Speaking to Indiewire about the revival, Carter said the reason he’d hired from the same pool he’d originally worked with for season 10 was partly because he didn’t want to “take a chance” that the veteran writers might have to “recover a script” if a new writer wasn’t able to capture the tone of the original series: “If it’s not there to begin with, it’s very hard to manufacture quality.”
It’s tough to say whether Carter’s response to the criticism is a result of genuine unawareness or something else entirely, but one thing The X-Files could undoubtedly use for season 11 is some fresh blood—or at the very least, some fresh ideas.
