Teenage Mulder And Scully Will Star In A New X-Files Series

The X-Files returned for six-episodes in a season labeled as a “revival” but after it was all said and done, we are left with a cliffhanger. But, with the alien craft shining a spotlight, we zoom in to Scully’s eye and the hour cuts to black.

As a sickened Mulder attempts to track down “the truth”, Scully tries to piece together the science with the help of a tip from Agent Monica Reyes, a blast from the past who has a surprising story of her own.

But if this means that desperate The X-Files fans will have something more to pore over while lamenting the lackluster revival season, all the power to them. These first two entries of what might become an ongoing series will bring a whole new chapter to this saga, which was most recently continued in Fox’s The X-Files event series.

When she arrives, she discovers Tad standing in the middle of the scruffy apartment, which looks even more disheveled than usual.

In the new series, the theory is that it’s only the humans who want to enslave the world and that they only stole technology from the aliens to accomplish their goal.

Meanwhile, Miller has found Mulder by tracking his phone and he drags Mulder out of the house and into the vehicle and drives off. While drawing Scully’s blood, Einstein is starting to show signs of being sick as well so Scully has to work fast. She races outside the hospital where the world’s most genteel riot is just starting to break out, and takes off in a vehicle to find Mulder and Miller. And, luckily for them, it seems they already have a back-up plan in place. Einstein is beginning to fall ill when Scully finally digs into a sample that reveals the alien DNA in her body. He offered to spare Reyes in exchange for her assistance.

As Mulder’s poster famously reads, “I want to believe”.

Mulder is still at CSM’s house and he is looking worse and worse as the minutes go by and Tad, who is still broadcasting, it also looking pretty sick himself. She also says that the Cigarette Smoking Man cares deeply for Mulder, and he sent someone to fetch him. Mulder is so weak that he can’t even hold a gun on the Cigarette Smoking Man before passing out on the ground. Even with having been led by Mulder on 9 seasons worth of paranormal adventures prior, it feels unnatural for Scully to so easily lean on aliens as the quick answer to such a serious threat, to the point that I actually preferred Agent Einstein this time around.

Despite the seeming chaos, she’s able to reach them with the minimum of traffic problems. Not to mention her recently discovered “DNA abnormalities” – aka “alien DNA”. Scully and Einstein are talking about how to reverse this virus without using Scully’s DNA because they can’t find it in her DNA now.

“This Is The End” is the ominous title card that finished the usual opening credits, and if this really, truly is the end for The X-Files, then it goes out not with a bang, but with the sort of whimper you might hear after sitting on a rubber chicken. Now we can just imagine Chris Carter coming up with a prequel of The X-Files new stories for TV with much younger stars. Why did we get so little of Skinner? The fight scene plays out like some vaguely engaging variation on the kind of brawl one would find in either the Bourne or Raid franchises, which simply doesn’t fit with our knowledge of Mulder. Will Mulder and Scully be reunited with William? Stay tuned for more.
