Re: The X-FILES Thread
Saw it earlier today. The X-Files is my favorite "dramatic" show ever, so I'd been looking forward to this one for awhile. I liked it a lot. It's a great mystery-thriller, so I had a blast. Like it's been said, this reminded me way more of an actual episode than the first movie did. Not that I don't love the first movie. Totally different experience. For anyone who was/is an X-Files fan, it was like hanging out with a bunch of old friends watching this movie. Recommended.

I'll have to check it out. I always preferred those "stand alone" episodes over the alien conspiracy crap. Have nothing against alien conspiracies, but it reached a point where you could tell they were just making it up as they went along and there was no real vision behind it.
Series should have ended at season 3. What few ideas Carter had left went to Millennium anyways.
Re: The X-FILES Thread
Didn't have a chance to see it today. Planning on seeing it though.
As for the show, it jumped the shark with the first film. Season 6 started a bit hit and miss. Killing off the syndicate mid-season was a HUGE mistake, leaving the alien mythology lost for a couple years. The stand alone's also started to be hit & miss. Season 7 was horrible. Horrible in every sense of the word. I can only remember a few episodes that were strong. Ducovney seemed to also start phoning it in. Season 8 breathed very refreshing air into the series both on the mythology front & stand-alone front with the introduction of Doggett which create a new and at the time, interesting dynamic. Season 9 however took all of that fresh start and flushed it down the toilet, and the entire season just was very tired and a shell of it's former self. Carter wasn't even trying anymore.
It's good to hear the new film is good. By Season 9 the stand alone's were weak.
One question that's killing me before I go see it...
Do they address ANYTHING from the end of the series? Characters, situations, stories? Or do they just ignore it, and pretend like it never happened?
