I want it to be watchable

After a long hiatus and a disappointing series finale, The X-Files is returning this July 25 with a second full-length feature film. It's titled The X-Files: I Want to Believe. The show was really good up until about the end of the third season, the high mark being an episode called Jose Chung's From Outer Space. And while there were a few later high points like X-Cops, it fizzled out. With the appearance of the Doctor Who francise's Torchwood (and the oh so almost borderline silly The Sarah Jane Adventures), a new X-Files movie almost seems irrelevant. Let's hope that Chris Carter, who seemed strangely absent during the Bush years, can prove us wrong.
