X-Files Revival Officially Ordered at Fox
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
That EW cover is pretty great. I love that we're months away from the revival's broadcast and the build-up is significant enough to garner Entertainment Weekly's cover.
As I was looking through the Previews catalog for September last night, I came across the IDW section and here's what it had for that month's X-Files solicitation:
X-FILES: SEASON 11, #2
"Home Again," Part 1 of 2: Despite his fugitive status, Mulder continues to investigate X-Files along the highways and byways of America. His latest stop is a secluded farm, which he soon discovers to be the new home of the infamous Peacock family!
This blurb sounds extremely similar to the rumored story for the revival's second episode -- even the titles are identical, "Home Again." Yikes.
Presumably this issue and its contents have already been cleared by the Fox licensing department, but I have to wonder if this story (as solicited) will ever see print. If it does make it to press, it'll be interesting to compare the two versions of a "Home" sequel.

Have to admit, it is pretty cool seeing so much hype and excitement over X-Files again, especially after the way the second movie bombed in theaters and it seemed like audiences had completely lost all interest.
But I guess enough time has passed that people are actually able to get excited about the idea again.

Actually, the EW article accompanying the cover reveal mentions that the TV episode "Home Again" isn't a "Home" sequel.
Exactly. I liked IWTB for what it was worth though.
Not thrilled over some things, but I'm hoping things turn out well.
I liked it, too, but I admit it was one of the most boring things I've ever watched that I liked.
And boring doesn't seem to sell very well to most people. Now me, I bought the dvd, but I haven't watched it yet.
I mean I like how methodical and detailed it was, but that also streched it out to long periods of talking without much happening. But in the end when Skinner came looking for them I practically jumped up and cheered. So I did enjoy the movie.
I don't know why I like Skinner so much, but I could really watch X-Files if they just kept him. I think he could carry it, at least for some of the episodes.
There something about him blending both Mulder's ability to believe but Scully's not jumping at every possiblity that really makes him much more grounded. But I guess it wouldn't work to have an ADA running around investigating things.

Ah, rumor debunked!
Thanks for the correction, Brendan Moody.
As for the film I Want to Believe, I quite liked it. It was more Scully-centric than Fight the Future and whereas FtF focused on the mythology of the show, IWtB definitely catered to the 'shipper crowd. Taken as a pair, the two movies provide a nice balance for one another.
Also, it's sort of fitting that one of the movies is a mythology story and the other is a monster-of-the-week-type case.
I absolutely love the post-credits scene, with Mulder and Scully on the boat. When I believed that was the ultimate and final screen appearance of those two characters, I thought that it was nice that -- at the very least -- we got a sorta-happy/sorta-hopeful ending for their story.
Hopefully the revival leaves them in a somewhat positive place in their lives, as well.
Yep exactly. That's what I like about the two, as different as the movies are, they complemented each other.
I hope so too.
Wait, why is Mulder a fugitive? I thought the second film, I Want to Believe, had the F.B.I. clearing him and letting him back in to investigate the case in the film.
So did I.
I don't think he's a fugitive... just really
.We don't know what's happened in the past 7-8 years. Maybe he's undercover trying to protect Scully. Maybe he's coo coo. I truly hope it isn't the latter. Because damn, he's been through way more than enough.
Some memorable episodes for me were the genie episode and the "cops" style episode
Fox just put out a promo!

"The truth is in there."
According to that promo, 201 days to go...

Yeah, the last scene looked new to me, too. Scully's hair not only looked different, but she also looked older (as she does today) than when we last saw he in the second film and the series.
Yep. It is.
Wondering how she'll be brought back in though tbh. I figure it probably has to do with their son.
Hmm. I bet that's partially why they go back. He figures that the FBI is hiding something big.
