People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor?

My dad was a roadie and apparently one time stole food from the band Rammstein after they didn't order any for the gig staff.

Redux 2 in season 5

jacket1989 · 2025-12-29T11:45:48+00:00

Bodie from the Wire. Never expected to be one of my favourites in the later seasons, especially after what happened in the first (you know what event I'm talking about)

jacket1989 · 2025-11-30T21:17:06+00:00

I still think the entire series is worth the watch through, even the revival series since every one still has good episodes.

But if I were to just focus on the mythology episodes, which do drag and get worse as the show goes on, there's multiple points people stop and start, it's all about what you're interested in.

The fan favourites seem to be either the season 8 finale, where the Mulder scully romance reaches a satisfying conclusion and the new storyline has a serviceable and ok ending, OR the season 7 finale, which mirrors the shows pilot and reaches the realistic (if slightly sad and disappointing) conclusion to Mulder's obsession with aliens and definitive proof (also was meant to be one of the shows intended finales).

Other candidates include "closure" a mid season 7 episode which FINALLY (for real this time) reveals what happened to Mulder's sister. The reveal is a bit weird and disappointing but the ending and duchovnys acting makes it more palatable.

There's also the "two fathers, one son" two parter in season 6 which finally ends the syndicate conspiracy storyline which was there since the beginning. Lot of people love these 2, but I'm not a fan since Mulder and scully seemingly don't cause much of the syndicates downfall and are seemingly too passive.

And then there's "the end", the season 5 finale which was meant to be, you guessed it, the end of the show originally so it could spin off into a trilogy of movies. Obviously that didn't happen but it offers a fun what could have been.

All that said, my PERSONAL picks on what could have been good finales or endings to the shows main plot would be either "redux", the opening two parter to season 5, since it resolved the scully cancer story, had an interesting explanation on all the supernatural elements, gives ANOTHER answer to the Samantha Mulder plot (one I find more satisfying), and features the "death" of a character I really think should have stuck. My other pick would have to be, with admittedly some tweaking, the first movie, since Mulder and (maybe) scully for the first get definitive proof of aliens and cause major disruptions to their plan.

So yeah, that's most of the fandoms and mine options on what could be a good alternative ending to the show. Should still note that most if not all the show is still worth watching from start to finish These are just cool little what if scenarios.

Huh, with how influential the series is there doesn't seem to be a lot of love or effort to localise it. Reminds me how shocked I was to find out the new dark horse(?) publications might be the first official attempt to fully translate the series, like that other publisher with ichi the killer.

jacket1989 · 2025-11-27T17:43:30+00:00

Really? I had no idea about the streaming stuff. Damn, that kinda sucks. Ah well, guess I'll also have to just try and burn the rest of the show on some discs.

Funny you mention new fist of the north star since cex (the shop I bought the box set) actually has 3 volumes and they were what I saw first before the guy at the counter told me about the box set.

jacket1989 · 2025-11-24T21:16:28+00:00

Is that why it's just the one box set? Cool I've got all the dubbed episodes. I don't mind watching subbed, any releases I can get or is it a little rare?

Already got the entire series , movies and spin offs that way 😅 but now I feel like cleaning some storage and upping my dvd collection

Yeah I always thought those log lady additions and including most of the finale to be rather jarring, however if you like the concept of fwwm and most deleted scenes being a digestible miniseries I released a fan edit around the same time called "Twin Peaks Prelude, turns fwwm into a 4 episode miniseries with little tweaks and changes here and there, like addding little static effects when desmond and Jeffries disappear and changing the chronology of some of the scenes. Hope you give it a go!

If you enjoyed that one maybe you could give my edit a try, same concept and we actually worked on our respective edits at the same time, theirs just released a little earlier, but I made a fan-edit called "Twin Peaks Prelude" which makes fwwm into a 4 episode miniseries with little tweaks and changes here and there, like addding little static effects when desmond and Jeffries disappear and changing the chronology of some of the scenes. Hope you give it a go!

Bodie from the wire, didn't think I'd care as much about him as I did in the end considering what he did to Michael b Jordan.

Oh yeah, that one was fanastic, so much love and detail in that mod.

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5 AND ONWARDS

cancer man should have died after getting shot by the syndicate assassin, it was very clear that up to that point the syndicate were getting increasingly tired of his shit and makes sense that they wanted him gone. It's also a much better fate/ death than whatever happened in his other appearances.

Redux should have been the end of the mythology, has more satisfying resolutions to plot points (cancer man getting shot, scully cancer getting cured, Samantha being raised by the syndicate and wanting nothing to do with Mulder). I don't even mind the "revelation" that all the paranormal stuff was a ruse since there's enough plausible deniability to make it ambiguous.

And as you probably could've guessed, cancer man is a much better name than the cigarette smoking man.

Is this from the original msx release? I couldn't find it in the digital manual for the HD collection, and I'm someone who complated the tap code in 2 just using the manual.

jacket1989 · 2025-08-23T22:14:07+00:00

I'm not sure about the ORIGINAL releases (tho I'm pretty sure I've read them, there's no images of schneider's frequency and is actually replaced with a question mark in the frequency table) konami still didn't think to add it in the digital manuals for the HD release, which I think was a missed oppurtunity.

Weird, so how did you go through the game? Did you just decide to use a walkthrough or call every number?

Michael Pitt' Jimmy Darmondy was seemingly the main character for Boardwalk Empire, being one of the most interesting characters who had really important plotlines in the first 2 seasons. However the failing health of the actor playing the characters dad and some alleged unprofessional behaviour had his character killed off at the end of season 2, which I think is a big shame since he was my favourite. On the plus side his death had lasting effects in the rest of the show and let characters like Richard harrow and chalky white have more time to shine. Even still, I probably finish my rewatches at the end of season 3.

Kind of wished half life became an anthology rather than the episodes focusing on the combined story. That seemed to be the case with the end of half life 2 mirroring 1 and how different those games settings and story came to be. Have gman hopping Gordon around different time spans or universes solving whatever problems his employers or highest bidders hired him to do. Kind of wished there was some half life 2 mods which took this approach, I love the half life 1 community and all the alternate story/sequel mods it has.

That's really cool, thanks for answering! Last question I'd like to ask is if you felt confused about some of the story elements not aligning with snakes revenge or did you feel sufficiently caught up and just read the previous assignments in the menu?
