Chris Carter is such a thief.
It was the one with the field and the dead career.
As for the movie....I loved the X-Files, but the fact that the movie wasn't a continuation of the main story really put my interest low on the scale. I want to know WTF happened with the aliens, oil, Krycheck, cigarette man, well manicured man, etc etc etc. I don't want to watch an FBI movie, I want to watch an X-File. So that's my $.02.
Me too!
I'm still mad that Chris Carter killed off the Lone Gunmen in season 9, and made me not care about it.
I recall there was a goofy episode with Burt Reynolds as a guest star, another one about a guy obsessed with The Brady Bunch or something, and another storyline where they solved what had happened to Doggett's kid years ago, and Lucy Lawless as a super soldier ...
And some crap about Mulder and Scully's Magical Alien Baby and how they gave it to a married couple who had a farm in the middle of nowhere or something, because they had to protect him and gee, no one can ever know about this Magical Alien Baby baby, and surely the bad guys will never find the baby with a family just living on a farm... or maybe we should just write him out of the show because we really fucked up that story.
(It was a really cute baby, though. I remember that.)
so, all of those questions could be answered by revisiting the series, even prior to the seasons 7-8-9 bullshit. except for the well manicure man, the first movie explained that.
SQUEEEEEE.
i didn't know he killed the lone gunmen! i seriously thought in a trailer they had a clip of them walking behind scully at some point?
oh how sad
fsck carter!!
The Burt Reynolds episode was perhaps the best of the season -- a really innovative episode. The music and the humor made it so much fun, even if the suspense plot was a bit lame. The ending was insanely great:Me too!

there are so many stand alone episodes and even multi- part episodes that are much, much better than this current movie.
If you liked the movie, the series will blow you away
FOX will certainly let this die. It needs to make $60 million worldwide to break even since the theaters earn half the profit. It might squeeze by financially on DVD. Would you make a sequel to a film you broke even on that most of the audience didn't really care for?
The film has earned back its budget of $30 million by raking in at least $52 million worldwide, as confirmed by Frank Spotnitz.
I seriously doubt Fox would let this die even if it had failed to make back its budget. This is a cultural phenomenon. Everyone knows about The X-Files.
"The Unnatural" was supposed to mark a return of the guy from the original Kolchak series who was in Season 5's "Travellers" and Season 6's "Agua Mala"; they were part-way through shooting, when he got sick, and that's how they came up with the crazy idea of both brothers sharing the same name: Arthur Dales, if I recall -- because how else would Mulder run into the guy's brother? This stuff was reported when Season 6 was shooting.I'd never heard anything about that, but I'm sure there's lots of stuff behind the scenes I didn't know about.
What went haywire about "The Unnatural?" Was there something that got fouled up behind the scenes that messed up production schedules and the like, or do you just not like the episode?
I thought both of Duchovny's episodes were really well done. Anderson's ... not so much. At least insofar as it wasn't "all things" Scully, it was "all things" Gillian Anderson.
Maybe Zombie Lone Gunmen.
