I was a massive X-Files fan back in the day, I'm talking the cards, comic's went to the last show filming in BC at Roger's arena back in the late 90's so I'm so happy they are bringing it back for 6 more episodes with all original cast.

Filming start's this summer and I can't fricken wait!!

“THE X-FILES” RETURNS TO FOX

Emmy Award-winning Pop Culture Phenomenon
From Chris Carter Is Back as Six-Episode Event Series

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to Reprise Their Roles as
FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully


Thirteen years after the original series run, FOX has ordered the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES, a thrilling, six-episode event series which will be helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.

The announcement was made today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group and Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of THE X-FILES. Production on THE X-FILES event series is set to begin in summer 2015. Further details remain under wraps and will be announced at a later date.

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” said Carter. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

“We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of THE X-FILES – one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers – and we couldn’t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again,” remarked Newman and Walden. “THE X-FILES was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture – yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as THE X-FILES, and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.”

THE X-FILES originally premiered in September 1993. Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

nice... might have to watch it on netflix now

[white rocket]

Cool! I was into the show for sure. Actually got to meet Gillian, David and Chris as we rented vehicles and equipment to the show until it moved to California. Delivered a new Toyota 4Runner to Gillian's house in West Van and got to meet her and her daughter Piper. Was a really cool experience. Still have some signed stuff from them.

I'm super jealous about that

[Tegra_Devil]

wonder if skinner or the smoking man will be in it

[murd0c]

Skinner is here right now for filming Supernatural, my sister saw him at Kwantlen last week. Both of them better be in it, they were classic characters for sure but I can't remember if they were killed off or what?

i dont think either were killed off if i recall correctly

[Hondaracer]

the smoking man was interviewed on global last week and he said if the story picks up from where it left off, he is dead in that time line.

lol talking about "super fans" a friend of a friend was insanely into it, like all he wore was x files shirts etc. That episode/story line when mulder died, the guy actually jumped out a second story window when he found out lol.. wtf apparently it was like a border line attempted suicide at the time

[murd0c]

They could write him back into the script if needed, to be honest I don't think the public will care about past details like that since we all want him back and will be so happy the shows back on

[Ch28]

wonder if skinner or the smoking man will be in it

They interviewed Mitch Pileggi about it awhile back and he said that if Chris Carter writes Skinner into the storyline then he'd love to come back :D

This is awesome to hear

X-Files "Smoking Man" talks six-episode reboot | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2015/03/25/x-files-smoking-man-talks-six-episode-reboot/)

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – FOX has made it official, The X-Files is coming back to the small-screen for at least six episodes.

But will the iconic shot-in-Vancouver show come back to the “wet coast”?

In our search for the truth, we contacted the infamous arch-villain of the show, The Smoking Man.

“All I know for sure is that they are going to do it and they have checked to see if I’m available,” says William B. Davis, who portrayed the antagonist to Special Agent Fox Mulder’s protagonist for nine seasons, starting in 1993.

“They haven’t actually offered me anything at this point, but they seem to want to know if I’m available.”

Davis would be “thrilled to bits” to reprise the role and everything that went along with it.

“The circumstances, the scenes, the set, the characters, it would be terrific to do it again,” he tells News1130.

“The whole ambience of the show, the crew, the directors from Chris Carter down were so positive and exciting that it was just a joy to be a part of.”

As for whether The X-Files will once again use Metro Vancouver as its grey and gloomy backdrop, Davis believes it will happen.

“I understand that they have engaged a Vancouver casting director, the same one they had before, and my understanding is that they are going to shoot here in Vancouver.”

But in typical Smoking Man fashion, he doesn’t end on a definitive note.

“Of course nothing I say should be guaranteed!”

My brother got like 1 second of screen time from the Rogers Arena taping. I think we still have it on VHS somewhere.

[murd0c]

10 more mins!!!

[StylinRed]

eh, the episode felt weird, it kept jumping all over the place without any reasoning/transition scenes

hopefully tomorrow nights will make more sense

oh and the giant Burger King banner that counts down to the commercial break??? like :seriously:

i'll keep watching :/

[murd0c]

The next 4 episodes are going to be monster of the week which we are used to and the 6th and final one will continue on to tonights.

