>The return of the sci-fi hit for the 2018 season contains 10 episodes, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson back on board. A full of eight of them will be stand-alone episodes, Fox entertainment chairman David Madden promises. The move comes after last year’s revival received hugely split reviews, with the mythology episodes getting slammed by critics while the stand-alone mysteries were praised.
Is this a good idea?
>>86140020
Fine by me.
>>86140020
i hope it's because they are ending it.
>>86140020
>Is this a good idea?
No, the mythology episodes were what made the original series great.
Yes, the standalone monster of the week episodes in the sequel series were by far better.
Thanks a lot, chris.
>>86140167
Seriously Mythology episodes = CSM, without him the x files is generic crap.
>>86140167
the monster of the week episodes were great in the early seasons though
what?! didn't they just set up a world destroying technovirus that only scully and the chick from six feet under could solve?
Well, the standalone episodes hold up alot better but FUCK I just want them to resolve the mythology already, it's been so fucking long.
kino incoming boys
>>86140515
everything was set up by the illuminati, of which cancer bro is the only surviving member, to bamboozle people into thinking there was an ayy conspiracy so they could seize control
mulder probably never even had a sister
>>86140020
i hope there is less miller and einstein this season and they resolve mulder and scullys storyline this season.
my bet is the last ep will be a mytho and they'll bring back william for it.
>end last season on a cliffhanger where a spaceship is about to Independence Day Mulder and Scully.
>we're going back to monster of the week episodes
what the fuck
It doesn't matter 'cause the X-Files hasn't been even remotely good since 1996.
>>86140413
Yes they did, and last season ended on a major cliff hanger. The "final arc of the series has started and there's no going back" type of cliffhanger. I honestly can't think of a way they can go back from that to doing mainly stand-alone episodes without fucking everything up.
>>86140020
how about they just dont write retarded shit
>>86140020
They need to balance them out. No one likes 10 monster of a week in a row, but sprinkle in 3 really good myth episodes and it's great.
>>86140783
>all a dream
>>86140783
maybe the first two eps will be about that.
>>86140783
The EW article says this:
>Madden also teased a bit about season 11’s storyline. “We start the season right up from where the season finale left off with that big helicopter and takes you right from there,” he says.
See? It wasn't really a spaceship, it was just a helicopter lel
>>86140967
so it wasn't a weather balloon?
>>86141048
it was swamp gas you idiot
X FILES IS SAVED
Seriously though the main conspiracy was good for a bit then became convoluted as shit, how many more times can bring back mulder's ""real sister""? The monster episodes were always the best and most memorable.
>>86140967
so i guess alex jones is back this season
They shit all over their mythology with the latest season.
>>86140167
jose chung
>>86141146
why can't they just move the story further?
there is much shit the X files could be about in its main story line.
>>86140783
chemtrails
chemicals in the water supply
mass hypnosis
who knows really
MOTW episodes were always far better.
The conspiracy arch was only great when it was in the background shrouded in mystery. The more it came to the forefront the worst the show got
>>86140165
They will never end the X-Files, if they wanted to do it gracefully they would have done it fifteen years ago. It's gonna go until it breaks.
>>86142027
what's MOTW
>>86142292
Men Going Their Own Way
>>86142201
true,i don't think gillian wants to do it much longer though.
>>86142292
Mouthy obese trans women
>>86142461
>true,i don't think gillian wants to do it much longer though.
Bring back Reyes!!
>>86140020
If they're going to do this season the same way, I'm all for the standalone episodes. There just wasn't enough time spent on the mythology, so fun standalone structure will be a good thing.
>>86142736
shes coming back,shes a bad guy now though.
>>86140167
The mythology episodes were NEVER good.
>>86142292
Monster of the week
>>86140020
I didn't watch the show
What are the "mythology episodes"?
>>86142892
for you
Thr whole mini season was pure garbage, it felt like I was watching a B movie at times
The monster of the week episodes were pure garbage too, i dont know why they got praised
>>86143055
Episodes about Aliens and Government conspiracies.
FUCK YES
MOTW SUPREMACY
>>86142838
Are they gonna pull a "She's a bad guy. But not really. But yes really" again
>>86143055
>What are the "mythology episodes"?
The ones focusing on Mulder's sister and the overarching alien conspiracy
>>86143116
get out
>>86142027
It only got shit when they had to keep delaying the reason for the alien invasion and brought in scullys pregnancy and the nu-shadow conspiracy. Up until about season 6 it was great
if chris carter is still writing it will be a disaster regardless if it will have more mytharc eps or not
>>86143139
>>86143203
Isn't the whole show about aliens and conspiracies?
>>86143246
No, the majority of the episodes are monsters of the week stuff
>>86143215
? Im talking about season 10 you dumbfuck, how could anyone like any of it?
>le win drugged Mulder
>le Australian man who turns into a lizard
>le plastic surgery scully
It was embarrassingly shite. kys if you liked it
>>86143116
>it felt like I was watching a B movie at times
so it was exactly like the old show?
>>86143239
tbqh i don't think he is a bad writer,i think fox keeps pressuring him to prolong the show so he has to drag the mytho's out.
>>86143409
No?
>>86143182
hope not,i kinda like her being a bad guy and i could see why she became tempted to work for CSM
They should never have made a s10. Every episode was bad beyond parody
For years I wanted the X-Files to return, but now honestly I just want this series to fucking die. Enough is enough, stop beating the dead horse and let it fucking die.
X-Files The Next Generation when?
>>86143638
im honestly surprised they haven't remade it by now
>>86143720
hopefully never,at least with the leads they seemed to have picked.
>>86143720
Prequel about CSM and Mulder's father taking place in 50s would be better imho
How about you bring Fringe back.
That ending sucked. I won't believe it.
>>86140020
They should ditch Chris Carter and beg Vince Gilligan to take over.
The fact that Carter has run out of ideas for mythology episodes doesn't mean there shouldn't be any.
>>86143720
>X-Files The Next Generation when?
>>86143758
>im honestly surprised they haven't remade it by now
>>86144627
this made me incapable of finishing SFU,she was so bad.
fucking fox
>>86144627
They look like a fucking parody of the x-files
If they do remake it it will be with a black male lead called Muldumbe
I don't get it. The revival ended on a huge cliff-hanger and an apocalyptic event potentially killing millions, if not billions of people. How do you scale that all down to quirky monster eps without some massive ass-pulls?
For the record, "giant apocalyptic event" was precisely the wrong angle to take with the new series, but I can sorta understand why they did it.
If you lock Chris Carter in a cage and leave him in the woods while you write and film it, it should be alright. Every episode he's directly involved in is pure dog mess.
Mytharc was always shit, I'm doing a full rewatch right now and I'm dreading every episode of mytharc shit and I'm only on season two.
>>86144383
Fringe ending was GOAT faggot
Tulip kino
The new season kinda sucked. For some reason, they had Scully giving moral lessons at the end of every episode, and most of them seemed too topical and preachy.
The one with the lizard guy from Flight of the Conchords was good though.
>>86144803
>They look like a fucking parody of the x-files
Kind of seemed like that was their intention
