He's the only one.

He just wants another shot at nailing Gillian Anderson, doesn't he?

Its amazing how popular X files was....and how quickly people stopped caring. I lost interest after the first movie.

I was too young to appreciate it at the time, and I really can't be arsed to start caring now. I'll watch it if it's on TV and I have nothing else to do, and more often than not I'll enjoy it, but it's hardly something I feel like getting into at this point.

I want Million dollars and Jenna Jameson to still look hot, like she did in the 90's. But neither one of those is going to happen, now is it?

I think that they really missed the boat by not going the monster route on the films.

And you're right, it's amazing how the fan base for this franchise just dissolved. The David Duchovny Estrogen Brigade just sort of moved on to other things.

I think mostly Fringe.

It's like before the Trek movie came out, all the Trek fans had moved on to BSG.

Or by not giving us some kind of definite resolution to what the hell was going on.

I think what the hell happened is still buried in Chris Carter's mind.

They pretend the dominatrix is Capt. Janeway.

Me too.

The movie should have wrapped up the mysteries that the show had in some definitive way, then launched us into some new mythology. INstead ... grrr!

But they kinda did, by the 7th season the storyline was all but over and there were no main mysteries left. Some things were left unsaid, but that's because they made no sense and was a byproduct of Carter making it up all along as he went.

That's why the last seasons sucked. The mystery was resolved and they failed trying it to pad it even more.

If there's another movie--I'll see it. I just like those characters. That last movie was not great--but I still got a warm fuzzy feeling just seeing those characters again. One of the few shows where I DO care.

I loved those characters, too. They made the show what it was.

A fact lost on Chris Carter, by the way.

That's true. I don't think that Carter ever intended the show to make sense, though. X-FILES was always about questions, rather than answers, and the mythology episodes were chock full of ambiguity.

Mind you, I agree that the last three seasons were a mess. They should have called it quits after Season Six.

If they do make another X-FILES film, then they'll be faced with one main problem: According to the show's mythology, the "alien apocalypse" was going to happen in December, 2012. Obviously, another X-FILES movie will not be finished by then.

Carter wanted to stop after the 6th season when Duchovny wanted out originally and Fox pressured him into keeping the whole thing together well beyond the expiration date. It showed. Had it ended when it was supposed to, I think the movies would have been a bigger hit and there would have been more of them and excitement about the franchise might have remained high. But running the show into the ground those last few extra seasons killed it for me and I stopped watching and caring and was clueless about the end of it. It was no longer the show I loved back in the day.

I don't even remember this but there's still time to do a movie before then. If they turn it into a proper ending for the franchise, I'd probably go see it.

This.

The 2nd movie wasn't a bad movie--other than the fact that it wasn't such a huge crazy thing that they really needed to go get Mulder involved. That was the biggest leap in it--that the viewer couldn't help but say, "Really? THIS was big enough that you HAD to get this guy?"

It was a decent one-off--like many of the episodes--but the hardcore viewers really want character progression at this point--not just another monster.

I eventually saw part of the second film on TV and from what I saw of it, I remember liking it--I just have a hard timing caring about what happens to the characters anymore.
