The X-Files in Entertainment Weekly

[ericadawn16]

Apparently, the Reunions issue for Entertainment Weekly has four different versions but to my great joy, I received The X-Files cover!

Chris Carter:
Somewhere along the line, I came to the conclusion that the show was really about the search for God. I think science is about the search for God; it just comes at it from a different angle than religion. But the show was about the difficulty to believe. And doubt.

At the time, the God stuff made me a little uncomfortable. It was only a few years after my Conservative, Republican phase and I didn't like the idea that life was created by aliens; or to be more specific, to make Scully into a fool. I've never had a crisis of faith about whether God existed but only about how other views can be so different than mine yet be about the same God.

Now, I'm more mature and open and understand that since God is technically not of this Earth, he or she would be an Extra-Terrestrial like Thor or Han Solo or anyone else. God might not even be in this universe. They might be many universes or galaxies away but the set-up is that solid that life is created everywhere.

I have mixed feelings about a third movie. Part of me is so happy seeing them together and goes, YES! MORE MOVIES!!!
The other part of me adds, But nothing like the last film...or the last season...or the season before that...or...but it would be nice to have an update on Doggett and Reyes who I also shipped.

But I will also never forgive them about the Lone Gummen...

That goes double for me.

Well.... those coffins could have been empty! We can always hope (and write fanfic). Supposedly, Chris Carter has said no one ever really dies in the X-Files. He might have said that before the series finale, though.
