But once they realized what they were doing - just committing would have saved them a lot of trouble.<br /><br />Like a lot of shows, though, you kind of know that whatever their answer, none of it would have been really satisfactory.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-4310019179464759182015-03-26T17:04:54.858-05:002015-03-26T17:04:54.858-05:00Subscribe.Subscribe.RHPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617999946778955502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-48300992152618789332015-03-26T16:57:51.268-05:002015-03-26T16:57:51.268-05:00I read somewhere a long time ago, but it was expla...I read somewhere a long time ago, but it was explained that the "mythology" of the show was borne out of necessity. Gillian Anderson got pregnant and the folks in charge didn't want to write it into the show. So they came up with this idea that Scully gets abducted/goes missing. And it spiraled out of control from there.<br /><br />My other favorite tidbit about the X-Files is that Chris Carter named the character "Fox Mulder" in tribute to Fox picking the show.<br /><br />RHPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617999946778955502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-7210480056276740872015-03-26T09:25:59.226-05:002015-03-26T09:25:59.226-05:00as memories of the actual show come flooding back,...as memories of the actual show come flooding back, none of this is getting me particularly excited for more of same.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-36883588843372577222015-03-26T08:10:20.419-05:002015-03-26T08:10:20.419-05:00The show wrapped up the mythology several differen...The show wrapped up the mythology several different times with different answers each time. Then suddenly, an episode would come up and we'd again get an answer to what happened to his sister because the previous answer was a rouse. That's where they lost me. But, yeah, Gillian Anderson. Have you seen that show she has on Netflix? I have it on my queue.Sound Affectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509617424337109337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-17243008219091066072015-03-25T23:02:38.305-05:002015-03-25T23:02:38.305-05:00See, this is where I think X-Files coming back can...See, this is where I think X-Files coming back can only disappoint. There are currently 20 different CW shows running with creatures of the week. As a nerd with no imagination who invested something like 7 years into X-Files, all I want at this point is for them to just say why the hell there are alien bees or whatever. I don't really care to see Mulder chasing after the Lake Champlain Monster or whatever in 2015. I can see actual humans doing that on The History Channel for reasons that make no sense.
