The End of The X-Files

fonixmunkee writes "CNN is running this story that says the cult TV classic, "The X-Files," shall be no longer after this season. I have been a huge fan of this show since it started in '93, so I'm quite saddened by it's projected departure." The story originally showed up in Daily Variety, saying that Chris Carter wants to move on to other projects.

The movie was the real turning point.
I didn't see it for quite a while after it was release on home video. And well, seeing it only confirmed what most X-files freaks already told me. It sucked, and the rest of the series seemed to suffer soon thereafter.

X-Files has gone downhill

The series really started to get worse several seasons ago. There has been more of a shift from drama to comedy.
I now prefer to watch Alias, which has the same time slot and is much better show.

Type Cast? And its "Duchovny".
He actually plays remarkably different roles in his movies for examole:

Kalifornia

Playing God

Return To Me

Evolution - ok, so he was an FBI agent, that doesnt mean with one other "FBI" role he was type cast. This was dramatically different, since it was a COMEDY and obviously he was chosen to make fun of his serious FBI role on X-files

Zoolander

David D. got married and demanded that the show move to California so that he could be close to his wife.

Fox asked Chris Carter to move the show to LA. The tax breaks in Canada were reduced, so the cost per episode ended up being the same in both locations (since they were still flying a lot of the actors up from L.A.) David Duchovny mentioned that he'd support the move so he could be closer to his wife, and that's what the media jumped on. We shouldn't blame David Duchovny for something that wasn't his decision.
