X-Files reboot

Doesn't matter if the cast is diverse, if the writing is good I'll watch it.

I just have 0 faith that they can put together a proper writing team together that can do the original any justice at all.

My guess is it will try and lean very heavy into some kind of conspiracy arc as I think thats easy to do with only so so writting provided the production generally is of high quality.

People point to the X-files birthing that kind of TV but for me its actually more an example of 80's/90's style sci fi were shows had strong one off episodes and a lot of diversity of tone which needed a lot of great writters as the original had.
 
Sigh. There's not a single original idea left anywhere? Just going to dip into the remake pool again and again, hm? Sad.
Yea, they should finally makle a remake of Alf and that wonderful genie show with that blonde chic.

I feel like whenever they see a dip in revenues they haul out the TV guide from 1979 or some shit and open it to a random page. There, that's the next one--Diff'rent Strokes giggity, yeah with an all gay cast--brilliant! :p

In the lounge thread @Cajun posted about someone who appeared on Magnum PI and when I looked it up out of curiosity, sure enough, there's a remake of it on now. Ugh.

Yea, it's easy and cheap to just recycle that old shit. Capitalism 1,2,3.

But at least in the Magnum PI remake there's a pretty hot actress . . . :)
 
Was the recent reboot/reunion with the original cast even successful? Seems like it kinda just came and went, without much fanfare.
 
I'd probably watch as long as its not too far out of control. I love me some aliens.
 
Now we are going to see more social cues like in the pilot to The Lone Gunman
