Six is a good number, but with how much I liked the first two, I feel like this will be a rare when I will want more after it ends. I hope they keep going after these six.

Always better to keep wanting more than to feel like they shoulda fucking quit forever ago.

Yeah, and i dont want them to go to that route again. If they got a cool new premise and they make it 6 solid episodes..well, im ok.

Me too.

I'd love these six and then a regular mid-season order of 13 and one final movie and then let's go ahead and allow the sun to set on The X-Files.

I guarantee there will be a spin-off/reboot series or movie in about 25 years that involves a group of scrappy, young do-gooders seeking out a gray, grizzled, now-mythological Mulder for his help with some new conspiracy or mystery.

I watched Leonard Betts yesterday, and I'd forgotten how awesome that episode, particularly the last five minutes, is. It was the X-Files episode run after the Super Bowl, which is pretty much perfect.

Saw the 2 new episodes and although I enjoyed them, I found some of the direction and dialogue to be incredibly unsubtle. Both were pretty strong and delivered what I needed and I can't wait for the next one.

Tonight's episode was great, I actually laughed out loud a couple times! Like the reference to Queequeg, too

The first person to get me a gif of Scully unbuttoning her shirt gets 10,000 simoleons.

I had high hopes for this episode for lots of reasons, and for the most part it met them. One of my favorite parts of every Darin Morgan episode is how he likes to cut Mulder down to size. This pose/line from "Humbug" sums it up perfectly:



So I wasn't surprised to find Mulder doubting his abilities and his beliefs right at the beginning of the episode. The only thing is, I feel like this blow was softened a bit because he already went through the same crisis in the first episode (although there it had a dramatic bend). Still, though, I prefer the panicked Mulder to the confident Mulder almost any day of the week. Morgan episodes also have those memorable characters that drop into the M/S's lives in a significant way (like Clyde Bruckman) or those small-time characters who are just there to color the world (like The Enigma and Bambi). This episode had all sorts, including Rhys' character (who I thought was great) as the former and the glue-sniffing hillbillies, the motel manager, and Shangela ("Halleloo!") filling out the latter. I wasn't wild about Kumail's character, who was pretty shallow and one-note; I think his humor may just not gel with the series. I wish they held off on revealing the "twist" for a bit longer, but it was incredibly clever. My favorite bit may have been when Rhys tried to get Mulder to murder him ("No, not the gun!"). This is the toughest type of X-Files episode to nail, and they may have hit about 85% of the target, but I still loved it.

There was some good meta-stuff in here, too, like the deconstruction of the "Scully in peril" problem that many people had with lots of early episodes. The whole "Scully is immortal" thing was also a huge, huge bone of contention among fans since Season 3 (i.e., whether it was canon or not), so that was a good gag, too.

Also, RIP Kim Manners!

Peasants!

Fun, light monster of the week episode. No complaints at all.
Looking forward to next week, seems to be another monster episode but more intense. Those were always some of my favorites too.

That was GREAT. So much fun!

The gif? For sure.

Just finished episode 3. I had a stupid smile on my face the whole time.

So that was absolutely amazing!

I forgot to mention how much I loved the fact that the dog was named "Daggoo."
