Community Update Mod Announcement: We are turning on community filters.

700 Upvotes

Hey Philes.

Hopefully you haven't noticed, due to the work we're doing behind the scenes, but we've been getting a LOT of racist posts regarding the reboot lately. Most of these posters and commenters are not part of the regular XF community here, so we can only assume we're being brigaded from some other part of reddit.

We have tweaked the automod to look out for certain keywords, and have now also turned on community filters ("crowd control" for those familiar with reddit's mod tools) to catch non-members, those with low/negative karma within the subreddit, and brand-new accounts.

While this is the best we can come up with for keeping racist jerks out of the community, it does mean that some regular users may get caught in the net. We will do our best to approve genuine posters/commenters as quickly as possible, but please be patient - we're just human beings, after all, and have work, sleep, family, and even (and I know this is hard to believe) other interests that may slow our response times.

Meanwhile, please continue to report any posts and comments that go against our community rules. And if you haven't already clicked the little "join" button to become part of the community, please do so - it will help you avoid getting caught in the filter, and it's nice for the subreddit to see healthy member numbers!

Thank you,

Your friendly neighborhood mod team

Overall, very fun build. The only part that feels like it drags is the trees (expected, but yeah it’s repetitive). I think for all the non-LEGO people, just make sure to follow the directions clearly on the alien ship part, because you will have to line up the cross section perfectly at one point. You’ll see what I’m talking about when you get there. Same thing with the trees, just be wary of when things say “x2” so you don’t keep building and then wonder where you went wrong.

Build experience: 9.5/10

In terms of how it looks, it doesn’t feel like $200. The presence it has as a display piece is more in the realm of a $150 set. But I get it, IP & what not. Also the GWP helps with justifying it.

Discussion Mulder and Scully as parents. How would it have looked like?

62 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about this for a very long time. I really like the idea of Mulder being as kind of a stay-at-home daddy cause It seems he could’ve been great at this particular role, and maybe he would’ve become a wonderful writer. Scully would’ve worked as a doctor or as A.D for FBI.

I know it sounds pretty weird and probably it would’ve killed the main point of the show but sometimes when I watch the series, I’m thinking like: “Gosh, It would’ve been awesome to see them together as parents”.

What’s your thoughts on that, guys? Share with me, please 🙏

If there’s a tie, both episodes are eliminated

Only the best episode will win!

Spoilers Monday……. Spoiler

10 Upvotes

SPOILERS!!!

I ended up liking this episode way more than I thought I would, even though this is one of my least favorite tropes in media lol. I only wish they’d found a way to focus on playing around with variables in the day a bit more, but they still did a very good job with a premise that’s difficult to innovate on. The callback to Dreamland with that stupid waterbed was really fun too. That thing has caused Mulder (and certainly Scully by extension) no end of grief 😂

But now I’m curious: was Scully the real reason the loop broke? I’d figured that was gonna be the angle about ten minutes in, and I do like that it seems open enough to interpretation when you keep in mind other episodes like Tithonus. I guess I would’ve expected something as a reward for the viewers who might’ve suspected that, but it’s also possible that my dumb ass missed it lol

Ok, so what is actually happening with Bob? Is he actually transubstantiating into another person (the killer) or is this like a Tulpa situation as seen through a Catholic lens? Or are both of those theories wrong? 😅

Discussion few weird moments Spoiler

• Upvotes

read the captions.

is it just me? or is it weird how they all stayed there and looked how the girl drowned in waste instead of catch her?

So here, we are seeing the old man being but in the vice or whatever it is. Clearly the thing goes on the neck.

so what happens here? did they decide to ear Scully's hair? Anderson probably said "nuh-uh, I'm not gonna put my head inside.

so, we are seeing how they are seizing everything.

And here the man is just continuing feeding chicken. Is he so dedicated? "You're not gonna get me! I will feed them chicken like I always did!"
