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…).

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.

“•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.

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…

Apr 11, 2016 19:57

The “new mythology” and 2010s politics — I don’t agree with everything in this article but it does give food for thought. I believe one of the reasons why the new mythology doesn’t sit well with me is that many conspiracy theories are not underground anymore but are the matter of much debate, many of them associated with far-right propaganda. The X-Files hasn’t changed, rather it’s the world around it — and the real-world associations and implications of some of its ideas — that has changed.

The information to confirm or infirm anything is widely available but so are opinions of any kind, and this should make interesting story-telling, however the ambiguity of “My Struggle” was lost in the starightforward endorsement of O’Malley’s theses in “My Struggle II”.

New interview with Chris Carter. The following quotes confirm that we are on completely new ground, and imply that whatever direction for the mythology Carter had in mind in the years after the show ended in 2002, we have irreversibly diverged away from it:

About the mythology in season 10:
“The mythology has taken a big turn, and if you’re a fan of the show you will – especially if you’ve parsed the mythology — you’ll know that we’re on sort of a new path. So I didn’t know I would be here now.”

About writing “My Struggle I”:
“In this series she [wife Dori Carter] was very involved right from the beginning. Actually her ideas became episode one. I had done something, a feature script, and she liked many things about it, and it she said you should use elements of that in the episode. And then she read the episode and she made many good notes, she had one perfect line. So yes I use her, to great effect.”

Interview with Joe Harris on new XF comics series taking place in-continuity with the revival:

“So after issue #1, we’re going to tackle a couple of two-part “Monster of the Month” stories which will lead up to a four-part Mytharc storyline kicking off in issue #6 that will pick up on some of the mysteries left from “Active Shooter,” and focus this series on a long range mission statement that, I hope, both plays well with whatever comes next on the television landscape as well as stands solidly on its own merits.”

Given how everything is up in the air with “My Struggle II”, I wonder how related this ‘new comics mythology’ will be to the show’s mythology, or whether it will be a parallel mystery arc like the early XF Petrucha/Adlard 1990s comics had.

New Carter interview. Sounds very happy with how the revival turned out. He used to sound like he had a set idea on what direction to take things, now he sounds as if Fox orders more of XF he will write something that will be a completely new idea… Still keen to do a 3rd #TheXFiles movie: conspiracy story or stand-alone?
“Whatever it would be, would be a big screen approach, meaning that it would be a big screen story, and I think we told a very big screen story in the first movie. And in the second movie we took a darker, more stand-alone approach, and I think an audience wants a big screen, more epic approach from a big screen X-Files story, so I think whatever it would be, I think it would now be built on the experiences of both of those movies.”

#TheXFiles finale preparation: 7 things Carter says influenced him for the revival. 2 things haven’t surfaced yet:

Mycelium Running: The Paul Stamets book, subtitled “How Mushrooms Can Save the World,” looks at how certain fungi could be bred to decompose toxic waste, stop viruses and protect humans from nerve gas.

Crispr-Cas9: This new genetic technique enables DNA to be easily edited. Those tweaks would then be inherited by the person’s offspring, making permanent changes to the human gene pool and potentially altering the nature of humans. In December, a group of scientists called for a moratorium on proceeding with such changes.

–> Both of these could come into play in how we might all have alien DNA activated in ourselves, in how the apocalyptic plague is released, and in how a cure against it might be found…

“surprisingly, or not surprisingly, there’s a whole website devoted to the mythology of The X-Files. So, knowing that I wanted to deal with William, the baby, for me that was a very emotional , interesting connection that they have that hasn’t been dealt with. So, knowing that, I went onto a website where a lot of fans have written about things that have happened, about the mythology, which episode that occurred, and all of that. So, I went through that and had a basic understanding of what’s happening. That’s how I approached it.”

“Are 51” inspiration for #TheXFiles revival confirmed:
“It was from scratch… But that’s not exactly true because I had written another script that had nothing to do with the X-Files that had certain elements in it that my wife had remembered and she said “What about this this and this?” and that became some of the raw material that I used to do the pilot episode of this limited series.”
Plus, what to make of this? “Glenn Beck is someone I have a relationship with, same with Alex Jones and his site on the internet. I find it to be fascinating.”
Bonus: “The Lone Gunmen returned so there’s no reason Krycek can’t!”

Lots of interesting Carter, but oddly not direct quotes:
“Talking about additional episodes, Carter said there were a few he had written that he think could still be used today, and even more interesting, admitted he’s had an episode in his story vault that he’s wanted to bring to air for more than 20 years.”
“Besides the miniseries, however, Carter also said that he was open to making a third X-Files movie, but had a very specific set of rules that would have to be met in order to do so. Unlike the second movie, which Carter admitted was full of problems, the creator said he would have to be given the same kind of freedom and tools he and his team received while working on the first film.”