[SkinnyPupp]

Most of the reviews so far have been bad, but I don't know, I was never into X-Files. You probably have to be a huge fan to really appreciate it. I'll check it out anyway and see

I don't mind ads in the middle of TV shows actually. They have to make money somehow, and people are skipping ads most of the time. It's not like you're paying to watch each episode like you are with movies. Ads in movies is another thing though :rukidding:

[SupraTTturbo2jz]

episode was awesome for me...probably because I am a huge alien, conspiracies nut

[Tegra_Devil]

i liked it, but i followed xfiles before.

It did feel jumpy between scenes. sometimes i felt like i was missed a scene or 2, but i was sitting there the whole time

[Soundy]

Hey admins, I think someone needs to replace CiC's avatar with Tad's picture....

wow, night and day difference.....second episode was soooo much better

[Mr.Money]

i seen they had a prelude to why he joined X-files....
The aliens took his son?! :O

Mulder started the X-Files because he witnessed his sister being abducted when they were kids.

[quasi]

I never watch the original series but I did watch the first two episodes of the relaunch. It wasn't bad but I do agree with some of the other comments it jumps around a lot with no real transition between present and past.

[murd0c]

wow, night and day difference.....second episode was soooo much better

I agree, yesterdays episode was WAY better.. It's funny watching the opening it so felt like fridge and when Scully was doing the autopsy was feeling like Bones.. I started laughing because of course X-Flies paved the way for all of these shows but damn it feels so good to be watching it again!!

[pastarocket]

Episode two was great! :thumbsup:

It's a good thing that CTV is showing X-Files. You can always watch episodes on CTV.ca in case you miss one.

[StylinRed]

agreed 2nd episode was like a night and day difference

shame its monster of the week although it was well done, don't get me wrong I like the monster of the week eps, but with only 6 episodes I was hoping they would stick to the main storyline

[Tegra_Devil]

Are these 6 episodes just a pilot feeler? Or is this just a limited release no matter what?

[murd0c]

Are these 6 episodes just a pilot feeler? Or is this just a limited release no matter what?

Chris Carter said if the ratings are fantastic it is possible they might make more episodes.. All depends if David and Gillian would want to sign on for more

[murd0c]

I loved this weeks episode, typical fun monster of the week with tons of funny moments.. Mulders ring tone was awesome and the stoners from the beginning played stoners in a couple episodes from 20 years ago.

[hi-revs]

Is it just me or is Scully pretty freaggin hot! Aged so well

[twitchyzero]

i'll try to give ep 3 a try...really wasn't feelin' 1 & 2...I really don't think freak of the week is my thing any more...feels outdated. As for scully/mulder they're feeling pretty flat compared to the dynamics in Fringe which is practically influenced by x-files (lance Reddick, leonard nimoy, john noble just kills it). Hope we'll see more of the smoking man.

if anything it's been fun trying to id local spots on the set...downtown/bcit/ubc

[Soundy]

Given it's a six-episode deal, I'd expect it all to tie together in the end somehow.

[StylinRed]

It was a funny episode! cool seeing Tyler Labine reprise his stoner role :lol

mmm scully

[murd0c]

Given it's a six-episode deal, I'd expect it all to tie together in the end somehow.

The first and 6th episode tie in together and the other 4 are just their own story lines.

[EndLeSS8]

I don't care what the reviews say, I'm really enjoying all of the episodes very much. Ties in well, and they're great IMO

[murd0c]

This is what makes last nights episode so good

http://www.vulture.com/2016/02/x-files-easter-eggs-weremonster.html#


http://i.imgur.com/fWgCEd9.jpg
More than most, the latest episode of The X-Files ("Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster," written and directed by Darin Morgan) is filled to the brim with Easter eggs, callback characters, and other assorted references. We've attempted to gather as many of these as possible; fellow Philes, call out any we missed in the comments.

The two paint-huffing stoners (Tyler Labine and Nicole Parker Smith) in the teaser sequence previously appeared in a pair of season-three X-Files episodes: "War of the Coprophages" (also written by Morgan) and "Quagmire" (which Morgan did an uncredited rewrite on). "Do you ever think life is so amazing," one of them asks, "that maybe we shouldn't waste it by getting high all the time?" And more paint-huffing ensues. It's nice to see that, much like Mulder and Scully, time hasn't changed the two of them that much.

