Do I need to watch Angel in tandem with Buffy?

Not really. They do some crossover but I wouldn't say it's required. Angel is worth watching too though. Like Buffy, season one is probably the weakest.

You should. Later Angel episodes are amazing. More comedy than horror and a certain pale vampire steals the show in season 5. That's also the season with one of the cruelest gut punches ever.
On topic:
Everything X-Files related tanked after the first movie. Lone Gunmen. Millenium. They would need a completly new spin on the show, and I don't mean "now everyone is just black".

As a fellow life long fan (3 rewatches) how could you want this to fail? Ryan Coogler is a fucking catch, Sinners was one of the best films in a long time and the dude is writing/directing the pilot ffs, the best thing they've done is bounce Chris Carter down to non writing executive producer as ther guy cant fucking hack it anymore with those last seasons of Xfiles being utterly abysmal, he's still stuck in that 90's way of thinking. A new cast means we have a chance of revisiting Mulder & Scully if this thing kicks off AND above all else we get a motherfucking FBI show about Aliens/Supernatural shit hopefully shot from a modern realistic perspective and with modern effects!, i cant fucking wait to be honest.
‘The X-Files’ Reboot Casts Danielle Deadwyler to Star, Ryan Coogler to Direct
Hulu has officially greenlit a pilot to revive the classic UFO series, with the 'Sinners' filmmaker writing and directing.www.hollywoodreporter.com
This is gonna to be dead on arrival
As a life long X-Files fan, I hope this bombs hard

Fun Fact: People fucking HATED each other on that set. This is one where the only chance of it existing is a full reboot.I wouldn't mind if they brought back Fringe though

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
X-Files was awesome but yeah that whole UFO / alien arc was a mess. It never made sense and nothing ever came of it or was resolved.

The problem is that the UFO/ alien story arc will never have a satisfactory conclusion, because the X-Files was always basing its 'mythology' on real world events. There is no way to have a satisfactory conclusion as long as the alien/ UFO narrative continues in real life.
It is funny though how the 'reboot' seasons 10 and 11 tried to incorporate many current conspiracies and even insert an Alex Jones like character. When Mulder finally got to see the triangle UFO (The TR3B as it is refereed to) in season 10 (2016) that first made its debut in season 1 back in 1993.
The scientist explaining how it worked literally used Bob Lazar's alleged claim that it runs on Element 115. Is basically using Bob's description. Bob Lazar first talked about Element 115 when he apparently blew the lid off of Area S2 back in 1989 with George Napp and Art bell on Coast to Coast AM. Bob Lazar's claimed were further amplified with his appearance on Joe Rogan, which hit 65+ million views, and is Joe Rogan's most viewed video.
The Alien story thread just could never come to any proper conclusion, and would step over itself from previous seasons.
The Monster of the Week Episodes were much more equivocal to Weekly World News stories, Tabloid fodder and just creative writing from the writing pool. Those could easily be written off as one-off plots with no actual conclusions. The real FBI X-Files were the 'uneXplained' category that never had any real follow ups.

The best X-Files episodes where monster of the week. The main episodes were meh at best.
But that was back then where tv series had 20+ episodes per season.
Current tv series have at best ~10 episodes, so little chance for those excellent monster of the week episodes.

Hollywood's unending quest to find every single thing we might have liked when we were younger and destroy it will only end when there is literally nothing left to destroy?
