I like the X-Files with David and Gillian. When they had less to do with acting in it, I didn't like it as much. I am the kind of person who doesn't like cast changes. I remember Charlie's Angel's. The way they kept replacing the Angels
This show changed my life when I was 11. I was absolutely obsessed with it through my teens. In 1995, I caught the end of an episode in season 2 and was hooked from that point onwards. Nothing will ever come close to The X Files for me. Pure perfection. It was my best friend during my very turbulent journey through adolescence.
My husband and I are currently getting our 11 year old daughter hooked on it. At first she didn't find it relatable, but quickly realized almost every episode does have something relevant and/or informative. Perfect example: we watched the episode that talks about Operation Paperclip weeks ago... we were watching something tonight that mentioned Werhner von Braun as a space engineer/architect and she said "isn't that one of the scientist from Operation Paperclip?" (Proud parenting moment for her father and me.) We are almost finished with season 3. It's nice to know maybe one day she'll be an adult and grateful we watched it together as a family.🖤
I was 5 or 6 years old when I first watched the X-Files. My dad would put me to bed, but I'd sneak to my grandmas room to sleep in her bed, and we'd stay up for hours watching TV. X-Files, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Murder She Wrote, and the OG, Diagnosis: Murder! I read your comment, and it took me back because, honestly, those were the days, and nothing will ever touch the X-Files for me, like you said!
I want a prequel to the X-Files called, The Syndicate. It should focus on the formation of the group and their upward climb to power. They could also have Agent Dales discover the x-files and focus on his early investigations in the paranormal.
The X-Files was literally the definition of the 90s. The whole world was watching this show and really peaked the general audiences’ interest in aliens and ufos. Glad Disney+ has all the episodes in its library.
It’s also streaming for free on freevee, and you’re right, it really was the epitome/definition of the 90’s. I was a teenager when the show was running through the 90’s, and I remember when I started working at a Borders Books And Music, part of the staff would come in and discuss episodes the day after they aired! What a time to be alive! 👽
My niece gave me an "official X Files" flashlight and two days later... Our power went out! Cut to me, going around dark corners saying "Mulder it's me!" Didn't see any aliens but we all know... The Truth is out There !! 👽🛸
I binge watched all 9 series in the past month thanks to Disney + and I gotta say that it was so beyond its time and being a horror fanatic myself I've acknowledged that a lot of modern horror has taken inspiration from the X files. The 90s noir tone that especially the first series have is still unmatched, I think even David Fincher took something from it. The show went downhill in season 8 towards 9 because Mulder was unreplaceble and the 2016/2018 series were mostly fan service but I hope it will be rediscovered soon. Thanks for the vid and merry Christmas!
@@lucy8178 I LOVE those two episodes! Reg and Them!! And Dagoooo!! The next-to-no dialogue about modern tech was pretty good too. Scully's house?! Wowsers! Lol
#108: The 90's Canadian show "Reboot" made by Mainframe Entertainment (the same people who made Beast Wars) was Headquartered in BC. Gillian Anderson was a fan of the show and toured the company and everything. While she was married to Clyde Klotz who was the art director for both Reboot AND X-files a Reboot episode named "Trust No one" featured a character called Data Nully who was an agent investigating supernatural disappearances voiced by Gillian Anderson. The episode was heavily based on the first X-files movie and a few episodes. It also had a Fox Mulder character named Fax Modem (the show took place inside a computer)
The revival ending felt so rushed and out of character. Like Scully spent years searching for her son and thinking about him and he's then shot in the head and she accepts it in like 2 seconds? Nah I need more. I want Mulder and Scully to end up together how they deserve after so many years
This is my all-time favorite TV show period. I've seen so many other shows similar to this over the years and I always feel: meh It's been done on the X-files already. The Truth Is Still Out There.
Lone gunmen was left on a cliffhanger.that series could come back. Just not in the xfiles... I absolutely dig the lone gunmen. Upper deck put out a xfiles card set . It had all 3 lone gunmen autographs in it. I had to buy them!! Lol
The X-files is timeless. Die hard fans know the grandfather of this show is Kolchak The Night Stalker which is timeless as well. Carter loved Darren McGavin and wanted him to reprise his famous role but alas he wouldn’t be Kolchak ever again😢
Kolchak is Classic, I got my Dvds a few years ago and they r my prized collection. It was awesome that Darren McGavin played the dad in Christmas Story.
