Fans of the science fiction horror thriller hit "The X-Files" have been anticipating the show's return since the reboot was announced earlier this year. It is still a couple of months until the miniseries debuts, but attendees of this year's MIPCON fair were among the lucky ones to have watched the first episode in advance. 

Those in attendance, being fans themselves, have been stingy with details surrounding the episode. However, they did confirm that at the onset of the advanced screening, no one in the room was left un-nostalgic because the iconic opening sequence still remained intact. 

Chris Carter, creator of the worldwide hit, has since explained his decision to keep the iconic sequence the way it has always been since the series' initial debut in 1993. According to Carter, while the production has thought about spicing up the title card, they deemed doing so would be disrespectful to the franchise. 

"We thought about doing some changes to the original credits, but then it seemed like sacrilege," he said. "Those credits were on 202 episodes. They belong on these next six." 

While the intro music would be heard in all six episodes, it seems like one fan favorite character would not be featured in the upcoming reboot. 

Last September, The Province spoke to Robert Patrick, the actor who played Special Agent John Dogger, regarding his decision to not reprise his role on "The X-Files." Apparently, Patrick wasn't officially asked; however, the producers of the reboot did inquire about his availability. 

He said, "I had time to think about, 'Do I want to revisit that character?' and I wasn't so sure I did." 

With his role on "Scorpion," the actor said that while he doesn't hold any ill-will toward his former castmates, his schedule simply did not permit him to work the two jobs. 

"It was a great part of my life but there's no way I can do both," he said. 

'The X-Files' reboot is scheduled to debut on Jan. 24, 2016.
