What pissed me off about this show is that at like the end of every season Scully sees aliens and then after the season finale she doesn't believe anymore.
Arguably, real humans do this too, "rationalize" events they don't understand. Maybe that results in supernatural assessments of natural events, or maybe that results in rational explanations of supernatural events. Depends on who you are, huh?
Is that any weirder than Mulder who saw literal supernatural events and is still an atheist, in a complete opposite from the religious Scully? Not surprised X-Files writers also wrote Supernatural episodes, where Dean Winchester literally did not believe in God and angels before meeting Castiel.
When I was a kid the theme song was the most terrifying thing ever. My mom loved the show and would watch it and i would run into my room and put the pillow over my head or else my night was ruined. Good times.
Same, I hated the theme song it used to come on around 1 every Saturday after the Saturday morning cartoons. This and the outer limits used to scare me
i cant remember which episode it was but i believe it looked like a burn victim/alien/like looked like freddy kruger with no clothes and no claw gloves. i seen that i was like 5-6 years old… theme song came on right after… left me traumatized for years i only finally got over it like jr sr year of highschool. im 23 now lmao. i love this show though. :)
The "Greys" in the movie are super aggressive because they're essentially newborns. It's explained in the first episode of the TV Season 6 after the movie that the aliens need an extremely hot, high pressure environment to fully mature into the typical Greys most people know
The part when sandy was shivering cold and the dude left to Jim’s said oh not you to sandy sorry you’re just have to wait till you get home. So dandy goes into his house and cranks up the ac to HI the next day his buddy walks in saying cmon sandy let’s go and walks to seeing sandy dead on the couch with the a hole in the stomach where Alien burst out
My father once walked into the living room when I was watching the movie and he remarked something about the cavemen having very disheveled hair but bothering to give themselves a nice close shave. He thought it was ridiculous.
@George Thomas it literally can move from body to body. There was a episode where these shipwreck scavengers discovered a missing and crashed ww2 fighter plane where there was this black eyed human feigning for help and when the guy in the diving suit went down this creature jumps from the long dead pilots body (the alien was in) into to the guy (something with looking them in the eyes) and the guy in dive suit had that black swirling shii in his eyes pointing out that this black stuff can jump from human to human like invasion of the bodysnatchers it would kill another human to take its place (which the long chain of crazy events is how scully n Mulder are behind its trail 👣) the show is extremely dense and each episode has its own relation to the main story but episodic that events play out over time while still being fresh and having scary to funny based episodes (like the old baseball ep where there were these evil aliens in kkk costumes riding horses with torches[had me cracking up at the visual of racist aliens yall should check that scene out ! ) to get at the good alien(the baseball player that is the black man who is a good alien and his fellow teammates/one of the cops who are humans helping him out among the team - hilarious light hearted and wholesome episode )yeh I loved these ones - the show is wonderful in this aspect . I know I'm probably not explaining these the best but just binge the show its so worth it :)
There's a later episode of the series that implies that humans ourselves were actually created essentially as livestock for the aliens. There was a boy with telepathic abilities in a later episode whose DNA had some form of evidence towards this.
@Hylian Orphan when i saw the 2 part episode with the boss that was a brain sucking bug that turnd people into zombies was fairly messed up. I like the woods one that had the cocoon bugs.

After that I stopped on that channel and watched that whole episode. For a while I was scared of sewers and anything that has a man hole. Lol
I remember my parents letting me watch an episode of X Files when I was small. It was about a creature that could only be seen in the dark, appearing human(?) in the light.

This Show has always been this dumb and nonsensical. Full of cliches, plot holes, cliches and plot holes. Funny enough though, other shows are still worse. Much. But still; this made it so i could never finish this Show. Especially as they kept it going for way longer than it should have; trying to milk it dry.

