Re: The X Files is back!
 

Have to disagree abut the new series. It has felt very sincere and well worth the wait. I can't remember how the series ended either but the second movie was rubbish. This has felt like a much better continuation and hope there will be more.

Episode 3 was a right laugh and was meant to be totally toungue in cheek and a bit of a not serious mickey take of itself.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

l thought it was pretty reasonable myself.

I'm recording them on ch5 - going to wait 'till it's finished then watch them all at once.

Hope it's worth the wait :)

Re: The X Files is back!
 

Wasnt keen on Ep 4, worst so far IMO.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

I haven't seen any of the new ones yet but if they are as bad as people say they are (or at least not as good as expected) then hopefully Fox will throw a tonne of dosh at the next season and they'll get some fantastic writers and spend the time to hammer out some cracking stories like we are used to. They can do it with 24 and Homeland so X-Files should be no exception.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

Why would Fox bother doing that when it's still getting great ratings despite the quality not being very good?

The writers for the "revival" are the same as for the original run, anyway - including the show's creator Chris Carter. Can't see Fox ditching him.

Not sure why you mentioned Homeland. It's not from Fox, and - unlike 24 and The X Files (and Prison Break and Heroes) - it didn't get cancelled after going down the toilet only to later be resurrected years later.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

I've enjoyed them all but then, maybe I am ust happy to see it back.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

I get that, but most of the time they do these kind of episodes after 5 series' or so, not the 3rd episode of the 1st series.

That episode totally ruined it for me.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

It's not exactly the first series, but instead season 10 ;)

Re: The X Files is back!
 

It is definitely coming back:

The X-Files returned to FOX for season 10 earlier this year, and there is a season 11 planned – it is really a matter of finding time in the busy schedule of the stars and others involved.
Chris Carter spoke with Digital Spy about the series in a new interview, and he gave fans the latest update on the next season of the series, which stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. He said the following:

“There was talk of trying to film them in November, but that said, that would mean I would have to be getting to work right now, and I’ve not even made the calls. I’d have to go into very quick action to make that happen, so, until someone gives me a clear idea about when they would actually have open schedules to film episodes, I’m going to continue on my vacation.”

X-Files Season 11 starts in the US (Fox) on Jan 3 2018, the season consists of 10 episodes.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

Well the first episode was ok I guess, not a big fan of the whole "it was a dream/vision/whatever" thing.

At least we got some proper history on the smoking man at last.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

I felt it was a better start than last years series opener.

Good to finally get some back story to the smoking man.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

I haven't seen any of the new ones yet. Because the BBC dicked about when they originally aired years ago and never told you when it was the end of the season or when it was coming back, and it just randomly disappeared, I think I have only ever seen up to season 6. I am working my way through them properly atm and have just started season 4 and am looking forward to catching up with the newer ones.

As an fyi though, this may be the last season because Gillian Anderson won't be coming back.

Re: The X Files is back!
 

I am sure that BBC eventually lost the rights and the final 2-3 series ended up airing on Sky1.

I do remember that even though it aired at 9pm there were a few episodes the BBC didn't show till 11pm. Fire was one that I remember not being on till that time.