X-Files is without a doubt the best TV show from the 90s, I used to watch it with my father and my brother back in the day. It should have ended at season 7 though, David Duchovny's departure killed the show for me.
just so you all know Mulder was born on Friday 13th October 1961...I had to check when I saw his file if it was on a Friday, my gut knew it was. My youngest son was born on the same day but in `95. He died tragically 2019....I miss you x
I worked graveyards on the weekends through much of the first several years of the success of the X Files, so I only made the journey through all original seasons for the first time about 7 or 8 years ago. I'm currently watching it again for a second time, and am really surprised at how much I didn't recall from the first run-through, as well as how much I missed the first time that now stands out on the second journey through all seasons. I'm not crazy about the idea of an animated re-boot as a comedy. The chemistry between the actors (not just Duchovny and Anderson, but all of them) is so strong that there could be another at least several seasons created with brand new explorative content based solely on true unexplained events of the past two decades. I read somewhere that Anderson recently turned down the chance for another X Files reboot, which is disappointing. The article also stated that Duchovny would not do the show again without Anderson - very admirable. I'm all for another complete reboot of the X Files with as many of the original players as are still available. It would kick serious ass, and any fan of this series knows it. This series was so far ahead of its time and just so very brilliant. I did become a huge fan of Chris Carter's Millennium show when it was new because I could watch it before work during those years, but they kind of went nuts with it toward the end of Season 1 and I could see that it most unfortunately wasn't going to last, despite the absolutely impeccable performances of Lance Henriksen and Megan Gallagher.
108: Some of the music written for the film "Fight the Future" was composed and arranged by Mike Oldfield, whose famous "Tubular Bells" was used as the main theme for the film "The Exorcist", thanks to its eerie opening melody. For the X-Files film, one of the tracks he created blended Tubular Bells with the X-Files theme, called "Tubular X", and the result is far more groovy than it has any right to be.
Do you have a source for that? According to the score's booklet, all music for the score was written by Mark Snow. Also, the "Tubular X" version of the XF-Theme was only included on the European release of the FTF OST.
@MidwestDankAlumni Both movies were a hit, made millions, look up the cost of making the 2 movies and how much they made at box office, and the overseas and then the residual release on DVD, And all the replays from Netflix to Tubi, .....they made billions of dollars that even today Chris Carter, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson still collect their residual checks every year and years to come from all the replays of the X-Files being replayed throughout the world!
@@rhodyreport8949 they’re not talking about the movies they are talking about the revival which did tank most fans of the show did not like the ending of s11 and gillian was also against it and said she’s no longer reprising her character and david said he’s not doing x files without her so i doubt it will ever come back
@user-ws6gc8vv9u There was an episode where a Senator helped Mulder go to a base , a communication base where contact was made, Mulder actually had the evidence but it was ultimately lost and he escape , but the Senator disappeared, sound very familiar with what Richard Dolan, Linda Moulton Howe, Jimmy Church with his own podcast Fade to Black on Spotify, or Jimmy Church own channel! I think they should bring back the X-Files with all new disclose evidence that's been revealed! Still lots of untold stories, BTW, 1st movie dealt with truth about Bees, Antarctic, black oil, and hidden secrets, the 2nd movie could have covered more!...the 1st was better
"The Lone Gunmen" show was soon canceled after they predict 9/11 in Pilot episode, there was just 13 episodes and stop at 1st June 2001, 3 month before all world changed...
Super pacing and editing of this presentation. Tons of info but no dragging...that's not easy to do. Super background info...I don't know how you came with all this good stuff.
#69 Home: Home is a real town in western Pennsylvania located on the back roads between Pittsburgh and Punxatawny (yup - groundhog central). My then-boyfriend was going to school in Punxy and we had to pass through Home on the way to visit him. It is just as weird as portrayed. Definitely the sort of town you don't want to get caught in after dark!
Not sure how I feel about some kind of Star Trek Lower Decks style spinoff of X-Files. Part of the reason why the show was so good was that it took its horror and investigative aspects pretty seriously most of the time.
