Believe it or not, if you venture into the Dork
Forest deep enough, about 3 miles beyond the Babylon 5 cave, lies
the fragrant yet miasma-covered plains of the X-Files grazing land.
What's that familiar fragrance we all know and love, you ask? Conspiracy.
For nine glorious years our homes were filled with the brilliant
story of two F.B.I. agents who embarked upon a fantastic conspiracy
laden mission: to seek the answers to the files marked with an eerie
"X" way down deep in the basement of the J. Edgar Hoover
F.B.I. building. We welcomed Mulder and Scully into our lives for
these nine years, and gladly paid the $7.50 at the box office to
see the film, "Fight the Future", but after the series
ended all we were left with were fond memories of a dream that was
so pure. No sequel! Not even a crappy prequel (which seems to be
some sort of fad these days that needs to STOP)!
What's my opinion why there are no new episodes
and no hot box office sequel? I can't figure it out either! Did
Chris Carter, the creator of the series, run out of money? Impossible.
All of my friends and I bought so many issues of The X-Files Official
Magazine and posters, pins, hats, t-shirts, even all of the seasons
on DVD. I bet we single handedly are responsible for funding the
ninth season production in its entirety (I'm pretty sure). We know
neither David Duchovny nor Gillian Anderson is working on anything
better, and even if they were, how could they resist a new script
to further the crusade of the characters they were born to play?
It's blasphemy I tell you! RISE UP! Rise up and join me and all
the other inhabitants of the Dork Forest to plead for a new X-Files
movie. Does it sound like I'm begging? I am! Please Chris Carter,
do what's right!
I am asking all of the fellow residents of the
Dork Forest to join me in the fight for our deserved follow-up to
the series, and I'm calling for all the X-Philes out there who lie
in bed at night dreaming of David Duchovny in the second season
episode entitled, "Duane Barry" in which he sported that
sexy speedo, please join me in the undying fight for a sequel to
the magnificent series that is The X-Files. It's been too long.
We need our heroic leaders to reclaim their rightful place at the
top of our pack of "philes" and guide us on our undying
quest for the truth.
But for now, I must venture back into the Dork
Forest to reside with all of my fellow philes, waiting and hoping
Chris Carter shines a dim light on our dreams and gives us what
we rightfully deserve. We return to the miasma-covered plains where
we will reside until our wishes come true, in the conspiracy cottage
of enigma. Until then, I'll just be content with my Mulder and Scully
action figures and reruns of crime solving goodness.
