Star Gillian Anderson certainly noticed as well; voicing her disappointment and adding a low quotient of female directors.
Mind you, this isn’t the first time Anderson has issued public challenge to The X-Files, as the FOX revival initially offered co-star David Duchovny a higher salary (double!) to return as Fox Mulder.
Standing beside X-Files fan disappointment that Season 11 would lack key franchise writers was the realization that again, only men were invited to pen Mulder and Scully’s return.
There’s every chance that Season 11 heeds Anderson’s call for more female directors (Carter, Wong and the Morgans split the episodes last time), but is The X-Files doomed to dated sensibility, on-screen and off?
