Today May 21 marks the *20th anniversary* of the airing of season 7 finale, “Requiem”. After all these years, given what followed, I still see this as the most apt point to call it a *series* finale, even if nothing had followed — no season 8, no movies, nothing. There is value to ending something instead of having eternal sequels and revivals and reboots, in any work of art. Would you rather have more and more of something with some good in increasingly less dense proportions, or a short compact run that shines for the ages? Fade out from overexploitation or be remembered as short and sharp?

“Requiem” was not perfect and the mythology of season 7 as a whole was lacklustre, partly due to many behind the scenes issues. But there is a poetic quality to ending things here: coming full circle at the site of the Pilot (the kind of thing you do for a finale, not a middle chapter). Mulder “discovering his Truth/God” with that abduction, Scully getting the unexpected pregnancy (which is less problematic if the show had stopped there and we didn’t play the games of season 8 and beyond), the negative counter-balancing the positive. A tragic end where the heroes are separated worthy of a theatre play or a classic novel. An ending which leaves the door open to the imagination like classic X-Files (will Mulder return? is Scully’s pregnancy a miracle?), which is more satisfying than the developments writers came up with afterwards in order to continue the story endlessly. Ending with a “bang” instead of in season 8 ending with the heroes together but with the mythology in shambles.

20 years since the 1990s ended, since The X-Files ended with no “to be continued”.


May 27, 2020 15:37

Finally saw the Breaking Bad movie #ElCamino! Memory refresher: in Vince Gilligan’s #ΤheXFiles episode “Paper Hearts”, child serial killer John Lee Roche’s car was also a 1970s El Camino; Mulder finds clues hidden in the car’s camper shell (Alice in Wonderland book and cloth hearts). The car and the camper shell are also featured in Gilligan’s movie! (and, no spoilers, but I half-expected Jesse to find what he was looking for in the camper shell)

Bonus trivia: in “Paper Hearts” the car is in Hollyville; in “El Camino” it’s at the address Holly & Arroz (Rice). Gilligan inserts many references to his girlfriend Holly Rice in his works!

turns 26 today, as the pilot aired this day in 1993!
Here is the oldest entry in our TenThirteen interviews database, dating from…August 1993, before the pilot had even aired and when Fox had not even made a full season order. Young 37-year-old Chris Carter said:

https://www.eatthecorn.com/itw/chicago-sun-times/

“There is no gunfire in the first six episodes,” he said. “I’m really concerned about violence in our society. There’s too much violence on television. Producers should be responsible, to a point, while telling an exciting story. Like ‘Murder, She Wrote,’ we’ll show the results of violence, not the act.”

Fond memories of ABC’s “The Night Stalker,” a 1974-75 series with Darren McGavin as a reporter tracking vampires and werewolves, gave Carter a “leaping-off point” when he started developing “The X-Files” last year. “That was a good, scary show,” he said. “And it aired on Friday nights, too.”

But “The Night Stalker” vanished after one season. Fox has ordered 13 episodes of “The X-Files.” In its most-unwanted time slot, it could be an ex-series by December.

“I’d rather air right after ‘The Simpsons,’ ” Carter said. “But I know Fox would never put me there.”

The new videogame hinted at by Chris Carter last year is upon us! It is developed by @[784484218558997:274:Storyscape] in collaboration with FOX, and consists of an interactive narrative/dialogue together with animation, for Android. The look of it reminds me a lot of last year’s “Deep State” Android game, but with more storytelling and less click-for-points. You play characters who come across Mulder and Scully and Skinner (and Doggett?) — this looks like a “next generation” story where new FBI agents are trained by the older.

–> It is written by Sean Kelley McKeever (who did comics prior). Interview: https://www.storyscape.com/en/blog/meet-the-agents

–> For now, only people in Canada and New Zealand can play the first 3 parts, “Trial by Ice”, but as with any game on the internet there’s already a gameplay video out there to get a taste:

Happy new year!

From Jim and Kelly’s welcome post to their preservation group:

” The X-Files Preservation Collection is now the home to many iconic pieces from the series and movies. We have thousands of screen used items and we are constantly searching for items to add. Once an item is here it remains here and we do all we can to preserve it.

