M.F. Luder December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 In case any of you are interested, Musings of an X-Phile is back up! Salome mysteriously stopped posting her excellent episode reviews back in 2012 and those of us who were fans of her site missed her tremendously. She recently started up her reviews again and is super excited for the revival. I've spent a lot of time reading her episode commentary, and oftentimes it gives me a whole other level of appreciation for this show.

Duchovny hints that the new series may give many viewers what they want in this regard, even though it will begin by disclosing that they did get together at one point but broke up. He says: "It seems important to certain fans that Mulder and Scully be together romantically, but stasis and a good relationship are not exciting dramatically because you want your show to move. "So I think the fans would be more pleased knowing that if you start broken up, you're probably trending towards getting back together rather than the other way round." Seriously?

Eyes High January 25, 2016 Share January 25, 2016 The reviewers at Hitfix and Slate, despite expressing their misgivings with the first episode, state that the third episode (written by Darin Morgan) is worth sticking around for. Can't wait. Darin Morgan was my favourite of the X-Files writers, and his episodes were always my favourite, with the perfect blend of eccentricity, humour, and melancholy. His Millennium episodes were also brilliant, including the funniest Scientology parody in media I've ever seen ("In 1979, Onan Goopta molted his earthly encumbrance to pursue his Selfisophical research in another dimension. That means, he died of prostate cancer.") This is going to be awesome. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8887-the-x-files-in-the-media/page/8/#findComment-1897924