Check out the show old show "Fringe" - some of the actors from the X-Files appeared in it too and that show would (once in a while) do their own versions of X-Files topics. There was even an episode that for a brief second, as the camera pans across an apartment interior - there's an X-Files episode playing on the TV. This series is mostly about bizarre bio-warfare experiments and a parallel universe - no UFO stuff. Several episodes into the first season, the equivalent of the serious version of the "Men In Black" begin showing up - except in this series, they're called "The Observers." A pattern is then set up for the series - they'll appear on one episode then there will be 6 or 7 other episodes in between of other topics and then the MIB will appear again.
One of the very best videos I have ever seen on not only the X Files, but also the cooler aspects of that show in regards to aliens, virology, etc. Seriously, I’m genuinely impressed.
Your analysis is better thought out than the source material. By constant teasing and never paying off, X files itself was my vaccine for shows like Twin Peaks and Lost.
We used to have a pandemic respond team but they where fired because the government felt like it was a waste of money. The following year covid broke out.
@@sethkoffler2571 400,000 IS not deadly, compared to the amount infected... It's had a major effect on vulnerable population, locking down the MASSIVE majority that doesn't get get very hard by it over a fraction of the population is ridiculous. H1N1 was literally the same thing, but it affected YOUNGER people, instead of older people... It's ridiculous calling on the world to lock down over some old fucks
Pardon me as I drop my nerd cred: The X-Files aint nothing but the table top rpg Stalking the Night Fantastic published in 1984 by Tri Tac games. Who also made a game called Fringeworthy, where the govt finds a Staga...I mean a gate that teleports across time and space to other gates.
Except a decent finale, that last season/last episode of the series original run was pretty darn bad. That and it was pretty obvious that the main plot was shifting around a bit, the show had the potential to be so much better as a whole.
Grew up watching the X-Files, still get apprehensive when I hear the theme. As far as the extra terrestrials, they bear a striking resemblance to the Xenomorph life cycle (the Protomorph from Prometheus) perhaps an offshoot/evolution of that species? Would make one hell of a crossover.
Roanoke - I fucking love each and every single one of your videos. So many movies that I watched in my younger years that I almost have long forgotten, and seeing all these recaps/breakdowns is fucking amazing.
biggest problem with the x files was carter and the writers couldnt further this backstory without over complicatng it to the point no one cared or were so confused they just gave up
Carter also couldn't bring himself to end the show. Once the Syndicate was killed, the agreement with the 'aliens' was null and void. The Colonists had no reason to honor it. Carter knew this. But he also wanted the show to run for "20 years". So, he tried to take the cheap way out - by re-writing everything that he had done before. It didn't exactly work. Some stories don't have happy endings. Mulder being exposed as having the truth, only for the Colonists to raze everything to the ground a few days later would have been a fitting end to the series. The Outer Limits did that several times throughout its run. But Carter was too afraid to do that, and too greedy for the money he was getting from Fox. Sometimes you have to know when to give it up.
A far better televised myth than television Game of Thrones. Capable male and strong smart female protagonists. An actual tight consistent narrative. And a generally satisfying closure to the whole series.
Gotta love them dyslexic Mayans. Hell, if Trump... oh shoot, sorry, I mean BLM spies who have 'pretended' to be white KKK members for decades... aka Fox News speculative bullshit.... causes civil war, gets the codes and decides to nuke China? Goodbye Earth. p.s. this is a joke, so please keep the flaming to a minimum.
Your ideas on the greys originally being viral in origin got me thinking, if you ever cover the tyranids, perhaps they had similar origins? Using their own viral engines to modify themselves with samples of useful dna, or even implanting their own dna through a similar process to create the genestealer hybrids? Their blood has been described as a “sentient colony of single celled organisms” before, as well as each organ being its own separate being living in symbiosis with the whole. Idk just spitballing here, I’m no scientist.
My father used to watch this all the time. Had the entire show on VHS, and later DVD. He thought it was a good idea to have his very young son watch them as well, and then could never figure out why his son was scare of the shower and toilet for years afterwards ("Agua Mala" was the episode that did that).
Love your content Roanoke! been binging a bunch of it these past few weeks and it's really neat to delve deeper into the biology of all these horror/sci-fi diseases and/or monsters. Educational and entertaining! Something I would be interested in seeing explained a bit more would be the Typhon species from the game Prey. Lots of brain stuff mostly. Would like to see your take on how Neuromods work and the morphology of the various forms of Typhon organisms. Keep up the great work, man!
Who else would LOVE to see him talk about the 'aliens' from call of duty ghosts extinction? Considering there are so many different varieties I feel like it would be multiple episodes long but it would be very entertaining
@@kylekissack4633 yea their rendition of treyarchs zombies but less zombies and barriers and more hordes of aliens look it up, called extinction it's badass although the story isnt
I’ve never watched the X Files because it seemed creepy to me when I was a kid. After watching 7 min of this video I had to stop because this looks like a really cool show! I don’t want anything spoiled. I will have to come back to this after I watch the show/movies!
