anyone have any thoughts? at all? lol.  |
I really like the series, although, for some reason, I never watched a full season as it happened during the show's entire nine year run. It was only after the show was firmly in late-late night syndication did I start to get hooked enough to (attempt) to follow the complex storyline that entangled Mulder for his last two or three seasons.
I actually didn't mind the Doggett storylines after Duchovny left once I came to terms with the notion that the show would never have its original chemistry. I thought Robert Patrick did an outstanding job in this role: really giving his best shot at making a replacement character worthwhile in face of an embittered fan following. Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) annoyed me, however. I can't really place it, but her character never felt like it ever firmly worked itself out.
As for the X-Files sequel question, I recently read a brief interview with Chris Carter who claimed that he was thinking about doing another. Exactly how committed is the "thinking"? I don't know, but he did say that it wouldn't have anything to do with aliens this time around because he feels it has already been played out, which I can't say I disagree. If interested in the source, I will continue to sift through this year's
Anime Insider issues and give you an exact issue and page number.
One of my personal favorite X-Files episodes of all time was a more humorous one displaying Fox's and Scully's chemistry without getting heavy-handed in the romance department. The episode is called "Bad Blood" (#109, season 5 (thank you, Google)). Fox and Scully, after a mistaken vampire sighting, need to retell their version of accounts separately when faced with a family's lawsuit. The way they both paint each other as childish and themselves as holy is hilarious. The part that made me laugh out loud the hardest is when each recited their accounts with a local sheriff. Scully, finding him attractive, painted scenes glorifying his supposed heroic demeanor, while Fox, acutely jealous, portrayed him as nothing more than a buck-toothed hick.
[Amendment: It was bugging me that I couldn't locate the source of the Q&A with Chris Carter. After flipping through far too many Anime Insider pages, it finally dawned on me that I was looking within the wrong magazine all together. You can find the brief interview I sited earlier in Rolling Stone issue #975 (June 2, 2005) and on page 80.]