The purpose of the collection is to Preserve the history of the series and to share it with other fans and create new fans. We are currently in the process of registering the collection as a Not for Profit LLC and will be opening a museum in 2020. We cannot wait to share our Preservation Collection with all of you. We have many plans and ideas to make it more of an experience than your usual museum. “

“To me, their journey is not done.” “I don’t think Chris intended season 11 to be the end.” – Frank Spotnitz on potentially more Mulder and Scully
“I was surprised by seasons 10 and 11. […] I’m not convinced that at least some of that wasn’t going to be twisted yet again if there had been another season.” – on William’s father
“A lot of the things that Chris and I talked about are sort of in conflict now with what happened in the last two seasons. […] I don’t really want to give away what I would do because part of me thinks that I would still have a chance to do it.” – on continuing the mythology

Mark Snow’s music! Coming Summer 2019 from @[56031953754:274:La-La Land Records]:
X FILES VOL 4
X FILES SEASON 11

Although Season 11 relied heavily on the soundtracks of IWTB and Season 10, there were some interesting cues, in particular in “Familiar” and “Nothing Lasts Forever”.

Volume 4 of the “original series” music is rumored to be the last one, so I hope it can deliver, with so much material to choose from! I expect it to have at least episodes not yet covered like Duane Barry/Ascension, Apocypha, Never Again or Memento Mori — but also I hope some cues from already covered episodes that still have some great unreleased material, like Conduit, The Erlenmeyer Flask, Talitha Cumi, Paper Hearts, Redux… and more!

I was interested in understanding why this new surge of conspiracism has appeared, knowing that historically, times of tumult and social upheaval tend to lead to a parallel surge in conspiracy thinking. I found some of my answer in our increasingly rigid class structure, one that leaves many people feeling locked into their circumstances and desperate to find someone to blame. I found it in rising disenfranchisement, a feeling many people have that they are shut out of systems of power, pounding furiously at iron doors that will never open to admit them. I found it in the frustratingly opaque US healthcare system, a vanishing social safety net, a political environment that seizes cynically on a renewed distrust of the news media.

What happens when an author re-writes a different author’s story 20 years later and sends confusing signals about rape (medical or otherwise) at a time of #metoo? You get awkward questions like this one, where WBDavis has to defend his original ideas for the CSM…

“Now just a moment here. I accept that Methuselah got handsy with Hilda in Sabrina, with that context. But I’m not sure that the Smoking Man got handsy with Scully. I think he was devoted to her, and admired her and found the common connection. I found a dinner scene where he confesses his loneliness to her quite human. But if you’re referring to what might have happened in the bedroom, I’m of the opinion that I did nothing wrong in that bedroom.

I mean what are you going to do? Somebody is unconscious, and you want to put them to bed, so you get your housekeeper to come and help put them to bed. That’s all. That’s all I thought ever happened. Smoking Man has many evil habits, but I don’t think that’s one of them.”

During his stay as a staff writer in season 3 in 1995, Jeff Vlaming filled an entire wall of his office with one alien drawing per episode! Can you identify them all? (last 2 of s3 missing) From his blog: https://vlam-ink.blogspot.com/2011/09/x-files-meets-banksy.html following up on yesterday’s doodle posted by @[324099084726810:274:Frank Spotnitz]

So the FOX CEOs who liked Carter and were responsible for getting revival off the ground did not survive the merger with Disney. New CEO Charlie Collier excludes no possibility in the endless stream of reboots and revivals of our time, when asked about X-Files or 24: “One at a time we’ll talk to the creators and see if they have a vision that we can share with the studios. If we do and we can make the economics work, we’d look at them all.” #TCA2019

As we reach the one-year anniversary of the end of the “My Struggle” saga and the end of revival, we present this in-depth criticism of what went wrong with the revival, by our friend Demijan. An unfiltered and unrelentling analysis of a great many aspects of the revival, in particular the mythology, this essay is something that could have only been produced by a big fan of the show, and it is only so negative as the revival is different from what came before.