I loved this show. My mom use to watch this when I was growing up. There was an episode that horrified me. It was in season 6 they had these killer bees in the walls in some post office.
I always thought the positive pressure in the dome was to "push" the bees out when they were released. Then a light negative pressure would be created to gently "pull" them back in when they flew back to the dome - assuming the dome was housing a massive hive.
Positive and negative pressure is used in Operating Theatres as well. Same thing what you described with bees but with pathogens and other potentially not nice things.
@@RoanokeGaming " Yo Way Yo Home the Rey Yo way Rah zah rom Bruningee Yo Way Yo Home the Rey Yo way Rah zah rom Bruningee Yo Way Rah zah rom Bruningee." this was sung by a human race of cultured romantic dreamers expecting to die in battle. Bruningee led by Kie made a finale stand against the divine order. Kie watched his own planet be destroyed by the order. as he crashed through the divine Shadow decided that Kie would be turned into an assasin. Kie's body was transported to the Bioscolars where assasins had been kept until they were needed. Millenia ago then after a man named Stanely Tweetle. a robot head unit number 790 and love slave part Cluster lizard named Zev wound up on a huge bug ship known as the Lexx. with help from Stan and Zev Kie was able to retrieve his memories in life and kill his divine Shadow. the lightzone was the good section where good existed. and in the dark zone was full of evil which is where Stan doesn't wanna be. heretics that tried to steal the Lexx died and the key to the Lexx was passed on to Stanley in death of a heretic he became that ships captain. Ezenbar Prince a ruler of this planet fire is another mystery. the desert planet with no water had been at war with this other planet called water. that planet had very little land on it some played games others had gardens on it. and of course Stanley Tweetle enjoyed this one city called Boom Town where people have sex all day long. anyway Prince and another ruler on the planet fire called Duke were rivals. they would die but come back to life whereever and when they chose to. Prince was able to assume whatever form that he decided to be. Mantrid a brilliant dangerous man that worked for the divine order was exilled from it he relied on flying one arm drones to handle any task. Tales from a Parellel Universe is facinating check it out sometime you'll find out more about the Lexx.
This movie always reminds me of the parody episodes in the show ReBoot, where Scully and Mulder (sorry, Fax Modem and Data Nully) show up to investigate disappearances. The "Greys" in the show is actually a singular Web Creature. Great show.
Love this channel bro I was terrified also as a kid watching x files , and other strange UFO story's just wanted to say great work , nice video and I'm subscribed
Awesome vid. X-Files definitely scared me as a kid and the music still gives me an uneasy feeling today lol. Congrats on your marriage and hope the wedding was lovely x
Oh man. The X-Files was my childhood! I'm looking forward to your breakdown. Edit: Just heard you comment about your upcoming wedding. Congratulations! I wish you and your wife a long life of happiness and success.
Roanoke can you do pacific rim and pacific rim uprising? I would love to here you explain the biology of the kaijus and the reason the jeagers requires 2 pilots! Not to mention what happens to Noot. The movies are amazing so I dought you wouldn’t like it.
Very interesting. I'm a physicist, not a biologist, but one thing that strikes me is that if you broke down all of those cells in such a rapid fashion, it would generate a huge amount of heat energy. That might be enough to destroy the viruses, or at lease limit them. After all, we already know that this is how the body protects against viruses in the first place. Also, if somehow there was such a self-sustaining breakdown, it would probably degrade the gelatinous form as well. Anyway, I really like your analysis, subbing.
"A device capable of releasing an energetic concussive force." Is the youtube algorithm censoring really gotten this bad? Also Mulder and Scully getting blamed and discredited when it wasn't really their fault is the point. They know and search for things that the Syndicate don't want exposed so the Syndicate seek to remove their credibility.
Hang around a real working lab, and you’ll realise that many scientists have their own conspiracy theories, though they are more in line with Roanoke’s virus theory rather than fake Moon landing stuff
@@naedanger123 Except viruses and cells emerged at the same time and it's impossible to know which came first; no one has a time machine to go back 3.5 billion years therefore there are 3 main theories but zero concrete facts.
calling anything that isn’t accepted by the masses “cuckoo” is a reactionary mechanism to prevent people from thinking or examining anything that is below the surface of normality.
Anytime you work even somewhat on the edge of what is known will create theories, even conspiracy theories. People thought the idea of germs existing an spreading illness potentially were crazy till it was proven that germs do exist.
I remember seeing the ads for this as a kid and thinking "woah, it's not gonna be a scooby doo episode this time?" I then never saw it as I was too young, what a blast from the past.
One thing you mentioned, regarding how most people who claim to have seen an alien see a 'gray', has a simple explanation. After Close Encounters came out, that's when people started seeing the 'grays'. Before that, alien sightings were far more varied. See the Flatwoods monster, as an example.
Parents didn't like the show. I wasn't banned from it, but I only got to see it the few times my parents weren't already watching something on a primetime night. Then I binged the series as an adult, which is nice because none of this would've made sense to a < 10 year old.
What pissed me off about this show is that at like the end of every season Scully sees aliens and then after the season finale she doesn't believe anymore.

