Take Two: THE X-FILES Season 11

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 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.)

Today, we’re revisiting season 11! Read more

THE X-FILES: 4 Teases About ‘Familiar’

After just barely surviving an elaborate A.I. attack in last week’s episode of THE X-FILES, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) are back to more human matters in Wednesday’s new hour. (But, you know, as a reminder, always tip your freaking robot waiters/chefs. Never forget the lessons of “Rm9sbG93ZXJz.”)

In “Familiar,” Fox previews that “Mulder and Scully investigate the brutal animal attack of a little boy in Connecticut, while suspecting darker forces are at play.” And, unfortunately for the town, that’s just the start of their problems.

And, of course, things are never exactly as they seem. While we don’t want to reveal (or spoil) too much, here are a few more teases about the episode. Read more

THE X-FILES: ‘Rm9sbG93ZXJz’ Photos

In Wednesday’s episode of THE X-FILES “Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) find themselves targets in a deadly game of cat and mouse.” And while the duo has found themselves in tough spots before, the hour, “Rm9sbG93ZXJz”—written by Shannon Hamblin & Kristen Cloke, and directed by Glen Morgan—is told with only a handful of lines of dialogue.

Check out some photos from the ambitious installment:
