#mythXplained Sein&Zeit/Closure: In the mythology-lightest season ever it certainly looks like #XFiles is heading towards its end — and here comes a double-parter like no other, introspective and elegiac, that even if it doesn’t fit well with the rest of the mythology, it never fails to generate some strong emotions. Thank you David Duchovny, Kim Manners and Moby, among others, for those life-defining moments in Mulder’s life.

#mythXplained [catching-up!] “En Ami”: WBDavis writes so he can share some scenes with Gillian A, and CCarter & FSpotnitz take the opportunity to seamlessly incorporate this into the s7 mythology: the CSM’s cynical resignation, hints that Scully oculd have been manipulated, further parallels of the alien and the divine

#mythXplained Requiem: s7 ends, and with it a certain life of the show. If there’s any novelistic quality to the overall story of the X-Files, a story with beginning middle and end, then Requiem could very well have been the end! The fates of the characters, tragic or open-ended, are appropriate for a show like XF. Not the end of the series, mostly due to non-XF issues at Fox, but still, this is a memorable and landmark episode.

Three years ago was Dec-22-2012, a most significant date for X-Files fans for over a decade. Some years after the lukewarm reception of the second movie and before the IDW comics were announced, interest on XF was on an all-time low and its future was at stake. At the time I wrote:

“Would Carter accept anything less than a theatrical release? Actually, sometimes it feels like the unlikelihood of an X-Files feature film is linked to the desire for it to be a theatrical feature, which is inherently more expensive. As if Carter and the X-Files wanted to “graduate” from TV to the big screen, while top-rate directors do not stop at the opportunity of doing the opposite (the Martin Scorcese-directed pilot of Boardwalk Empire reportedly cost $ 18 million) and many recognize that the 1970s kind of inventivity that existed in movies has now shifted to television. In a shifting environment for movie-making, the X-Files could take advantage of new means of release, distribution and funding, such as an exclusive television event, direct-to-video with special theatrical screenings, Japanese-inspired V-Cinema, Video On Demand pre-orders, iTunes premiere or YouTube premiere, funding from multiple sources (see 2012’s Cloud Atlas), international sale bundled with an HD remastering of the entire series, the economies on special effects and on-location shooting using full-greenscreen”

…and here we are some 3 years later barely one month from the release of not a third film but truly one of these alternative solutions mentioned above! D-29 days.

#mythXplained The Beginning (catching up!): Opening shot: a big Californian sun! XF moves production to Los Angeles, changes a big part of its crew, and has to deal with less “free mood” from the rainy Vancouver and higher production costs all around. Still manages to transition from both s5 and the movie in this second pilot of sorts. The closing scene ties everything back together in the alien life cycle.

Official synopsis: #XFilesRevival 10X01: My Struggle

“My Struggle”
THE X-FILES HAVE BEEN RE-OPENED!! THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE TWO-NIGHT SEASON PREMIERE OF “THE X-FILES” AIRS SUNDAY, JANUARY 24 ON FOX SUN JAN 24 7/8c

Thirteen years after the original series run, the next mind-bending chapter of the thrilling series THE X-FILES has arrived. FOX MULDER (David Duchovny) and DANA SCULLY (Gillian Anderson) have been contacted by TAD O’MALLEY (guest star Joel McHale), a popular conspiracy theorist web-TV show host who believes he has uncovered a significant government conspiracy. With the assistance of FBI Asst. Dir. WALTER SKINNER (Mitch Pileggi), O’Malley seeks to enlist the help of former X-Files agents Mulder and Scully, who have since severed ties with the FBI. Through O’Malley they are introduced to SVETA (guest star Annett Mahendru), a possible alien abductee who shares shocking information with them that will challenge everything that Mulder has ever believed about the existence of aliens and the government’s role in covering them up. “My Struggle,” the premiere episode of THE X-FILES, airs Sunday, January 24 (7:00-8:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

#mythXplained “Two Fathers”/”One Son”: after not much of a build-up in the first half of the season, it’s time for the big reveal! The adding of layers to an ever-complexifying mythology stops, the cards are all laid on the table and the pieces are ranked in chronological order. It’s the end of the mythology that was developed over five and a half years, the quality of which the X-Files will try to imitate afterwards. After this, it’s a different show. The andswers are here

#mythXplained “Biogenesis”! The mytharc leaves the abysmally tangled web and moral tale of the Syndicate years, and heads towards a magnificently elegiac exploration of religion, science and spirituality. This results in EatTheCorn’s longest review by far:

6X22: Biogenesis / 7X03: The Sixth Extinction / 7X04: The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati

SCULLY: It began with an act of supreme violence–
a big bang expanding ever outward, cosmos born of matter and gas,
matter and gas ten billion years ago. Whose idea was this?
Who had the audacity for such invention? And the reason?
Were we part of that plan ten billion years ago? Are we born only to die?
To be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth before giving way to
our generations? If there is a beginning, must there be an end?
We burn like fires in our time only to be extinguished. To surrender
to the elements’ eternal reclaim. Matter and gas… will this all end one day?
Life no longer passing to life, the Earth left barren like the stars above,
like the cosmos. Will the hand that lit the flame let it burn down?
Let it burn out? Could we, too, become extinct? Or if this fire of life
living inside us is meant to go on, who decides? Who tends the flames?
Can he reignite the spark even as it grows cold and weak?
