake.
I was giggling throughout the entire episode. The entire scene in the hotel room between Mulder and Scully is an instant classic. Then Mulder's expressions during the entire narration was absolutely genius. And that's not even including the scene with the psychiatrist.
Greatest hour of television ever
Zadnja scena suza u oku