When are series comes to end, where you have formed an emotionally attachment with the characters (because everyone you know really sucks) ...its like losing a friend. The most memorable television series really captures the zeitgeist of their time and is the reason they elicit feelings of nostalgia as they transport us emotionally back in time, when nightmares where something you had when you slept, as opposed to taday, where we wake to nightmare every morning. And each night when we go to bed, we say little prayer to our God emploring HER ha, to have mercy and take us in our sleep. Dr They, nailed it, "The truth is out there, but people today wouldn't regonize it if they fell over it. If you did another series of the X-files today, the Qnon lunatics would be anaylising the surreptitious clues, as that is what gives psychotics a reason to live, and might have something to do with the explosion of mental illness. The current zeitgeist is bewildeing infantile stupidity and ignorance We need to be challenging the lunatics in government like Mulder and Scully did ....or we are doomed. Denial has limits, and we are now abusing it, and after everything it has done for us. There's just no respect anymore I am a transistorized, transgenderized, transmogrified, trans-human A corporatized, commercialized, industrial strength consumer A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak A social climbing net worker that's always on heat I got my education majoring in indoctrination Where they taught me to comply, to never question why And so I'm chasing an illusion of success that's a delusion That's sending me insane, exploding my brain And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial
I've been introduced to several new channels with the algorithm, I'll admit that these (number of) facts are a bit of a hit or a miss with me but really liked yours. A good mix of inworld and real-life facts and all so interesting, Have now subscribed and will be checking out more.
You forgot to mention a song by Bree Sharp, called "the man, the myth, the monotone. She sent the song to Duchovny who got a kick out of it and sent it to a record executive friend of his. I think she only did one record. But I thought it was a great story
The original soundtrack of the first movie has a hidden track at the end. At 10:13 the silence is broken and the full secret behind the X-Files is revealed. I found it by accident.
all great info and wonderful Easter Eggs - great job! even that animated comedy series - as long as STORYTELLING and not WOKE values are the focus of the new show.
Yeah kind of shocks me that nobody discusses that Chris Carter openly admitted in the 90s he had intelligence friends who helped him with cases to base storyline from. Even if it was disinformation a large amount of it was still based on U/X/Y Files kept by the letter agencies since the 40's.
Carter knew what he was doing from start to finish and he also helped an amazing actress to give birth without worrying while holding on the fans... WHY CAN'T THINGS BE LIKE THEY USED TO BE THEN?! I mean we have more technology that ever and yet we f@(k things up extremely hard, should be easier instead of harder but I guess we're too spoiled and lazy to try and most of the legit creators grew old....DAMMIT!
20:14 - ...WOW, you're legit gonna do BREE SHARP that way?? She's another singer who's also got a song called David Duchovny (well known enough for him to have performed it with her a time or two! Look it up, it's got a music video & everything. Ironically, as the biggest female X-Phile in the early 2000s, I knew all about Bree Sharp & bought her album just for that song, but didn't know about the other musicians' tributes you mentioned... 🤔
Fact #108: The show was (and still is) so popular in Poland, that the small unit of newly-established police in 90' (remember: to 1989 Poland was a communist state, so there was a need in 90' to establish new law-forces) dubbed itself the X-Files ("Archiwum X"). The unit is known by this name to this day and works on the unresolved murder cases. In the early 90' unit worked mostly on the cases from 70' and 80', which originally were handled by militia (communist's law-force) - it was almost impossible task, since there was a high probability that some of those murders had been commited by the old regime.
Would love to see a series spin-off set between the late 1940s and early 1960s with an entirely new cast of characters with perhaps possible references to the beginnings of the Syndicate and a cold war flavour.
X-Files was one of the last shows I can remember where you would need to be there as it aired. couldn't risk your VHS not taping it correctly... or someone talking about it before you had a chance to see it yourself.
The Avengers. My favorite show when I was a kid. Dianna Rigg was the star, Mrs Peel. After she left they did one season without her with some forgettable character and then it was canceled.
I love the conspiracy/UFO and paranormal genre(s). This series was a home run. I bought every movie and complete series boxed set along with "The Lone Gunman" single series. It was a banner time. We had Art Bell in his prime, X-files and Millennium. Will not watch the comedy reboot though (I would probably cringe). I believe they made an error not continuing the gunman series. If anyone reading this knows of any other shows similar please do tell. Cheers.
Great video! My favorite was #105. The man probably would never had done a cameo. But he wanted to give tribute to his beat friend Frankie. I know that feeling when it comes to dogs. The cameo was for Frankie, not Chris. Teared me up a bit
Carter already did a cameo as an FBI agent at Scully's hearing in the episode 2X25 Anasazi. More interesting was the cameo by Vanessa Tomassino (née Morley) in the second movie who had played Mulders younger sister Samantha as child during the first 4 seasons.
