This behind the scenes video from seasons 2-3 includes rare clear footage of the demon form of serial killer/”death fetishist” Donnie Pfaster from “Irresistible”. The final cut of the episode was much more subtle, with only one very quick shot of the black silhouette of the demon included.

“It’s one of ‘The X-Files” longest-running themes: The fear that the government is monitoring people,” Geller said. “And it was true.” “Trump didn’t get elected because of hate or love,” she said. “He got elected because we cannot trust our own government. People feel so cynical they elected someone who has never been a part of government.” “Mulder’s great hope was that if he could find the truth and hold onto it long enough that the truth revealed would be a game changer,” Pearson said. “The reality these days is even if you have irrefutable proof, will anyone believe you?”

This sounds a lot like a direct adaptation of Harris’ Season 10/11 comics: is he just adapting them for audio drama, or retconning them into the revival continuity? Interesting.

Future of XF with same or less participation from Carter? Professional reviewers are more and more vocal about this. My opinion is he still has a great feel for big story ideas so I can’t imagine XF without him, but the way ideas are translated into plot and then dialogue, and even on things like photography, he badly needs steering and second opinions. What do people think?

Duchovny reflects on how short and brutish was “season 10”. Interesting that he just considered it just “a start”! Season 12-13-14 here we come!
–
“We are gonna shot 10 episodes, starting in August. I feel like 6 was a start. Unfortunately, I think, there is such a gap to cover and so much story to tell that by the time we could get going on new stuff we were already half-way through the season. So I think 10 will be a little more comprehensible, a little more relaxed, a little less dense so I’m looking forward to this iteration? of the show.”

2 years ago, the XF revival was essentially announced at the Television Critics Association annual event. Today, the future looks…complicated. *IF* (and as time goes by, it’s an “if”) there are new episodes, most likely it won’t be before “Fall 2018 or [Winter] 2019”, according to FOX — i.e. 3 years later after the My Struggle II cliffhanger! And as time goes by, I believe that FOX’s patience with the Carter-DD-GA trio will decrease, and FOX’s appetite for an inevitable reboot with different people involved will increase.

Duchovny reflecting on last year’s revival: he had mixed feelings about the 2016 return. “I was happy to come back and do it,” he says, “and there were some episodes that worked better than others, but I thought that six was too few. We had to find too much ground to make up, too much backstory to tell and then it ended up there wasn’t enough [story] left to do. So, I feel like the next time if we did it, we’d do more episodes. Certainly never 22 again, but more than six. It’d be a better story to tell.”

Also, the usual about more: “Very possible,” says Duchovny. “At this point it looks good, but I don’t have anything specific to tell you. But we’re all kind of crouching.”

On the occasion of the US elections tomorrow, here’s a topical article: X-Files, Trump and conspiracy theories: they’re all connected! – article by @[24351219578:274:Leonard Pitts].
Conspiracy theories have become both more name-dropped in the mainstream and become more vehemently anti-science since the 1990s. Hitting too close to home or yet one more source of disinformation to disprove — the sense of uneasiness that conspiracy theories generate today is perhaps one reason why Carter’s kitchen-sink conspiracy episodes in the revival were not as well received as in the past.

S11 of The X-Files will not happen. At least not before a long while. Anne Simon: “We just know that negotiations have ended. But to me, it doesn’t mean that something can’t change and they can start again. I do not know why negotiations ended. Probably no one wants to offend, in hopes that resumption is possible. My guess.” So long for the feelings right after S10 that treated S11 as a done deal.

X-Files brings a lot of money for FOX to completely let it go, so my guess is that we will certainly see more of X-Files later. S10 talks and negotiations started in 2013-2014 for a 2016 airing date, so we might not see S11 before 2019. By then I cannot imagine that FOX won’t have developed plans for a “Next Generation” type soft reboot of the series, independently from CC, GA and DD — sadly, this is the way franchises go. S11 might even be a TV-movie also serving as a backdoor pilot for the next generation. All possibilities exist. But CC should not take anything for granted, and plan for an ending.

Spotnitz on the (2002) ending of @[362989843738755:274:The X-Files]: “If I could do it over again, I would focus more on the characters’ journey and less on the plot.”

This is an unprecedented confession from a key person in the making of the series and its mythology — an acknowledgement that goes beyond self-congratulation and into critical review of one’s own work. Spotnitz is careful not to say anything over-critical about Carter or any of his colleagues, but the point is made.

*If* a “season 11” happens and *if* Spotnitz gets involved, this would also point towards an increased focus on character arcs and less on resolving mythology plot threads. At this point, some resolution of any sort would be more than welcome.

More XF? FOX confirms: “There are significant talks with all three principals” “We’re in conversations where we can do more. I don’t see a full season of episodes, but I’d be happy to get 10 or 8 episodes.” So, in 2017-18?

Interesting retrospective from Dana Walden: “The show was off the air for a very long time. It was introduced to new viewers, and (the writers) had the challenge of filling in the mythology. Going forward, there won’t be the same obligation to reset the series.” So the bad reviews were due to too much exposition? Surely there was a lot of talking in the mythology episodes in particular but instead of “filling in” on what happened previously or simplifying things, there were many new elements introduced. It remains to be seen whether the dialogue flow or the story direction would be different were there to be a season 11.

