  • Transcript of the Truth Is out There
    1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about how we create them and why we suspend our disbelief. I’m Eric Molinsky. There are two ways to go when extending a franchise – reboots, or revivals. I’m a sucker for the picking up where we left off – even if it doesn’t work a lot of the time because after so many years, the actors can’t relate to their characters anymore or the zeitgeist has moved on. But I just love the idea that these fictional characters are still going about their lives even while we’re not watching them. And so I will tune in with cautious optimism when The X-Files resumes for a limited run this winter. CLIP: X-FILES At its height, The X-Files averaged 20 million viewers a week – a huge number even before TV got fractured. I was so obsessed with the show, I had action figures of Mulder and Scully on my windowsill, donning little FBI badges, plastic guns and flashlights. In case you never watched the show -- Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were FBI agents assigned to paranormal cases. They were also on an epic quest to unravel a conspiracy between aliens and a small group of powerful men that were quietly preparing the human race for colonization. Mulder was believed in every supernatural phenomenon. Scully was the skeptic. But I wasn’t a fan to the end. David Duchovny left after seven seasons, and I thought they should’ve wrapped it up but they kept going with new actors.

  • Art of the X-Files
    On May 19th 2013, fans of The X-Files were given a rare treat; a chance to spend time with the minds behind the art of The X-Files. The event, held at the iconic Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles, and celebrated by the Art Directors Guild Film Society, the American Cinematheque, and The Hollywood Reporter, brought together production designer Corey Kaplan (The X-Files, Scandal, Cold Case, Robbery Homicide Division), writer-producer-director Vince Gilligan (The X-Files, Breaking Bad, The Lone Gunmen, Harsh Realm) and Creator-Writer-Producer-Director Chris Carter (The X-Files, Harsh Realm, Millennium, The Lone Gunmen). Moderated by production designer John Muto (Home Alone, River’s Edge, Terminator 2 3-D), the event presented the art and design of The X-Files by screening “Je Souhaite” and “Triangle” and included a panel discussion. What made this event unique is that as a television viewing audience, we often celebrate and obsess over actors, and at times writers and producers. We become deeply connected to the characters and to the story of the hardships they face. However, the world that is created by the Art Department under the guidance of the Production Designer often goes unmentioned. This is likely due to the ability of the visual medium to submerse the viewer into an environment so compelling that we momentarily suspend belief. We forget the complexities of set design and construction, of picking out the right costumes and maintaining outfit continuity, of choosing makeup that both enhances the character yet seems realistic, of creating convincing special effects, and the arduous search for the perfect location.

  • Citas X-Files Paper Esse
    Oblique Politics: The Conspiracy Theory at the Heart of The X-Files Sara Martín, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Seminar “Popular Narratives and Contemporary Worlds” 7th Conference European Society for the Study of English (ESSE) Universidad de Zaragoza 2004 Along 9 seasons (1993-2002) The X-Files has charmed its audience with a convoluted narrative dealing with the efforts of plucky FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully to unmask a vast conspiracy. This will result in the invasion of planet Earth in the year 2012 by extraterrestrial aliens of unknown origin. This serial within the series, which spans about one third of The X-Files and was dubbed the ‘mythology’ by producer Chris Carter, reached thus a devastating end. The hero and his partner were left stranded outside the already infiltrated FBI, resigned to facing the future only with the dimmest hope that they might resist the aliens’ plans. The ‘mythology’ is a classic conspiracy theory narrative and, as such, it unfolds imitating strip-tease dancers, slowly unveiling for the heroes’ and the audience’s benefit the ‘truth’ behind the gargantuan lies. As happens in all narratives of this subgenre, the hero begins a quest soon stumbling upon obstacles that make him doubt the steps taken so far and even the very reason for his quest –only to hit on a much larger, sinister truth. Thus, convinced that his little sister Samantha was abducted by extraterrestrials, Mulder discovers with Scully’s help that she’s part of a project begun in 1947 when contact was made with the aliens that crashed-landed in Roswell.

  • World's Child by Xanthe Story Notes
    World's Child by Xanthe Story Notes: Books 1&2, translated by Wen Qing Books 3&4, translated by Ellen Zak Dedication: This is my personal homage to The X Files now that the show is over. I think it's also the last time I'll ever try and make sense of canon! I wanted to draw in lots of elements that I loved from the show and give it a fitting farewell. It's first and foremost a post-colonisation story, but it has a strong genfic element too, concerning William. It's very much a slash love story about Mulder and Skinner, but there are also allusions to MSR, a little Doggett/Reyes romance, and even a very small smidgeon of Marita/Alex interaction. The Lone Gunmen, CSM, Samantha Mulder, Luke Doggett, Emily - they're all in this story. I tried to make sense of the 9 seasons of The X Files, to draw together as much of canon as I could, particularly focussing on Season 9 eps like William, and The Truth to produce something that made some sense of my viewing experience, and also, hopefully, to do justice to the many characters I came to love during those 9 years. Yes, the show declined in its later seasons and I'm left feeling it could have been so much more than it was, but, like the girl in the nursery rhyme, when it was good, it was *very*, *very* good. Thank you: To Phoebe first and foremost for the most fantastic, wonderful, helpful and insightful beta.
