Chris Carter discusses the new season of #thexfiles and the series potential future without Gillian Anderson
I know it’s hard to imagine future seasons of +The X-Files without Scully, after all season 8 only had Mulder in the second half of the season and season 9 only for the final episode, and these two seasons are generally considered the weakest of the lot.
Of course Gillian could always change her mind but given the press coverage her announcement to call it quits has had, it’s safe to assume this is it for her for the foreseeable future. So could the show survive either with Mulder alone, or with a new team altogether?
The new team is unlikely, I’m pretty confident in saying that Miller and Einstein didn’t woo the audience that way last season and their resemblance in character to Mulder and Scully are just too much to sustain enough interest, I think. So that leaves Mulder on his own, or with a new partner? And if so who? Skinner? William? Someone new altogether who will likely struggle to fill in Gillian’s shoes?
Now for the controversial bit.
I’ve had a hard time adjusting to Gillian’s performance as Scully those past two seasons. She’s been feeling really quite different from how I was used to, up until I Want To Believe. I couldn’t really say what it is exactly but perhaps it is time to let Scully go and move on to someone new.
Either way I’ll always be glad for seasons 10 and 11 which I never dreamt we’d ever get, if we don’t get anything more after this season.

Aliens should abduct this couple and let them know about the true alien kingdom.
I LIKE U GUY'S.
I wish she be in CALIFORNICATION
That looks pretty much like "it is over guys". Anderson doesn't enjoy the show anymore and you can feel it through her performance on screen and I bet Duchovny would be ready to play anything just to be on a show (successful or not). I love these characters but be honest, the actors behind them are pretty tired. I was looking forward to new episodes with a new spirit and some clever writing (boldness?) but that is clearly not possible with main characters who don't believe in what they are doing anymore and a director/writer who obviously gave everything he had in the original series (s01 to 07).
I will enjoy the last 5 episodes of the X-Files and maybe wait for a reboot ten years from now but I think it is time to say goodbye to "the X-Files the Original Series".
I'd hate the idea of this show becoming a bad caricature of itself. It's too bad Millenium or Lone Gunmen ever got any traction. Better to leave the mystique of the original characters the way they are and have the greater story be told in some other way.
I heard about the new series gonna catch up
The writers can compensate. Will miss mademoiselle X of U.K.
I don't want to think about it without her, it wouldn't be the same.
مساء الخير
Thanks
I only watched the show from the beginning because of Gillian Anderson. If she goes I have no interest in it anymore. It was rediculous she had to fight for equal pay when they brought back the show.
I love x files solving cases and all the characters are just awesome
