The first movie is basically a long, pretty good arc episode. The second movie is basically a long, pretty bad MOTW episode.

Hakkesshu posted:I haven't really been keeping up with this new series, but why is it only six episodes? Are they just testing the waters? Do Duchovny/Anderson not wanna commit to more? Doing only six is cheaper, easier to sell to the network, easier to get the cast on board despite their busy schedules, etc. Plus they want to try to keep the quality of the episodes consistently high, something the show frequently struggled with in its original run. Carter has said they'll never go back to the 20+ episodes/season format; if they do any more of the show after this they will continue to use the miniseries style.

Honestly, you could just stick with season 1 and show them Squeeze. If I was introducing the show to someone (and I have before) I would just show them the first three episodes in order, and maybe also Conduit since it explain's Mulder's whole deal so well. If I'm recommending the show to people, I feel like I'm also recommending the process of watching the show evolve over time. So showing them the first couple episodes of the whole show and then a hand-picked one from a later season wouldn't fit into that. But that's just a personal perspective, you should show them whatever you think they would like the most. Slate Action fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Oct 9, 2015 |

By season 9 even the writers seemed to hate the show and want it to end. I would not be surprised to see the new season ignore or retcon it completely, and probably some of the stuff from seasons 7-8 as well.

If the new season is good and successfully 'rights the ship' it will make up for so many of the show's latter-day fuckups, plus maybe bring in a bunch of new people to watching the series. I really hope it's good. Slate Action fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jan 3, 2016 |

Can of Cloud posted:Sorry if it has already been discussed, but are they planning on having more than just 6 episodes in the future? Or is this like "24" - a comeback for just one mini season? From what I've heard, if the new mini-season does well, there's a chance we could get further mini-seasons in the future.

The X-Files only got greenlit in the first place because Fox was an extremely desperate TV network in 1993. So it's fitting that it now comes back out of another sort of desperation, the desire to not have to take jobs like...

To add some more context, despite there being so few TV networks at the time, in its debut season The X-Files was the 111th (yes, that's one hundred and eleventh) most-watched show on TV. Fox renewed it anyway, because they were still desperate. Also I have not actually seen Robot Overlords, but it is a movie that came out in 2014 and has Ben Kingsley in it. It's probably bad.

A lot of the reviews complain about Carter's tendency to write indecipherable mystery plots and long rambling speeches, both of which I actually find endearing. But we'll see!

From what I've heard the season ends on a cliffhanger, so yeah basically Chris Carter will never learn his lesson.

I'm going to guess that the Tad O'Malley conspiracy is fake and the takedown of his show was to make it seem plausible? But then why did they blow up the ARV and why did CSM seem perturbed at the end. Hmmmmmmm.

By the way, the punchline to all this is Chris Carter setting up a cliffhanger at the end of the miniseries and then the show doesn't get renewed.

ParliamentOfDogs posted:The x files to me was always great because of the methodical presentation of evidence in such a way that it could intrigue even people who roll their eyes at every conspiracy theory. This was rapid fire answers and questions being asked point blank by characters, not presented by events. This episode tried to do too much, but gently caress it, I'm watching the rest. It was always a hallmark of Chris Carter episodes that he would try to combine like three episodes of ideas into one episode, and it's amusing to see that he hasn't gotten even slightly better at avoiding that.

Philthy posted:Yeah, I thought they didn't mention it was Roswell. The ship looked fake as hell, too. But I couldn't tell if it was bad CGI or if they were purposely trying to throw out some clues. Then they gunned the alien down in front of the medic for no reason. But then they show the medic was carrying the dead alien around, so he would have known it was a fake. It felt like it was entirely staged just for that medic, but who knows why. It was all to confuse Mulder. The conspiracy against Mulder started before he was even born.
