Yeah, this year will be the 25th Anniversary of the debut of the X-Files. Wow, has it been that long.
A lot of the posters here would have been under 10 when that happened!

It has been such a longtime Tim. I was 29 when the show just started. Many of our posters here were very young to see it or didn't see the show until it may have ended. |

I was 26, a few weeks from turning 27, when the X-Files started in 1993. Although I didn't see it then, I didn't get into it until about two years later.

I was I think 14 at the time when it started, but I didn't see it until a little later and grew to love it. It's so funny to think now, I'm actually older than what the characters were when it started. |

As am I.
Of course, I'm two years older than Gillian Anderson is.

As am I. Of course, I'm two years older than Gillian Anderson is. Yep, and I'm four years older, and David is just four years older than me, and hasn't looked the best with aging gracefully. |

Yeah, poor David has aged.

He has. Mind you, he's basically the same age William B. David (Smoking Man) was when the show started, who was about 55 when he did the pilot. Obviously drinking and smoking does that to you.

Yeah, time has been much kinder to Gillian.

Yep Gillian looks very good. To think she is turning 50 this year. I can see why she wants to end her run on X-Files now.
Maybe they are better off doing a soft reboot, well not a reboot but with new characters set in the X-Files universe but not name it The X Files. Let Mulder and Scully retire and pass the torch to new people. But I don't think people want to watch this, I'm not sure I would either.

25 years is not a bad anniversary to end on, IMO.

25 years is not a bad anniversary to end on, IMO. Exactly. A nice way to close it out. I really don't want a new movie or mini-series when it hits 30, David will be into his 60s and Gillian is done. So let's just celebrate 30 years with a convention. |

Wish I could go to that convention.

Wish I could go to that convention. Me too. Surprised given the show is filmed in Canada (actually Seasons 1-5, the movies, 10 and 11 were, 6-9 was in LA), they don't do one here. |
