Let’s get real, the minute that you learned that The X-Files were coming back, you had that instant pang to rewatch the whole series. Out of nostalgia or just to get ready for the awesomeness that’s to come.
That feeling comes with either a sense of excitement that makes your heart skip more than one beat or, you know I’m being honest, a groan… because two hundred and two episodes, and two movies, don’t go by too fast. At an average of forty-three minutes per episode and movies around the 120 minute mark, you’re going to be watching 8,926 minutes, or approximately 149 hours, of awesome, heart-wrenching storytelling.
So this is how I found myself persuading a cohort of mine on Twitter to watch The X-Files for the first time, promising to deliver her a guide of sorts, of what to do whenever she gets assaulted by “the feels”. Aside getting yourself a re-watch buddy so you have a hand to hold, instructing your dog to understand irrational gasping and sobbing, and convincing your cat that if you put your fist through a wall this is not cause to attack you… food is the next best thing to deal with the emotional onslaught.

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.
