Some people just can't watch old stuff apparently. I know someone that hates anything pre 90s, like even godfather or taxi driver.

Man, best news. My old VHS tapes are still around somewhere.
I only watched through season 5 then went off to college. Netflix has been great getting back into some older episodes over the past few years.
And Gillian did and still does look great, SD or not.

Thank you for this. I really want some mythology answers.
I really need to rewatch season 8 (or all of it, really). Season 8 was my favorite but I am damned if I can remember why Scullys baby was important.

Do you guys think it'll follow the comics at all? Like did you buy these for no reason ?
It does not follow the season 10 comics at all from what I read.
I hope we get a proper Blu-Ray release of the series since Fox is sitting on the HD transfers:

I'd be surprised if it didn't set up 2 new younger agents who would lead a new series if these 6 eps did will. I don't think Anderson and Duchovny would do more full seasons but I'm sure they'd occasionally pop in the new series every now and again as special guests...
Some juicy tibits:

The smoking man has been confirmed to be back. The show will be using the same studio as the original and will be shot in Vancouver. You can now do your happy dance!

No.
From a liveblog of a Comic-Con panel a couple years ago:

Man, I watched the shit out of that show and even I'm confused by what the truth is behind William. Different factions in the show seemed to believe different things. All I know is that
he has telekenetic powers and can interact with alien technology, which I think leads to the thought that he's part alien. I think one of the last William episodes involves Spender injecting him with some shit that's supposed to have taken his powers away, but there was never any real confirmation on that, so fuck Spender
The location I'm cool with. The other bit of news, I don't think I care for that too much. I was happy with the way he went out in the series.

Ugh.
Its good I didn't buy the rest of that season then.
I always imagined, Mulder becoming a writer, and writing semi best selling Unexplained Files books under a pseudonym . Or working as a PI for odd occurances . or both.

X-Files looks amazing in its uncropped 35mm format:

Me too! I just LOVE listening to "Teotihuacan" from the FTF album. Which was later remixed as "Keep What Ya Got" in 2004.

Unless Chris Carter pulls a David Lynch strop and walks away this is gearing up to be an amazing revival. Skinner was one of the best characters because he teetered so finely between loyalty and bureaucracy.
Now get the Lone Gunmen back and I'll be in heaven.

That makes no sense but
glad they'll be back in Vancouver. The show's downward spiral started when they moved production.

I don't understand. I remember when X-Files ended on TV the last episode literally
Is there something I missed?
Was the beginning of the Alien invasion, and Mulder and Scully are talking in the desert, and then it is all over. The aliens are coming.

Yes, there is something you missed.
The aliens weren't coming then. They were coming in 2012 with the whole Mayan calendar thing. Their discussion was about how after all they've done, nothing has changed and the date for invasion hasn't moved. But the date at the time was still far away. Then they never got to make a movie in 2012, so it's now kinda awkward.

Yes amazing and one of the greatest seasons ever.
Anyway this is a dream come true, we need more than 6!

Kinda stinks its only 6 episodes. Hopefully it will shatter rating records and it will get a full series order.
It sounds like the actors don't want to do a full 22 episode season, though if it's successful maybe we will get some more shorter seasons.

I loved Skinner. He had some good episodes, especially the one where he bangs the ghost. As silly as that sounds, I think that's one of the more underrated eps of the series, really showed the guy's humanity behind the buttoned up stern exterior he projected for most of its run. Also love the cold cock he gives Krycek when Mulder drags him to the apartment. Such a badass. Glad to hear he's back.
edit: Jesus I remembered that episode wrong lol. Its been awhile!

The cigarette smoking man got a rocket to the face and blew up. Didn't stop him from being announced as back. He was also dying of cancer at the time of his "death"
Bring back Krycek too please!
Cigarette Smoking Man/Spender got blown into pieces. But the X-Files have had plenty of creatures that have defied death. Of course the simplest way to bring him back is through cloning since that was a long-established technology the Aliens were using along with the Syndicate. More far-fetched means would be the tech that the Super Soldiers are made out of who can't be killed unless exposed to a particular element.
I'm kinda torn between both being pumped and disappointed that he's back. His fate was fitting in that he lost all his power, became physically crippled and ended up dying along in a rock.
Skinner being back is awesome. He was a nice sight to see in the Second film albeit brief his time was. Still wondering how they'll manage to reconcile all these things for only a 6 episode season. They really should have made it 12 eps.

Yeah, he could have been a clone hybrid or something that got blown up. They've established that just about anything weird can happen in the show, so it's not really a stretch.

I went to high school in a suburb of Seattle and during an assembly in the gym one day I looked across to the other side of the bleachers and my eyes went wide. I leaned over and asked my friend, "Is that William B Davis?" He looked over and started laughing. Dude was the spitting image of Smoking Man. Wouldn't have surprised me either if it was, pretty sure he lived in Vancouver BC and even ran an acting school there. Why he'd be attending a random assembly at our school however was lost on me. Should have stalked the dude afterwards and asked for an autograph :/

Jesus.
See I disagree here. When you continually bait and switch the death or removal of characters in a show you start to stretch the audiences faith if not the shows internal logic.
Showing the main cast escaping peril = OK. Having
Fox coming back dead after being abducted by Aliens then miraculously having survive through symbiosis with an Alien virus that was turning him into an Alien clone which was stopped with anti-virals = Errrrm. Having CSM dying of cancer immobile only to get thrown down the stairs implying him surely dead only to have him return in the finale to get blown up by rockets only to announce his actor (if not his character) will be returning for this = not OK.
It's continual 'ha!' moments that lost me as much as the focus on the TOTAL GLOBAL SATURATION conspiracy elements towards the end. The fun of the X-Files for me was Mulder and Scully slumming it in the basis having banter and solving odd things happening. That probably will still happen but I feel it will be buried under the weight of other baggage it's accumulated.

In the "season 10 comic" that was "canon" until just now (whoops!)
both the gunmen and cig man are alive. Gunmen was a faked death. Cig man is some sort of resurrected thing.
First movie is set after season 5 while the second movie was released after the series finished.
Enjoy the ride. Still a few very good seasons ahead of you.

Thank you
I used to watch them when I was young but the episodes are blurs to me, hence me watching (and enjoying) them right now.
Do the episodes hold up story wise or does it go downhill somewhere?

Aww man when did we go from 13 episodes to 6? Whatever still hyped.

The monster of the week episodes hold up quite well, but the conspiracy stuff is a bit bloated by the end. When it aired I loved the conspiracy episodes, but in hindsight the payoff is not what I hoped it would be. It's a slow decline though, and still entertaining, but they kind of "lost it" by the end. And the finale is kind of disappointing...

An actress who I am going to work with in a web series I am creating is good friends with William B. Davis. She went to his acting school and they keep in touch regularly. I asked if there's anyway she could get him in my show. Of course I knew there wasn't.

Wait, they had to get a special permission from Fox to do cold opens? Isn't that format more common than ever on television? Justified, Better Call Saul, Hannibal... basically every show I watch seems to use the cold open each episode.
