The X-Files is back on FOX, and an all-new episode of the revival will air on FOX later tonight. However, the episodes are not airing in their originally intended order.
Chris Carter has now revealed the reason why the episodes are airing out of order on FOX. Chris Carter shared with TV Insider about the change of order during an interview.
He said:
“Because we have a story arc that runs through the middle of the series…we were concerned that, coming right off a mythology episode [and] going right into a standalone episode, people would say, ‘What’s happened?’ So, it actually worked out. It served Episode 2 better to replace it with 5. It created a better continuity…We’ve come and done what we’ve always done: we give you an amazing mix of episodes—we’ve given you thriller episodes, we’ve given you scary episodes, emotional episodes, comedy episodes.”
The X-Files has made a splash with its return to FOX. Does this change of order for the episodes bother you? Tell us what you think.
