Maybe there is something happening this time.

I would not mind…no, I take that back…I would **applaud** an X-Files film if they started the film as if that finale really happened. A lot has happened in the world since the show went off the air (such as 9/11, the Iraq invasion) and so, just maybe some alien conspiracy was halted somehow. I’d like to see the two agents come in from where they are now.

I would hate to find out that the last season was one of the following:

* an extended mushroom cave trip;

* stuck in the First Person Shooter game;

* Bad Mulder dream during his disappearance.

Skinner would have to be a major supporting character; maybe Amin Mueller Stahl’s character (who was never seen again since the film, mentioned once and is really the only one left from the council still alive?) I also would not mind Robert Patrick again as Doggett.
I’d get the alien thing in briefly to bring folks up to speed, then go on with a creature-esque dude like Tooms. or an (re)introduction to “Monty Props”, a satanic serial killer (sort of like the Night Stalker) who was captured by Mulder just prior to taking on the X-Files.

Just something other than UFO’s and conspiracies for awhile.

See, I have to strongly disagree with the int’l friends on this. I do not want a gimmick that says ‘this and that’ didn’t happen. That cheapens things and cheats an audience. This isn’t freaking Highlander, y’know.

It’s the X-Files.

Or “Jump the Shark” was coined after the episode of Happy Days when Fonzie jumps his motorcycle over a tank with a shark in it.

Its often said that Happy Days was never the same from that episode on, so now when a show has set a downward spiral, people say it has Jumped the Shark.

Just in case you didn’t already know that.

I believe Fox studios had not paid Chris Carter for his services during the last season of the X-Files. So, if there are talks it means A) the lawsuit was settled, B) the movie will be done without Chris Carter.

John, I agree…WORST…ENDING…EVER.

On a slightly different topic, was anyone else surprised that the Lone Gunmen were killed off? Anyone know the reason (tin foil hat theory time).

Even worse, its a dead franchise that jumped the shark big time.

Its only hope would be – surprise, surprise – a reboot. No real loss because the series never had a proper resolution anyhow.

The movie got me into the show. I thought it was a great movie and i hope they make another. And i agree with john that the series finale sucked ass. And yes yes… Gillian Anderson is hot.
