Members Vee Posted June 16, 2016 Members Share Posted June 16, 2016 I think 8-10 is the max Gillian Anderson would go for given her busy schedule (she's also just picked up Bryan Fuller's American Gods on HBO). That being said, I think 6 would have been fine with more skilled writers and a cohesive thread through the stories. I enjoyed the whole thing as a messy romp of good and bad, but I am not that invested in TXF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 11, 2017 Members Share Posted January 11, 2017 They're very close to making a new episode order! It won't be 22 episodes but they definitely are aiming for more than six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's official: THE X-FILES coming back for an 11th season!! This time, with TEN episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Glad they got the right number of episodes this time. They could've done it with six, really, but Chris Carter's overbearing hand really damaged the quality on the last season - it varied between great fun, mediocre and outright terrible from week to week, and both the premiere and finale were very bad thanks to him. He's a great idea man but when it comes to individual episodes he's more and more the show's worst enemy. I would like to believe he'll have a more hands-on writers' room with stronger collaboration this time, but I have my doubts. Either way, I'll still enjoy seeing it.

Members YRBB Posted August 8, 2017 Members Share Posted August 8, 2017 Season 11 will largely dump mythology episodes -- only 2 out of 10 will be mythology. I have yet to finish Season 10, but I understand the thinking behind it -- for example, the were-monster episode was brilliant, and I liked that they blended standalone episodes with some mythology, like the Band-Aid Nose Man and Scully's son. I was hoping for more of that. Why not simply write better mythology episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted January 6, 2018 Members Share Posted January 6, 2018 I finally saw the last two episodes of Season 10. The one with the terrorists, the trumpets, etc. was ridiculous. I did really like Miller and Einstein though (even if their parallels to Mulder and Scully are too obvious) and the cameos from Smoking Man and The Lone Gunmen. I never thought I'd see Mulder in cowboy garb two-stepping it (and did I spot Mitch Pileggi in a cowboy hat too? LOL). I really wanted to like "My Struggle II". I enjoyed it well enough but the whole thing was average at best. That being said, some good moments were SM taking off his mask (ew), seeing Monica again, and the cliffhanger scene was unexpected and a good ending. The way they cut from "I don't know where [William] is" to Miller had me making up all kinds of conspiracies in my head Please register in order to view this content Could it be? On to Season 11!

Members YRBB Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 Gillian Anderson won't do any more X-FILES. So, we'll be left with unresolved cliffhangers or perhaps X-FILES with only Duchovny around? UGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 Chris Carter has stated that if Gillian goes, he no longer wants to do the show, so who knows. To me, Gillian is the MVP on this show. Mulder is replaceable, as proven by the criminally underrated Robert Patrick, but she isn't. They should just end it after this season, IMO.

Members YRBB Posted May 14, 2018 Members Share Posted May 14, 2018 It appears X-FILES has met its ultimate end. It's probably for the best. I will have to finish Season 11. I'm so glad we got a couple more seasons out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juppiter Posted May 15, 2018 Members Share Posted May 15, 2018 LOL @ Gillian. We don't need any new episodes. Seasons 10 and 11 were OK. They had some fun moments. The way they wrapped it up was OK. It was as good an ending as we were ever gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