This Show has always been this dumb and nonsensical.
Full of cliches, plot holes, cliches and plot holes.
Funny enough though, other shows are still worse. Much.
But still; this made it so i could never finish this Show.
Especially as they kept it going for way longer than it should have;
trying to milk it dry.
I wish that they would have focused on this story line solely.
Nice, I remember my dad used to watch this when I was about 10. I never understood what really was going on but understood enough to be scared lol.
Viruses are so weird that they nowadays have started to threaten the "three domains" theory. It will be interesting to follow this research for sure
@@HelghastStalker Well the thory of the three domain system. It's atheory that places life in three different domains. Archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote.

@@Jokerlevin It’s not just viruses anymore they have discovered new bacteria that don’t fit anywhere so they’ll eventually have to make a new domain. Ironically they named them loki bacteria because they fucked everything up

4:39 fun fact, in this scene he's supposed to be pissing against an independence day poster
I was hoping that would be mentioned, at least we remember.
Yay! The X-files. I grew up with the X-files and Twin Peaks and nothing has come close to being so awesome ever since.
Check out the show old show "Fringe" - some of the actors from the X-Files appeared in it too and that show would (once in a while) do their own versions of X-Files topics. There was even an episode that for a brief second, as the camera pans across an apartment interior - there's an X-Files episode playing on the TV. This series is mostly about bizarre bio-warfare experiments and a parallel universe - no UFO stuff. Several episodes into the first season, the equivalent of the serious version of the "Men In Black" begin showing up - except in this series, they're called "The Observers." A pattern is then set up for the series - they'll appear on one episode then there will be 6 or 7 other episodes in between of other topics and then the MIB will appear again.
One of the very best videos I have ever seen on not only the X Files, but also the cooler aspects of that show in regards to aliens, virology, etc.
Seriously, I’m genuinely impressed.
Your analysis is better thought out than the source material.
By constant teasing and never paying off, X files itself was my vaccine for shows like Twin Peaks and Lost.
The least realistic aspect of this is how the U.s. reacts to a deadly virus
We used to have a pandemic respond team but they where fired because the government felt like it was a waste of money. The following year covid broke out.
Not really. There's a difference between covid and an actual deadly virus. We are having rights stripped over some dead old people
@@TheLongDon the point is to keep it from mutating in different countries there actually is a much more aggressive form of the virus rn
@@TheLongDon Marx would disapprove
400,000 = not deadly
@@sethkoffler2571 400,000 IS not deadly, compared to the amount infected... It's had a major effect on vulnerable population, locking down the MASSIVE majority that doesn't get get very hard by it over a fraction of the population is ridiculous. H1N1 was literally the same thing, but it affected YOUNGER people, instead of older people... It's ridiculous calling on the world to lock down over some old fucks
Hmm, wonder if Roanoke could biologically explain the mutated humanoids from sweet home.
After reading the web comic. Things get real wild and real logic defying lol. Would be a fun video to watch.
Would be awesome to see
I love this idea
"First we'll take a look at the feet..."
Its not possible because its not scientific.
The X-Files is litterally just the writers playing Delta Green and turning their sessions into episodes.
Except Delta Green is very clearly based on the X Files, which sort of makes that joke fall apart.
@@maximusflaximus362 what's Delta Green?
@@gavenatkins7953 think it was something like d&d but instead of slaying princesses and laying dragons you were like an scp field operative
@@emilianorios4761 wait wtf?????? That's sounds awesome!!
Pardon me as I drop my nerd cred: The X-Files aint nothing but the table top rpg Stalking the Night Fantastic published in 1984 by Tri Tac games. Who also made a game called Fringeworthy, where the govt finds a Staga...I mean a gate that teleports across time and space to other gates.
Omg I thought I was the only one who was scared of the X files music and opening credits
You are right. The music has the potential to drive people insane if they listen too hard of it. Thanks for this!
You are not alone…still love it though!
The X-Files had everything that is so show should ever have.
I was hoping that Chris Carter would do a show about the Maidan situation.
Except a decent finale, that last season/last episode of the series original run was pretty darn bad. That and it was pretty obvious that the main plot was shifting around a bit, the show had the potential to be so much better as a whole.
Grew up watching the X-Files, still get apprehensive when I hear the theme. As far as the extra terrestrials, they bear a striking resemblance to the Xenomorph life cycle (the Protomorph from Prometheus) perhaps an offshoot/evolution of that species? Would make one hell of a crossover.
Roanoke - I fucking love each and every single one of your videos. So many movies that I watched in my younger years that I almost have long forgotten, and seeing all these recaps/breakdowns is fucking amazing.
"They just go through apoptosis and it's pretty metal" yeah 🤘
biggest problem with the x files was carter and the writers couldnt further this backstory without over complicatng it to the point no one cared or were so confused they just gave up
Carter also couldn't bring himself to end the show. Once the Syndicate was killed, the agreement with the 'aliens' was null and void. The Colonists had no reason to honor it. Carter knew this. But he also wanted the show to run for "20 years". So, he tried to take the cheap way out - by re-writing everything that he had done before. It didn't exactly work.
Some stories don't have happy endings. Mulder being exposed as having the truth, only for the Colonists to raze everything to the ground a few days later would have been a fitting end to the series. The Outer Limits did that several times throughout its run. But Carter was too afraid to do that, and too greedy for the money he was getting from Fox. Sometimes you have to know when to give it up.
A far better televised myth than television Game of Thrones. Capable male and strong smart female protagonists. An actual tight consistent narrative. And a generally satisfying closure to the whole series.
.... satisfying?
what are you watching nobody thinks X Files' mythos is satisfying
@@thebasedgodmax1163Yes. Satisfying. " Every body" huh?

