During the end of the 7nth season I was bored. The series starting anew with fresh cast and a serious tone was a welcomed change for me.<br />The early series' chemistry between Mulder and Scully was absent between agent Reyes and Dogget, or Dogget and Scully, or anyone with anyone really. That, though, did not stop the series from offering pure X-Files entertainment.<br />Albeit the whole baby, love affair thing was boring as well. <br />Ehhh...i long for the days when Scully was refusing the existence of Vampires, Aliens, Ghosts, mutant worm men, Golums and many many other phenomenons.<br />When everything were established not as possibility but as a fact it lost some of the magic...mastorakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169125895923677390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421894077088956274.post-75099983850816365392009-09-30T12:09:49.834+03:002009-09-30T12:09:49.834+03:00I am very glad to see a post like that, being an a...I am very glad to see a post like that, being an avid X-phile myself, and often an apologist.<br /><br />Although the socio-political analysis is intriguing, I have to disagree: I believe the Bush-era would be perfect for a conspiracy show like the X-files, but other factors (too long on the air, Duchovny's semi-absence, convoluted mytharc episodes) led to its justified demise. Although nowadays the economic crisis is well on hand, people's mistrust of their government has more turned into a generalized apathy than a direct protest. I fear that intelligent writing does not belong in today's world (one could refute that by citing Galactica, but its appeal was extremely limited compared to the X-files).<br /><br />I have to agree that 7th season was by far the weakest, with many silly and/or self-referential episodes. Season 8 tried a whole lot to rectify these issues, with a constant serious tone and a season-long quest that engaged viewers. Season 9, while sold, unfortunately lacked the chemistry between the leads. <br /><br />And what of the future? A third and final movie is on the talks for a late 2012 release, although nothing is set in stone. I hope it finally turns out and gives a proper send-off to the characters, because "I want to Believe" was too low key...ebenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155911552466043943noreply@blogger.com