#mythXplained “William”: Here it is, the XF episode that singlehandedly badly tarnished the reputation of the entire series and casts a long dreadful shadow to this day! (Not to mention the entirely unnecessary resurrection of a certain character.) The adoption was perhaps necessary, in the mind of Carter, in order to clear the complications and have Mulder & Scully ready to jump in the movie franchise still hoped for at the time. However since then this plan backfired somewhat — and hopefully the upcoming revival will start making amends.

#mythXplained “The Truth”: what’s been called the “series finale” for the past 13 years…is no more! A highly frustrating ending to a disappointing season, only bits of this episode are memorable. As a cry to the world, Carter spends most of this episode summarizing the mythology, to *prove* that this whole enterprise is not as non-sensical as most reviewers/fans were accusing for years — but simultaneously turns the big finale into a clip show. Another unnecessary return and re-death of a dead character later… the Mulder-Scully couple reunite in a scene recreating the motel scene from the Pilot; whatever truths they will seek, they will seek together.

D-1 for #TheXFiles revival–yet also D-30 for “My Struggle II”! In barely one month it will all be over. It’s been a wild ride for a year since last January when serious declarations started being made for a revival — let us hope it will have not only been worth the wait but that this revival will be worthy to take its place next to some of the best work of one of the best series of the past 20 years. See you after the premiere!

THE POWER TO BELIEVE TURNS OUT TO BE THE STRONGEST FORCE THERE IS ON AN ALL-NEW “THE X-FILES” MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, ON FOX

Episode Written and Directed by Creator Chris Carter; William B. Davis, Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose Guest-Star

When an art gallery that’s showing potentially offensive artwork is bombed, Mulder and Scully seek some way to communicate with the comatose bomber in order to prevent a future attack. Meanwhile, a pair of younger FBI agents on the case (guest stars Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose) push Mulder and Scully to examine their own beliefs as Scully seeks answers from neuroscience and Mulder from mysticism in the all-new “Babylon” episode of THE X-FILES

Behind the scenes at #XFilesRevival, many revelations from Carter!
Carter “wrote a third movie—which has yet to see the light of day” ?!
On the CSM being back: “In Episode 6, you’re going to see exactly what the product of that failure to die [in the 2002 series finale] was.”
Season 11? “Carter hopes the hard-core fans are satisfied, and since much is left unresolved at the end of Episode 6, another miniseries is possible.”

#mythXplained “NIHT”: And so the most controversial season begins. Carter went away during the summer holidays, leaving Spotnitz to develop what would have been the “Next Generation XF”, and Carter came back at the very last minute as a show-runner for season 9. Instead of making a clean break with Mulder, Scully and the whole mythology around them and focus just on the new faces, season 9 chooses to make Mulder the absent centre (again), make baby William into a mystery (again), make Scully the weeping caretaker (alas!), and add soap operatic drama making Reyes less interesting (introducing her ex Brad Follmer). Nevertheless, these two episodes are perhaps the season’s most interesting mythology episodes, with more mysteries around the Supersoldiers (governmental? alien?), more genetic experiments and more conspiracy theories (chloramine in tap water). It goes downhill from here.

#mythXplained “Trust No 1”: NSA surveillance, constant paranoia, Terry O’Quinn, suspicions of experiments on babies: what could go wrong with such an episode? Yet this episode comes out as some of the most bitter experiences of watching The X-Files: not just the horribly out of place melodrama of the Scully and Mulder e-mails and love sickness, but also the focus yet again on whom we know we will not see, and the cheesiness of the kryptonite-like magnetite and the scene of destruction of a Supersoldier. Many interesting things, but not the XF we knew…

#mythXplained “Provenance/Providence”: The setting is familiar: religious cults, secrets buried underground, alien-as-God parallel, flashbacks revealing truths about the military, hints of greater forces at work (here, while Doggett is recovering at the hospital)… And yet it comes down to this: William is the object of an alien prophecy. The X-Files had gotten us used to more subtlety and more interesting storylines. Regardless, the decision has already been taken: The X-Files will be ending with this season and after these episodes everything accelerates to the conclusion.

Chris Carter himself on #TheXFiles revival:
“In this context, it seemed like a perfect time to rattle some cages and shine a light on the dark and distrustful mood toward government that polls tell us pervades our country.”
“Over the past ten months about 500 people came together to make six episodes of the best TV we know how.”
“Mulder and Scully, colleagues who developed a tempestuous affection and intimacy, have a child together, William. He was put up for adoption when they feared for his life, due to the same conspirators Mulder so believes in. This becomes a very personal story that is explored through the course of these six episodes.”

