X Files is coming back. Poll

[DotCommunist]

with the original Mulder and Scully. Possible retconning and or resets ahoy

http://io9.com/you-can-believe-the-x-files-is-officially-returning-1693350830

is this a good thing or a bad thing. I am apprehensive. It had gone shit long before they finally killed it off but in the Tooms era, late 90s etc, it was required viewing.

 

[editor]

It has the potential to be good. But it will probably be shit.

 

[Cid]

Wot ed said.

 

[DotCommunist]

I hope they go more for tooms and flesh eating flies and killer silicon fungus ( ). The conspiracy stuff and aliens was good enough at the time but there was never any payoff to it all

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Only six episodes.

 

[DotCommunist]

Only six episodes.

testing the waters before commissioning more- fox usually renew on a series by series basis iirc

It'll get the first two eps watched by everyone out of nostalgic wishing for it to be good, but if its ropey I'll give up by ep 3

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Haven't David & Gillian said that they're not in for a long haul? Sure I read a snippet earlier this year.

 

[DotCommunist]

what else has dave got on? More soft porn in The Red Shoe Diaries lol

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Not another 9 seasons of regurgitated X Files i'd wager.

"Mr Skinner, I didn't realise you were appearing in this remake?"
"The hell you didn't - did you see the magicians' secrets show I did ten years ago? That was my last entry in IMDB."

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Great. Fanfuckingtastic. I look forward to another barrage of brain-dead dickheads calling me Scully for the foreseeable future then, given that I vaguely look like her and my name is vaguely similar and vague associations seem to pass as wit as readily these days as in the old days.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I'm massively excited and I don't care if it's crap because it'll be brilliant anyway just like even the shittest of the old episodes were.

Everything's great if you want it to be.

Just believe.

 

[DotCommunist]

Last time I saw skinner in anything he was playing an aryan brotherhood nazi in Sons of Anarchy. It'll be weird if he comes back in this

 

[Pickman's model]

bastard phone put my vote in option 3 when i wanted option 1

 

[Bob_the_lost]

No! No you bastards! I'm still only half way through the box set and you're going to throw more episodes at me!?

 

[mwgdrwg]

You're probably better off stopping after season 4 anyway.

 

[mauvais]

So that's what became of Hank Moody. What a sellout.

''What a week to pack up smoking!''

and David Duchovny....................

 

[mentalchik]

am quite excited

Season 5 is pretty good, and it features an episode written by William Gibson that's as great as you'd expect.

 

[Sprocket.]

Looking forward to it. We liked the first film, not so the second.
Be interested to see if they are bringing back previous allies.
My favourite episode is still season three, episode four, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, with the utterly brilliant Peter Boyle as a psychic insurance salesman. Outstanding story IMO.

That's a very good episode.

I'm very looking forward to this.

I've forgotten when I lost interest, when Mulder was missing for months and only in a few episodes.

 

[Impossible Girl]

I'm just like a kid waiting for Christmas

 

[Pseudopsycho]

Millennium was better

I loved the X-files but stopped watching around the point when Krycek(sp?) was being superfied by the black goo. I always meant to go back and finish it but never got around to it.

 

[fractionMan]

Should I watch the originals?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Tempted to torrent the first couple of series and watch again...

 

[Silva]

While I'm not expecting much, six episodes is a good idea. If it's bad, heh, it's not like it will take much to unravel. If it holds up well, might get a 12-episodes in 2017.

Ideally, I hope they wipe out everything after season 5 or 6, and start from there.
