Morgan&Wong vs Carter: a look at the similarities between the ends of XFS10 and Millennium S2. The Apocalypse is a recurring theme in all of Carter’s works, interesting that XF reached the point where it actually depicted the impending doom it was teasing for so long (albeit in a less-then-satisfactory overall episode…).

CRISPR-Cas9: If you want to learn more about this [real] revolutionary process that is at the heart of @[362989843738755:274:The X-Files]’ finale My Struggle II, here’s a BBC podcast that discusses it with several scientists around the globe. Discovered in 2012, the applications of this fast gene editing technique are endless! — and its implications run deep.

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.

Details emerge on the “X-Files: Origins” young adult novels. The plots seem completely out of character, the tone and target audience different from that of the series’. I can’t imagine why anyone would be interested in buying these.

XF upcoming comics #6-7: what’s going on here?
“•The first part of a brand new “Mytharc” connecting X-Files conspiracies old and new begins here!
• A new man enters Scully’s life seeking her affections!
• Executive produced by The X-Files creator Chris Carter!”

Carter had no time to cover the backstory of what happened between the 2002 supersoldiers and the 2016 Elites conspiracy, and Harris gets to cover that? A love interest for Scully?! The return of Tad, or somebody new? Intrigued, but puzzled.

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.

XF s11 news: Carter: “I imagine we would be up there shooting in the spring of 2017” For airing Fall ’17/Winter ’18? He expects “a small expansion” on the number of episodes. I can’t imagine much more than 8.
Also, Carter will be hosting a marathon of the revival series in Vancouver tomorrow Friday — I hope for some Q&A on some of the more controversial directions the show took: mythology (apparent?) U-turn, soft reboot of the M&S relationship, no ending in sight…

The X-Files Volume 3 could be the last box set of X-Files music released by La-La Land Records. From La-La Land Records:
What we may end up doing next is a 2 disc set that covers odds and ends cues from episodes that were already released, kinda wrapping it up for the die hard fans who wanted this cue or that cue. Make a real limited edition of 1000 or 1500 units for the real hardcore X Files fans out there.
