'such a close relationship is bound to have its ups and downs. How much??'
I'm being positive, so much cracking conspiraloon stuff to go at.

Like Dr Who each episode is a blank page and is as good as the writers make it. I believe Gillian Anderson is seen as a lost recluse in the US who has disappeared from the radar. In reality she has a sterling career in Blighty and I can only see her wanting to do it to pay the rent.

ohh, you missed a Stella(r) opportunity there.
She's doing okay in yankeeland too, these days, Crisis may have been cancelled, but her role in Hannibal is becoming bigger and more central.

Anyone see Gillian Anderson in Streetcar last year? Great stuff.

feck! arse! girls! drink!
She's in loads of stuff that's been successful critically and commercially. If she wants to do this, it's a good sign.
I've read the season 10 comics and they're pretty good - they retcon things in a way that works, and have some mytharc, but it works. If the new stuff is based on them I'm hopeful it'll be good.

Just after watching the first season as part of a nostalgia reaffirmation buzz.
The dichotomy between the rational Scully and skeptical Mulder works ok but veers into the realm of cliche.
The series is quite disjointed with a lot of 'stand alone' episodes but some with characters who will appear again to give direction to a general thrust of Carter's storyline.
It was one of my favourite shows as a kid and it pretty much still holds up to this day. Looking forward to the next few seasons. Still weary of this reboot though.

Some of Scully's voiceovers at the ends of the episodes are a bit much.
"I've seen nothing that conclusively proves it wasn't just a gas leak, but Mulder thinks differently. He's like that though isn't he? There was one small aspect of what happened that made sense, so I'll just focus on that bit and pretend that everything else didn't happen. Did I mention that I'm a doctor? A medical doctor, not a doctor of anthropology or any silly made up thing like that.
Even though this is a serious FBI report, I'm going to end on something uncharacteristically whimsical and open-ended. Why do I do that every week? Why do people do anything? Maybe we'll never know..."

hilariously, suits that looked cool ish in the 90s now look cheap, frumpy and government issue.

He's confirmed that he is coming back, minus the nazi tatts obvs
Yes. Millennium and Fringe were better. Heirs of the show thoughMillennium 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.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
"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."
Apparently the smoking man was just a unknown extra without who's part was embellished because of Anderson's pregnancy which would explain the sparness of his acting CV .
No they've been shagging each other for years.

It's about negotiating streaming rights for the old series.

how do you mean- does fox have to negotiate with the production company that made x files back in the day?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Like the 24 mini series it's being done so Fox can negotiate with Netflix and Amazon on the fees they get from streaming the old series.

I don't see why this can't be good, though I get that the Interwebs knee-jerk reaction has to be abject cynicism. 
TV is better than ever, quality cable shows have seriously raised the game and I don't see why this shouldn't have a knock-on effect on The X-Files revival. I'm already very happy that this isn't some shitty reboot with sexy 20somethings in the roles of Mulder and Scully. Another good sign is that they are getting back the writers who wrote some of the best X-Files episodes, like Glen Morgan, James Wong and most importantly Darin Morgan who wrote the two best X-Files episodes ever. One episode will be a sequel to Home, one of the most fucked-up and scary hours of TV ever.

Just looked to see if Syzgy was Morgan, but its listen on imdb as chris carter. Scully smoking lol.

Darin Morgan wrote Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose with Peter Boyle which I think is one of the best hours of genre TV ever and the and the almost as good and totally batshit Jose Chung's From Outer Space.

I know this, see upthread m8. I'm really hoping this works, the old team back together. It has all the ingredients to be great. War of The Coprophages was my fave morgan episode, always liked the quirkier ones and the non-conspiracy ones more. To pick a fave x file episode of all the serious toned ones, the two parter Tooms about a stretchy liver eating immortal.

Not at all. Mulder and Scully's tenure had pretty much ended. It was high time for fresh blood.
