    The show stated in some episodes that the "Millennium" didn't necessarily revolve around the Y2K, that it was a concept as opposed to a date. With everything that's happened since the show went away there are innumerable tales to tell. This is a great thing and even better since that talentless hack CC won't be able to touch it.

    They can keep going with the character of Frank Black, but I really don't see the point in continuing the story of the show, since it was all based around averting an apocalypse in the year 2000. They could do something about 2012, but John Cusack seems to have that apocalypse covered already.

    Ok, I want to be excited about this- and I am...cautiously. My hands are shaking and my nipples could cut glass right now.

    But, I have some concerns-
    1. Why should we trust Fox with this, when they killed the series to begin with? Did they just do it to poke Chris Carter in the eye?
    2. Is there a script yet? If so, who wrote it? If not, who's on the list?
    3. Anyone seen Bone Dry and can offer some insight into this Hart guy? I wouldn't be upset at all that Carter isn't in the director's (or writer's) chair, frankly.

    @twophrasebark: Because they believe (and unforrtunately they are often correct) that all us mouth breathers will see it for the brand name even if they change everything about it. See I, Robot for an object lesson.

    Millenium was ahead of it's time, right down to the melancholy, vaguely Irish, stringy theme music.

    @twophrasebark: I tolerated it. But beyond a random importing of the three laws, it bore very little resemblance to anything Asimov wrote until the later stuff when he tried to tie all his SF together. It just co-opted the title to try to build an audience.

    @twophrasebark: Taken on its own, I, Robot wasn't bad, but it wasn't Asimov at all. It wouldn't catch half the shit it does if it had a different title.

    Xfiles is Dead.

    Long live Fringe

    (and Lost, for that mater).


    While its quite sensible to progress a charecter age wise...(imagine how much worse Indy4 would have been if they set it the same time as the others)...you will need more then that to start a new show.


    The Xfiles did something great, and laid the way forward for many other shows. (just as others laid the way for the Xfiles).


    But, at its end, the Xfiles stood as a leason as to how NOT to deal with plotarcs, (a particular warning for Lost), and it was always at its strongest with its individual storys.


    Oh, and of course Xfiles is sci-fi.

    It has fictional science in it.

    Either that, or their saying its all real. Which I guess would suit the shows conspiracy/coverup feel even if it would make them deluded.

    @twDarkflame: Lost is useless and the most aptly named show on TV right now. Fringe is Lost with X-Files storylines. And terrible, terrible leads.


    The X-Files was the original and best and there may be a lesson in season 8 and 9 in how not to deal with a mytharc ( which it arguably invented in terms of television drama/sci-fi, at least in name only) but no series since has learned from it's mistakes. Lost has completely missed the point and Fringe doesn't have an iota of the charm the X-Files did.


    There's a point about delusion in here but it certainly isn't applicable to '' Them '', whomever '' they '' are... *cue X-Files theme*

    @Calraigh:


    The thing I like about Fringe is its atheistic approach, where Seasons 6 (an on from there) of the X-files was crammed full of religious bullshit that didn't belong in the show. Granted Mulder was sort of an atheist, but they really went to town on Scully and her religion ... and it was nothing more than a distraction. It really ruined the show for me. Maybe Fringe might go the same route, and if it does I will stop watching it. I'm tired of great Sci-Fi shows integrating the christian religion.

    @dead_red_eyes: Again, you're missing the point. In fact the entire point, so.. not much point in arguing. A large part of the XF narrative was the believer/skeptic dynamic and having Scully be religious in spite of her strict adherence to science and rejection of the paranormal was one of the things that made the XF so interesting. It set it apart, it gave it character.


    Fringe and it's '' atheistic approach ''is not unique; I'd argue it's the only way a show can survive these days and that it's secular approach is merely a cop-out.

    What the hell is more sci-fi than religion?

    The X-Files is "sci-fi" the same way The Enquirer or The Weekly World News is "sci-fi." It's a steaming pile of headline-of-the-week with a pastiche of legitimacy. It's Art Bell with a bigger audience.


    Me, I love Duchovny - and I happen to think Fox is his weakest role. He's MUCH more fun to watch in Twin Peaks or Californication........ neither of which is "sci-fi"


    (though Twin Peaks is as much sci-fi as the X-Files)
