In case you missed it, last Sunday a new episode of The X-Files aired on FOX. For us here at XFN, and perhaps to you as well, this was a Very Big Deal. It’s been a long time since a brand new episode of The X-Files aired on television. A very long time actually. “The Truth Parts One and Two” - the final episodes of season nine - first aired on May 19th, 2002. That made it 13 years, 8 months and 6 days between that episode and the first airing of “My Struggle”, the first episode of season 10. An incredible 4,999 days in total. That’s a long time to wait, and while we Philes may have sat patiently waiting for the return of Mulder and Scully to the small screen, the world has marched onwards. People have been born (perhaps you’re one of them) and died. Wars have been fought, discoveries made, and much, much more. To help put things into perspective, I rounded up a list of just some of the things that have happened in those nearly 5000 days since we watched Mulder and Scully spoon up on a motel bed in Roswell. Fair warning: this post will make you feel old!
On Monday, January 25th, David Duchovny received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The short ceremony featured Chris Carter, and David's friend Gary Shandling (from "Hollywood A.D.") as speakers. You can watch the full ceremony below, and be sure to check out the photos of the event after the jump!

It's FanArt Wednesday again! This week’s chosen artist is Chris Pendergraft from San Francisco Bay. You can connect with Chris on DeviantArt and Instagram.
Here's a little about Chris:
1. When did you become an X-Phile?
In the 1990s I lived in an artist colony in Oakland called The Vulcan Foundry Studios. We had no cable in the building and on Sundays we would all assemble around the TVs that could get broadcast and we watched The X-Files like church every Sunday night.
