Gotcha! #TheXFiles #TheXFilesMusical

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!

Check out the community-compiled list of requests from 150 episodes (!) that I hope La-La Land considered on the website:

#TheXFiles Here are those cut scenes from Talitha Cumi and En Ami showing the Cigarette-Smoking Man water-skiing? “He was a good water-skier your husband, not as good as I was but then that could be said about so many things…”

For those wondering what happened to #TheXFiles game on Android: after they released their “case 8” last November, development of new material has been put on hold. Carter mentioned another video game was in development last year, but given how detached he is from video games in general I believe he was referring to this one.

Mulder’s office desk is up for sale! By Vancouver’s Back Gallery Project (ie the real Monica Reyes). A piece of history that should go to a good caretaker! And more proof that Carter is really done with the show. Also: Scully’s chair: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/163646852082 #TheXFiles #ebay

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.

#TheXFiles IRL: “I thought we dealt with all this in the 1990s? Mulder and Scully proved that aliens were here. Then further evidence came to light that proved they were, in fact, fictional characters in a TV series.” An Oxford lecturer claims that a secret breeding programme to create alien-human hybrids will save humanity from environmental disaster #climatechange

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.”

Who wants a #LEGO set based on #TheXFiles? The creator of this awesome set, inspired on the episode “EBE”, is looking for *your support* to convince the LEGO Group to produce and sell it as an official LEGO product!

A previous attempt had not been fruitful because LEGO didn’t produce “mature content”, but I’m sure there’s a market for this out there! Otherwise, get to your 3D printers.

Another #TheXFiles #LEGO idea to support – Mulder & Scully and the XF office! Create an account and vote – if it reaches 10,000 votes, LEGO should produce it.

This had actually been submitted last year (DD & GA had taken photos with the figurines) but LEGO had decided no because of mature content. Now they are producing #StrangerThings sets, so it’s just a matter of showing support.

Real-life #TheXFiles: a 1950 simulated germ-warfare attack, one of many that we know of. Remember the pustule bugs in “F. Emasculata” and the smallpox bees in “Zero Sum”?

It’s been over a year since that finale. Has #TheXFiles done its time? These nice essays by Italian fans from @[169182093160805:274:X-Files Blue Book/X-Files Italian Fan Club] give their own view, being also musings about the power of storytelling, about time passing and about societal/moral values changing (I particularly liked the first one by Rita).
