Conveniently enough, I can't find the article now (it was on tvguide.com), but here's the bottom line - everyone is onboard for a new X-Files movie BUT it is now on hold because of some lawsuit between Chris Carter (X-File creator) and one of the studios.

Gillian Anderson said she wants to have another child, and she's not interested in being filmed while preggers, so if it's not resolved right away, it may not happen at all. :(

BLAST.

The season finale was so good.

Do you mean series? And how was it good? It answered like no questions at all.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

The finale was only enjoyable because it was a walk down memory lane and you knew the end was coming.

Still, I was looking forward to a second movie. The article also said that the plan for the movie was for it to be a "Monster of the Week" type story. Carter said that the first movie had to be part of the mythology, but for the second, he just wanted to scare people.

That was the point of X-files.

I'd rather see a Lone Gunmen movie. Which reminds me, I should pick up the series on DVD...

Really. I never really kept up with the X-Files while it was running, so I guess I'm not really aware of everything that went down, especially in the later seasons.

Edit:Or what happened at the end of The Lone Gunmen.

I would have ended it with the 7th season finale where Mulder got abducted. The last two seasons were kind of crappy.

Agreed. I didn't like the last two seasons much at all.

For that matter, even Season 7 wasn't that great.

There was this guy, who had some like, super alien disease implanted in him. When he died, the disease would release and kill off the entire world. He found out, and was going to commit suicide to show the world what's what. He was about to do it, when the lone gunmen trapped him in this hallway, just as mulder/scully got there. They hit these blast doors where they trapped him, he commited suicide, the blast was contained, and the lone gunmen got burried at arlington.

In terms of the overall storyline, it was all pretty much answered by the end of season 5 - the incoming alien invasion, the collaboration, the alien-human hybrid, the vaccine. The only 'new' thing we learnt over seasons 6,7,8,9 was the actual date of the alien invasion, and that wasn't especially interesting.

The season 9 X-Files finale is notorious for being so thoroughly unsatisfying.

Mulder finds God and all is good! vomit vomit vomit. Some of the best dialogue is of Mulder mocking Scully for how her belief in God never undergoes the same healthy skepticism she applies to everything else.

Gillian Anderson is a crazy red head.

Just my kinda bit of crumpet.

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{

Wasn't the plan originally to make a whole bunch of movies?
