The X-Files: The Mystery of William

Last week, I speculated a bit about the directions The X-Files might take in season 11 in terms of Mulder's illness, Reyes, the plague, and the Conspiracy. This week, I want to study the figure who is, literally, the key to everything. That figure is William, the son of Mulder and Scully. One of the reasons I so much admire this revival series is that it has been structured in such a way that it leads us to one inescapable conclusion: William is our savior. We see and register Dana's despair about losing William in episodes including "Founder's Mutation," and "Home Again," for example. In ... [Continua a leggere]

Annabeth Gish: "I Believe in Her... In Monica."

Last Saturday, after having a whole week to process the fandom’s reaction to “My Struggle II”, I sat down with Annabeth Gish to fangirl, I mean, talk… about the episode and the aftermath of such shocking revelations. Especially one that left the whole fandom in shock. Click after the jump for more. “What were your thoughts when Chris Carter came to you and presented what was to be Monica’s story?” I ask. “It was concerning to me when I first read it,” Annabeth begins. “But as an actress, you know, my job is to play the elements or ...

Chris Carter: "All of Your Questions Will be Answered."

When you hit such monumental season finales, there’s no other way to get answers to many questions than going to the source. It just so happens that when you’re looking for answers about The X-Files, the only source is Chris Carter. No biggie. Eleven months to the date that Season 10 got greenlit, I shared a conversation with him about the aftermath of the episode, the reactions and more.   “I’m still not quite sure what the reactions are.” He starts. “I heard people feel cheated but I’m not sure what they expect with The X-Files. I think they& ... [Continua a leggere]

X-Files: My Struggle, Part II, or Outfoxed Again

Everything Mulder was told in 'My Struggle, Part I' was a lie. Colonization has begun. Tad O'Malley is a Syndicate Agent. The Old Man is a fraud. Cancer Man is an impostor. Scully is the new Cassandra Spender and everything was orchestrated to get her to create a vaccine using her alien DNA. William is the final key to creating the hybrid slave race, just as was prophesied. Scully will use his stem cells to perfect the vaccine. Everything is proceeding exactly as was first laid out in Season One with 'The Erlenmeyer Flask'. Do I have your attention yet? The X-Files miniseason is over but th ... [Continua a leggere]

Was the Cigarette Smoking Man telling the truth?

“We’ve traditionally ended on a cliffhanger,” X-Files creator Chris Carter tells EW, “and this is as big a cliffhanger as we’ve ever done.” And how: The hit revival of Carter’s paranoia-chic supernatural saga ended with an apparent epidemic threatening to kill most of the human race, including Agent Mulder (David Duchovny) — and that was before a mysterious UFO appeared, with a spotlight pointed directly at Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson). We talked to Carter about what this could mean for The X-Files ’ future. ENTERTAINMENT WEEK ... [Continua a leggere]

How 'The X-Files' pulls off some great musical moments

Last week's episode of The X-Files is one fans will, no doubt, never forget. I mean, how can any of us erase from our minds the image of Fox Mulder tripping on mushrooms and proceeding to perform a country western dance? What you may not have realized at the time, though, was how four different, well-known pieces of music were weaved together to create a not inexpensive backdrop to that sequence — "Somethin' Bad" by Miranda Lambert (featuring Carrie Underwood), "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins and "Misery Is the River of the World" by Tom ...

The X-Files Finale Recap: This Is the End

Last week's X-Files episode, "Babylon," ended with a sign from above. Trumpets sounded in the sky. Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) heard them. Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) did not. The season finale, written and directed by creator Chris Carter, plunges us straight into the portended abyss. "My Struggle II" opens with a monologue similar to the one in the season premiere. This time, it's Scully recounting her work on the X-Files — how it challenged her faith in science and spirituality, even as it reinforced one of the core beliefs she's clung to from the start of her career. "The answers ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson on the Future of 'The X-Files'

Actress discusses the finale, getting back into Scully's mind-set and how the show feels different over a decade later

When The X-Files ended its first run in 2002, Gillian Anderson was over it. "I needed to dig a deep ditch for anything X-Files-related to go into," she says with a big laugh. "It took a while before I could talk about the show with a sense of appreciation and wistfulness." She was 33 at the time of the original series finale and had spent the majority of her adult life playing FBI Special Agent Dr. Dana Scully, the impassive, skeptical voice of reason in the fantastical world of her onscreen foil, Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). Throughout nine seasons, including two after Duchovny left, A ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files Boss Talks Cliffhangers, Betrayals, and What's to Come

Spoiler alert! Do not read this post unless you've seen The X-Files' finale, "My Struggle II."

The X-Files ended its revival with quite the cliffhanger. As the world fell apart around them—thanks to an outbreak of a mysterious disease, that was picking off all but a chosen few—Scully (Gillian Anderson) raced to save a dying Mulder (David Duchovny) with a vaccine that was adapted from the alien elements in her DNA. When she found him, she privately confided in Miller (Robbie Amell) that they might be too late: the only cure for Mulder could be their son, whom she gave up for adoption in 2002.
