Somewhere in Vancouver, on an unmarked soundstage, Hollywood's most deep-rooted conspiracy is revealing itself once more. By January (if all goes according to plan), a second X-Files movie will begin production, with a release date set for July — a solid decade after the first flick. Bet you thought The X-Files ended in 2002, headed for a quiet afterlife of sci-fi conventions and FX reruns. Oh, you poor naive fool. That's just what they want you to think! The Files are still open. Haven't you noticed? Every show on TV for the past couple of years has been a long-arc, multilayered, slightly ironic, paranormal-based exercise in self-conscious weirdness. The signs of conspiracy are everywhere! Sure, the original stars — David Duchovny (Agent Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Agent Scully) — have popped up on premium cable and in indie flicks, but an exhaustive wired investigation confirms that, in fact, all modern TV is X-Files, because they are everywhere. (Stash this article in case something happens to me.)