Also in the Fifth Element.. how could I forget that one
Your ideas on the greys originally being viral in origin got me thinking, if you ever cover the tyranids, perhaps they had similar origins? Using their own viral engines to modify themselves with samples of useful dna, or even implanting their own dna through a similar process to create the genestealer hybrids? Their blood has been described as a “sentient colony of single celled organisms” before, as well as each organ being its own separate being living in symbiosis with the whole. Idk just spitballing here, I’m no scientist.

My father used to watch this all the time. Had the entire show on VHS, and later DVD. He thought it was a good idea to have his very young son watch them as well, and then could never figure out why his son was scare of the shower and toilet for years afterwards ("Agua Mala" was the episode that did that).
Love your content Roanoke! been binging a bunch of it these past few weeks and it's really neat to delve deeper into the biology of all these horror/sci-fi diseases and/or monsters. Educational and entertaining!
Something I would be interested in seeing explained a bit more would be the Typhon species from the game Prey. Lots of brain stuff mostly. Would like to see your take on how Neuromods work and the morphology of the various forms of Typhon organisms.
Keep up the great work, man!

I loved this show. My mom use to watch this when I was growing up. There was an episode that horrified me. It was in season 6 they had these killer bees in the walls in some post office.
I always thought the positive pressure in the dome was to "push" the bees out when they were released. Then a light negative pressure would be created to gently "pull" them back in when they flew back to the dome - assuming the dome was housing a massive hive.
Positive and negative pressure is used in Operating Theatres as well. Same thing what you described with bees but with pathogens and other potentially not nice things.
Awesome video! Ever since the pandemic started I've always thought of what an alien virus would be like
Read The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. It is about a virus that was unleashed after a comet struck the Earth
This sounds like the plot of a David Icke book.
Gotta Love the Halo music in the background

