A 10 or 12 episode run ala 24: Live Another Day would be wonderful.
Grizzlyjin
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Catching up on this now.
Episode 1: Literally started bursting out laughing during that huge exposition dump between Mulder and O'Malley. One of the silliest scenes I've seen in a TV show in awhile. Scully's reaction is how I imagine a lot of the audience felt about that moment. Didn't help that it was sandwiched between the poorly acted argument between Mulder & Scully and the car explosion. Best part of the episode was the original opening.
Episode 2: Now THIS is what I was expecting. Hits the ground running with and dialogue and pacing is pitch perfect for this series. Exactly what you would expect from an X-Files revival. Kacey Rohl as the young girl at the hospital was a nice surprise. Always loved her work on Hannibal, and literally just saw her on The Magicians right before watching these episodes. Haha
Episode 3: Loved it. Definitely one you can comfortably call a future fan favorite. Mulder being cynical and skeptical about the case had me rolling. And running around with his cellphone taking pictures...Classic.

Good episode but the ending was legendary. 2 and 3 were really good. Can't believe how violent 2 was.

Did the tombstone beside Kim Manners' have any significance, or was it just a manufactured name? They showed it prominently.

Oh, okay. I was sure it meant something, too.
It's a shame that he's passed, but it's great that they did that for both he and Kim.

It really felt like David Duchovny was starting to find the character again in this episode. If they get another season after this he'll be on fine form.
Yeah I'm pretty sure haha I was cringing every time he took a swig. That was a great part.

I read that this was an old script Darin Morgan had lying around that he intended for the Nightstalker reboot.
Gilligan, surely you have some old scripts laying around. Right?

True true.
Skinner still coping shit even though he has bailed Mulder a stupid amount of times.

I'd say Founder's Mutation felt like Duchovny was starting to find the character again, and this new episode was him nailing the character completely.
Which one would argue makes no sense because Founder's Mutation was made after, but I guess that's what great writing can do to an actor's performance.

Do I need to watch the first episodes, to watch the most recent one? The negative impressions are turning me off.
Fuck the first episode. You don't need it. Watch episode 2 though, I liked it. Honestly episode 1 told you nothing you needed to know
Mulder and Scully back at the FBI for reasons. Saved you 45minutes.

Yeah that's been bugging me a bit. They seem to have lost some of the gloomy atmosphere of the original run. Digital cameras probably aren't helping on that front.

It's the same alcohol as moonshine.

Didn't really like this one, much prefer the serious tone ones. I did snicker a couple of times, but the last episode was better to me than this one.
The Elite
BOSS
He was. Mulder saw him transform.
It definitely achieve everything it sets out to do in your spoiler as well.
