Quoted: I used to love the hell out of this show, but I don't see how they'll be able to pull it off. Story has been beaten to death. Unless they turn it into some kind of comedy i.e. Mulder having left the FBI is a private investigator who's continually getting into trouble. Publishes a magazine with the Lone Gunmen who were shown to have faked their deaths in Season 10(comics). Kind of like Kolchak but with a humorous twist. It got campy enough I can see it being done but going back to the canon story-line, I think it's doomed to fail. |

No...unless it is a miniseries type program such as the new Fargo.
They jumped the shark or just dragged the series out too long something Vince Gilligan learned and applied to Breaking Bad. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

According to the Season 10 comics (endorsed by Carter as canon), they're still alive. Smoking Man arranged something for them. I'm very interested in that plot line. I think it could be used to spin-off a kind of PI show. I'd kill off the alien conspiracy thing in the first two season, then I can see Scully doing the doctor thing with the FBI again, i.e. teaching while you have Mulder and the TLG doing the monster of the week thing as reporters/investigators. I can easily see Scully walking into Skinner's office and saying "Mulder got arrested again." with Skinner just rolling his eyes. |

If they do bring it back, would it be in a post invasion/colonization world? It was strongly suggested that the event was going to take place on 12/21/12. If so, it would to be a dramatically different X-Files. |

I'd enjoy it as long as the original feel was there.
A little bit of sub-plot combined with a new plot thread for each episode (usually) rather than a continuous show that doesn't stand on it's own on a per-episode basis and I'd watch the shit out of it. |

The conspiracy episodes used to piss me off because they were always two parts and they were so cryptic that I had no idea what was happening. I have the first seven seasons on DVD. Now that it's over, I find myself more interested in the conspiracy than most of the monster of the week ones. |

The problem with a conspiracy arc is that sooner or later it has to end - either the conspiracy is exposed, or the person trying to expose it is foiled for good. Otherwise, the audience winds up with... "Conspiracy Blue Balls". |

I have the DVDs because they were on sale for $10.00 per season in some store in Florida. |

I'm torn. I love the first few seasons of x files and I loved the alien conspiracy aspect of it. But, I think I'd almost rather see a reboot along those same lines. The early episodes were outstanding and the peripheral characters like deep throat, Mr x and cancer man were great. Another question is who could do justice to the cancer man character?
