I have postulated that the CSM did something to Scully in the one where he kidnaps her (I can't believe I'm blanking on the name!), and that's how she was able to conceive and have a super soldier child like William. There are a couple of theories out there I think.  |
William was NOT a super soldier. Remember? Super soldiers were just a cover. All super soldiers were ACTUALLY alien replacements, like billy miles *or however u spell his name* people who were abducted and then brought back as aliens. So since william was never abducted, he couldnt be a super soldier  |
Au contraire: super soldiers/alien replacments: they're just alien-human hybrids created by the government so the names are interchangeable. The people that were returned after abduction were infected with a virus that tranformed their genome: that's how they became super soldiers. THat's a lot of work for the government: to adbuct, infect, etc. all these ppl. But William was the result of an experiment (possibly perpetrated by the CSM, possibly by Mrs. Scully's "Lizzy", who knows?) that produced an organic super soldier/alien hybrid. It was a miracle that he was healthy but he had the telepathic abilities of the aliens we'd seen before on the show: he was connected to them by the "turned on" alien DNA (like Gibson Praise, except more). See?

All I really remember was Mulder and Scully coming to the house, for some reason (I can't remember), and almost getting killed. They were some really grewsome looking traps! The people's (people who lived at that house) Mother was strapped to a board and slid underneath one of their beds. And, each night they would slide her out and talk to her and make plans about something, I really forgot what the rest of the episode was about, but the grewsome parts stuck out to me. |
THta episode was called "Home", beginning of the fourth season. It was banned from being shown on television after its original airing and then they brought it back on Halloween of 2001 I think. It's about an inbred family called the Peacocks who have been inbreeding since the Civil War. They are isolated and run their home as if it were still the Civil War. The mother was in a car accident that kileld the fatehr and left her a quadriplegic: that's why she's strapped to the board. She is the mother of all of the sons, but the two younger ones are fatherd by the older brother. The horribly deformed baby they find in the beginning is the result of this inbreeding: it has more genetic disorders than are possible and when they run a DNA test it has too many chromosomes. It's the episode with the famous "Scully-as-mom" stuff: "Well Scully just find yourself a man with a flawless genetic make-up and start punching out the little Uber-Scullys." "Well Mulder what about your family?"

That one was awesome! "Chinga" is actually about a demented doll... and then the little girls thoughts are channeled through it... or something. I haven't seen it in a long time, but I remember that it was good |
Thta episode was written by Stephen King and you're right, the doll is the one who is perpetrating the crimes if you will. "I want to play!" lol It is a very gruesome episode: classic Stephen King. "Chinga" actually means f*** in Mexican, which ironically King didn't know when he wrote the episode and he came under a lot of fire for.
I'm the resident X-Files geek, can you tell?

^I would have to agree with that. Even the damn furby is now facing the wall,  I did like the X-Files movie, though.

Loved "Chinga". Especially loved the part about how Scully can't seem to have a normal vacation .
The movie is great too: taht's really how I was introduced to the series. Of course some ppl saw it and said "Hmm well that was nice ok on with life" and I turned it into a life but oh well...
We Philes are like Trekkies: we just can't seem to extricate the show from life.

^ Well, of course the X-Files is real How could it not be. Alien conspiracies... government conspiracies... all that jazz. it opened my mind up to all the lies... and that the truth is out there And I'm gonna be an FBI agent just like Mulder and Scully 
I got introduced to it when I saw a commercial for the episode "Signs and Wonders" and I thought... hey, that looks good, I'll have to watch it. So I did, and I guessed at the very beginning who the real bad guy was and I was right. I thought that was awesome so then I was hooked.

^lol Signs and Wonders is good but the "Old School" XF is the real hard-core stuff. The newer stuff is a little more accessible I think but the old stuf is really quirky and weird and exciting in a way that the new stuff doesn't quite match sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole show. But sometimes the older stuff is better.
I think about joining the Bureau sometimes but they really don't have the jurisdiction that Mulder and Scully have in the show: they handle far pettier and less exciting crimes, unless you work with behavioural sciences. http://dana_scully1964.tripod.com/forensiclinks is a link to the site I have compile a lot of information on serial crime, profiling, and the more real aspects of the X-Files. Beware though, it's greusome at times and it's all real, not a television show.

Technically, all the "super soldiers" were just like mulder, if I'm not mistaken. People who were abducted and experimented on and then "replaced" with aliens. Or perhaps turned into a new alien/human creature or whatever. BUT William was never abducted nor transformed, therefore he cannot be considered a "super soldier" in classic terms

^^ No no: the point is that the aliens were trying to gestate a super soldier inside the bodies of the abductees, much like children. However, until Scully's pregnancy they had been unable to create the organic super soldier they sought to create. In reality, William was the ultimate Super Soldier until Spender injected him with magnetite.

No, no. I definatly agree. The old XF eps were the best. season 3 was probably the best of weird freaky eps. I haven't seen a lot of seaon three though, which kind of sucks but oh well.
and yeah, I realize the thing about the FBI... not being like the show. I was thinking about behavioral science, that would be cool. more of a criminal profiler. I think that would be pretty fun. but I mostly just want the badge and the gun

lol Yeah I'm wicked excited, except that I guess it's going to be a stand-alone type episode before the end of season 9? Season 8? something like that. So I guess D&R won't be in it and it won't deal with the mythology, which is a shame. Oh well.

^^ 99 was when Duchovny left, or announce he was leaving anyway, so they were all in an uproar about it. Those talks weren't very serious though: ppl thought the show was ending w/o David so they said, "Well they'll have to do another movie."

omg had the funniest convo w/a freshman on the bus today. He kept asking me questions about TXF and of course ppl always want to know the stuff that takes about six seasons worth of show to explain. And the mythology is so convoluted that it's hard to explain it to someone succinctly. It was HILARIOUS. The kid was soooo confused.

A lot of it is just confusing *goes cross eyed* You have to watch the series about 3 times to get it
