   I'm not sure how they are planning to do things but I get   
   the impression that the 6-episodes thing is somewhat more of   
   a trial balloon. They seem to be open to doing more episodes   
   it's just that they (Gillian Anderson and particularly David   
   Duchovny) don't want to do 20+ episode seasons. We might see   
   a series of mini-series so to speak.   
      
   I would also imagine that they are trying to bring in new   
   fans and not just the people who watched the show 15-20   
   years ago or more. It will be hard to do this jumping into   
   the middle of a complicated alien conspiracy. Besides, the   
   X-Files just wouldn't be the same without the standalone   
   episodes. The variety of story drops to one, there's little   
   opportunity for comic relief, etc. But here's what David   
   Duchovny had to say about it:
