The X-Files: 16 Things We Need to See in Fox's Revival
Skinner
C’mere, you big, bald, beautiful man. We want to know what you’ve been up to for the past 13 years.
An update on William
Mulder and Scully must want to know what happened to the son they gave up for adoption, right?
Mulder’s fishtank
But not because Scully is feeding them in his absence. That would be bad for the fish (and us). On a related note…
Mulder and Scully in every single episode
Because splitting them up leads to bad things (see also: Season 9).
Scully’s mom
We want to believe that the inherently good Margaret Scully lives!
Mulder’s ‘I Want to Believe’ poster
Iconic!
Sunflower seeds
On a food-related note, if there’s an iced tea in that bag, it could be love.
Mulder and Scully yelling each other’s names
Preferably in the dark, preferably while their flashlight beams bob all over the place.
Mulder-Scully sex
Remember way back, when David Duchovny said there was an egregious shot of his tush that was cut from the first movie? Yeah, we’ll take that, too.
Doggett and Reyes
Just kiddding.
Healthy Scully
Because how many abductions, neck implants, cancer bouts, infertility issues and bloody psychic surgeries can one woman stand? (Don’t answer that, Chris Carter.)
Mulder in peril
Call us sadists, but we think a little MulderTorture would bring joy to you and me. (Chorus.)
A really gross monster or two
We’re not choosy. Anything along the lines of Flukeman, Mrs. Peacock or Tooms will do.
Old theme song, new opening credits
Those graphics looked old in 1993. Refresh! But that eerie theme tune is so perfect as-is, it’s almost… spooky.
Road trip!
Put our favorite pair back in familiar territory by sticking them in the car. We’re reasonably sure Scully’s little legs can reach the pedals.
“Mulder, it’s me.”
It just won’t be The X-Files unless we hear Scully’s standard greeting. (Requisite nostalgia note: Look at the size of those phones!)
