We need a new version of the "X-Files" tv series...I enjoyed the original show and would likely enjoy a new version...

Speculating about the possible and not possible is fun for me in my little elder guy world.

Also the great chemistry between the two main characters. A remake would most likely be disappointing.

usual cast of decent characters and suspense surrounding them, and viola! A new X-files 2 is born. The repeats of X-files 1 have been going on forever it seems, surely someone can capitalize on that?!

I've gotten tired of TV series that never tell the story from start to finish. X-Files was very guilty of that, and there have been many others since then. They don't want to finish the story ... they leave the last show as a cliff-hanger, and then they drag on for another year. It really diminishes the quality of the production.
