That was...a very mixed episode. I get they had to rehash the whole ethos of the show for new ppl but it's a shame they had to waste so much time on retreading old ground. It had none of the pacing, atmosphere etc of the original either imo. And what's with all the jump cuts? Is all modern TV this bad about it?
Oh well the other episodes are supposed to be better. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I'm totally down with this and the surprise at the end was great, super excited for the rest of the season. Love me some X-Files.

I really enjoyed it!
Yeah, you can tell they are getting back into the groove. It's been so long.
Also, I need to watch The Americans so I can get more of this "Nina"...

People called Romanes they go the house?
Yeah....not great.
Joel McHale did not sell in any way shape or form the 9-11 truther, and Mulder eating it all up, even with the ARV, was just....not great. It's one of the only ways they probably could have tie the series into a post 9-11 world, but....ugh.
Gillian tried more than Duchovny did, but that was a pretty bad start.
Hoping MotW episodes can pull through.
It kind of maybe-sorta was, but it wasn't anywhere near as prevalent (or at least accessible) in the news/media/internet as it is in today's world.

Not the best, but I liked it! Excited for tomorrow night. Surprised at all the absolute negativity here, but I guess it is the internet.
LMFAOOOO
I like that they reset the viewers (our) expectations by giving us those scenes that shed light on the mythology. Dont necessarily want a strict rerun of the first series.

Probably more cause they had to come up with some kinda look to pretend to explain why we see him now when the last time we saw him it was graphically getting incinerated by a missile.
Well keep in mind they had 24 episodes to lay it out before and now they have 6. It's going to be a different pacing because it has to have a different pacing.

So, like, when the shadow council or whatever were talking to each other when Mulder wasn't around about the alien invasion and shit, was that just them being REALLY, REALLY dedicated to the ruse? What a weird, weird thing to do to your mythos.

X-Cops listed as a must watch/one of the best? You cray. (Some standouts for me, outside of Clyde Bruckman's and Home, are: Ice, Humbug, The Host)
Cancer Man's face (top left part) looked strange, like he was wearing some make-up or a prosthetic piece/mask.

Nostalgia aside, it wasn't that great. You could see some hints and nuggets of good stuff in there, but the weird couple bits (hey Scully's pissed because Mulder's shacked up with a girl and McHale is taking her on a date) felt tacked on/un-needed
I say it wasn't great, but man, I missed this show. The ending, Skinner/Mulder in the old office, Scully/Mulder first exchanges. There were some alright parts.
Let's see how it is with Chris off the reigns for tomorrow.

The pacing was all over the place. Felt like they needed three episodes for all the quick editing cuts and constant moving around. There was no sense of time passing whatsoever. Like they did everything in the episode over the course of a day.
But I want more. I'm looking forward to MOTW episodes and have always loved the government is evil, in on it, angle of the series.

Well I liked it. What were people expecting?
Agreed. As someone who had every episode on VHS tape, I enjoyed it.
Well, this is six episodes and (AFAIK) it's supposed to be a "conclusion" or at least a better "conclusion" than the Season 9/series finale previously. A lot of fans (like me) were pissed the second movie didn't even mention the "2012 invasion" or show it or anything and was a MotW movie. So with these six episodes, they kinda have to throw everything in your face to tie it all together.
(That is if they are going to finalize/try to bring closure. Which I hope they are.)
My biggest problem was it was very unfocused.
Roswell! Alien technology! Human hybrids! Abductions! Conspiracy of men! Snowden!
They really took the shotgun approach for this ep.
Too bad they
, I was looking forward to Mulder having to repeatedly convince Scully he was interested in

I've never seen the X-Files before, so I really don't have any idea of what I just watched. I did enjoy it tho.

That was fantastic!!!!! When that theme song hit, the feels. Mulder and Scully still have perfect chemistry. I a, not sure of the direction they are going of everything with the old conspiracy was a lie, that will allow them to explain CSM though. No mention of the end of the world date though.
Did they, Dr Acula, OR DOES IT ALL TIE TOGETHER?!?!? /offtomyconspiracymapboard

It made me really happy that they used the original opening. I enjoyed it and I'm excited to see these next five episodes. Did they say how many monster of the week episodes vs storyline episodes there will be?

Seeing as Jole's charactor disappeared and cancer man showed up at the end I'd say it's just another fake out like when they used Micheal Kritscow(sp?) in the season 5 finale to make mulder think it was all the gubment and aliens weren't real.

If this does decent are they going to do more episodes next year?
Sure, over 9 seasons. Not rambled off in one fucking episode and tied into a nice shit stained crazy ass bow.
