It’s no surprise that this episode is generally considered to be one of the best chapters of the X-Files revival seasons, given that it brings back the series’s most acclaimed writer, Darin Morgan, for a monster-of-the-week episode featuring two of the most talented comedic actors on television: Rhys Darby ( Flight of the Conchords) and Kumail Nanjiani ( Silicon Valley). ‘Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster’ (Season 10, episode 3) It also earned Anderson a lead-actress Emmy for her performance in this episode, as well as the entire fourth season. Duchovny and Anderson’s characters were brought closer than they ever had been before in this emotional arc that reverberated from this point to the end of the series’ run, and the script earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Chris Carter, Vince Gilligan, John Shiban, and Frank Spotnitz. The episode unfolds from two perspectives: Scully’s own efforts to come to terms with her fatal diagnosis and Mulder’s desperate quest for both answers and a cure. One of the series’s most heart-wrenching episodes, this 1997 story introduced Scully’s aggressive cancer diagnosis, which would become a recurring plot point throughout the rest of the series. The story follows Mulder and Scully as they investigate a series of murders that seem to involve an invisible killer, which doesn’t seem like anything special until you finally get a glimpse of the killer and, well - let’s just say this is the only episode of the series that still gives us nightmares. You won’t find this episode on many best-of lists, but it’s one of our personal favorites. While there are currently no plans for a season 12, there are more than 200 television episodes, two feature films, and countless tie-in novels and comic books to keep fans immersed in Mulder and Scully’s adventures tracking aliens, monsters, and strange phenomena. The warm reception to that six-episode revival prompted the Fox network to deliver a 10-episode 11th season in 2018. ‘Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose’ (Season 3, episode 4)įBI Agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) returned to the spotlight in recent years for a successful revival of the hit show, which returned to television for its 10th season in 2016 after a 14-year hiatus from the small screen (and an eight-year layoff since The X-Files: I Want to Believe hit theaters in 2008). ‘The Post-Modern Prometheus’ (Season 5, episode 5 ) ‘Jose Chung’s From Outer Space‘ (Season 3, episode 20) Chris Carter has signed on as executive producer and is providing feedback to the creative team regarding scripts and outlines to keep the new stories in line with existing and on-going canon. Joe Harris, recently of Great Pacific but who has also worked on Vampirella, Legends of The Dark Knight and Ghost Projekt has been brought on-board to write alongside artist Michael Walsh and colorist Jordie Bellaire who will be providing the artwork. Who’s writing and illustrating the stories? A number of favorite characters were killed off during the show’s death throes, however this is fiction and so who’s to say if anyone unexpected might be coming back after all. Will we see other recurring characters from the show?Īlmost certainly, however as the opening story begins with the deaths of people associated with the X-Files so some of them might not make it very far! Skinner made a brief appearance in IWTB where he was still with the FBI, but nothing was mentioned then about later recurring characters Agents John Doggett & Monica Reyes so hopefully their stories will be cleared up as the season begins. Season 10 will continue from this point with the pair together romantically but anyone familiar with the show will know that the course of Mulder and Scully’s love never ran smoothly and we can expect this to be the case in Season 10 as events unfold that will test them once again. On a more personal note Mulder & Scully became an item in the show’s seventh season, albeit very subtly, and they were clearly together in the second film to the point of sharing a home and a bed.
