10 Problems With The X-Files Revival Nobody Wants To Admit
9. Six Episodes Are Not Enough
The X-Files left a lot of loose ends when it went off the air, and 2008's I Want To Believe didn't exactly clear anything up - though it did pave the way for Mulder and Scully to return to the FBI.
Still, you have an alien colonization plotline. The fate of baby WIlliam. Super soldiers. The did they/didn't they, are they/aren't they relationship status of Mulder and Scully. The fate of the Lone Gunmen (revealed in the X-Files comics to still be alive, something many fans are eager to see on-screen).
Not to mention one off episodes like Home, which were open-ended and could be revisited during the revival.
That's a lot of ground to cover. A whole lot. And every little segment of the fanbase has its own idea of what the show should focus on in the six hours (minus commercial breaks) the series will air in 2016.
You can't please all the people all the time however, and the producers have a heck of a balancing act to pull off here.
