the X-files is returning with fresh episodes
When Fox announced its six-episode reboot of the cult classic “The X-Files” with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles as Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, X-philes across the Internet chattered with enthusiasm and theories for this final edition. It seems like just yesterday we were treated to Mulder’s deadpan delivery that “the truth is out there,” and a ginger-haired Scully’s quizzical glare atop the most heavily padded shoulders and longest suit jackets at Langley. As the bastard child of “The Twilight Zone” with better-looking principles, “The X-Files” won us over with its paranormal scenarios and long-simmering tension between swaggering, moody Mulder and chilly, scientific Scully. You might say it cast a mold that shows have been trying to follow ever since (
cough, “Fringe;”
cough, “Lost”). But like all great works of art, it was not perfect. With a tendency to leave story lines unresolved or partially stitched, despite nine seasons, more than a handful of dangling or botched subplots left even the most devoted of fans frustrated.
