Could they not get any of these actors together in the same room? Every shot is of just one of them.

 

[Scrooged]

So yeah, the dialog, pacing, and....everything is kinda shit in this episode. I think this season needed to be 12 episodes or something.

 

[GuyKazama]

nah I think DD lost it... its like hes just waiting for the other persons lines to be over...Im betting he really didn't want to do this but the paycheck changed his mind...
the dialogue is doge sheit also lol

Actually he's been talking for years about reviving X-Files

So many commercial breaks, but then the breaks are not very long. So strange.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Scully is lying lmfao her tests did come back positive

The girl's were negative... but Scully's were positive!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I'll take a stale, or uneven, or downright bad first episode if things vastly improve. I mean I don't think it's that bad.

But people will bitch and moan anyway.

 

[Ozium]

oh shit

what if scully is part of the conspiracy??

 

[Gritesh]

The girl's were negative... but Scully's were positive!

Or the girls dna matches the kids

 

[SaviorX]

Lines aren't delivered with much panache, but you can see glimpses here and there. It's jumping around to fill you in on everything that's been going on so its a lot at once.

Hopefully they get a rhythm going for episode 2

 

[Fried Food]

This is reallllly bad

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Skully's messed up

 

[Pryce]

And now they're getting rid of the evidence. Man come on.

 

[The Technomancer]

If the pacing continues to be like this I'll be annoyed but they're trying to lay a lot of groundwork very quickly

 

[Dsyndrome]

Don't blow up the ship, it was gonna be mine!

 

[Boke1879]

I'm kind of... enjoying how completely stupid this is?

This is were people realize xfiles was always silly.

 

[jmizzal]

wow they blew it up

 

[Machine Messiah]

If there were no aliens then how do you explain the scenes in Seasons 5 and 6 where they showed the syndicate talking about

Spoiler

black oil and the "rebel" aliens (faceless men).

Why would they lie to each other? They were in charge! This is too much retcon for me. I wish they had just done monster of the week episodes.

Joel McHale why did you agree to do this?

Joel McHale how were you allowed to do this?

Dana needs to learn about bookmarks.

I do believe this is the first episode they shot.

If people watched any of the promo material the actors even acknowledge that getting back into the swing of things took some time.

 

[PopeReal]

Oh damn.

And can we have separate threads for people to bitch in one and another for us to talk about what is happening or no?

 

[Scrooged]

oh shit

what if scully is part of the conspiracy??

The longest of cons.

 

[icespide]

oh fuck me my TiVo didn't record the whole thing because of football. ugh

They never said there weren't aliens. There are aliens. The conspiracy about 2012 was men though not Aliens.

Yup, this is all set up to get Mulder fully invested again and out of retirement.

 

[The Beard]

Joel McHale how were you allowed to do this?

That's more like it. McHale is a shit tier actor with a stale as fuck delivery.

 

[JeffZero]

She has alien DNA arrrgh!!!

 

[DirtyManos]

"We signed a contract"

 

[DiscoJer]

This is were people realize xfiles was always silly.

This is more sad than silly.

 

[Scrooged]

Nope, I've been going through the series and most of the episodes are simply better than this. Also, the main conspiracy episodes were always the weakest.

Text from Skinner: "Yo if you all are interested I got some Monster of the Week episodes for ya! Come on down to the FBI!"

 

[BigJonsson]

Scully is an alien

 

[Dsyndrome]

Oh no, not again Svelta. Another chunk of your stomach.
Edit: Or not. CSM!!!

 

[Pryce]

Are you fucking serious.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

KABOOM!!!!

 

[TyrantII]

It really seems like they're trying to make this more relevant than it has to be. First these themes of government surveillance and lying (which aren't new) but then fucking slide shows that are just like "LOOK FUCKING EDWARD SNOWDEN!" Maybe I'm forgetting but this show did not seem nearly as...I don't know, desperate to tie in to current events in the 90's...That being said I'm still enjoying this.

It sort of did in the 90s, but it was subtle. It was not this in your face terrible melodrama.

 

[Boke1879]

This is more sad than silly.

Nah I actually like it.

 

[Scrooged]

hahahahahha

 

[Pryce]

Lmao this show.

 

[Dsyndrome]

He's got like half a face.

 

[Ozium]

LMAO

 

[Grisby]

Oh snap.

Any way he can get that nicotine!

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

wow!

ummm... lol

 

[streetsahead123]

What a goddamn mess

CSM doing Illusive Man impression.
