Movies and TV Fox: The X-Files - Page 15

Seem like I'm about 23 years behind on this one?

(Jesus, 23 years?!)

Apparently not. Fox is in talks with Chris Carter to bring it back, including having David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise Scully and Mulder. Nothing creative yet, just seeing how schedules line up, but still...

Also having (unrelated of course) talks about bringing back Prison Break and running a Kiefer-free version of 24 (not sure how that would work; he was that snow).

They need to dig into it deeper

Haha. I was wondering the same thing the other day.

... After that they damn well better have another season.

**Ming the Merciless** · 02-22-2016, 09:01 PM

Terrible acting and writing.

I don't know if I'll even get to episode 4

NJChiefsFan · 02-22-2016, 10:54 PM

I really like the episode in general, but yet again, the complete ignoring or flaunting in the face of the first six seasons conspiracy is amazing.

We are supposed to just forget all the conversations the syndicate had about an invasion and about the contact the aliens were still having with them? Now all of a sudden Smoking Man wasn't part of that and it was all a grand plan to depopulate? Or are we supposed to hope that Chris Carter knew all along there would be another season and he is holding another twist?

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the ending. I thought this mass world hysteria was a good one for a show this scale to do. Epic, yet within control. It was always what I figured the invasion would look like. I also thought it was Duchovney and Anderson as close to Mulder and Scully as they have been. But I can't get past the idea that, according to the story line, the original mytharc was all a joke. It's one thing if it all lays out and makes sense, but this is a clear cheat. A blind eye to a story in order to create a new one.

The aliens have been trying to stop the SSM and his minions the whole time. Instead of the aliens being the bad guys, they are actually the good guys.

Just a guess.

I thought that was awesome, and I can't believe I didn't go in expecting a cliffhanger.

ModSocks · 02-23-2016, 12:49 PM

I watched the first episode. The writing was just awful. I ignored the awful writing because X-files and I'll try the next episode soon.

**DaneMcCloud** · 02-23-2016, 01:12 PM

I enjoyed the finale. I can see how people would feel somewhat "betrayed" for the "flipping of the script" in terms of the Syndicate's true intention but I thought it worked and made it even more interesting overall.

That said, I liked the cliffhanger and as much as I enjoyed the revival of the show, especially the episode directed by Darin Morgan, I'm not sure that I want to see another season. Once this comes to a complete conclusion (which IMO, would be a must), what stories would be left to tell? It's not like they can start the next season without revealing William, transferring stem cells to save Mulder and so on.

The mystery is kind of cool.

Mennonite · 02-23-2016, 07:07 PM

CC had no idea where he was going with the Mytharc from the beginning. Ten seasons of cockteasing. He just piles more and more conspiracy crap plot lines on top of one another and sits back and lets the fans try to make sense of his terrible writing.

Speaking of terrible, the Mulder and Scully twins are "real" characters? WTF? I thought they were just a bad joke squeezed into the previous episode. We're supposed to take them seriously?

p.s. And didn't we watch the CSM get incinerated all the way down to the ****ing bone in season 9?

Sure-Oz · 02-23-2016, 08:08 PM

Cool finale but def mixed overall...I also think this show cant last past next season

Fish · 02-23-2016, 09:07 PM

Ha ha.. That finale was nuts. I liked it. This season has been really really weird, but fun nonetheless. It's flawed, but nostalgic as hell.

.

It's not even about a true intention. There are scenes of the syndicate literally only talking to each other saying the aliens want the hybrid, we need to stall them, ect. Now all of a sudden it was all reverse engineering, and the aliens haven't been in contact since 1949. It's just a plain turn of the back, not a flip of scripts.

Now as I said I liked the episode, just not the cause of it. But putting that aside for a second I thought we finally saw real Mulder and Scully. Unfortunately I think the new partners will become the main characters. Even if just for stand alone episodes, I would like it to come back.

I never cared for the William story, but now I actually do so kudos to CC for that. But he is lost per usual with the mythology, but never has it undermined the previous seasons before.

How much to get Gilligan back and running the show?

After seeing Gilligan flourish with BB and Saul I came to the conclusion that Carter held Vince back.

MMXcalibur · 02-24-2016, 12:57 PM

*sigh*

After these past two episodes, I'm not sure if I want the X-Files coming back for another season.

I know it was only six episodes, but there was too much emphasis on comedic aspects and the mythos. I suppose I just wanted to see more "monster-of-the-week" episodes.

That's where I believe the show really shines.
