Q: You returned to “The X-Files” last year. How was that experience, and is there talk of doing more of those?
David: We’re talking about doing more of those soon. The experience was strange at first to go back to something that I’d started, at the time, over 20 years ago, and I hadn’t done for seven or eight years. But since I had done that character for so long, it was really simple to find it again. But it was also an interesting challenge, because it was playing a guy who’s older, and maybe character doesn’t change, but we change a little bit — our energy changes as we age. Our maturity changes. So it was interesting to try to bring that to the guy.
I’m writing this while I’m still on a David high…last night was so good and I still cannot believe I finally saw David in person. First off, a few personal notes. One, my outfit was a success. Second, stopping at Powell’s and finally purchasing Bucky F*cking Dent was the best decision of the day (more on that later).
-When David came out on stage for the sound check it was one of those moments when the breath was just taken out of my lungs and my heart started beating very quickly.
–Here are my initial reactions to David in person. Yeah. It was a lot. And yeah. He smells like a very good man.
-He is so handsome. I have heard from so many people that this is true (that he’s way more handsome in person than he is in photos) and today I saw it for myself. Indeed. He is, honestly, hot. So hot. It was the #1 thought running through my mind on my hour drive home.
“The X-Files” came back for six uneven episodes last year, and there have been hints there may be yet another reboot, likely a miniseries.
“Very possible,” says Duchovny. “At this point it looks good, but I don’t have anything specific to tell you. But we’re all kind of crouching.”
Duchovny says he had mixed feelings about the 2016 return. “I was happy to come back and do it,” he says, “and there were some episodes that worked better than others, but I thought that six was too few. We had to find too much ground to make up, too much backstory to tell and then it ended up there wasn’t enough [story] left to do. So, I feel like the next time if we did it, we’d do more episodes. Certainly never 22 again, but more than six. It’d be a better story to tell.”
We can always talk about XF, I need season 11 because I need a closure. I feel like it’ll be the last one, so I need an ending I can live with, knowing these characters are happy and at peace. I can’t say I liked season 10, but if they’re going to make a revival, they have to do it right and not end it on a cliffhanger because we all know if we don’t get a season 11 now, it’ll never happen again.
Also, I want season 11 for all the bts, the set reports, the interviews and the fuckery.
