   From: darth_azrael@nospam.yahoo.com   
      
   On an abandoned farm on the outskirts of Vancouver B.C., we   
   found paranormal detectives Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana   
   Scully (Anderson) investigating the curious case of a   
   possible alien abductee (played by Annet Mahendru of The   
   Americans) at the behest of a most curious ally, the host of   
   a conservative talk show (Community's Joel McHale). Of   
   course, the last time we saw our heroes (the 2008 feature   
   film The X-Files: I Want To Believe), Mulder and Scully were   
   out of the bizarre-adventures business. He was living on the   
   fringe, she was a doctor working at a Catholic hospital;   
   they were sometimes lovers who just wanted the weird world   
   to leave them alone. Much has changed for them since then.   
      
   "Mulder's not in a great place," says Duchovny, looking   
   shabby in gray tee, shoes without shoelaces, and much   
   stubble. "He's wearing bad jeans, so you can just   
   extrapolate from my wardrobe. He's in a dark, dark place."   
      
   Scully's looking more put-together in a skirt suit and high   
   heels. "I like where we find Mulder and Scully in their   
   relationship," says Anderson, adding that she's equally   
   engaged by the political resonance of the story Chris Carter   
   has conceived for the revival. "I also like the area of   
   zeitgeist that we step in to. It's on point and raises some   
   very interesting issues. And question marks."   
      
   Carter -- whose original series tapped into the anxious   
   strains of 1990s culture -- says the new series is inspired   
   by new century concerns. "The X-Files ended right after   
   9/11," says Carter. "A lot has happened since then. A lot of   
   rollback of rights and liberties in the name of our   
   protection. We're being spied on now, we're being lied to --   
   all things that, for me, remind me of when I grew up, which   
   was right around Watergate. I think we're in similar and   
   much more dire times right now."   
      
   The new X-Files isn't all scary political allegory. In   
   addition to a hot take on the show's conspiracy mythology,   
   fans will get monster-of-the-week episodes from Carter and   
   three other key writers from the original series, James   
   Wong, Glen Morgan, and Darin Morgan, whose inspired,   
   idiosyncratic scripts from back in the day ("Clyde   
   Bruckman's Final Repose"; "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'")   
   earned him a cult following. The title of his revival   
   offering: "Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Man." And sorry,   
   internet, but you're wrong: The second episode, entitled   
   "Home Again," won't be a sequel to the infamously queasy   
   horror opus "Home," a lunatic love story about deformed,   
   inbred children and the limbless mother they keep under   
   their bed.   
      
   While you can expect to see some old faces (including Mitch   
   Pileggi as FBI boss Skinner and William B. Davis as the   
   nefarious Cigarette Smoking Man), don't expect to see the   
   same old monsters. "We're not going to reboot any of the old   
   favorites, although it was something we all thought about,"   
   says Carter. "These are all brand new stories. We hope to   
   scare you in brand new ways."
