    I'm here!! I check in virtually every day ..... but see very little
    traffic. Very, Very little! ;-(

    I suppose with the series' hey-days being over twenty years ago, what
    could you expect??

    One of the Australian Free-to-Air channels was re-broadcasting X-Files
    last year. Five nights a week, I think it was. Yum.

    Strangely, it was on what most most would consider as a multi-lingual
    channel. Why?? Well, I suppose it was U.S. English!!

    When I re-watch the series from the beginning it will in fact be the
    first time I watch it in the original English. During the original run
    I was living in Italy, where everything on television is dubbed -- in
    fact very badly.

    Now I can certainly follow the series in English. If my memory were
    fresh I would appreciate the difference in characterisation, and maybe
    be even disturbed by that at the beginning. I find that in Italian male
    voice actor in particular always make an effort to sound virile and
    dramatic, even where the original is different. The Italian voice for
    Hugh Laurie in House is a striking example.

    Do you think that the series is still appealing to younger generations?
    I wonder if the typical entertainment language has already changed too
    much.

    Coolio… nice to see you here. Also nice to see some chatter in the
    newsgroup again.

    I’ve been watching some of the mythology episodes from the start of the
    show up until season 6 or 7. Have enjoyed those. What I notice now is the difference in technology now vs then. Whilst there were computers boy those monitors were chunky and faxes still played a role.

    As I typed, above, one of the Australian Free-to-Air channels replayed
    X-Files last year, even getting up to the cast change where Mulder left
    and was replaced by (someone!!) .... but, then, it seemed that there was
    a completely new series or two where Mulder came back .... and Scully
    had had a Baby with Mulder as the father, I think!!

    Were 'they' trying to get a re-boot/re-sumption up and running??

    Or am I mis-remembering things!!

    The two replacements for Mulder and Scully were played by competent
    actors but could never had the same chemistry. It could not work, and everybody knew it. I curious to see if I would be more or less
    forgiving now.

    You might well be seeing people migrating away from "talk to everyone" systems to a more focused discussion groups. Which the ancient newsgroups are perfect. But I suppose I will still have to limit images to gifs.
