FOX confirms: no more X-Files any time soon – an official confirmation of what we have been reposting since November. I still suppose it could happen, but not before 2018, at least. XF cliffhangers are the Sisyphus torture.

2 years ago, the XF revival was essentially announced at the Television Critics Association annual event. Today, the future looks…complicated. *IF* (and as time goes by, it’s an “if”) there are new episodes, most likely it won’t be before “Fall 2018 or [Winter] 2019”, according to FOX — i.e. 3 years later after the My Struggle II cliffhanger! And as time goes by, I believe that FOX’s patience with the Carter-DD-GA trio will decrease, and FOX’s appetite for an inevitable reboot with different people involved will increase.

The X-Files Event Series, as it’ officially called, started airing one year ago today – already! – also called “revival” and “season 10” by fans. For me this was the beginning of a period of both excitement and frustration, and some sleepless nights… How about you?

Duchovny reflecting on last year’s revival: he had mixed feelings about the 2016 return. “I was happy to come back and do it,” he says, “and there were some episodes that worked better than others, but I thought that six was too few. We had to find too much ground to make up, too much backstory to tell and then it ended up there wasn’t enough [story] left to do. So, I feel like the next time if we did it, we’d do more episodes. Certainly never 22 again, but more than six. It’d be a better story to tell.”

Also, the usual about more: “Very possible,” says Duchovny. “At this point it looks good, but I don’t have anything specific to tell you. But we’re all kind of crouching.”

And on this night the spirits of the dead returned to visit past family and acquaintances from this life. Hmm? So, kid, for your trick, I want you to tell me… is it true?

On the occasion of the US elections tomorrow, here’s a topical article: X-Files, Trump and conspiracy theories: they’re all connected! – article by @[24351219578:274:Leonard Pitts].
Conspiracy theories have become both more name-dropped in the mainstream and become more vehemently anti-science since the 1990s. Hitting too close to home or yet one more source of disinformation to disprove — the sense of uneasiness that conspiracy theories generate today is perhaps one reason why Carter’s kitchen-sink conspiracy episodes in the revival were not as well received as in the past.

S11 of The X-Files will not happen. At least not before a long while. Anne Simon: “We just know that negotiations have ended. But to me, it doesn’t mean that something can’t change and they can start again. I do not know why negotiations ended. Probably no one wants to offend, in hopes that resumption is possible. My guess.” So long for the feelings right after S10 that treated S11 as a done deal.

X-Files brings a lot of money for FOX to completely let it go, so my guess is that we will certainly see more of X-Files later. S10 talks and negotiations started in 2013-2014 for a 2016 airing date, so we might not see S11 before 2019. By then I cannot imagine that FOX won’t have developed plans for a “Next Generation” type soft reboot of the series, independently from CC, GA and DD — sadly, this is the way franchises go. S11 might even be a TV-movie also serving as a backdoor pilot for the next generation. All possibilities exist. But CC should not take anything for granted, and plan for an ending.

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.

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.

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…

Interview with James Wong by XF Lexicon – could this be an EatTheCorn reference? If so, very humbled and *cool*!
“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.

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.
