Excellent article about the 20th anniversary of The X-Files and the show's impact on tv shows even today
It's been 20 years already? I think I'll go through the entire series again to mark that anniversary.

Times flies!
On the subject, I just finished watching Fight the Future. So I will resume my trek through the seasons tonight when I begin season 6. I own all seasons now minus the ninth. I need to get on that.

Huge fan of the show when it was on air. I was only 7 when it first came on, but my dad let me watch it. Anyways after season 7 I lost interest and moved on to other tv shows in the past decade. But over the past year I have gotten back into the show, and I remember why I loved it so much. Great writing, performances and just a fun yet creepy show.
Also I am looking forward to watching seasons 8 and 9, I'll give them a fair chance.

I only started watching it weekly back when Season 6 began, but now I've probably seen every episode at least twice. One of my favorite shows ever.

Mulder in a Speedo; dear god. Rabid fangirlism wasn't born with the Internet; it just helped it spread. I remember reading an article in a magazine, back then, examining a capture of a pic of Mulder in his Speedo, discussing if he was carrying left or right. I thought I had seen it all and that nothing would ever top that.
How naive I was.

Obvious talk has been running rampant for a third movie after this year's Comic Con but recent events and appearances have fueled it further.

Shall see!
In other news, I'm in the middle of season 7. I just watched Closure today…is it sad that I cried during the final scene with Mulder and Samantha's spirit reuniting?

They've all been wanting to do another movie for awhile now. They need a greenlight from Fox though. My guess is Fox is skeptical after the last movie. I want closure dammit!
House Always Wins
I know and true but honestly, true fans will flock. Guaranteed.
Throbbing Member
Well, I wish true fans would've flocked to I Want to Believe, despite what the general consensus is on it. We wouldn't be wondering whether or not there will ever be another one....
House Always Wins
Agreed but I mainly blame that on people expecting and comparing it to the first movie from 1998. That was a Mythology based film and IWTB was more Monster of the Week flavoring. The first gave you more to sink into. Just my two cents.
I like IWTB honestly.

I liked it. Just wasn't the movie people wanted.

Watched "Hell Money" last night. totally of the beaten x-files path, but I think Lucy Liu is in it, and the Asian cop, pretty sure that's the guy from saw. yes?

No, he's the guy from Law and Order.

ahh good call. knew i knew him from somewhere.

Biggest mistake they made was doing a "monster of the week" movie, when they knew full well what their fanbase really wanted. Hopefully, they can do another one and do another mythology movie, like they should've done last time. I enjoyed the movie though.

Disagree. IWTB was a better movie, the mythology is dead and buried.
Active Member
I don't think so. A little while back, when they started talking about a third movie, they mentioned the alien colonization, etc., which would follow the mythology. That was a year or so ago, so it could change by the time it happens, if it happens.

New comic book and hobby shop opened in town finally.
Helllo!

Is it any good?
House Always Wins
Good so far. Picks up directly after season 9.
I read it already and it was a good, quick read really. The comic "episode" is called "Believers" and is the first part of a five part serial (first five issues). The store I got it from has issues 2 and 5. I will get them sometime soon and order the rest online somewhere.
House Always Wins
Still reading the Season 10 comics. The current serial is about the return of the Flukeman, whom is recreating a colony by replicating itself using human hosts. Pretty creepy and definitely something I could see happening.
On topic of season 10, I found this awesome fan made intro to a would-be season 10.

BACKROLLS?!
I've started a rewatch, and I'm in the latter half of season 5 (watching "Bad Blood", to be precise). This season is a lot better than I remembered it to be.
House Always Wins
I like(d) all the seasons but season 6 was the last really great season. 7 onwards began to have snoozers while 8 and 9 had moments of greatness and boredom.

Gillian Anderson Doesn't Think a Third X-Files Movie Would Happen Prior to 2016; Possibly Too Late for an Invasion Storyline
The actress is still interested in doing the film.

Gillian Anderson is busy shooting NBC's midseason thriller Crisis in Chicago. Set to debut this March, the high-concept series follows the kidnapping of several children of Washington D.C.'s elite. Anderson has also been featured in a fascinating guest-starring role on NBC's horror series Hannibal.
Even in the midst of the actress' increasingly busy schedule, though, it's possible that a third X-Files movie may move forward. It was reported last summer that The X-Files creator Chris Carter was developing script and that he, Anderson, and David Duchovny were all interested in reunited for the long-awaited film.
IGN was able to sit down with Anderson today to talk about her new drama Crisis (stay tuned for more on that). During the course of our conversation, we touched on oft-discussed X-Files movie. The actress indicated that she's still very open to returning to that world for a third film, but that she felt that it was unlikely to go into production in the near future.
"I'm sure it is being thought out," the actress said when asked if discussions about the film continued. "Looking at my schedule it's probably unlikely to happen before 2016, but that's the way things go."
Classic Mulder and Scully.
Anderson said that she isn't sure which storyline the film may draw from, as she doesn't get involved in those specifics, but that she felt that it may be "too late" to pursue the 2012 alien colonization through-line that the series established. "I'm not sure people would be interested in that anymore," Anderson reflected. "I don't know."
The date has come and gone, of course. It's possible that the film could be set in the recent past, though, or that Carter may find some other way to deal with the invasion.
In an August interview with Empire, the creator said he felt that it was important to address the colonization in some way. "The date (which was December 22, 2012 in the series) has passed, and that is something we wouldn't ignore," Carter explained. "For the second movie, we only had the budget for a standalone story, but we want to go back to the mythology."
We will keep you updated as details on the third X-Files film emerge.

Hopefully they get to it! I'm game!

Explains why the second movie was the way it was.

I was going to finally start watching this show, but its length kinda holds me off. Is there much of story development going on in monster-of-the-week episodes, as opposed to mythology episodes? Will I miss much if just stick to the mythology?
