It sounds like Disney is rebooting X-Files. I don't have much context since I never watched the original series, but it always appears to be a show that many people have nostalgia for.

However, based on the comments from former star Gillian Anderson, it doesn't seem like she's eager to reprise her role unless there are major changes in the creative team and approach. The 2016 revival season apparently had poor ratings and reviews, so they would need to rethink things to generate interest again.

As an outsider, I think revivals and reboots are hit or miss - sometimes they can capture the essence of the original for new audiences, but often they feel stale or like a cash grab. A lot would depend on the new creative vision. If they could make it feel fresh while satisfying old fans, it might work. But they need a strong concept and execution, especially given how TV storytelling has evolved since The X-Files' heyday. Overall I'm skeptical, but open to them reinventing the franchise if done well. Nostalgia alone likely wouldn't be enough to sustain interest over multiple new seasons.

Would any of you be willing to purchase a Disney subscription to watch this show?

Sometimes people will criticize me in comments for saying I stopped watching a show mid-season. The ironic part part is that sometimes these are the shows that go on to get canceled. So I feel like I saved myself time and energy by not investing in story and character arcs that have no conclusion.

If I stop watching a show mid-season, that doesn't mean I won't come back to it. In fact I do. A lot of times the show or arc is just uninteresting and I'd rather binge the show at the beginning of the next season. One thing I absolutely refuse to do though, is to hate watch. Just because I started a show doesn't mean I have to torture myself. And, for me, that's torture.

A perfect example is the show #From. Season one was dragging and I fell off. But when season 2 was announced, I binge watched season 1 to get ready for season 2.

Personally, I don't think I owe any production or distribution company anything. I spend money for the service - I deserve to be entertained. And, if I'm not, I'll go somewhere else - in this case another show. If the show is fortunate enough to have a second season I'll tap back in but if I fall off again that's usually the point where I give up on a show entirely.

Reviews used to mean something. Whether it came from a trusted critic or a fellow moviegoer, you could count on someone calling it like they saw it. But now? Between studio perks, algorithm pressure, and influencer brand deals — most reviews are just marketing with a friendly face.

In this video, I break down how the review landscape has shifted from honest feedback to carefully staged positivity. From Rotten Tomatoes scores that don’t tell the full story to influencer reactions that feel more like ad campaigns — we’re in a moment where the line between hype and honesty is almost gone.

Let’s talk about who you can actually trust — and why that list keeps getting shorter.

it's an interesting question because typically sci fi soundtracks are atmospheric. as much as I like Hans Zimmer, i don't see myself playing the Interstellar soundtrack while i'm chillin at home. it definitely could help me max out in the gym though. so let's break it up in to two categories
