Maybe they set it in 2012? :))
Heres William Davis, founding director of my acting school in Vancouver, talking about the filming of the new episodes in Vancouver and his role as the Smoking Man.
I have low hopes.
The original series alien mythology was so dense and so convoluted, I don't know how you continue with it or even convincingly set it aside many years later.
By now us humans should be all fully colonized, and subservient to our alien masters.
As of 2012 it was game over.
Maybe there was a big alien invasion in 2012, and Mulder with help from the Avengers crew fought them off, and we all carried on living alien free lives, in which case Mulder and Scully can re-unite in the present and fight whatever conspiracy threatens us now. Spectre I think is main worry, if the aliens have been chased away.
Or maybe new series is about Mulder and Scully playing house in a post-alien world.
Like I said, low hopes. 3:-O
show, Millennium a while ago. Maybe i will watch it this Easter, never saw the whole thing during its run.
More than likely - it perhaps suggested that there was still an audience out there for weirdness.
He smokes 100 a day and has died three times already. What strength!
Meh. Ian Fleming did it first. On top of his daily bottle of gin.
But Fleming stayed dead. :))
Yes, he was all too mortal in that sense.
As he may be blind...
And yes Cigarette Man was 100% killed.
No wiggle room here.
Me neither sadly!
Ooooh just hearing that music again put a big smile on my face :D
I felt exactly the same. I was still mostly living at home when it started, but as my parents loved it too, we never missed a show. I think it was on Sunday nights here in the states. But as you note, I lost interest when Duchovny started to slowly bow out as it impacted the dynamics of the show. Anderson is a very talented actress but The Mulder/Duchovny chemistry and Mulder's quest were too much at the heart of the show and they could not replicate it, so the show suffered when they tried to extend it. The way they could swing from a deadly serious, even gruesome ep, and the next week there would be a drop dead hilarious ep with such dry, wacky dialogue that just made you LOL was terrific. It was an incredibly rare elastic kind of show. I hope they can repeat the magic. It's no accident that one of the main production guys on the show was the key guy on Breaking Bad. Talent does sometime rule.
Don't be mislead by the supposed core of the show, the search for Alien life. It's not my thing, but it never interfered with my love of the show's first 4-5 years of eps. It was brilliant. The writing, the Mulder/Scully dynamic. The tension, the insane wit in some of the eps. The wacky plots. Aspects of the show have been much copied, but never really duplicated. Magic in a bottle. Not everyone's cup of tea I guess, but I loved it. Don't waste time on the films. They didn't capture the magic. Just watch the first 4-5 years if you are curious.
Finnish band.
