october 16th?, i swear i heard abotu duchovney dropping the bombshell on this one a good month or so ago *wonders off pondering* Yeah, you're right. Duchovney and Carter have been mentioning a sequel for years now. At least now it seems like they mean it. I loved the X-Files, so bring it on.

i didnt watch it much, a bit beofre my time, but even though i never seem to sit down to watch rereuns the first few seasons especially were fantastic. a better pilot ep than many scifi shows out today.

I was there from the beginning and it was a great show, occasionally had its wobbles, but all shows do. The movie was good, so I'd definitely be up for a second. One of these days I'll have to get all the box sets and have an uber-marathon.

The first few seasons were fantastic...it tailed off towards the end though and I lost interest. I hear that the movie is going to be "supernatural" in theme...no ET's, abductions, plans for ID4 style take overs etc.

I hear that the movie is going to be "supernatural" in theme...no ET's, abductions, plans for ID4 style take overs etc. Well...that was done with the first movie. They would just be repeating themselves to do it again. Not to mention that the alien conspiracy was 90% of the show.

[MinionZombie]

The whole alien conspiracy thing taking over at times during the show was a bit of a turn off, nothing seemed to happen much or resolve, got kind of boring and samey, I enjoyed the stuff where it was 'one off' episodes, like that family of absolute freaks living in the mountains, damn that was messed up - what episode was that, anyone know? The alien conspiracy stuff was good, but there was a bit too much of it perhaps, but then again there were a boatload of episodes, so it's bound to happen.

[Geophyrd]

David Duchovny was once interviewed about the alien conspiracy and he commented that people would be really mad if they knew how little went into it. The mythos of the show was wrapped around the idea of what in the heck is going on? Then, of course, the writers didn't know. By the time they'd realized what they'd done, they were in a tight corner that was making too much money to stop. So, they threw more things at it until it became totally unwieldy. In other words, they did what I REALLY REALLY hope the Lost people aren't doing.

[MinionZombie]

Nah I think there's more thought going into the whole Lost thing, especially with the last 3 seasons, they have a definite point of closure they're working towards, and also with the depth they go into, as well as the cultural clues (sure fire sign that the writers are well-read and intelligent folks). Lost gets a lot of dismissive crap thrown it's way, just because it's popular, or other silly reasons...it's like the term "torture porn" leveled at certain horror films, it's childish, dismissive and a pain in my ass.

oooh, listen to the burn of that raw nerve

Well...that was done with the first movie. They would just be repeating themselves to do it again. Not to mention that the alien conspiracy was 90% of the show. um..........yea......... they dealt with "unexplained" cases....so why wouldnt aliens be almost all of the show?

[bassman]

um..........yea......... they dealt with "unexplained" cases....so why wouldnt aliens be almost all of the show? Yeah, I get what you're saying. I was referring to the normal movie-going audience that aren't fans of the show. That's one thing that was great with "fight the future".....it was also enjoyable to people that weren't already fans. To do that over again might seem unenjoyable to audiences, ya know? And....the movie wrapped up the conspiracy quite well. With exception of the cornfields in the end, that is. I know most of the show was about the alien conspiracy, but to be honest, my favorite episodes were the ones about random sh*t.

[MinionZombie]

oooh, listen to the burn of that raw nerve Sick burn maybe, but it's the sick burn of truth my friend.

[Legion2213]

Aliens were the core of the show...spooky supernatural stuff could be done by anybody. I did like some of the "random" non-alien stories....like those little bugs in the forest that were cocooning folks, or one of the first shows with "Stanley Toomes" (mutant bloke who could squeeze through bars and stuff).