Chris Carter's big unchecked ego was the main culprit for the show tanking back then (no matter what he keeps saying, blaming it on "The World had changed after 9/11, ppl didn't want a show that was distrusting the Gov blah blah" : BS, we all knew it).. Back then i remember popular chatrooms with high ranking insiders working on the show, very regularly venting their frustration with Carter, spilling how messy it truly was behind the scenes bc Carter was driving most of them nuts, why several key players left the show after a few seasons bc Carter lacked logic & consistancy storylines wise, including on the Mythology arc. Famously that's why Darin Morgan had quit, among others. It was known the official reasons given back then were BS. On top of that it was infamous at the time how pissed off the Canada crews and production teams were bc Carter had no obligation to relocate the show to LA bc Duchovny was pressuring him to. The show was on top of its popularity & quality storylines wise back then, so Duchovny wouldn't have quit, he had no intention to, it was just a poker play, Carter's ego wanted to go to LA too bc he thought he was missing on a lot of attention being in Canada, which was the LAST thing he needed at the time bc he was already overwhelmed with work bc of his other shows on top of the X-Files.. We all know it killed most of what was great about the show bc many crew members and key players were left behind or quit out of frustration, but also bc the show was so big it got even messier behind the scenes, too many ppl got involved, too much money and ego at play for Carter who kept siding with the big bucks over what was truly in the show's best interests, AND siding against Duchovny and being a hypocrit about it didn't help either.. Carter is the kind of big Hollywood Ego guy who has never admitted to this day his direct responsibility for the downfall of the show and the revival, and never will, he keeps blaming others, also why the second movie was a disappointment, he hadn't listened to a lot of ppl who had advised him against that poor story including famously Anderson and Duchovny. The revival was doomed bc Carter didn't learn from his biggest mistakes, all his other projects have tanked, during the X-Files and since, for the SAME reason..He is in his 70s yet he still hasn't learnt, that's why he's still labeled too hard/pain in the as* to work with, his big ego is still his worst enemy... The most frustrating part for OG fans (like me) is on paper key players who had returned for the revival was great and frankly reassuring news bc they really could have made it so much better if Carter had matured hence listened.. Several key players had returned bc they really love the show so wanted the revival to be great, had great ideas (reported later on) including on the Mythology arc, but once again Carter was all over the place, wouldn't listen, so a lot of stuff made zero sense, were poorly used.... The result: we all watched it, Carter killed the show for good, It is his fault, for every decision made arc wise Carter had the final say NO MATTER what he still claims to reject responsibility on other ppl/circusmtances. No wonder Anderson was pissed off, rightfully so..

#108: Dave Grohl makes a cameo in season 3, episode 17: Pusher in the beginning. 😍🙌🏻❤️
Jack Black beat Grohl being in S03E03 "D.P.O." lots of cool cameos through the years The X-Files aired though.
@@BeExcellent1 yup! Ryan Reynolds too!
When are series comes to end, where you have formed an emotionally attachment with the characters (because everyone you know really sucks) ...its like losing a friend.
The most memorable television series really captures the zeitgeist of their time and is the reason they elicit feelings of nostalgia as they transport us emotionally back in time, when nightmares where something you had when you slept, as opposed to taday, where we wake to nightmare every morning. And each night when we go to bed, we say little prayer to our God emploring HER ha, to have mercy and take us in our sleep.
Dr They, nailed it, "The truth is out there, but people today wouldn't regonize it if they fell over it. If you did another series of the X-files today, the Qnon lunatics would be anaylising the surreptitious clues, as that is what gives psychotics a reason to live, and might have something to do with the explosion of mental illness.
The current zeitgeist is bewildeing infantile stupidity and ignorance
We need to be challenging the lunatics in government like Mulder and Scully did ....or we are doomed. Denial has limits, and we are now abusing it, and after everything it has done for us. There's just no respect anymore
I am a transistorized, transgenderized, transmogrified, trans-human
A corporatized, commercialized, industrial strength consumer
A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak
A social climbing net worker that's always on heat
I got my education majoring in indoctrination
Where they taught me to comply, to never question why
And so I'm chasing an illusion of success that's a delusion
That's sending me insane, exploding my brain
And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct
I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial
I've been introduced to several new channels with the algorithm, I'll admit that these (number of) facts are a bit of a hit or a miss with me but really liked yours. A good mix of inworld and real-life facts and all so interesting, Have now subscribed and will be checking out more.
They should make another movie with Mulder and Scully
X-Files Assisted Living.
I have always loved this show. and the movies.
You forgot to mention a song by Bree Sharp, called "the man, the myth, the monotone. She sent the song to Duchovny who got a kick out of it and sent it to a record executive friend of his. I think she only did one record. But I thought it was a great story
Top 5 show of all time.
