Does this mean that future seasons will be rid of the conspiracy arc and just have awesome weekly adventures?

I liked all of these until the Mushrooms one which I was entertained by but thought was terrible and this one that I just thought was straight up terrible

Like I don't know how you could think last week's was worst than this, where the only redeeming bit was Reyes turncoating to get that alien dna

To arrive at this point for what could potentially be the real end of the series is actually kind of impressive in how little reliable information we really have about what the gently caress was going on for 9+ seasons. So all that poo poo in Antarctica was just a government smoke screen? They abducted Scully and put her in a gigantic space ship full of crazy hybrid creatures, then let Mulder find her? What's the deal with the black oil if its just 100% a government experiment, and not actually an alien entity? If the Syndicate invented it based on alien tech or some poo poo, then why did it infect a caveman hundreds of thousands of years ago? AND SO ON....

It's like chris carter got to the last episode and realised he hates the xfiles, so he wrote the best garbage he could in order to get it cancelled. First ep was okay, second ep was better, third hit it out of the park, fourth was okay for a motw, fifth had a bunch of great ideas which went nowhere and that sixth was indefensible crap. I'll watch another season, but only to see how bad it can get.

Who owns the rights to the actual series? Carter or Fox? Is there any way we can get a Carter-less X-Files is what I'm getting at.

I don't have a source handy but I've read multiple interviews where Duchovney says he'd only ever participate in the show if Carter(and Anderson) is involved. Without all three of them he's not interested, and I doubt its worth it for Fox to pay him enough to change his mind.

gently caress it, go full Next Generation then. I love Mulder and Scully but they've sleepwalked through this whole miniseries. The concept is still solid and I feel like a new batch of writers could do fantastic things with it. Have Wong and the Morgans head a new team and find a new Mulder and Scully duo. Except this time don't give them ridiculous names like Einstein.

He wrote exactly none of Millennium S2 and look how that turned out! Less harm that way, right? Right?

Miller and Einstein aside, and I actually don't mind them that much, I'd be willing to give Next Generation X-files a shot. Make Skinner their boss, have them going up against the shambling re-animated corpse of Smoking Man, bring back Krycek somehow. It could work, at least in a fanservicey kinda way.

The only episode I didn't like was the Muslim terrorist plot, and even then it was just that they made the terrorist stuff straightforwardly racist, Mulder's drug trip was awesome though. The finale was cool and good. Also, Scully's computer at the beginning of the finale looked like it was running Win95 and that was funny as hell.

Slugworth posted:PCR literally is used to amplify DNA, it was the most (only) plausible line in the entire episode. Yeah, that was the only part that was actually remotely scientifically accurate. The following part where they took the DNA and magically cooked it up into some kind of injectible serum is the part you should have issue with. quote:I loving lost it at 'I NEED STEM CELLS!' though. Also this.

Amazing. That one episode probably had as much plot, exposition and consequences as the whole original alien colonisation arc.

I'm pissed that they were just like "gently caress it lets bring back CSM", but they didn't do the same for Krycek. I always loved the intense visceral hatred he always inspired in Mulder and Skinner.

Bunch of baby whiners in this thread. So much hyperbole. It wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. gently caress goons and their need to one up each other over how much they have a hate boner for something more than anyone else. I'm hoping that if this comes back there's a massive change in status quo. So many sick from the virus and an alien ship just popping in above a pretty populated area has got to count for something. For a finale, I'm a little sad that Mulder's part amounted to being practically comatose for most if it. No matter what the outcome, though, I'm happy it came back just for Mulder and Scully meet the Were-Monster.

I really like episodes that are "realistic" in that there isn't any supernatural force\creature as a central plot element. That one comes to mind where that pervy inmate seems to know a lot about mulder's sister and mulder tricks him into describing the abduction in the wrong house. I think he ends up on a schoolbus or something and gets shot? The guy was basically just a creepy psychopath who was really good at manipulating people, and he just knew a lot about Mulder. There wasn't anything supernatural in that episode and I remember really liking it.

The finale did a 2.4 in the demo. Fox will undoubtedly want to make more, however you feel about that. Just depends on when Duchovny, Anderson, and (ugh) Carter want to do it.

He's on the 12 Monkeys series now, which is a really cool show.

So why did CSM choose Reyes? Just because they both smoked? Also, what was the deal with the alien graffiti that Tad O'Malley talked about being spray painted in neighborhoods being targeted? Is that actually a piece of InfoWars type paranoia in the real world? It was one of the few things I didn't recognize as "actually" existing.

Also like where does the world of X Files go from here? Like that UFO was seen by a lot of people and everyone in the world was getting sick murdered. If they want to do another miniseries, and they're setting up Agent Einstein and Faux Mulder like what is their plan cause things have gone really off the rails.

The things that are wrong with these new episodes were also present in the original series to varying degrees depending on the season. This was just all that same poo poo but to the extreme, everything wrong with the X-files in pure concentrated form.
