All this X-File talk is causing memories to surface. The waiting in anticipation until Sunday night at 9pm. When my brother and I would save up so when we went to our father's every other weekend we could buy a new X-File tape. They had most of season 1 and 2 on VHS we have all of the ones they put out. I remember how we couldn't wait to get it home and watch it. We would share the cards that came inside them one for each episode they portrayed the episode in unique images done by an artist whose name I don't remember now. I remember how much we wanted Mulder and Scully to have thier 'moments' as we called them where they got close. I recall when Millenium came on we had waited all this time. When they kissed my brother was like "doesn't count its just new years!" I repliedd " Yes it does! They're just using it as an exuse!" And when Triangle was on it was me who was saying " That doesn't count because its not Scully, but on the other hand Mulder kissed her so he wants to kiss Scully too." But I love the end of the episode where Mulder tells her that he loves her, I love the music in this scene, the x-file theme softened by piano and played in a different key, it was gentle and beautiful. Makes me want to go home after work and watch it again. Maybe I will.

Not to interrupt the dialogue between you two, but I too am also excited for this. I'll definitely be picking up the seasonal DVD's from the library or even HMV for 20 bucks just to reacquaint myself with the show before I see the sequel. I mean, it has been a while. Ten years between the first movie and seven between the end of the series. I mean, it took ten years for STAR TREK to go from TV to movies, and it only took FIREFLY a little less than three years to make that transition.
Even though they say that it's a stand-alone, I do wish they would resolve the somewhat cliffhanger that they had in the finale. Even if it's a quick little five minute prologue that explains it away or a quick three line exposition ("Weren't you guys fugitives?";"No, we got our names cleared.";"OK."), that would be good, as opposed to just dismissing it.

I will be doing some reaquainting of my own before it gets released. Has it really been 10 years since the first movie? Wow. Funny how time flys isn't it. I think that the X-Files was the first SCI-Fi series I got into completely. I had a friend who is a Trekie and i watched a lot of the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine but I missed a lot of them. I got into SeaQuest DSV when it came out too but I was younger than when I finally discovered the X-Files. My brother and I got into them together. He has the first 2 seasons on DVD as well as 5 and 8. He is still collecting the others. We are so glad they re-released them and made them inexpensive.

When IT happened, I litterally screamed. And then I ran around the house shrieking, "Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!" All I can say in my defense is that 6 years is a long time to wait for a kiss.

I'm right there with you!
LOL! I always taped episodes off of TV. My dad was forever trying to find a blank tape for him to use for this or that. He'd hold up a tape and say, "Can I use this?"
I'd get this horrified look on my face like he'd just suggested we throw a baby out a window. I'd snatch the tape out of his hands. "Tape over my X-Files?!? Are you on smack?!?"

The more the merrier, Regina!
Yeah, I definitely want some explainations, too. Or I want them to lead into a third movie that will wrap everything up.
I just want them to save Earth and get their kid back. Is that too much to ask?

Oh, ABSOLUTELY! But it was bitter-sweet. They were together, but they didn't have their son.
And, oh yeah, we're all DOOMED!
ETS: That reunion kiss was pretty damn hot, though, right?

Here's the thing - this movie should be about Mulder and Scully getting their son back, digging up info about the invasion plan, and then, ya' know, throwing a big enough wrench in the works to force a new timetable to be set. But then, this may be a two movie deal, with the second movie arriving in 2012, just in time for the Mayan calendar to run out as a tie-in.
Course it could also be that Chris Carter is not yet aware that we weren't really impressed with his firm grip on Post-Modernism, and his using the show to push that school of thought. The fans just want it wrapped up so that they can be left with a sense of completion after devoting nine years to keeping track.
I’m never serious. Serious means something bad is about to happen.

Yes, give me some closure, some wrap up of some kind. That is all I ask for. Well, okay, I want it to be good and well written and truly X-Files as we know them.
And Yes EmpireX That reunion kiss in The Truth was hot! Its is really one of the only things I remember about the episode, I really have to go back and rewatch them. I remember screaming at the TV! And I was a little miffed that it was shot in shadow, but then again so was most of the series.
