Because that's not how we handle TV show spoilers? Once its aired it's fair game, especially in a thread about a upcoming season. I could understand if it's a thread not about the show but come on there's a limit on old TV shows.
X-Files Officially Returning for 6-episode Season 10

My best friend's sister is the hugest X Files fan, probably in the world. No kidding. She heard about this and is planning on throwing a party to watch it. I was never a big fan of the show but I really liked the movie. I think they're both great actors and am surprised they didn't go on to star in huge films. Though I guess Duchovny had an issue with alcohol and sex addiction so I understand why he didn't: content to just spend his money and plow through Hollywood.
That's an interesting casting. I've never seen him in any kind of dramatic role, if that's what this is. X-Files wasn't devoid of situational comedy moments though.

Curious to see him in a possible a serious role. The guy is just not funny.
This would be the best solution,just for the nostalgia factor

I could see McHale as an obnoxious FBI agent/foil to Mulder & Scully, à la Krycek in the second season.
Putting in spoilers just in case people in this thread are going on media blackout,, but classic X-files episode may be getting a sequel in the upcoming season 10:

That's surprising news.
I want another "Pusher" episode, or something that matches the caliber of Gilligan's best episodes.
Darin Morgan is still on board, right? I'm sure his episode is going to be amazing.

Is that the one where they look like mole people and bury a baby at the start?

Yeah, but I didn't think they looked like mole people. Aren't mole people small? These guys looked like sasquatch hillbillies.

It first came up with Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, where he says that he can't see her ever dying. And is further followed up on when she investigates the photographer that says that he can't die because death came for him and then got someone else. She gets shot by Doggett and then at the last minute the photographer takes her place, which might make her immortal like he was.

The mythology episodes are noted on the Wikipedia page, I think ("Episodes marked with a double dagger (double-dagger) are episodes in the series' Alien Mythology arc").
Honestly, I would give Season 6 and 7 a chance. They both have some superb standalone episodes:
Season 6:
- "Drive" (Vince Gillian and Bryan Cranston's first collaboration)
- "Dreamland I" and "Dreamland II"
- "How The Ghosts Stole Christmas,"
- "Monday" (It's amazing -- another great one from Vince Gilligan [and John Shiban])
- "Arcadia" (A favourite among many fans -- a very, very fun episode)
- "Milagro"
- "The Unnatural"
- "Field Trip" (Yet another Shiban and Gilligan masterstroke -- this episode is tremendous!)
Season 7:
- "Hungry" (Did I mention that Vince Gilligan's contributions to this show are incredible? This is another example of his considerable talents)
- "Rush"
- "The Goldberg Variation"
- "The Amazing Maleeni"
- "X-Cops"
- "En Ami"
- "Hollywood A.D."
- "Je Souhaite" (Gilligan!)
I'm listing all of these standalone episodes to argue that you'd really be doing yourself a disservice by sticking only to the mythology episodes to prepare yourself for the new season. An embarrassment of riches lies outside the strictures of the mythology, as exciting as that aspect of the show can be, and this shouldn't ignored! You'd be missing out on so much greatness. Seriously.
There's lots of good mythology-centric episodes, as well: "Two Fathers" and "One Son" from Season 6 are major, and "Sein und Zeit" and the rather excellent "Closure" are very important as far Mulder and Samantha are concerned. You should watch all of the mythology episodes, but definitely make room for the standalone gems.

If I remember correctly wasn't the series supposed to last only 5 seasons or something?

The Season 6 premiere picks up where the Season 5 finale left off, though.

OH MY GOD!
It's finally happening.
Any news on what direction these six episodes will take? Will we get any development on the alien invasion plot or is that pretty much abandoned at this point and this is just a set of random X-Files episodes?
I may be in the minority but I put season 8 really high. It had the most mythology episodes and I felt the were fairly strong (if confusing to me). Plus that season 8 finale was pretty intense when I was young. I'd say it was above 7 and on par with 6.
Season 9 I hardly remember and was fairly bored with the show at that point. Looking forward to a re-watch.

I could go either way with the alien mythology stuff (as long as they don't bore me to death), but I can't do without those sweet sweet MotW eps <3

I need to watch the series all the way through before this airs in January. I used to watch it almost every weeknight for 2-3 years when I was in Middle school as it'd always be on at 11 PM, I'd watch it before I went to bed. I never have sat down and just watched it, and I haven't seen the whole entire show, any of the episodes with context of what season they were in, and I haven't seen any of the series at all in years.
I've secretly been holding out for them to maybe one-day release those HD-versions they have of the episodes, but fuck it, going to have to try to watch all 200 episodes and the movies before January comes around.

The entire run in widescreen HD is now up on US Netflix. If you're outside the US you can use a DNS spoofing service like unblock-us or a browser extension like Hola to access it.

I wonder what the breakdown will be. Premiere will be mythology. A two parter, maybe? If so, there's the first two. Then 3, 4 and 5 are standalone, and the finale is a mythology episode. Or they could end it on a standalone and use the penultimate episode for the last mythology story.
By the way, this is obvious, but we might get more if this is successful, so this isn't necessarily going to be a tidy wrapping up of the series' loose threads.

Absolutely this. I have faith in Chris Carter.

Wait, it is!? Why did no one tell me? When did this happen? o.o Last I checked several months ago people were hoping one day Fox would release these.
Well it pushes my intent to watch the whole series before January, certainly.

NICE!
I haven't really been keeping up, is this more a test to see how its received before we get a full order or is this likely to be it?
Have you guys watched the remastered X-Files on netflix?
The quality is superb. A lot of it looks like it could've been shot yesterday. It's uncanny watching this show in crystal clear high definition. It's very strange watching a 90s show like this. It's kind of like viewing those recolorized pictures of World War I - you normally think of that war in terms of black and white, and it becomes weird when you see it as it really was for the first time.