" Yo Way Yo Home the Rey Yo way Rah zah rom Bruningee Yo Way Yo Home the Rey Yo way Rah zah rom Bruningee Yo Way Rah zah rom Bruningee."
this was sung by a human race of cultured romantic dreamers expecting to die in battle. Bruningee led by Kie made a finale stand against the divine order.
Kie watched his own planet be destroyed by the order. as he crashed through the divine Shadow decided that Kie would be turned into an assasin.
Kie's body was transported to the
Bioscolars where assasins had been kept until they were needed.
Millenia ago then after a man named Stanely Tweetle. a robot head unit number 790 and love slave part Cluster lizard named Zev wound up on a huge bug ship known as the Lexx.
with help from Stan and Zev Kie was able to retrieve his memories in life and kill his divine Shadow. the lightzone was the good section where good existed.
and in the dark zone was full of evil which is where Stan doesn't wanna be.
heretics that tried to steal the Lexx died and the key to the Lexx was passed on to Stanley in death of a heretic he became that ships captain.
Ezenbar Prince a ruler of this planet fire is another mystery. the desert planet with no water had been at war with this other planet called water. that planet had very little land on it some played games others had gardens on it.
and of course Stanley Tweetle enjoyed this one city called Boom Town where people have sex all day long.
anyway Prince and another ruler on the planet fire called Duke were rivals.
they would die but come back to life whereever and when they chose to.
Prince was able to assume whatever form that he decided to be.
Mantrid a brilliant dangerous man that worked for the divine order was exilled from it he relied on flying one arm drones to handle any task.
Tales from a Parellel Universe is facinating check it out sometime you'll find out more about the Lexx.
Every time I watch Roanoke's videos, I cringe at my own memories when I failed biology class despite owning the textbook.
This movie always reminds me of the parody episodes in the show ReBoot, where Scully and Mulder (sorry, Fax Modem and Data Nully) show up to investigate disappearances. The "Greys" in the show is actually a singular Web Creature. Great show.

Who goes threre ring a bell? The Thing? This film is just like the thing.
Well done Video! Thanks!
Very interesting. I'm a physicist, not a biologist, but one thing that strikes me is that if you broke down all of those cells in such a rapid fashion, it would generate a huge amount of heat energy. That might be enough to destroy the viruses, or at lease limit them. After all, we already know that this is how the body protects against viruses in the first place.
Also, if somehow there was such a self-sustaining breakdown, it would probably degrade the gelatinous form as well.
Anyway, I really like your analysis, subbing.
"A device capable of releasing an energetic concussive force."
Is the youtube algorithm censoring really gotten this bad?
Also Mulder and Scully getting blamed and discredited when it wasn't really their fault is the point. They know and search for things that the Syndicate don't want exposed so the Syndicate seek to remove their credibility.

I like how Roanoke is a legitimate scientist but still has a bunch conspiracy theory. Goes from fact/hypothesis to cuckoo.
Hang around a real working lab, and you’ll realise that many scientists have their own conspiracy theories, though they are more in line with Roanoke’s virus theory rather than fake Moon landing stuff
@@naedanger123 Except viruses and cells emerged at the same time and it's impossible to know which came first; no one has a time machine to go back 3.5 billion years therefore there are 3 main theories but zero concrete facts.
@@gmork1090 No offence mate, but I wasn’t asking. I was just telling OP about a little quirk that many scientists I have worked with have.
calling anything that isn’t accepted by the masses “cuckoo” is a reactionary mechanism to prevent people from thinking or examining anything that is below the surface of normality.
Anytime you work even somewhat on the edge of what is known will create theories, even conspiracy theories. People thought the idea of germs existing an spreading illness potentially were crazy till it was proven that germs do exist.
I remember seeing the ads for this as a kid and thinking "woah, it's not gonna be a scooby doo episode this time?"
I then never saw it as I was too young, what a blast from the past.
Cool vid. Thank you. Joy to watch
Sounds a lot like the story the matrix is telling us.
One thing you mentioned, regarding how most people who claim to have seen an alien see a 'gray', has a simple explanation.
After Close Encounters came out, that's when people started seeing the 'grays'. Before that, alien sightings were far more varied. See the Flatwoods monster, as an example.
Don't worry Roanoke the theme music, used to scare me as well.
Duuude, you and me both!! My brother'd whistle the theme when I was a kid, and it'd genuinely send me into a panic attack lol.
Finally a decent explanation of the story, thanks
TV series "Fringe", literally stole this episode for their pilot episode. The translucent alien skin etc...yeh.
I miss that show. =/
I mean not really since the only thing in common was translucent skin I dont think that's enough to be a rip off
Stephen Kings The Tommyknockers book from 1987 when humans slowly turn into the aliens used the same idea.
Watching this just reminded me of the movie Evolution. That might make for a fun video.
