Easy guide to production
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) If there is one thing The X-Files perfected during its original run, is definitely the art of the cliffhanger season finale… and I’m glad that the series is continuing that tradition. The event series started off somewhat weak, but ended strong. One of the … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) The X-Files has been a huge success for 20th Century Fox, and has impressed me that they could capture the magic of the original series in just six episodes. The biggest issue I have with the series is that there aren't more episodes, but according to series … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) The X-Files reunion tour has been an interesting ride. Returning the series to its television roots was a fantastic idea and despite a few hiccups here and there, I've been impressed by how strong the event series has been. With the fifth episode of the series, … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) The X-Files revival had a bit of a rocky start with its first two episodes, but it's been a solid steady climb. "My Struggle" tried to cram in a two-hour premiere into 44 minutes of television forcing it to shed any character development while the second episode, … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) I wanted to review both of these episodes together, rather than separately, because The X-Files have always been a two-sided coin. You have the mythology episodes, and you have the stand-alone 'monster-of-the-week' episodes. With "My Struggle", we're … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) I'm still catching up on The X-Files past episodes before the event series returns the franchise to TV in less than a month. While I'm doing that, Fox Television has gone ahead and released a 21-minute video to whet all our appetites for the return of agents … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) The X-Files built an interesting mythology based on government conspiracies and alien abductions, but a good two-thirds of the series was made up of monster-of-the-week standalone episodes. When the revival of the Fox television show was announced with a limited … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) I really wish studios would have waited two days after the Star Wars: The Force Awakens full trailer to release any new previews, because it will all pale in comparison. Well, it looks like promotion stops for no one, and we've got some new stuff today, namely … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) It's been rumored for a while now but according to one report, Annabeth Gish is set to reprise her role as FBI agent Monica Reyes in a single episode of The X-Files revival. THR had the story. Reyes was a reoccurring character in season 8 and promoted to … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) Just a week ago, Fox gave us our first peek at the upcoming The X-Files revival series premiering in January 2016. It was a quick 15 second promo but showed a surprising amount of classic The X-Files iconography and now they've followed that up with a second … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) How is it that the revival of a series I felt lost steam over its final four seasons, and premiered a film I didn't even bother watching, is somehow one of the most anticipated things I'm looking forward to? Fox just released a brief 15-second teaser for The … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) I'm terrible with dates. Which is a shame because when the official X-Files Twitter account tweeted an animated gif with the date 7-7-15, I briefly mistook it as 7-7-16, and thought that Fox had given the green light to a second The X-Files event season. I hyped … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) One of the biggest surprises of the year was Fox's announcement that they were pursuing The X-Files revival series which, frankly, seemed to come out of nowhere. The films based on the influential series were pretty lackluster, and I still have yet to see 2008's … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) The truth is out there, and I want to believe that The X-Files revival will be answering at least some questions left over from the 2002 season finale. The biggest question of all is how they will deal with the massive alien invasion that was set to happen on … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) The X-Files was a fantastic television series that never translated well to the big screen, so I was more than excited to see it return to the small screen. I admit I lost interest in the series about two-thirds the way through its nine seasons, was really let down … [Read more...]
By Danny F. Santos (doddleNEWS) I'm having a very weird reaction to The X-Files revival, in that I'm really looking forward to it. I stopped watching the original series around the 6th season, and had no interest in watching the last movie, 2008's The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and yet the idea … [Read more...]
