seesthru Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 When I saw the bus driver I knew he was one of them. Hair way too blond! LOL Perhaps the sons are direct clones from the iron lung guy. He might be the one that fertilized the eggs being harvested from the girls... which is kind of creepy if they are his biological daughters... There still has to be a womb to gestate the children in. or wombs. I do wish they had two parted that to maybe flash back to how this was accomplished.

Earthnut Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I totally agree, the episode would have been soooooooooooooooooo much better then it already was if it was in 2 parts, and answered more questions. I believe the viewers would have been even more awed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seesthru Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I think it would also have been sooo cool if they could have done a one nighter on 5/5/2000 to show how it all ended up. The x-files terrible episode showed that there was no y2k apocalypse and of course we now know that there was no apocalypse on 5/5/2000.. would have been kind of sad and funny to see all the children of Iron lung man gathered there with Dennis Hoffman waiting for the non event,having the day pass... and all kind of shrugging and wondering what was next.

FrankBlack2 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I know I was a little disappointed! Everyone kept saying Y2K was going to be IT...computer systems shutting down and not being able to recognize the new date...widespread fear over banks going down, people actually stocking up on canned food and bottled water waiting for "the end"....midnight came and....nada. Zilch. Zippo. I can only imagine how poor Dennis must have felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that Dennis was exhilarated on the inside, but appeared calm and quiet on the outside, even though he knew he was a part of their preparation for a future event.

Lucy made me do it Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 One of my favorite episodes, although I admit that it's mostly because of the cool title and Brad Dourif. It doesn't really contribute to the mythology of the show(s) and it certainly doesn't scare me like some of the best episodes tend to do. But what it lacks in importance and chills it makes up for in intimacy. The suicide girls and their hand gestures, Hoffman's desperate character, the interview with Ol' Iron Lung, the smiles on the faces of the children and Hoffman as the bus is carrying them to whatever end... It's beautiful I tells ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's track 17 on MIllennium Vol 2 album, called "All His Children." I couldn't get it fast enough when I found out this music was on it for the first time. Yeah, it's posted on YouTube.

Unfortunately, I'm real bad at noticing music in visual media. I mean, the music sure does contribute to the ambience and I would definitely miss it if it were gone, but I don't remember it afterwards like I remember a sweet camera angle or great montages or whatever. I wish it were different because I love music. So thank you. Edited October 16, 2019 by Lucy made me do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 That's what makes Mark Snow so good. His music fits every screen and becomes part of the scene, sometimes to the point where you don't even notice it. My favorite part of this track starts at :58, and what was playing when they were boarding the bus. It took many years for this track to be on an album, and it wasn't until recently that it was. That is a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
