  Awesome news that Fox is talking about an X-Files reboot that would include David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. I want to believe. http://t.co/RUAWSQHY7O

    Mixed feelings about this. We already know that Gillian is much happier with her new TV role and would probably not want to do the show, for now at least. Could they really rekindled the Mulder-Scully magic after all this time, or is it better to just leave well enough alone. Has there ever been a successful revival with an original cast? Doubt it. I think that ship has sailed.

      It sounds as if Mulder and Scully would be supporting characters and there would be new leads carrying the show. In essence, that’s what they tried to do in the final season with agentsJohn Doggett and Monica Reyes. It failed, but I think it’s because the show had been on for so long, but now that enough time has passed, I think there is a renewed appetite for The X-Files. I want to believe!

    I had to stop watching after the first or second season but now have all the DVDs except season 3. As soon as I can get that (preferably on DVD so I can have a complete set) it’s going back into my ‘exercise’ show queue. (Cycling through Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Season 3, Volume 2 at the moment.)

      The series has an unsatisfying ending, but the rest of the ride is well worth it.

  So much for Chris Carter's new scifi series. Amazon canned it without streaming a single episode beyond the pilot. http://t.co/gXbIzUhfpI

    The G’s. Guardians and Godzilla. Both great. I was especially surprised at how much I loved Guardians of the Galaxy. Retro music, decent action, green babes and a Snarky Racoon. What’s not to like?

    Neither Mars not Venus would be great places to live, but Venus would still be better than Mercury!
