Happy Ten Thirteen Day, happy birthday Chris Carter! In an all-new interview for @[195561691234370:274:Sammensværgelsen – en dansk X-Files podcast], Carter discusses #TheXFiles at length! He even touches upon the future of the franchise, which right now cannot be the Mulder & Scully format due to Anderson’s departure; the future as of now is the comedic animated series (his own involvement is to be determined), which was put in quick development due to Covid-19.

Flashback to right before #TheXFiles revival – everybody is eagerly awaiting the return. Power-rock band @[113750902278:274:Sunspot] releases “Don’t Mess This Up”, with some hilarious lyrics like “They’re using my nostalgia and they’re trying to make money on my youth” or “I’m looking at you, Chris Carter”! Ah, those innocent years…

Recorded off a cassette tape! Dean Haglund (Langly) narrates an early #TheXFiles convention, with interviews of Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson and Haglund! It’s 1996 and War of the Coprophages just aired. William Gibson was writing an episode and Carter had talked with Richard Matheson and Harlan Ellison about the show. A movie is in preparation. Carter talks for the first time about his next series, tentatively titled Millennium!

* Warning: contains a gross sexist joke by CC, that was just the norm in the 1990s *

Flashback to the year 2000! “Well, just remember, boys, this is America. Just because you get more votes doesn’t mean you win.” – Mulder, #TheXFiles 8X18: Three Words, commenting on the win of G.W.Bush vs Al Gore despite Gore winning the popular vote. Thankfully history didn’t repeat itself.

There is more to THE X-FILES: THE OFFICIAL ARCHIVES than meets the eye…
Can you decipher what this means (on the back cover)? If so, perhaps some of The X-Files case numbers inside the book contain hidden messages too…

Highly recommended material – plus, features a handful of shots from #TheXFiles!

While doing press for #TheCrown, #GillianAnderson is also replying to #TheXFiles questions. Here it is revealed for the first time as far as I can remember what other actors were being considered for the role of Scully: can you imagine Jill Hennessy (Crossing Jordan, Law & Order) or Cynthia Nixon (Sex & the City) for the role?!…

The famous Arecibo radio telescope observatory will be shutting down. I didn’t want to believe it at first… The observatory was, of course, visited by Mulder in the very first #TheXFiles episode I saw 2X01: Little Green Men – and in Carl Sagan’s Contact!

Happy Winter Solstice, the true Earthly event of significance of the holiday season!

Here is “The Voyagers” – a beautiful video essay by Penny Lane (@[547043178665729:274:NUTS The Film]) about space exploration, the Voyagers’ Golden Record, Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan, and the chance of contact and of love in he face of eternity. Plenty of “Little Green Men” and Mulder-Scully #MSR vibes #TheXFiles

Happy 2021, with more hope than 2020 for a fairer and spookier world! Official Archives and more Mark Snow related content coming on the website early next year, stay tuned!

Interesting link: a review of the 1998 #TheXFiles game that even includes a mention of “eat the corn”, the graffiti and the website! For me, it was nothing more than a play on words with corn being so important in the movie and the mythology…