The “new mythology” and 2010s politics — I don’t agree with everything in this article but it does give food for thought. I believe one of the reasons why the new mythology doesn’t sit well with me is that many conspiracy theories are not underground anymore but are the matter of much debate, many of them associated with far-right propaganda. The X-Files hasn’t changed, rather it’s the world around it — and the real-world associations and implications of some of its ideas — that has changed.

The information to confirm or infirm anything is widely available but so are opinions of any kind, and this should make interesting story-telling, however the ambiguity of “My Struggle” was lost in the starightforward endorsement of O’Malley’s theses in “My Struggle II”.

The lowdown for the X-Files comics finale: a bittersweet feeling for a rushed ending that could have taken more time to develop, but manages to pull off what the live series didn’t, ie closure! A close examination of the final issues + a discussion of the behind the scenes over 2015-2016 that led to this finale.

New interview with Chris Carter. The following quotes confirm that we are on completely new ground, and imply that whatever direction for the mythology Carter had in mind in the years after the show ended in 2002, we have irreversibly diverged away from it:

About the mythology in season 10:
“The mythology has taken a big turn, and if you’re a fan of the show you will – especially if you’ve parsed the mythology — you’ll know that we’re on sort of a new path. So I didn’t know I would be here now.”

About writing “My Struggle I”:
“In this series she [wife Dori Carter] was very involved right from the beginning. Actually her ideas became episode one. I had done something, a feature script, and she liked many things about it, and it she said you should use elements of that in the episode. And then she read the episode and she made many good notes, she had one perfect line. So yes I use her, to great effect.”

Interview with Joe Harris on new XF comics series taking place in-continuity with the revival:

“So after issue #1, we’re going to tackle a couple of two-part “Monster of the Month” stories which will lead up to a four-part Mytharc storyline kicking off in issue #6 that will pick up on some of the mysteries left from “Active Shooter,” and focus this series on a long range mission statement that, I hope, both plays well with whatever comes next on the television landscape as well as stands solidly on its own merits.”

Given how everything is up in the air with “My Struggle II”, I wonder how related this ‘new comics mythology’ will be to the show’s mythology, or whether it will be a parallel mystery arc like the early XF Petrucha/Adlard 1990s comics had.

Who would possibly want to read the adventures of teen Mulder and teen Scully? New 4-issue comics coming in August.
“Before the FBI, before the X-Files, they were just two teenagers in search of the truth. On Martha’s Vineyard, a young Fox Mulder investigates something strange happening on the island, while in San Diego, 13-year-old Dana Scully looks into the shocking murder of her teacher. Two kids, two mysteries, one conspiracy that threatens the future of humanity.”

Frank Spotnitz speaks on XF season 10: says he cannot be objective, it shows he would have loved to have been a part of this…but also, ultimately, he doesn’t say whether he liked it or not! (from 2:30 in the video)
Also, if more XF happens, it won’t be for another year or so and Spotnitz already has other things in his pipeline — he might have left The Man in the High Castle but he is busy enough with many other projects (e.g. Medici). To be continued…

Jun 10, 2016 12:08

New Carter interview. Sounds very happy with how the revival turned out. He used to sound like he had a set idea on what direction to take things, now he sounds as if Fox orders more of XF he will write something that will be a completely new idea… Still keen to do a 3rd #TheXFiles movie: conspiracy story or stand-alone?
“Whatever it would be, would be a big screen approach, meaning that it would be a big screen story, and I think we told a very big screen story in the first movie. And in the second movie we took a darker, more stand-alone approach, and I think an audience wants a big screen, more epic approach from a big screen X-Files story, so I think whatever it would be, I think it would now be built on the experiences of both of those movies.”

Volume 3 is just about done. It’s looking like Sept or Oct. We have such a massive backlog of titles that were supposed to be out Jan to June 2016 that everything is being pushed back and back and back. I have given up on any schedule for the sake of sanity and am currently “going with the flow.”
(The flow sucks. I’ll take roaring rapids any day)
The mini series is a different animal — a new release that falls under different guidelines for approvals an such.
Hopefully things will come together this summer so we can start releasing some great new Fox TV shows.

#TheXFiles finale preparation: 7 things Carter says influenced him for the revival. 2 things haven’t surfaced yet:

Mycelium Running: The Paul Stamets book, subtitled “How Mushrooms Can Save the World,” looks at how certain fungi could be bred to decompose toxic waste, stop viruses and protect humans from nerve gas.

Crispr-Cas9: This new genetic technique enables DNA to be easily edited. Those tweaks would then be inherited by the person’s offspring, making permanent changes to the human gene pool and potentially altering the nature of humans. In December, a group of scientists called for a moratorium on proceeding with such changes.

–> Both of these could come into play in how we might all have alien DNA activated in ourselves, in how the apocalyptic plague is released, and in how a cure against it might be found…

“surprisingly, or not surprisingly, there’s a whole website devoted to the mythology of The X-Files. So, knowing that I wanted to deal with William, the baby, for me that was a very emotional , interesting connection that they have that hasn’t been dealt with. So, knowing that, I went onto a website where a lot of fans have written about things that have happened, about the mythology, which episode that occurred, and all of that. So, I went through that and had a basic understanding of what’s happening. That’s how I approached it.”