Mulder and pencils. Usually he throws them into the ceiling (the first episode where that happened was the killer-doll episode "Chinga," from season five, co-written by Stephen King). Here, Mulder throws his No. 2s like darts at the ever-present "I Want to Believe" one-sheet. "Mulder," says Scully, "what are you doing to my poster?" Glad she had a replacement after Mulder kicked and ripped another one in the season-ten premiere.

How Mulder dies. In their initial survey of the murder scene, Mulder remarks about how one of the victims might have taken a midnight stroll in the nude and been attacked by a wolf, a lion, and a bear all at the same time. "That's how I'd like to go out," says Mulder, clearly forgetting that in the Darin Morgan–penned season-three episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," the title character played by Peter Boyle (a semi-psychic who can predict how people are going to die) said the agent's life would end as a result of "autoerotic asphyxiation." Typical Mulder — always forgetting the important stuff.

How Scully dies. Speaking of "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," that was also the episode in which the Boyle character predicted Scully's demise: "How do I die?" she asks. Bruckman responds, with a gentle grin, "You don't." Hence Scully's "You forget … I'm immortal" quip to Mulder in this episode.

Porta Potties. The agents first come across Guy Mann (Rhys Darby) in a Porta Potty, which I like to think is a reference to a scene in the classic season-two episode "The Host" in which the sewage-dwelling Flukeman hides in a similar cartable toilet. And the guy who played the Flukeman? Darin Morgan, of course.





Guy Mann's human wardrobe is the same as Darren McGavin's character from the 1970s TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, which Chris Carter cites as a primary influence on The X-Files.

Alex Diakun. The peeping-tom motel owner is played by Canadian character actor Alex Diakun, who appeared in three prior Morgan-scripted X-Files episodes ("Humbug," "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," and "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'"), as well as in Morgan's season-two Millennium episode "Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me." He also shows up in another Millennium installment, the Chris Carter–penned "Lamentation," from season one. And he's the head-transplanting lead physician in the second X-Files movie, I Want to Believe (2008).

The red Speedo. When the motel owner peeps into Mulder's room, he sees the agent sleeping in the infamous red Speedo from the season-two mythology episode, "Duane Barry," which set so many viewer mouths to “drool.”

The graveyard sequence is especially dense with references. Mulder approaches, and lovingly touches, a tombstone engraved with the name of the late Kim Manners, the director who helmed the most X-Files episodes (52 in total), from his season-two debut ("Die Hand Die Verletzt") to the season-nine series finale ("The Truth"). The epigraph on the stone, "Let’s kick it in the ass," was a frequent Manners saying.

Jack Hardy. The tombstone Guy Mann is standing in front of is for the late Jack Hardy, an assistant director on two Chris Carter series — Millennium and The Lone Gunmen. He held the same position on the second X-Files movie, I Want to Believe. Julie Ng, who is working on the behind-the-scenes features for the season-ten X-Files Blu-ray, told me that Hardy was an especially beloved member of the Vancouver film community.

Mulder’s ringtone. After Mulder drinks himself into a stupor in the graveyard, he's woken up by his ringtone — the X-Files theme song, composed by Mark Snow.

Daggoo! Finally, we need to talk about Daggoo, the cute canine Guy Mann adopts and Scully later sneaks out of the animal shelter. This continues Morgan's trend of referencing Herman Melville's time-honored Moby-Dick. In the novel, Daggoo is one of the harpooneers on the Pequod, the ship captained by the tyrannical Ahab. In one of the Morgan-ghostwritten scenes for season three's "Quagmire," Scully likens Mulder to Ahab, and compares the agent's quixotic quest to Ahab's obsessive search for the great white whale. It's also in that episode that Scully's pet Pomeranian, Queequeg, who is introduced in "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," is eaten by an alligator. Queequeg is another character in Moby-Dick — a harpooneer on the Pequod and good friend to the novel's narrator, Ishmael. And as we found out in the season-one episode "Beyond the Sea" (co-written by Morgan's brother Glen), Scully was often referred to as "Starbuck" by her father — Starbuck being the Pequod's chief mate. No surprise Scully feels an immediate connection to Daggoo beyond his sheer adorableness.

[pastarocket]

What an awesome season finale! :thumbsup:

[murd0c]

it was fricken fantastic and thats the X-Files I grew to love, I guess it looks like they are doing another season now.

[EndLeSS8]

A lot of scathing reviews for the last 2 episodes, but personally, I really liked it! Highlight of the season was definitely Scully's struggle with her relationships and the "abandonment" of their son
