Default X-Files

So I might be the only geek on these here boards to have seen
every X-Files episode, but hopefully there are a few other fans out there.
It started out very episodic, with Mulder and Scully taking on a different
supernatural creature in each episode always offering a precarious
balance between science and mysticism, until that started getting
a little old and they decided to build up an immense and convoluted
alien mythology which is hard to wrap your head around even if you've
seen every episode. Besides the mindfuck conspiracy theory plot
which obviously appeals to geeks like me, there's also the awesome
character dynamics between Mulder and Scully which brings a lot
of subtle humor into the show, add to that one of the best casts
a tv show has ever seen, and you have an obvious classic.

The reason I bring it up is because a new X-Files movie has more or less
been announced, which sounds like a wet dream to those of us who
have been blue ballin it since the show's cliffhanger ending.

Unfortunately, apparently the plot isn't going to deal with the alien mythology.
Seeing as how the show ended with the world being on the verge of an alien
take-over, I'm not really sure how the hell they'll pull that off.
Also, the movie apparently deals with William, Scully's son who was basically
made out to be good ol' JC reincarnated, so Scully and Mulder might not even be in it.
Add to this the fact that the other X-Files movie was pretty miserable,
and I'm very skeptical despite my obsession with this show.

Well, that's all I've got to say. Any other X-Philes out there?
Holla.
