Man, me and my crew used to watch this show every Friday night (and eventually every Sunday night) religiously. Oh yeah, we drank the kool-aid! We would hang on every clue, every nuance and follow the adventures of Mulder and Scully for the good episodes and the bad (which were few) until star David Duchovny left the show.

Then it pretty much went downhill from there. In 1998 there was a feature film that to the fans expanded on the big alien mythology and actually made nearly 190 million dollars. It was not long after the movie that Duchovny left the show. He was back from time to time but not in any great capacity and the show really suffered for it. Gillian Anderson did her best to carry the show but without the Mulder/Scully dynamic it just felt like just another decent sc-fi show and not the fantastic one that it was for 6 years.

Well, after numerous false starts since 2000 the new flick is coming July 25. What’s it about? Who fucking knows! Creator Chris Carter has said that it is not dealing with the alien mythology and will be much like the creepy-monster-in-the-shadows episodes of the series that were generally well recieved. Hopefully some of the plotholes left over from the series finale will be resolved. I want to fucking believe!
