The Smithsonian actually hasn't put the X-Files stuff on display. Fans always ask them about it, but it's all in storage. :-(

Hey Chris!

Thanks so much for doing this AMA; I’m a really big X-Files fan! Hopefully you’ll enjoy this experience and maybe come out of that secret underground bunker more often. Even though you’ll probably always “Trust No 1”.

Truthfully, The X-Files has had a really large impact on my life. Remembering back to the days of when I first watched, it was such an amazing experience for me. Understanding fandom was a new challenge, but once I did, it became such a valuable community to be a part of. Though my mother rolled her eyes, I loved every minute of it—the fans, the videos, the artwork and even the gratuitous amounts of fanfiction. Hell, she still thinks I’ll “grow out of it”, but I’ve met too many amazing people for it to be just a phase.

In countries all over the world, I’ve met Philes who I previously only knew on message boards and Facebook; we’ve gone to theme parks in Denmark and comic conventions in Australia. So many events and experiences have shaped not only my time as a fan, but also me as a person.

Out of all the TV shows I’ve watched (and with Netflix, it has been many), none have left such an impression as The X-Files. Underneath all those forum posts, all the late night exchanges about the smallest details in series, and debates about whether or not Mulder and Scully would finally get together, there was a great group of people who became amazing friends. Totally crazy stories have resulted from knowing this group of people, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

To be honest though, I’m really not ready to let go of this journey. Heck I loved Breaking Bad and all the other amazing work the XF alumni have created (and I can’t wait to see more of The After either!), but there’s still one last story that needs to be told. Every time someone asks you about XF3, you tell fans that it’s up to Fox and to let the studio know we want the film. Restricting kidnapping of high level Fox executives, we’ve done everything to let them know we want our movie: videos, postcards, photos, buying out Amazon of the IWTB DVD—we’ve done it all. Except heading down to our local theaters and buying a ticket, your fans have done everything…the rest is up to you and Fox, and we really want to believe!

There's actually already been a massive XF3 campaign. Videos, postcards, photos, letters--they've all been sent to Fox. A search of "XF3 Army" on YouTube will pull a lot of the stuff up. The fans are ready; we're just waiting on Fox.

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed The Man in the High Castle—everything about it was truly incredible.

What I really need to know though, is when we’ll have more to watch because I’m already totally addicted!

Amazon is very lucky to have you guys, and I’m looking forward to hearing word on the official pick up of the series.

Not to be overly repetitive, but I’ve got to ask.

Tell us what’s happening with the X-Files revival?

The fandom went absolutely nuts when Fox announced that they were in talks to bring the show back.

Only fans weren’t the only ones losing their minds; older casual fans, the newer Netflix fans—everyone online was so excited about the possibility of more Mulder and Scully.

Bringing back the Truth that is out there is still a very resonant idea, and I hope that Fox is listening!

Everyone could benefit from a little more Truth searching and alien hunting.

Leagues of fans still exist, and more are popping up every day; heck there are kids who weren’t even alive when the show started that now can’t get enough of it.

In any case, The X-Files just has to come back; it's a universal invariant!

Even though I know you can’t say much, I’m hoping you can say something that isn’t just “Don’t Give Up”.

Very soon, my hope is that we will be hearing about the green light from Fox, and how you reached the perfect agreement to bring back The X-Files in all the glory it deserves.

Eager doesn’t really begin to cover my feelings, but until we know more, I’ll be over here dreaming about quitting my job and moving to Vancouver to bolster my resume as a production assistant who would be a great edition to a certain revival production…

Gillian really does rock the Sad Scully thing, doesn't she? That woman has endless talent.
