The X-Files Season 11 - Featurette Clip Commentaries from Chris Carter, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
The clip opens with series creator Chris Carter discussing the season 10 finale saying, “In the season finale of season 10 we basically saw what looked like the end of the world with Scully looking up at a spaceship and people wondered how we were going to come back. The question was, ‘how do we get her off the bridge’ and I think we have a really dramatic solution.”
Writer/producer Gabe Rotter shares a little insight into Carter’s inspiration for the storyline revealing, “The mythology episodes are really Chris episodes. We don’t break those stories in the writer’s room but he did tell me as he was writing episode 6 last season that he was toying with doing an occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge type story.”
The featurette also includes interviews with Duchovny and Anderson. Talking about the tough cliffhanger from season 10, Duchovny admits, “It’s hard with cliffhangers because you’re always boxing yourself into a corner right? You have to figure out a way out that’s either real or it was all a dream.” Anderson continues by teasing, “Is that a future vision that she’s having or is she losing grip a little bit because of all the testing… or is it William projecting his fears onto her mind?”
The X-Files Season 11 is available on Blu-ray and DVD now.
