The X-Files is back and so far the show is tremendously entertaining, full of nostalgia for the original fans. When the show was first on in the mid-90s, it featured two types of episodes; the government conspiracy ones, and the whacked out crazy monster ones. The conspiracy ones, while interesting tended to get bogged down with too many unanswered questions. But the crazy monster episodes were AWESOME! 14 years later, the first two new episodes introduced a new conspiracy theory; the enemy isn’t aliens, it’s mankind. Since the alien crash at Roswell, the military has used alien tech to fake abductions and distract American citizens. Meanwhile the alien DNA is being used to create a super race of 1%ers. While they were both excellent, when I read the title of this week episode, suffice to say I was stoked.
If the trailer and brief video previews just aren’t fully getting the job done when it comes to sating that nearly insatiable craving for new episodes of The X-Files you’ve been struggling with for years now, perhaps a newly released video can help a little.
The video is a behind the scenes featurette that runs a little over 20 minutes in length and features not only peeks at the show’s revival but interviews with cast and crew such as stars David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Mitch Pileggi, as well as creator Chris Carter and others.
