Scully's phone just shows "Mulder". She didn't even care enough to put his first name in the contact field.

Why is this new show trying to hurt me with their break up? Why?
 
I'm disappointed Scully's phone did not display a silly picture of Mulder when it rang.

Was that an Observer from Fringe at the :30 mark of the trailer?

Thought the same thing. :)

Since the season premiere was just shown at MIPCOM I hit Google for some reactions, and while there's no real good article to link to for now, the episode seems to have been very awesome (cheering as the ending credits rolled)

Plus, they kept the original opening :)
 
Finally! Oh wonder of wonders! Complete blu-ray at last!

Edit: But holy cow, those season's case art photos are just...they're jut awful. Mulder looks like he's playing peek-a-boo on the season 9 cover. I miss the moody covers on the originals.
Oh well, they'll be in a box most of the time.
 
Once again confirming the shittiness of the premiere, former Grantland writer and current podcaster on Bill Simmon's network posted this a few days ago. It was in response to someone complaining about all the reboots and revivals on TV:

Andy Greenwald ‏@andygreenwald Jan 17
In fairness, I don't think anyone who has seen the first episode wants an X-Files revival.


He hadn't seen the other 2 episodes yet though, and was happy to hear someone else say they were better.

That's disappointing to hear, especially since the first episode is the one that's going to get the football boost in the ratings.

But then the second episode comes immediately after on the next day, so i think they were counting on not many people catching the first live.

I just hope my DVR gets the entire first episode.
 
'If the price of getting another Darin Morgan "X-Files" episode is sitting through a bunch of other hours that remind me of why I was so relieved when the show ended back in '02, that may be worth it. But if any of the remaining three hours are of a piece with the first, I may need to spend a few days mainlining vintage episodes on Netflix to remind myself that this was once one of the best TV shows of all time.'

:(
 
I hope they have a goofy episode in the 6. Some of the best X Files episodes were ones that weren't taking the idea too seriously.

One I can think of is the one where Dana is on vacation, or trying to take one, and gets drawn into a bizarre case. She keeps calling Mulder for tips and his opinion and each time she does he's doing something dumb. I'm fairly sure he's watching a UFO porno in on scene as the sounds of the video he's watching all but confirm it.

That's the stuff of legends right there.

Glad to hear there's at least one episode tapping into that side of the show.

War of the Coprophages? That the episode you're thinking of? Another Morgan classic, def in my top ten.

edit: My bad I think you're referring to "Never Again", the talking tattoo one with Jodie Foster doing the vo. Interesting bit of trivia I just learned about that one, Tarantino was originally schedule to direct it but couldn't due to a dispute with the dga.
 
Well at least I know to keep my expectations in check for the first one. Glad they will be airing the second ep the next night. Sounds like Eps 2 and 3 are good from the reviews. I'm still very excited for this!
 
Finally gave in and got myself this one

Watched Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose and the image quality really is something else, I never noticed Peter Boyle's nose hair before...

god I am so jealous!!! I don't have the money for that >-<

amazing :D
 
I can't believe it's just a few days away.

SO CLOSE.

Space is airing a bunch of X-Files favourites, so I'm PVRing a lot of them and hoping to watch several before Sunday's premiere. They're all in HD, which will be better than my standard def DVDs.

I hope the football game won't go late and screw up my PVR-ing of the premiere.
 
I took my girlfriend to some Fox premiere yesterday they showed us the first episode and the third episode. It looked beautiful on the big screen, but I was never really a fan of the show. It didn't really feel like X-files from what she's forced me to watch. It was enjoyable though. I'm just a casual on the X-files though so my opinion could be way off.

I will PVR the episode after as well.

Too bad this is going head to head with the Royale Rumble, which I don't want to miss because it's live.
 
Just sat down to watch The Truth in what was the first time in a very long time.

It wasn't as bad as I remembered. I still think the weird Mulder visions of the dead felt awkward and out of place but I get that Chris Carter wanted to shoe-horn them in somehow, but it was clumsy.

They do a decent job of summarizing the alien conspiracy but most people I know who were watching the show at the time still didn't understand what was going on. It's fairly straightforward but over the course of nine years the show throws so many curve balls at the audience I can understand why people would still be confused.

There are characters who I had completely forgotten had shown up in the finale. Marita Covarrubias showing up - lol, I love that name.

I was never a big fan of the super soldier story in the past couple of seasons and I found their contribution to the overall conspiracy to be kind of redundant as the aliens already had the shape-shifters as enforces on Earth. The super soldiers would have made more sense if they were part of a program to actually prepare to fight the aliens in 2012. Some of that really got muddled and I'm not sure what happened to the shape-shifters at a certain point. I guess I need to go back and watch the mythology episodes over again.

Also, Doggett rolls up the "I Want to Believe" poster after the office is cleaned out and takes it with him. In the previews the poster almost appears to be in the same place before it's rolled up.


Review from the Atlantic of the first three episodes:
http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/01/x-files-revival-review-i-want-to-believe/426531/

I don&#8217;t know what to say about &#8220;My Struggle&#8221; (perhaps a reference to the Hitler manifesto of the same name, or the Norwegian autobiographical opus by Karl Ove Knausgaard, although the episode does little to point at either), because I barely understood what happened in it. Chris Carter long ago lost the thread of his &#8220;mytharc&#8221; for The X-Files, which was initially about a planned alien colonization but morphed into five other related things. &#8220;My Struggle&#8221; does nothing to clear things up, and it does even less to revitalize Mulder&#8217;s ardor for his work. Duchovny, perhaps shell shocked after years of making the drearily sexist Californication on Showtime, sleepwalks through the premiere and gives the usually energetic McHale little to work off of. &#8220;My Struggle&#8221; feels like it&#8217;s trying to catch up to all of contemporary TV&#8217;s new cinematic flourishes (which The X-Files helped spark in the 1990s), but its visuals are muddled and its wide-ranging plot idiotic.

Sounds like your typical mythology episode. We have been down this road with Mulder before.

After reading the detail about the second episode from the review I would argue that second episode is mythology as well.
