Étiquette : Chris Carter

Please don’t think I am rude, I’m not meaning to be. Just wondering why all these bloggers who keep coming out with stuff about Chris Carter, (who created the best sci fi show ever in my view) criticizing season 10, pulling the episodes apart non stop. Why don’t they boycott season 11? I have been a X Fan since it started, not really big on MSR. I think it was done spot on in the 90’s. I was never expecting season 10 to be as good but I it enjoyed nonetheless. If people arent happy….1/2

2/2 …If they are not happy with how season 10 went, why bother watching Season 11. To me MSR/Gillovny fans just want romance and love. It is a sci fi show first and foremost. I have seen ‘don’t let Chris Carter near the writing desk’. How disrespectful is that. Then someone has set up a petition to Fox to try and ensure David writes an episode. Since when did Gillovny/MSR think they had the right to dictate to CC & Co. I think they forget the show has die hard sci fans watching too. Not good.

Okay, first of all, where’s this petition? I want to sign it with my blood.

Then, season 10 wasn’t “good”. There was 2 episodes and a half that were actually good, in my opinion (and not only), but you have the right to disagree. It’s subjective after all. I did enjoy it though, at this point, I would have enjoyed pretty much anything. But it’s not the same now, our thirst for more episodes was quenched, so he has to do it right this time for us to fully enjoy it. 

What I think is that Chris Carter is just not able to keep writing this show in 2017. He has created it, he’ll always own it, and this fandom we’ll be eternally grateful to him for that, but it’s time for him and for us to move on. It’s not the 90′s anymore, time has passed, tv has changed, the way we write series too, but Chris Carter seem stuck in his old-fashioned way of seeing things, and his stuborness to keep going against what the fans ask is more than annoying. 

You have the right to see it as a sci-fi show, I guess it is, I love the monsters, I love (most of) the mythology, but to me it’s more than a sci-fi show. It’s the best love story on television ever. Of all time. You have the right to think shippers don’t understand the show and have no rights to criticize Chris Carter, but do you know what shippers want? One real kiss. In plain light. (And all the outakes for the sake of Gillovny shippers too). Do you really think it is too much to ask? In 25 years? Because I guess Chris Carter does think it is, and it is beyond my comprehension. You can have all the aliens and stem cells you want, but just allow all the shippers of this planet to have a decent development of the characters Chris Carter has created, and a closure that would please us. I think we deserve it. 

You enjoyed the Revival, good for you. But don’t forget there’s a whole side of the fandom, living and breathing right next to you, who has just been suffering for the last 25 years, and had to endure Chris Carter’s decision to cut Mulder’s kiss on Scully’s CHEEK after 10 years of nothingness. 

It’s enough. 

What network, writer, showrunner listen to the fans?? Almost in every show, there are some parts od the fandom where ppl complain about everything and hate producer, even much more than xfiles fans hate CC. You sound extremely naive if you think that way. More, FOX would never do more xfiles without CC (they depending on each other) and they only give him money. His company produce the series, employ staff. FOX was enough excited about rankings. For the network only this matter.

If Network don’t listen to fans (they do!), they can also listen to press, they can accept the critics and work to fix the problems raised by both fans, viewers and journalists. They have nothing to win to go against popular opinion. 

I’ve never said Fox should ditch Chris Carter, but maybe that they’ll minimize his role in the writing process. In a world where we have Game of Thrones, Scandal, Grey’s anatomy, Westworld, or Big little lies, they must know that Chris’ way of writing series, without using a bible, purposefully ignoring what fans claim for years, forgetting who and what his characters are and did, and using cliché after cliché about populations, cities, politics and more, can’t make it anymore. So I’m hoping he’ll keep producing, and giving directions, and let others, old writers and fresh blood, do the writing ten times better than he can.
