The WGA strike reached its 100th day on Wednesday, August 9, with virtually no movement forward and what comes next remaining very much up in the air. (There was a meeting last week to discuss opening negotiations back up, but—as of yet—nothing has come from it. The studios were allegedly unwilling to even negotiate on a number of key WGA proposals.)

On Friday, September 10, 1993, Fox debuted THE X-FILES. Now, ahead of the show’s 30th anniversary, Give Me My Remote is looking back at all 11 seasons (and the two feature films) in a new daily series Take Two.
If you’ve read About Last Night, this will be formatted in a similar way: Each episode will get its own subsection/reaction, though in this case there may be slight spoilers or alluding to what comes ahead in the series. In the event a major spoiler is discussed, there will be a warning to be extra safe. Each Take Two will cover approximately 5 episodes and will wrap up the Friday before the show’s 30th birthday.
(I’ll also note how I’m watching the episodes, because some of the streaming platforms have utilized syndicated cuts of this show.)
