Sci-Fi The X-Files - 6 Part Event Series

[Teelie]

I haven't watched it yet but it may also be the series finale as far as Gillian Anderson is concerned. She said she felt the story has wrapped up sufficiently for her to leave Scully where she is.

Definitely one of the better mythology eps they've had in a while.

Also not a bad place to leave it for Mulder/Scully. Not really interested in them continuing on with just Mulder after that.

At this point the mythology stuff is just too muddled for me, so I'd be happy to see them do another ten ep season with Mulder and Scully just doing cases of the week, but there's no point in carrying on if it's only Mulder, the shows's strength has always been their partnership, on multiple levels.

I really hope we get another season, or at the very least one more movie to wrap things up nicely

The thing is though they had two seasons to wrap things up. It’s safe to say Chris Carter legitimately doesn’t know how to end the show at this point. That being said the season finale was close enough to satisfy me.

This was awesome!!!!!

Lol, really speaks volumes about the quality of the last season that I made this post only two years ago and I legit don't remember how the season ended when I saw this thread bumped today.

The X-Files Animated Comedy Spinoff In Development at Fox

The two-dimensional truth is out there.

An animated comedy spinoff of The X-Files is in development at Fox, with series creator Chris Carter attached to exec-produce (but not write/showrun), TVLine has learned exclusively. Titled The X-Files: Albuquerque, the ‘toon offshoot — which has received a script and presentation commitment from Fox — will not revolve around David Duchovny‘s Mulder and Gillian Anderson‘s Scully. Rather, the potential series will center an office full of misfit agents who investigate X-Files cases too wacky, ridiculous or downright dopey for Mulder and Scully to bother with. They’re essentially the X-Files’ B-team.

Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko (Netflix’s Paradise PD) will pen the pilot and serve as EPs alongside Carter and former X-Files scribe Gabe Rotter. Bento Box serves as the animation studio.

Hmmm.

If they get Darrin Morgan too, it would be gold.

 

[Sithborg]

You know what, sure, I'm up for this. The funny episodes were great.

I started re-watching this show a few weeks ago since it was on a streaming service I use and I finished what I was watching before. About to watch the last episode of S2 tonight and then go straight into S3. Still love it. There are some filler episodes but to me it's mostly great stuff. I'm probably in the minority of the people who really dig the mytharc episodes the most - but some of the stand alone ones are really good too.

It's a shame the mythology kinda went off the rails and I think the show got to a point where Mulder and Scully had just seen so much that their 'experience' of discovering something new wasn't the same. I think that's partially why I really liked S8 (one of my favorite seasons actually) because I really liked Doggett but also you got someone who came into The X-Files not having seen what Mulder/Scully did for 7 years.

 

[Pennywise]

I’m interested to see how this develops!

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

I’ll wait and see what direction they go. Not getting excited yet.

 

[Primal Slayer]

So a spin off set in the same world? I'm cool with that

 

[Prison Mike]

I’ve liked everything that Ryan Coogler has done, but I don’t think this will last very long.

 

[souvlaki]

On the bright side, it couldn't possibly be worse than the last five seasons of the X-Files.

The X-Files Albuquerque: Animated Spinoff Not Moving Forward at Fox

 

[DarkKnight88]

An X-Files: Lower Decks could’ve been fun. Too bad.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I'm definitely here for this.

Ryan Coogler and his creative mind in the world of the X-Files?

In an interview on Last Podcast On The Left, Coogler revealed that he will be working on The X-Files after Sinners. The two-time Oscar nominee was asked which project he'll be involved with next, responding that he will begin work on the reboot “immediately next.” He adds, in the quote below, that he hopes the new episodes will be “f—king scary”:

I’m working on X-Files. That’s what’s immediately next. So, I’ve been excited about that for a long time, and I’m fired up to get back to it, and that, you know, some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really f—king scary.

Asked about Gillian Anderson's involvement in the X-Files reboot, Coogler mentions that he's spoken to her and noted that he is excited to see her in the upcoming movie Tron: Ares. Even though the filmmaker didn't directly address whether Anderson will be back in the role of Dana Scully, he remained optimistic about the possibility, adding:

I’ve spoken to the great Gillian. […] She’s incredible. Fingers crossed there. I can’t wait to see her. She’s in Tron [Ares]. I just seen a trailer for that. When I spoke to her, she was finishing that up. But, yeah, but we’re gonna try to make something really… we’re gonna try to make something really great, bro, and really, really be, you know, something for the real X-Files fans, you know what I’m saying? And, maybe, find some new ones.

There’s so much fodder nowadays in our current world that they can basically make another 10 seasons and would still have a bunch of leftover and untapped material and concepts.

 

[Sawyer]

I wonder how committed Coogler is to the Monster of the Week concept. Because IMO, that’s where the shows strength lied. The mythology kind of turned to **** after awhile.

I’ve never met an X-Files fan who disagreed with this sentiment. I have to believe Coogler knows what’s up.

I always liked the mythology episodes (until it got bad) but for me most of them up until midway S6 were great, then S7 took a big dip, S8 kinda came back to form for me and S9 and beyond is just garbage fire. I think I liked that the episodes carried into each other more and had a bigger impact on the show. My big gripe with the MotW is always that a week would go by and nothing that happened really has an impact on the characters or moves the overall story forward in any way.

Plus a MotW episode is only as good as its monster and you would almost know based on the opening stinger if it would be a good episode or not based on what it was about. For me the MotW stuff is like a rollercoaster in some ways both having some of the best and some of the worst episodes of the show, and the mythology stuff is usually more 'in the middle'.

I do think having a mix of both would be a key element for any future X-Files seasons. It was pretty much the perfect balance having 1-2 episodes kick off the season, then you get 5-6 MotW episodes, you get a few story episodes in the middle of the season, more MotW and then you end it with some story ones again.
