The X-Files It is arguable having had two pilot episodes … the one that started the show back in season 1 and the first season episode of the show, which began the unfortunate revival of the show. But what if a secret pilot hidden in a plain look for decades and better than either of those other chapters? We’re talking about season 2 X-Files Premiere “Little Green Men,” the co-writer of the episode Glen Morgan said “He had to be a kind of new pilot.”
Why, however, would this former Sunnor X-Files The author thinks that the season 2 premiere must be a new pilot when season 1 did perfect work establishing the show’s sexual vibrations? One reason is that the end of season 1 “The Erlenmeyer Flask” includes the X-Files tits shut down and the deep neck of the Mulder government’s informant is murdered. The rules of the show and its characters had changed, and James Wong’s “Little Green Men” said, that he and Morgan “wanted Mulder to question himself.”
Mulder questioned himself was a big part of what he did this season for the first time differently because he acted for most of the season 1 (and most of the show, frankly) as a crusader who always knew exactly what the Government was trying to keep hidden. Mulder’s seal is so powerful and well -known that a man smoked a villain’s cigarette several occasions refused to kill the younger man because he would turn him into a martyr for other truth seekers. So see this X-Files The character re-stoned himself and invaded in a little distress made “green little men” a secret pilot who re-contextualized his entire character.
Beyond that, Wong noted that this season 2 premiere need to “answer the logistical questions” as “what Scully is doing now, what Mulder is doing now.” Working on the X-Files is what brought these two together in the first place. With that section closed, both FBI agents had a new status quo, and “Little Green Men” worked as a moment X-Files Pilot partly because he had to re -establish who these characters were, besides and together.
While Glen Morgan and James Wong were two of the best writers for The X-FilesNot all their ideas for this new pilot were stuck around for the rest of the show. For example, both of them liked the idea that Mulder’s interest alien He was all in his head … like, he could have imagined his sister’s extraterrestrial capture and spend a lifetime chasing bad guys inaccurate who didn’t really exist. It is a neat concept that would be right at home in modern genre storytelling, but it is also a concept that completely Changes one of the show’s main characters and his leading passion.
After learning that Morgan and Wong have considered their X-Files Episode “Little Green Men” A second attempt at a pilot has given us a new respect for this incredible episode. The story does more than catch up on characters and establish a new status quo; It also sets out the show for success, giving the second season enough momentum to make it much better than season 1. In terms of muLder driven by demons in his own mind … well, that’s one plot point that we have never done to this chapter.
