They could do it like they did with Californication, though. 10 full episodes per season/ year should be manageable for both Duchovny and Anderson. Also the writers would have more time to come up with exciting material, and the need for "filler" episodes would be cut dramatically.

Absolutely right! There's no doubt that the quality of many tv shows suffered because they had to have 20+ episodes per season.

I don't know, they couldn't even keep Torchwood around doing that few numbers of eps per season, and it was immediately following its regular run.

I think this will be like the single season revival Beavis and Butthead got on MTV...great news for the fans, of mild interest to anyone else, not enough ratings to make it return. As soon as they try to make it go around after these 6 eps, the cost will increase, and that will kill it.

My guess is that there will be flashbacks because the way he died in the series finale looked pretty damn definitive.

There were also clones on the show, so it could the one that died in the finale wasn't the "real" one after all. smile

I'd buy that! The aliens made a clone of Mulder's fake sister so why not CSM?

Plus, let's face it, his final speech to Mulder was one of the biggest WTF? moments in the entire series.
He helped him, overtly and covertly, for years just to make his final fall more painful?? rolleyes

This is the chance to see the real CSM and retcon that away and give us something MEANINGFUL.

It's really sad that it's near impossible to get someone smoking on TV but I can see cheap gore, torture, etc effects and language left and right on the series-of-the-week.

Smoking must be pretty damn evil.

Generally speaking teenagers don't go out and mutilate and murder people. Language is immaterial, what was offensive yesterday may not be today while what is fine today will be offensive tomorrow.
On the other hand, for some reason teens think it is cool to burn leaves by their face and inhale cancer-causing smoke when they see adults do it.

And yet TV shows will often depict people using hardcore drugs....
