For anyone who has wondered how many of the new episodes are mythology and how many monster of the weeks, Carter just revealed that it's going to be 4 motws and two mythology eps (the first and the last) Which means that Carter will probably write one motw himself.

"My Struggle" Carter, Mythology
"Home Again" Glen Morgan, motw
"Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster" Darin Morgan, motw
"?" Jim Wong or Carter, motw
"?" Wong or Carter, motw
"?" Carter, Mythology

Carter sure seems to want more. In almost every interview he's talking about "these first six" or something like that. Anderson doesn't seem to be that excited for more, but I'm sure if this miniseries is a hit then there will be at least another miniseries of 5 or 6.

(Please be a hit, please please please.)

Updated. Not that anyone cares except me.

And for those who are dissapointed about the number of mythology episodes, Carted recently talked to Nerdist Writer's podcast and said that every episode will contribute to the arc that the characters go through.

I thought the 24 miniseries was just more of the same, nothing to be excited about, but more and more I get the feeling that this is gonna be different. At least it feels like they are trying to do something special here. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that every writer will direct their own episodes. Hopefully if there's another miniseries in the future, they'll get at least Bowman and Nutter back.

I wish they did a little more to make Gillian Anderson look like Scully. She still looks great for sure and I know they're older now but it's not that. She doesn't look much like Scully, not sure why. Hair color I guess? Pretty pumped nonetheless.

Disagreed; it has little to do with pantsuits (which underwent rapid evolution throughout the original series) - it's mainly that she no longer wears Jennifer hair.

YEAH KUMAIL!

In some ways it feels like he set this revival in motion by being the first to get people talking about the X-Files after a long silence. Yeah a 90s nostalgia boom is blossoming more generally, but it couldn't hurt that he was calling up so many people who worked on the show and getting them to talk to each other.

Scully having new clothes is fine. It's years later, she shouldn't look like it's the 90's any more.

As someone said above, it's really the hair that's off. Still, I'm crazy excited about this season. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

Yeah Scully's mid-later season red bob hair never looked particularly 90's to me, I could easily see that hairstyle today minus the accompanying pants-suit.

This must be seriously life-changing for Kumail. It's like how I'd expect a light comedy to end, if Kumail's life were a movie about a lovable loser instead of just being the life of a lovable loser. He's going to get high-fives about this for the rest of his life.

I suppose there's always a chance that Mulder is still talking to ghosts or whatever was happening in the finale.

I'm sure this would be pretty cool, but he's already a star in a popular TV show himself so... I'm not sure stories about hanging out with 90s TV stars are going to get him any more pussy
