Aliens, please abduct Chris Carter. Review by Brandon Wolfe One of the greatest pitfalls of our current recycle-bin culture is that some of the nostalgic curios being dusted off almost certainly belong dead, and The X-Files has sadly proved emblematic of this hazard. The idea of Mulder and Scully returning once more into the paranormal fray sounds fantastic at first blush until you stop to recall that The X-Files has already died a series of ignoble deaths. There was the slow decline of the original series’ run into a morass of wheezy misguidedness. There was the second feature film, quite possibly the most stillborn attempt at franchise resuscitation ever endeavored. And now, as this current six-episode revival comes to a close, it’s hard to argue against the notion that The X-Files is the bolt of lightning that is never going back into that jar. It’s far too damaged, too hopelessly ungainly and exhausted to endure as it currently stands. The truth is out of gas. The problem,

Creator Chris Carter and stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson use " Re-Opened " to preview how the series has changed as well as offer a first look at the franchise's new characters. With Fox's The X-Files revival premiere less than a month away, the network is kicking into high gear with its marketing campaign. On Monday, Fox released "Re-Opened," a 21-minute behind-the-scenes feature that offers what it declares is the "inside story" on the beloved franchise's return. In the clip, creator Chris Carter as well as stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson take a look at the reasons behind the revival and spill secrets from the show's new central story. The clip also offers a first look at the resurrected Lone Gunmen, Scully's son as well as Joel McHale's Tad O'Malley and Annet Mahendru's Sveta. The X-Files event series premieres Jan. 24 on Fox.

The miniseries picks up with David Duchovny 's Mulder and Gillian Anderson 's Scully in very different places in their lives, but still committed to finding the truth behind the big conspiracies that have plagued them. But there’s also time to investigate other mysteries, too... And yes, there are definitely going to be appearances by old favourites such as William B. Davis' Cigarette Smoking Man, despite his seeming death by giant bloomin’ missile in the series finale back in 2002. And the likes of Mitch Pileggi, Annabeth Gish, Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, Bruce Harwood and Nicholas Lea are all back in some fashion. Mostly it seems like everyone is a bit more beardy. Well, not Scully. Watch the trailer after the Jump... Joel McHale, Lauren Ambrose, Robbie Amell and Rhys Darby are among the new co-stars, Chris Carter is at the controls as always, and The X-Files is back, at least on US screens, on January 24 next year.