#TheXFiles teases from Anne Simon:
Genetic modification technology will play a major role, she said.
CRISPR-Cas9 makes it possible for us to alter the DNA of living cells, including human cells. And this science will tie into a “really big” plot twist, that will “kind of explain the whole conspiracy theory and what the cigarette-smoking man was doing.”
From 2X08: One Breath:
BYERS: The Thinker reports the protein chains are a result of branched DNA.
MULDER: Branched DNA?
LANGLY: The cutting edge of genetic engineering.
BYERS: A biological equivalent of a silicon microchip.
LANGLY: This is way beyond cutting edge. This technology fifty years down the line.
MULDER: What’s it used for?
FROHIKE: Could be a tracking system.
BYERS: Developmental stages of a biological marker.
MULDER: You mean a high-tech identity card?
LANGLY: Or something as insidious as grafting a human into something… inhuman.
(The computer beeps again.)
BYERS: Good theories, gentlemen, but all for naught.
(He points at a protein data map.)
This branched DNA is inactive. It’s waste product. Whoever was experimenting on Scully is finished. Now it’s nothing more than a biological poison.

The airing order of #XFilesRevival is revealed to be the following (via producer Gabe Rotter, via XFilesNews – http://xfiles.news/index.php/news/latest-news/1045-txf-season-10-founder-s-mutation-will-air-on-01-25):

“My Struggle” – 01/24/16 – 10PM (Aprox.)
“Founder’s Mutation” – 01/25/16 – 8PM
“Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” 02/01/16 – 8PM
“Home Again” – 02/08/16 – 8PM
“Babylon” – 02/15/16 – 8PM
“My Struggle II” – 02/22/16 – 8PM (Season Finale)

A press release is also up for the second episode (http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/01/the-x-files-episode-1002-founders.html)
This order is production order 1-5-3-2-4-6, so very different compared to what we naturally thought would be the airing order — especially since the second produced “Home Again” sounded like a natural choice for the a second episode. Mulder and Scully are said to follow an emotional arc throughout the six episodes, with each episode evolving from the previous one and significant elements of the past we believe are revealed in the two “My Struggle”s but also in “Founder’s Mutation”.
Whether the exact airing order was determined beforehand, with production order following actor or other constraints, or whether it was decided in post-production once executive producers Carter and Morgan saw the whole 6 and how they flowed, we do not know (https://twitter.com/Annealiz1/status/684814044767883265). Perhaps this whole business shows that episodes are more independent from each other than Carter would like to admit, perhaps not.

#mythXplained “Within/Without”: The main shortcoming of Season 8 is that…it exists! that the story was not wrapped up properly with the two leads at the end of season 7. Otherwise, these episodes launch one of the most interesting periods of the show, with a solid new lead in Robert Patrick, a great sense of purpose and a welcome return to the darkness of earlier seasons. But these episodes are not free of flaws: mainly the ret-conning of Mulder’s illness, and long scenes in the desert as if material for a bit more than one episode was spread over two episodes.

#mythXplained “Per Manum”: The plot thickens, with some great material — experiments in fertility clinics, double agents and general paranoia — and some less so — the unnecessary “who’s the daddy?” plotline. Still, in hindsight, this episode shows how well the season as a whole had been plotted in advance, possibly the only XF season where this happened! (Despite the feature film at its end, season 5 was much more loosely plotted/interlinked.)

#mythXplained “This Is Not Happening”: Everyone will agree that this is one of the best X-Files mythology episodes. The Mulder missing/dead drama at its height, the introduction of Monica Reyes (back when her character was still quirky and thus interesting), the return of Jeremiah Smith, alien cults and great performances overall!

Jan 11, 2016 17:44

#mythXplained “DeadAlive”: …and then things get more complicated. A dramatic time jump — to allow for the launch of The Lone Gunmen spin-off series — and Mulder very literally returns from the dead. While the episode tries to mix older mythology elements (Krycek, the vaccine against the Black Oil) with new mysteries, it really fails to clearly explain the central mystery: why were these replicants-to-be dumped randomly, and why Mulder’s replication failed. The tense mysterious atmosphere and production values still make this a success, but at this point the mythology starts challenging suspension of disbelief seriously.

#mythXplained “Three Words”: By now The X-Files is a fully serialized show, with an ensemble cast and storylines unfolding on a week-to-week basis. These are episodes of transition between the old guard, chief among them Mulder, who feels awkward, and the new. A good, classic, efficient episode that recalls many previous ones, notably the Lone Gunmen-aided infiltration of a facility in “Memento Mori”, and a meetup with an informant in a running field like in “Deep Throat”…

#mythXplained “Essence/Existence”: Season 8 ends and like with the previous season it could have been the end of it all. Same issues as with “Within/Without”, too many scenes in a single setting (here, underground parking lot). Confusing happenings with who hunts the baby and why. An oddly directed ending for a beloved character that should not have been. A “who’s the daddy?” that is unnecessarily drawn out to beyond the end. And, in retrospective, a very interesting season that ultimately raises too many questions for this to be the end, making a season 9 necessary (as opposed to last year)!
