maybeadracula posted:The mytharc episodes feel the weakest NOW  Everything we know about  Prestige TV begins with the X files. The idea of a season-spanning story in an era that effectively pre-dates physical media for television* was completely revolutionary. The vast majority of TV at the time was designed specifically for syndication - any episode could be played in any order (preferably from any season). In retrospect the mytharc is not good, but it was culture-changing at the time. *I seem to remember the boxed DVD set of the x-files was over a hundred dollars at Sun Coast. It def. wasn't available for rent at Blockbuster or any local shop, and   at buying it across 8 VHS (or however many it was)

If someone remade it, they'd have to keep the setting in the 90s. FBI agents investigating werewolves with smartphones post 9/11 isn't the X files

it wouldnt change the structure of the show much. I think Scully logged into the FBI computers to look stuff up occasionally, but (iirc) Mulder was paper only. The biggest difference would be no answering machine plots.
