Don't call it a reboot! Never call it a reboot.
Jeff Jensen from Entertainment Weekly had the pleasure to sit down with Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny to talk a bit about the upcoming X-Files Revival... or, should we call it "Season 10"? They even talk to Joel McHale about his excitement of being part of this great opportunity.
Among many juicy details, we get the actors' and Carter's impressions about coming back to The X-Files in the age of Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook. In a time post 9/11. With old and new fans. You also get to see a great display of pictures from set.
Likewise, you get the truth behind Scully's hair, a clue into their current relationship status and even the name of Gillian Anderson's dog.
What we truly appreciate from this article was the knowledgeable way Jensen went about this opportunity, being a fan himself of the show. You're also served with ten episodes that should prepare you for the upcoming spread of new X-Files, and a look into the items of Mulder's home office.

We, Roi and Jessa, strive to solve the most unanswerable questions here on our blog On the Verge. We start by sitting down with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir, preferably from the Sonoma Valley. We then meticulously take notes and discuss the fine details of questions proposed to us while listening to Vivaldi’s Seasons. It takes time, calculation, and a fierce desire to see the truth brought to light.
Just kidding. It usually begins with Jessa calling Roi on her way home from work, spitballing ideas, and then accidentally stumbling upon a golden revelation. Does everyone remember the Africanized honey bee/the-antithesis-of-Barry-White bee from the hallway scene from Fight the Future? We sure do. However, what we are about to tell you will turn your world unrecognizable and upside down. Yet one thing will remain the same—we will be your friends and we will tell you the truth. We will be your constant, your touchstone.
Wait, what? Click the link below to read more.

According to their article:
On an abandoned farm on the outskirts of Vancouver B.C., we found paranormal detectives Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) investigating the curious case of a possible alien abductee (played by Annet Mahendru of The Americans) at the behest of a most curious ally, the host of a conservative talk show (Community’s Joel McHale). Of course, the last time we saw our heroes (the 2008 feature film The X-Files: I Want To Believe), Mulder and Scully were out of the bizarre-adventures business. He was living on the fringe, she was a doctor working at a Catholic hospital; they were sometimes lovers who just wanted the weird world to leave them alone. Much has changed for them since then.
“Mulder’s not in a great place,” says Duchovny, looking shabby in gray tee, shoes without shoelaces, and much stubble. “He’s wearing bad jeans, so you can just extrapolate from my wardrobe. He’s in a dark, dark place.”
Scully’s looking more put-together in a skirt suit and high heels. “I like where we find Mulder and Scully in their relationship,” says Anderson, adding that she’s equally engaged by the political resonance of the story Chris Carter has conceived for the revival. “I also like the area of zeitgeist that we step in to. It’s on point and raises some very interesting issues. And question marks.
Carter — whose original series tapped into the anxious strains of 1990s culture — says the new series is inspired by new century concerns. “The X-Filesended right after 9/11,” says Carter. “A lot has happened since then. A lot of rollback of rights and liberties in the name of our protection. We’re being spied on now, we’re being lied to — all things that, for me, remind me of when I grew up, which was right around Watergate. I think we’re in similar and much more dire times right now.”
Other details included in the article confirm that Darin Morgan will pen a MOTW titled "Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Man". You can read the whole article here. And don't forget to pick up a copy, or two, from newstands on June 26th.
