Apparently not. Fox is in talks with Chris Carter to bring it back, including having David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise Scully and Mulder. Nothing creative yet, just seeing how schedules line up, but still...
Also having (unrelated of course) talks about bringing back Prison Break and running a Kiefer-free version of 24 (not sure how that would work; he was that snow). [Reply]
Went in after reading some of the reviews and thought "Uh oh...", but it's the same X-Files I grew up with. Hope they continue past this six-episode mini-series! [Reply]

Look at it this way, if someone asked 'how does Manning look for the SB' and I pulled up a story about eating lunch with Eli a year ago where Eli told me personally that Manning was going to retire before the 2015 season, are you suggesting no one would pass me shit about it?
It wasn't a "year ago" it was last spring.
Regardless, I passed on info from an actual conversation.
Rest assured, it won't happen again, regardless of the topic. [Reply]
I enjoyed the first episode. The second one was not as enjoyable. Too much dialogue and running around everywhere. Of course, this is exactly how the original series was, IIRC. [Reply]
Never got to see every episode but there was one that stuck with me so I did a Netflix search the other night and found it and watched it again.Also thanks to this video learned it was only episode that FOX wouldn't rebroadcast.
Ratings were very good. 13.5 million viewers. Some of that is from the NFCC, but at the same time, a lot of people didn't seem to know it was on or missed it because of the start time due to the game. For reference, the finale only had 12 million, as did the original premiere. IIRC, the highest episode in viewers was in season 4 or 5. "Leonard Betts" or "Herrenvolk". Some episode around there got like 19 million.
Episode 2 got around 9 million. Anything near there going forward is a great sign for a possible renewal.
I enjoyed both episodes. Much better than I feared reading some reviews. I didn't love the mythology and hope it turns out to not be true(for the sake of the original series mythology), but I liked them anyway. Too much was shown to the viewers when Mulder was not around proving alien existence in the conspiracy to make the all-government angle believable. The "it was all for show" doesn't wash for that reason alone. Hell the death of the syndicate puts a major flaw in this story. The bounty hunter would also be a disaster if viewed as a government man.
Anyway, thought the second episode was good, not great. Had a Fringe/X-Men feel to it. Not really interested in the William angle, never was, but it was necessary to address it. Hope the next episode is funny and they follow it with a legit scary episode. As always, the MOTW is probably what will allow the ratings to sink or swim. [Reply]
Just finished watching both episodes on the Fox website. Enjoyed the hell outta both shows. Gillian Anderson's voice sounds sexy as hell these days. [Reply]
