Or at least, there are a surprising number of British people and accents in this series continuation! We discuss the implications and... probable influences on the direction of travel the book is taking. We're quite taken with the writing and how Scully is depicted.

(and realised after the fact - while we note that the timeline feels off in this book and comment that it has to occur within about 4 months of My Struggle 4 as per human biology, there are some references that are suspect...

What we mean is, typically the assumption is a series of The X-Files has to happen more or less concurrently with broadcast - something more or less borne out by Season 11, Seasons 10 and 11 have to happen in at least 2016 or charitably 2016 to 2018 at best. Its not impossible to take place after that, but its unlikely to be the intent. What we're getting at is that the references to WandaVision and Andor feel out of place given neither series would exist at that point in time unless My Struggle 4 occurs late 2022. Which, yes, is very pedantic, but surely that implies a hugely divergent timeline given Covid 19 ought to have a major bearing on the plotlines, so I don't think so?)
