Today outside the window...


..we find a lot of people who want to believe. Because for some reason I find myself increasingly excited about a spin-off film sequel of TV show that ended six years ago. Even if Mulder's head looks strangely crudely copy and pasted onto the poster.
In fact the upcoming cinematic entry has jolted the 'Great X-Files Project*' into life for the final four series stint. Onto episodes by now that I've never seen, and yes by now the long running story is a complete mess (aliens! goo! bees! shadowy organisations! different aliens! Mulder's sister! strange illnesses! other aliens!) but the stand alone stories are still frequently marvelous pieces of entertainment. If there is a true modern successor to The Twilight Zone this is probably it.
So with a promise of a stand alone story, added Billy Connolly, and the potential for a return to past glories, well, I'm excited.
*That being to watch every single episode of the TV series, having initially lost track of it somewhere around season five.

And yes, the house is there, just look sharp!
