The X-Files To Return
An anonymous reader writes: Fox announced today that The X-Files will return with six new episodes. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will both reprise their roles as Mulder and Scully, respectively, and show creator Chris Carter will return as well. Production begins this summer, but air dates are not yet known. The X-Files originally started in 1993 and ran for 9 seasons, spawning two feature films and a short-lived spinoff called The Lone Gunmen. It won 16 Emmy awards and 5 Golden Globe awards before critical reception soured over the last few seasons. Carter said, "I think of it as a 13-year commercial break. The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories."
...utter garbage. The mood set by Vancouver's gloomy gray wet and cold winters was the perfect setting for the series. When they moved production to Los Angeles(thanks Tea Leoni !!!) it went to hell very quickly.
I always thought that the best episodes, were the ones that avoided the "dreaded main thread" . . . just show something weird, about some creepy-crawly critter, and do a bit of self satire.
Those were the best.
