The X-Files
![]() The X-Files Might (Almost Definitely?) Reopen Soon! The shadowy conspiracy to bring us more X-Files is coming out into the light! David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have agreed to reprise their roles as Mulder and Scully, Chris Carter will be writing and executive producing, and Fox is close to greenlighting the show! However, there’s an interesting twist in the details... Apparently, the new season of the show will be embracing a relatively new trend in American television. According to Comicbook.com: TV Wise is reporting that Fox is planning to order a shortened season of The X-Files—less than 10 episodes. This is potentially great news! A short season will be much easier for the actors to schedule, obviously, but even more importantly, an intense arc will encourage Chris Carter to keep the show stay tight and focused, rather than getting lost in the byzantine plotlines of later seasons. Imagine a ten-episode arc where Mulder and Scully have to solve one supernatural crime or fight one particular secret government agency, rather than hacking away at a gorgon of rumors, theories, and Flukemen? Perhaps, for the first time in their FBI careers, they’ll yield results and actually arrest somebody! As if that wasn’t promising enough, they’ve reached out to Mitch Pileggi, which means we may see the triumphant return of SKINNER’S FIST. So what do you think? Will Mulder and Scully still have a place in our hyper-paranoid United States? Will the inevitable alien invasion really be that bad? And are there any monsters-of-the-week left to chase, or did the Winchester boys get them all? |

I can honestly say that I've never watched more than 5 episodes of the X-files in my lifetime.

I probably would have enjoyed The X-Files, but it was a rare sore point in our household.
One Christmas Eve, soon after we brought the TV back into the house, my sister and I were itching to open some presents early. Only my dad was glued to some apparently spellbinding episode of The X-Files. My mom already wasn't enamored of the TV, which was supposed to only be there to use with the Commodore 64 for educational purposes in the first place, so there was a bit of a row about dad watching shitty brain-rotting TV when we were supposed to be having family time on Christmas Eve. By the time I'd heard how great the show was, and had my own TV in college, the show was already on its way out the door. Some day, maybe I'll get a chance to revisit it. Heaven knows I like Vince Gilligan's subsequent stuff, and the premise is solid enough it carried me through the entire run of Fringe. BTW - Gillian Anderson is hotter than ever. She was recently on Top Gear and it was an eye-opener how petite she is, especially compared to the hulking Clarkson.

New episodes of Twin Peaks and The X-Files? The future looks a lot like the 90's.
Not that I'm complaining. Two of my all-time favorite shows coming back after all these yeas makes me pretty happy. I hope there's still some magic left. |

Yes. Every episode.
I highly recommend it. It remains my favorite TV series of all time. It's scifi drama at its best. They have a running theme through the show of course, but they put in stand alone "Monster episodes" to break up the running theme. Usually episodes that have little or no connection to the overall story arc. It's amazingly done. The show got kinda stupid over the last few seasons. But the first 6-7 seasons are ****ing incredible.

Now how the hell is that possible? This show was tailor made for your paranormal conspiracy loving brain...

It's fine full on, it's too flat in profile. Almost Roman. She actually needs more nose.
