X-Files No doubt had two pilot episodes… the one that launched the series in season 1 and the first episode of season 10, which launched the unfortunate renewal of the series. But what happens if there was a secret hidden pilot in sight for decades and that it was better than one of these other episodes? We are talking about season 2 X-Files The first “Little Green Men”, the co-scriptwriter of the episode, Glen Morgan, said “was to be a kind of new pilot”.
Why, however, this veteran would be X-Files The writer thinks that the first of season 2 should be a new pilot when season 1 did a perfect job by establishing the sexy and frightening vibrations of the show? One of the reasons is that the final of season 1 “The Erlenmeyer Flask” presented the closed X-Files holder and the informant of the government Mulder, Deep Gorge, is murdered. The rules of the show and his characters had changed, and the co-series of “Little Green Men” James Wong said that he and Morgan “wanted Mulder to wonder himself”.
Mulder questioning himself was a large part of what made his first this season because he worked for most of season 1 (and most of the show, really) as a crusader who always knew exactly what the government was trying to stay hidden. The zeal of Mulder is so powerful and well known that, on several occasions, the bad smoking cigarette refused to kill the younger man because it would transform him into a martyr for other researchers of truth. Therefore, see that X-Files The character launched himself and wallowed in a little misery made “little green men” a secret pilot who recontextualized his whole character.
Beyond that, Wong stressed that this first of season 2 needed to “answer logistical questions” such as “what Scully does now, that Mulder does now”. Working on the X-Files gathered these two in the first place. With this closed department, these two FBI agents had a new status quo and “Little Green Men” worked as a second X-Files Pilot in part because he had to restore who these characters were, both apart and together.
While Glen Morgan and James Wong were two of the best writers for X-FilesAll their ideas for this new pilot did not stay for the rest of the show. For example, both liked the idea that Mulder’s fascination alien was everything in his head … as, that he could have imagined the extraterrestrial kidnapping of his sister and spent a life wrongly pursuing the bad guys who did not really exist. It is a neat concept that would be at home in modern genre narration, but it is also a concept that completely Changes one of the main characters in the series and his guide passion.
Having learned that Morgan and Wong considered their X-Files Episode “Little Green Men” A second pilot attempt gave us new respect for this brilliant episode. History is more than catching up on characters and establishing a new status quo; This also implements success, giving the second season enough momentum to make it much better than season 1. As for Mulder, led by demons in his head … Well, it is a plot of conspiracy that we are happy to never really go through this episode.
