Since Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully’s (Gillian Anderson) first days back on the X-Files are now airing as the final standalone of the revival, Carter acknowledges he had to cut out “a sliver” of the episode to make it fit, continuity-wise. RELATED: Chris Carter Shares the Reason The X-Files Really Came Back While the revival’s flow might change slightly with the reordering, “we’ve come and done what we’ve always done: we give you an amazing mix of episodes-we’ve given you thriller episodes, we’ve given you scary episodes, emotional episodes, comedy episodes,” Carter says. It served Episode 2 better to replace it with 5. “Because we have a story arc that runs through the middle of the series…we were concerned that, coming right off a mythology episode going right into a standalone episode, people would say, ‘What’s happened?’” he explains. Though fans might be tempted to blame higher-ups for tinkering with the airing order, The X-Files creator Chris Carter says the shuffle was done to tell the best story possible.

What was filmed as Episode 2 is now running as Episode 4 what was filmed as Episode 4 is now airing as Episode 5 and what was filmed as Episode 5 aired as Episode 2. The revival stuck to one of its initial plans-starting and ending with mythology chapters-but the hours in-between were shuffled. The X-Files’ current revival is only six episodes long, but something curious is going on with their schedule: they aren’t airing in the order they were filmed.

Plenty of old-school monsters walked, flew, or slithered away free, leaving them available for a comeback. It's a running joke in the fandom that Mulder and Scully are terrible agents, who have yet to solve even one case. So Many Fan-Favorite Monsters To Revive For A Victory Lap Maybe He Can Fix Whatever's Happening With Monica ReyesĬan I ever forgive The X-Files revival for destroying the character of Monica Reyes, who would never in a trillion years team up with CSM and the Syndicate? Check with me in a couple of decades.

Surely he warrants a little Season 11 screentime. Still, he played an important role in Scully's life as she dealt with her last partner's disappearance, and he was just a good dude in general. Mulder's by-the-book latter season replacement was doomed by that status not to be the most popular guy on the show. The resurrection of Mulder's three goofball conspiracist buddies was touted with great fanfare, but all Langley, Byers, and Frohike got in the end was a brief cameo during an inexplicably bad drug trip fantasy. That Cliffhanger! You Can't Leave Me This Way! Here are 12 indisputable reasons why The X-Files needs to come back for more episodes. Mulder and Scully still have important work to do, and so does the show. I don’t care if I need to wait another year for the door to that basement office to reopen, as long as it eventually does. The only other option is that I will potentiallyĮxplode. But there has to be a Season 11 of The X-Files (or Season 2 of the revival, however you want to describe it). So what is everyone waiting for? I know contracts have to be signed, agents made happy, and schedules cleared. The network has hinted in that direction, and the stars and showrunner have all shown interest in continuing the work. Fox hasn’t announced a renewal yet, though most signs are pointing towards The X-Files Season 11 happening eventually.

The event series closed out with last Monday’s finale, “My Struggle, Part II,” leaving fans with a litany of unanswered questions and, in my case, slack-jawed shock. I’ve been waiting since 2008’s theatrical release I Want To Believe to see the agents trade theories and loaded glances again, and six episodes were hardly enough to satiate this long-term craving. To me, an OG Mulder and Scully fan, it seemed like The X-Files revival was over in the blink of an eye.
