Mulder! Scully! Skinner! Lone Gunmen. And best yet…the Cigarette Smoking Man. They’re all back in the brand-new 6-part X-Files mini-series which kicks off Sunday, January 24, on FOX with the premier episode called “My Struggle.” We can’t be more stoked. The original X-Files series still stands as my FAVORITE fandom of all time. From the music, to the characters, to the best damn conspiracy ever. Do you guys remember the 90s? Back when black helicopters, men in black, government spying, and cover-ups were all the rage? It was the decade of distrust — and we loved it! To get us ready for Sunday’s premier, we’ve pulled together all the latest and greatest news, interviews and video clips to help stoke our fervor. It’s finally happening — THE X-FILES ARE BACK, BABY!

Comments ranged from first seeing the series as an adolescent, to having the series help fans who were dealing with the illness of a relative.

“Just as you had to wait until the series finale to find out that C.G.B. Spender survived his wheelchair tumble, you will have to wait until the revival’s finale to learn what really happened in New Mexico. “In Episode 6, you’re going to see exactly what the product of that failure to die was,” series creator Chris Carter teased, according to TV Insider. What’s more, the CSM might not be the only one called out for his death-defying feats in “My Struggle: Part 2.” Those viewers who believe in Scully’s immortality will receive answers as well.
