Xfile s1 e19 series#
The following weapons were used in Season 5 of the television series The X-Files: Season 5 concluded with its' finale "The End" being the last X-Files production to be shot in Vancouver until the second feature film I Want To Believe, roughly a decade later.
Carter and crew subsequently had the challenge of ensuring Season 5 could effectively transition into both the upcoming feature film and Season 6 of the show (as well as ensuring the film could both stand on its own and also be a bridge between the series' fifth and sixth seasons). As such, FOX found the show too popular and lucrative to nix, and would instead order two additional seasons. Season 5 of The X-Files (which, in Chris Carter's original plan, was to be the last season of the show, where it would then segue into a film franchise) would be both the highest rated of the series as well as the highest-rated show for FOX for the 1997-1998 season. Other episodes were notable for the writers behind them, such as "Chinga", co-penned (with Chris Carter) by noted horror writer Stephen King and "Kill Switch", penned by 'Cyberpunk'-pioneering authors William Gibson and Tom Maddox. The stand-alone 'Monster of the Week' episodes continued in earnest, with several highly acclaimed and regarded episodes in Season 5, many considered the best in the show, such as "The Post-Modern Prometheus" and "Bad Blood", the former filmed entirely in black-and-white, as a stylistic nod to the classic 1931 film Frankenstein.
Other, more tangential episodes, such as "Travelers" and "Unusual Suspects", would expound on several background elements (the origin of the X-Files unit and the 'The Lone Gunmen', respectively). Among the new elements revealed in the background mythology would include the addition of the 'Alien Rebels' as well as the near-collapse of Mulder's belief in the extraterrestrial conspiracy. Of additional note is that this would be the first season in which, story-wise, the overarching background mythology would be mostly preplanned, as a result of the upcoming feature film, which had actually been mostly filmed and produced prior to the start of the fifth season. In any event FOX moved the series to LA for its' sixth season, and the show would film in LA for the remainder of its' run. Co-star Gillian Anderson and others in the X-Files crew supported the move (though not as strongly and for other reasons), while others, notably showrunner Chris Carter, not so much. The move was precipitated primarily by lead actor Duchovny, who grew weary of being away from his then-wife Téa Leoni. Perhaps the biggest would be that this would be the last season of the show to be filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia - Following S5, the series would move filming and main production to Los Angeles, California. Season 5 would be notable for several reasons. Season 5 of The X-Files premiered on Novemrather late compared to prior seasons - and would conclude the following May with 20 episodes the second-shortest season in the series.
