The X-Files: IT's still out there!

[50sDad]

How about “I Don’t Want To Be Hopelessly Screwed Over Again Because The Writers Don’t Have The Skill To Tie Up All The Plotlines They Invented Along The Way And Had No Idea How to Finish”?

[Homer1]

I think if they had wrapped up the original premise of the show and the series after 5-6 seasons, the DVD sales would have kept the series alive for the younger viewers. They just dragged that thing out for so long that the payoff wasn’t worth it.

I'm psyched.

[netmilsmom]

Do you see a script released on this yet?

Will Scully get William back? Will they just forget the last three seasons?

How about the Lone Gunmen?

Okay, I don’t want to be, but I’m geeked too. Especially since I have four original X-Files dolls sitting upstairs never opened. Ebay here I come!!!!

I do miss the show, but I would bet if it were out today, all the moonbats would believe the story lines were secret messages of what is really happening..

[netmilsmom]

Yes!!!

Lame Title. I liked their original tag line - “Truth is Out there”.

"It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don't know the show or haven't seen it," Carter said. "If you're 20 years old now, the show started when you were 4.

Excuse me while I go shake my cane at some whippersnappers. I'm getting the same feeling that I have whenever I see a "You must be born after this date in 1987 to buy alcohol" and realize that people born while I was in college are drinking legally.

There are rules here, people.

[GunRunner]

I was a mild X-Files fan in the mid-late 90's.

But with 9/11 Trutherism and Global Warming theology very much alive in the real world, I don't find the premise welcome anymore.

Check this out...Gillian says these are the important episodes to watch before seeing the movie. (gotta get out those DVDs)

Pilot
Beyond the Sea
The Host
Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose
Memento Mori
Post-Modern Prometheus
Bad Blood
Milagro

I think I still need Season Six though!

[andy58-in-nh]

I certainly wouldn’t say “No”. ;-)...

[Little Bill]

Not Guilty.

[rednesss]

I loved Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose. The part where he’s talking to Mulder and insinuates that Mulder will die by auto-erotica-asphyxiation was hilarious. Post-Modern Prometheus was a funny episode as well, X-Files plus Cher, hilarity ensues.

[andy58-in-nh]

Not Guilty.

Yeah Bill, but I might be for what I'm thinking about that little lady...

[discostu]

Yeah it just got too redundant. Every time they finally “revealed” the big plot of the secret masters it turned out there were other even more secret masters with a bigger plot. After 3 of those reveals I just got tired of it, I watched about half of the season after the movie and that was it, highly unlikely I’ll watch the second movie. I’ve moved on from the X-Files.

[mnehring]

Interesting, all of those episodes involve psychics seeing crimes (or being involved in them (Post-Modern Prometheus)). That would be an interesting key to the plot, or a diversion for those who are trying to guess.
