Sculder and Mully

When we we kids, my cousin and I would make silly parodic sketches and two of our characters were Sculler and Muldy!

*x-flles theme plays in my head*

Yes! I could be into watching this! For sure!

Just why? I’m sooo tired of reboots. Can’t we just get a new sci-fi show?

Part of me agrees with that, and part of me agrees with the sci-fi investigation theme of the series and it coming out and people immediately calling it a ripoff and it ultimately losing because of that. Idk. I just might want a new sci-fi investigation series. lol

Times have changed so much, I think the feel and even setting of the show will have to be so different you might as well make a new show. But everyone is scared to greenlight non-established IPs. Like someone down below said, conspiracy theories aren’t fun anymore. It’s all Alex Jones types and flat earth weirdos.

I agree with your sentiment I just meant for this series specifically, I could see reactions going both ways.

My initial reaction was no, but the more I think about, I actually think different characters working on X files cases with new stories could work.
