Old Man's interaction with Mulder "10 years ago"?
I can't find a source to quote or a clip to post, but in the first episode of the new X-Files miniseries, Mulder and the Old Man (Rance Howard) have a conversation outside at night. Mulder says, at one point:
Ten years ago, you came to me saying you couldn't take your secrets to your grave, that you couldn't live with it.
Is this incident Mulder refers to from ten years ago a previously established event? Or is it new to the story?
Best Answer
This is new to the story. There hasn't been any official X-Files canon since the show's cancelation in 2002 which was 14 years ago. If they met 10 years ago then that would have occurred in 2006 which was before the move I Want To Believe (2008), but no mention was made of the character in that movie.
I could expound on my personal theories of who the Old Man is and where he came from but I won't. It is unfortunate that he is not set to reappear in the rest of the episodes. Hopefully if the show continues or if a movie is made there will be some more information about him and his background.
