    It's fair to say that this season has been at least 2/3s disappointing.

    Legit curious what people were expecting from this?

    Given the final two seasons of the show sucked, and the last movie sucked, I didn't expect anything from this "reboot." There were even mumbles out of TCA last summer that the first episodes were bad. Then the actual reviews on the premiere weren't any good.

    It was fun seeing Anderson and Duchovny again but beyond that much of the new season played like, "Shit, I got divorced and spent all my Californication money. Hey, everybody, how about we make ourselves a paycheck?"

    Well, I got charming performances, gigantic plot holes, set ups that go nowhere, a bullshit and rushed cliffhanger ending, and a season that consists of a couple of really good episodes, a couple of terrible ones, and a string of mediocre executions of fun ideas. I wanted X-Files back the way it was and I guess they delivered.

    More please.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I disagree that the last movie sucked. I enjoyed that.

    Yeah the last movie was really underrated.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I can't remember if I finished the series. I guess it doesn't matter?

    A lot of this feels like Fox trying to get on a Netflix-style nostalgia train, cf: Wet Hot American Summer, Arrested Development, Gilmore Girls, etc etc.

    I'm definitely a yay. I was asking a question, since I know a lot of X-Files fans just want them to leave it alone.

    Here's what I don't want out of the next season/project:

    Duchovny and Anderson arbitrarily and strictly separated for half of every show.
    Backdoor pilot bullshit.

    Basically, I'm game though. X-Files is fun. Mulder is fun. Scully is fun.

    I caught a bit of a season two episode on television recently. Seeing the blacks and blues of a nighttime scene set at Mulder's apartment felt…nourishing. I love that space and the exposition and calm-amidst-the-storm planning that was so often conducted there. There's one of the key casualties of the developments of S8 and 9. Plus, I know they shot the new episodes in Vancouver, but I don't remember the cinematography being comparable to the precise moodiness of the earlier episodes. I missed the arboreal atmosphere of those car rides down empty roads, too.

    Didn't know it's trailer time already, but here it is! Looks like they're dropping the silliness and going back to thrills and conspiracies.

    I'm ok with that.