The original soundtrack of the first movie has a hidden track at the end. At 10:13 the silence is broken and the full secret behind the X-Files is revealed. I found it by accident.
There was a sticker on the OST cover about that track...so not so hidden at all.
I'm so ticked off to hear how they treat it Scully behind the scenes!!!🤬
Wow ! HOW !! have this people not seen Gillian Anderson !!! Gorgeous
More sex appeal than Gillian Anderson? Goddamn
I love Jillian is "Sex Education" on Netflix, her character is just perfect.
All-time favorite TV show period. Number two is the Avengers with Peel.
The X-Files and Kolchak are my 2 favorite tv shows of all
no wonder this show is so good, it has vince gilligan and chris carter, two legend
The "comedy" show sounds like a nightmare. Not everything needs to contain "comedy." :(
I have seen a few characters from Supernatural in the X files.
They are still AWESOME!
all great info and wonderful Easter Eggs - great job!
even that animated comedy series - as long as STORYTELLING and not WOKE values are the focus of the new show.
X-files was DOPE!
Only Important X-Files Fact: All the cases and/or plotline scenarios in the show are based on real cases from the US gov real X-Files cases
Yeah kind of shocks me that nobody discusses that Chris Carter openly admitted in the 90s he had intelligence friends who helped him with cases to base storyline from. Even if it was disinformation a large amount of it was still based on U/X/Y Files kept by the letter agencies since the 40's.
Carter knew what he was doing from start to finish and he also helped an amazing actress to give birth without worrying while holding on the fans... WHY CAN'T THINGS BE LIKE THEY USED TO BE THEN?! I mean we have more technology that ever and yet we f@(k things up extremely hard, should be easier instead of harder but I guess we're too spoiled and lazy to try and most of the legit creators grew old....DAMMIT!
Yes, I would love to see more “X File” bring them on,!
That animated show might as well be called "X Files: Lower Decks" from the sound of it.
And will probably be just as awful.
20:14 - ...WOW, you're legit gonna do BREE SHARP that way?? She's another singer who's also got a song called David Duchovny (well known enough for him to have performed it with her a time or two! Look it up, it's got a music video & everything.
Ironically, as the biggest female X-Phile in the early 2000s, I knew all about Bree Sharp & bought her album just for that song, but didn't know about the other musicians' tributes you mentioned... 🤔
Fact #108: The show was (and still is) so popular in Poland, that the small unit of newly-established police in 90' (remember: to 1989 Poland was a communist state, so there was a need in 90' to establish new law-forces) dubbed itself the X-Files ("Archiwum X"). The unit is known by this name to this day and works on the unresolved murder cases. In the early 90' unit worked mostly on the cases from 70' and 80', which originally were handled by militia (communist's law-force) - it was almost impossible task, since there was a high probability that some of those murders had been commited by the old regime.
I loved this show, lots of nostalgia. When are you gonna add season 4 to the stranger things timeline?
Chris Carter hates dogs lol. He literally kills a dog in every season
Yea, sure! I want more X Files! 🎃🎉
Great work
lov thus show, and have just started to rewatch it from the start
I Love watching it on Comet. Always been a hardcore fan
Same here!! Jumped for joy when Comet started showing the series.
@@elizabethr.110 love the marathons they play a variety of episodes & replay them later. As well as newer ones.
Comet is a great little channel.
Carter was Editor of a surfing magazine
I can't imagine life without this show
Would love to see a series spin-off set between the late 1940s and early 1960s with an entirely new cast of characters with perhaps possible references to the beginnings of the Syndicate and a cold war flavour.
Very well made and interesting! Subbed.
A 30 years on Film would be nice
And A
No to the cartoon jokey thing
So, this is the standard television used to have. Now they have Milf Mansion.
God help us all.
"Producers didn't think Gillian had the sex appeal needed." Producers with no taste
7:05 what complete utter blasphemy! That woman was and even still is an absolute smoke show.
X-Files was one of the last shows I can remember where you would need to be there as it aired. couldn't risk your VHS not taping it correctly... or someone talking about it before you had a chance to see it yourself.
@Cinematica great video 😎👍
I'm a big fan of The X Files and the Lone Gunmen.
Watch this show every night for the past 6 years the feel is unmatched i sleep like a baby
My absolute favorite episode is Jose Chung's from outer space. War of the coprophages close second.
