Wojo 2,453 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You'd need to find an exception like Babylon 5 to find a show where one guy had complete control over all the plots and scripts across various seasons. And we all know how fondly that one is still followed twenty years later. ............ . ........ Riiiiiight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yet DS9 was not tightly controlled by only one person. So maybe it doesn't matter how close a show is run by a singular vision. It takes something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Weird change of opinion from Anderson who's been gungho about the show of late. It ended on a cliffhanger, so I hope at the very least they come back and do one more season to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The original overture for her salary was less than Duchovny's, until she demanded equal and they gave it to her (deservedly). crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I've always viewed The X-Files more as Scully's journey than Mulder's. She's the one that has development as a character. Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 We're also introduced to her first, as if she's Alice going down the rabbit hole and meeting Mulder the Mad Hatter. Interestingly, the young readers' novelisation of the Pilot (retitled 'X Marks the Spot') is written from Scully's point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,274 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 She's definitely the more compelling character. They both rely on quality writing though, which was... lacking... in the miniseries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It's a very common dramatic device anyway. Scully is "our" way into the world of alien abductions and strange creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I hope that if they do it will be a bit better. A bit more ambitious. I mean I quite liked it, but bringing back an iconic show after more than a decade and then basically doing a bunch of standard X-Files episodes... What was the point?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 So this will be 3 mythology episodes, and 7 creature of the week ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The mythology really ran its course after the 6th season. The mythology is so messed up and uninteresting right now that I don't see how they can salvage it. They should just stick with MOTW episodes, which would be fine with such an abridged season.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That or a 10 ep miniseries that really gets into the mythology and shows and resolves everything. So we see the aliens, we see their attempted take over, we see whats going on rather then hear old people in dark rooms go on about it. Make it X-Files: Independence Day!
