For years, The X-Files has trawled the dark, weird world of conspiracy theories for stories -- but its latest comic is going to be tackling one of the biggest and wildest slate of theories in the world: The conspiracies surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963.
Fans hoping for a little more Mulder and Scully to go along with the recent TV return are in luck. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny lead a laundry list of X-Files cast members who are lending their voices to a brand new audio book.
I wanted to believe it'd be different, but that's not what happened last night.
The X-Files revival didn't get off to a promising start two weeks ago, but if the disappointing premiere scared you off, it's time to come back. Last night's episode, "Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster," was the series at its best.
It's easy to sneer at Hollywood's obsession with sequels and reboots, but eventually, the dice rolls in your direction. One person's cynicism is another's nostalgia. For me, it's The X-Files, a show that defined my childhood. Last night was a big deal -- The X-Files was back. It kinda sucked, and I definitely don't care.
Like many of you, I've been making my way through The X-Files over the last several months in anticipation of the new six-episode revival later this month. And this week I came upon an episode in season 7 written by acclaimed author William Gibson, "First Person Shooter," about a VR video game. It might be the best episode of the whole series.
