In the ’90s, being cool was essentially synonymous with watching The X-Files. In the pre-GIF age, you’d go to the local newsagency, pick up your latest copy of TV Hits (#RIP) and plaster your walls with posters of Mulder and Scully, and devour the pages within to find out what you were in for when you watched the latest episode. Well folks, like all good things from the ’90s, The X-Files are back with a vengeance, baby. 14 years after the original series concluded, PEDESTRIAN.TV has partnered up with NETWORK TEN to take a little walk down memory lane and get excited about all the reasons we can’t wait for the return of X-Files, which premieres at 8:30pm Sunday on TEN.
When Mulder told the biggest lie the show ever saw, but the ~truth~ was still out there.
And when he told this equally big lie.
When they accidentally summed up millennials with Peter Pan syndrome perfectly.
When we were so engrossed in the show that we literally became this dashing GIF of Mulder staring at a screen.
When the sexual tension was too much to bear.
When you were like “Same, Scully. Same”.
And when Scully was like “yeah uh huh sure Mulder whatever you say m8”.
When you suddenly got very, very thirsty.
When Scully served up the perfect “U srs?” face.
When Mulder had approximately zero chill.
When you couldn’t get enough of the theme tune. Ever.
And when you were obsessed with this sick ’90s remix of the tune.
When Mulder was a true conversationalist.
And when we needed this very important, timely question answered.
The truth is STILL OUT THERE, you guys, and you can check it all out from 8:30pm Sunday on TEN.
