Oh look the last ever episode of the X-Files is on!

A Gilligan would be sick.

(In the interest of full disclosure, I haven't rewatched any of Gilligan's episodes since BB fully opened my eyes to his talents.)

Oh, I see that that's not true. I just saw 'Pusher' the other night. I guess I didn't realize he started on the show that early.

He said he would have loved to do one this year, but couldn't work it around Better Call Saul's schedule.

might be remarkable or might flop,

I loved the mushroom trip and the dynamics of the ersatz Mulder & Scully with Lauren Ambrose in btw, as incredibly bad as the pacing and ~race~ issues were in that ep btw. But I also recently saw the teenage witches ep that Carter wrote, & enjoyed that hugely too

they need to do another season to wash the taste of this last one out. I think I liked one episode out of that run.

did he do the episode where mulder needs to keep driving or the guy's head will pop? or possibly mulders head will pop?

i watched that one "recently" (couple years back) and was p impressed

That was a Gilligan. The guy was Cranston.

also according to cranston on npr a while back, that episode was integral to his being cast as Walter White.

back again next year, per the X files FB page.

If they try a big effects scene like the nu-finale, I hope they have a higher budget

I hope they just pretend that Carter two-parter didn't happen

we all got mindwiped

100% agree

cosign

we have a third motion passes

i'd be interested in them bringing it back and making it even worse. why stop where they did; lets see just how low the x files can go

on the bright side, maybe more Dagoo

Anyone going to bother with the new season? I’ll at least watch the Darin Morgan episode.

of course I'll watch it. I don't have high expectations but maybe it'll surprise me.

Gillian indicated she's probably out after this, which is unfortunate. I hope it will actually finish then and they don't try to do another season without either her or Duchovny, there's zero point in that now.

bring back john doggett

in for Darin Morgan, happy to lay back this time unless any others get especially good reviews

nice that there are a bunch of new writers, shame that Gilligan couldn't come back too but I'd rather have Better Call Saul

had not noticed that the guy from the "x-files agent everyone forgot"/mandala effect episode, which was the fourth episode of the ill-conceived second revival season, appears in the scanned x-files documents in the second episode. his badge clearly visible for a moment when Skinner opens up the scans

say Brian Huskey's name u bitch
