WHAT WE KNOW?
The truth is out there. And by that I mean there is a 21 minute featurette of
the revival.
Other
interesting things to keep in mind, Joel McHale is on it! Unconventional – very
exciting – casting. And the show will keep the structure of stand-alone cases
mixed with mythological episodes.
WHEN and WHERE? January 24th FOX
LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT: HIGH
I have a
shocking confession. I didn’t watch The
X-Files. I was only a kid when it premiered and even though most people I
knew watched it, my mother had some sort of prejudice against TV shows of the
supernatural/fantasy flare [I have since converted her. She watches GoT now]. By the time I became aware of
my sin of omission, the show was in season 7 or something and I never jumped on
board.
Since then I
have been attempting to stream it but…. You know… there are a lot of episodes.
And so… the biggest hole in my TV experience was created. Bear in mind that I
am really into sci-fi, and this is probably one of the most important seminal
shows on the genre. I wish I could use this opportunity to catch up, but there
are only so many hours in the day!
So? Are you
part of the rare breed of X-files virgins? Fear not. I have a plan.
I refuse to
miss out on the cultural phenomenon that is The
X-Files, once more. So I am determined to get into it. Some basic knowledge
is required: We have Mulder and Scully and they work for the FBI. They
investigate paranormal phenomena. Scully tends to be an skeptic, Mulder has an
open mind.
Since I won’t
be able to catch up on nearly a decade of mythology, my plan is to just dive
into the new season. Presumably there will be enough new stuff that I can follow,
however I will probably miss most of the references. Sometimes a reference is
obvious and the answer is easy to find in Wikipedia [sometimes I need to do
this with shows I’ve watched!] After the new episodes end, I expect to be
confused and intrigued. Perfect mood to FINALLY stream the gazillion episodes
that came before. At least I will have a better feel of the show and characters
and hopefully the task will seem less daunting.
Yeah, it seems
like a lot of work, but hey you can’t accuse me of not trying…
