yeah, but i'm feverish to see some photos! all we've had is his odd twitter posts to follow over the years.

 

Sorry, I took your post to mean "Will Skinner be back?" rather than "I want to see screenshots with Skinner".

 

This reminds me, I used to have an X-Files game for PlayStation 1 many moons ago and it was a pretty fun but difficult game. For the time we thought the graphics on it were awesome.

 

Not in Canada

 

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

Maybe later

 

And here's a shot from the set this week in Vancouver, where "Agent Scully" is running down a hallway and she has a 4K Blackmagic camera strapped to her chest for a POV shot...



This is not color-corrected, and I would hope she looks a bit more glamorous in the actual show.

 

Something is going to drop on 7/7/15. The X-Files official Facebook page posted the date with no explanation whatsoever.

Went on Netflix the other night and watched an episode we missed "Sunshine Days" in season 9 that had the Brady Bunch set. Interesting episode, my wife and I both enjoyed it.

 

Hoping for a blu-ray announcement but will probably just end up being a teaser trailer.

 

Given the light-hearted and generally silly nature of that episode, I think it should've been placed earlier in the season... it doesn't feel at all like a "second-last episode" for such an epic series.

 

July 07 is Ringo's 75th birthday. I bet the cast will release a video congratulating him

 

that entire last season is such a mess. that episode feels like it belongs back in season 6 or 7.

 

I might have to revisit season 9. I remember next to nothing about it. I don't remember the "Sunshine Days" episode.

 

Yeah, I don't remember much from season 9 for some reason we are going back and watching it on Neflix. Also catching up on Season 2 of Fringe, missed that for some reason but saw the rest.

The elaborate The Brady Bunch house set featured in the episode was built completely by the production crew, according to series co-star Gillian Anderson. She recounts the fact that, due to the original set having been long ago disassembled, people came "from all over Los Angeles" to get their pictures taken on the set.[5] Anderson, who was a fan of popular sitcoms made by Sherwood Schwartz, like Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch, called the experience "wild".



I thought the lighting for the episode was off. Much too dark but then again this is the X-Files.

 

I'd be willing to bet that the dark lighting was to obscure the fact that it wasn't the original Brady Brunch set but a reproduction. Fully lit up it would probably be easier to spot the differences and inconsistencies.

 

It's one of the better season 9 episodes. Actually a lot of season nine was pretty good just overlooked because DD wasn't on the show.

 

and didn't most of the scenes take place at night? it jibed.

 

The Lone Gunmen are coming back!
Edit. I tried to copy and paste the article but all I got was the picture. Dean Haglund has tweeted that they are coming back to the series, according to TVLine.

 

Hmm, I foresee a large part of the new season being devoted to explaining how come the Cigarette-Smoking Man and the Gunmen are still alive...

 

The Gunmen's re-emergence was explained in the "Season 10" comics series.
The CSM, on the other hand, is still a mystery... unless he's a ghost in the new season, or is seen exclusively in flashbacks, I have no idea how they'll incorporate him into the show.

 

No idea they were bringing the Gunmen back that's cool. If you don't mind explain how they returned but Spoiler the message in case others don't want to know. I enjoyed their series too it was pretty good.

 

Bringing back The Lone Gunmen and Cigarette Smoking Man (outside of flashbacks) is really dumb, in my opinion. I know it's The X-Files, but both deaths were very definitive and it cheapens them to be brought back from the dead anyways.