The Avengers. My favorite show when I was a kid. Dianna Rigg was the star, Mrs Peel. After she left they did one season without her with some forgettable character and then it was canceled.
Good list. BUT... (there's always a 'but') at 33:22 that's Blythe Danner, not Glenne Headley. Headly played the bartender.
I love the conspiracy/UFO and paranormal genre(s). This series was a home run. I bought every movie and complete series boxed set along with "The Lone Gunman" single series. It was a banner time. We had Art Bell in his prime, X-files and Millennium. Will not watch the comedy reboot though (I would probably cringe). I believe they made an error not continuing the gunman series. If anyone reading this knows of any other shows similar please do tell. Cheers.
Great video! My favorite was #105. The man probably would never had done a cameo. But he wanted to give tribute to his beat friend Frankie. I know that feeling when it comes to dogs. The cameo was for Frankie, not Chris. Teared me up a bit
Carter already did a cameo as an FBI agent at Scully's hearing in the episode 2X25 Anasazi. More interesting was the cameo by Vanessa Tomassino (née Morley) in the second movie who had played Mulders younger sister Samantha as child during the first 4 seasons.
@@yumpox oh didn't know that. I guess he was still doing that one for his dog though?
Gillian Anderson didn’t have enough sex appeal? Who da fuq thought that?
without those two it's over
You didn't talk about it's crossover with Cops called X-Cops
Nah, not really a crossover.
Dr Richard Alan Miller wrote a lot of the first 8 episodes a go to expert in the field doing the real work...love you doc ram...
Yes bring on more X-Files
The X-Files now play on COMET TV. Star Gate also plays on COMET TV.
#107 According to Carter, the comedy spin-off won't happen - and I think we can all be glad about that.
I watched the first 5 years religiously. Then heard the show might end and never watched another episode. I did watch the movie though.
Cary Grant (in the corn field) and Blythe Danner (looks like)
Love the x files
Chris Carter's big unchecked ego was the main culprit for the show tanking back then (no matter what he keeps saying, blaming it on "The World had changed after 9/11, ppl didn't want a show that was distrusting the Gov blah blah" : BS, we all knew it).. Back then i remember popular chatrooms with high ranking insiders working on the show, very regularly venting their frustration with Carter, spilling how messy it truly was behind the scenes bc Carter was driving most of them nuts, why several key players left the show after a few seasons bc Carter lacked logic & consistancy storylines wise, including on the Mythology arc. Famously that's why Darin Morgan had quit, among others.
It was known the official reasons given back then were BS. On top of that it was infamous at the time how pissed off the Canada crews and production teams were bc Carter had no obligation to relocate the show to LA bc Duchovny was pressuring him to. The show was on top of its popularity & quality storylines wise back then, so Duchovny wouldn't have quit, he had no intention to, it was just a poker play, Carter's ego wanted to go to LA too bc he thought he was missing on a lot of attention being in Canada, which was the LAST thing he needed at the time bc he was already overwhelmed with work bc of his other shows on top of the X-Files..
We all know it killed most of what was great about the show bc many crew members and key players were left behind or quit out of frustration, but also bc the show was so big it got even messier behind the scenes, too many ppl got involved, too much money and ego at play for Carter who kept siding with the big bucks over what was truly in the show's best interests, AND siding against Duchovny and being a hypocrit about it didn't help either..
Carter is the kind of big Hollywood Ego guy who has never admitted to this day his direct responsibility for the downfall of the show and the revival, and never will, he keeps blaming others, also why the second movie was a disappointment, he hadn't listened to a lot of ppl who had advised him against that poor story including famously Anderson and Duchovny.
The revival was doomed bc Carter didn't learn from his biggest mistakes, all his other projects have tanked, during the X-Files and since, for the SAME reason..He is in his 70s yet he still hasn't learnt, that's why he's still labeled too hard/pain in the as* to work with, his big ego is still his worst enemy...
The most frustrating part for OG fans (like me) is on paper key players who had returned for the revival was great and frankly reassuring news bc they really could have made it so much better if Carter had matured hence listened.. Several key players had returned bc they really love the show so wanted the revival to be great, had great ideas (reported later on) including on the Mythology arc, but once again Carter was all over the place, wouldn't listen, so a lot of stuff made zero sense, were poorly used.... The result: we all watched it, Carter killed the show for good, It is his fault, for every decision made arc wise Carter had the final say NO MATTER what he still claims to reject responsibility on other ppl/circusmtances.
No wonder Anderson was pissed off, rightfully so..
