this. But also I don't see why they didn't go the TNG route and remaster is, but accept that the show was designed for 4:3 and just kept that ratio? Maybe it's because I grew up when EVERYTHING was 4:3, either because it was television or the VHS was pan and scan, but watching older shows in that format (especially when they're filmed with it in mind) doesn't bother me.

But wasn't season 5 onwards made for 16:9? Strange that you can see such a mistake then, was it broadcasted 4:3 still?>>203621289
I read that it was always shot in widescreen.
>However, one very nice bonus is the fact that the show is now in widescreen. Star Trek: The Next Generation was 'shot for TV', meaning that whilst widescreen cameras were used, only the middle section of the camera view (i.e. what a late 1980s TV audience would see) was kept clear. This means that the widescreen shots often have crew, props, extras, actors waiting for cues, the edge of the stage etc, in view, so it was impossible to get a usable widescreen image. The X-Files, however, was launched after the Laserdisc and early widescreen TV boom of the early 1990s when TV companies realised that widescreen was the way forwards. As a result, it was filmed with widescreen in mind and this new HD release is the first time viewers have been able to see the show in this way. That said, the pilot was shot somewhat differently, with the result being that some cropping was necessary to get it looking right.
