I'd still give it to Skully...hot enough + smart + vulnerable yet strong character.
Great show.

Hell of a continuation of the series. That was about as good as I could have asked for.
Ending was not at all what I expected - but I loved it. Still got the tension and the sense of wonder that it always did. I don't know what the hell happened with that 2008 movie but damn, for this one Chris Carter sure did knock it out of the park.

This looks like a tepid rehash to me...no real drama or mystery in the way the writers re-introduced the characters and story line.
Anderson looks awful.

I enjoyed it but it was not as well thought out or done in a way that is conducive to what TV has become.
I'll always love it and watch but Mulder needs to step up the acting skill.

I loved X-Files, and started rewatching some just recently. I had really high hopes for this, and I did read the 1st episode was kinda so so and the second one really picks it up.
But within 20 minutes, they introduce one of the dumbest plot lines in any production ever made that was a serious production. They seriously blamed an alien cover up many decades ago on oil companies. Fkn hilarious.

I can sort of see where you're getting that - if I squint - but that's not an accurate representation of the plot.

I did say "plot lines" and not plot. I did not mean to imply that was THE PLOT, just one of the plots. And as one of the plots, it's just bad.

A good way to avoid this happening is to anticipate a delay from the sporting contest and DVR extra time beyond the scheduled conclusion of the program you would like to watch.

I didn't think so. I thought they gave her a gaunt, haggard look, but to me that was approrpriate for someone with her haunted life and obsessive drive.

and has a terrible accent. I saw her interviewed on a car show of all things, she's quite small in person. I think she is a vegetarian and I'm fairly certain is fond of the party life of London, ie drugs.

I stayed up for this and I rather enjoyed it. My biggest mistake perhaps was reading the Variety preview a little while back, of course, so I had a vague idea of what it was about, and I actually sort of agree with it in that this gets off to a bit of a slow start. It makes me really want to watch tonight's second episode though, because I was getting into it (just like old times with X-Files). I had to chuckle as Duchovny nailed the "drifter Fox Mulder" look that I half expected of the character over a decade after we last heard from him.

Man I thought the acting was bad, but the lines were worse.

Funny you say that because that is how I feel when watching Notre Dame football.
January 25th, 2016 at 7:22 AM ^
Wife and I weere pumped! I think it turned out great, not the greatest acting (esp in the scene on the proch with Mulder & Scully aguing), and it didn't take much convincing for Mulder to do almost a 180 on the alien s consiracy, but pumped for tonight!

I got to see the first three eps, and each one is better than the last. The third ep is crazy. No spoilers, but if you guys liked the first ep, then you are in for a treat. Thank god this is on, because there is really nothing on right now that I am too hyped about. All of my favorite shows start in April and May. Game of Thrones, Person of Interest final season, Mr. Robot season 2 and The Americans. At least I have this show to make the wait until April ok.

It could be that this first episode was more mythology based(which is why I disliked the series at the end), but the pilot left me cold. I hear the next few episodes are more monster of the week, so my interest might pick back up(my wife loves thes the X-files so I'm watching it whether I like it or not).
January 25th, 2016 at 11:13 AM ^
I have totally forgiven, and will totally forgive, any and all problems or faults with the show. I am just happy that it is back, even for a short time.
The wife and I actually high-fived when the Smoking Man showed up.

I think it is right back to form from it's best years (after a somewhat awkward first episode back which was understandable from a narrative standpoint given the gap in time).
