The X Files is back!
Mulder and Scully, and assistant deputy director Skinner (and the smoking man) are all back for a new series!

Re: The X Files is back!
Already seen a couple of them (us timeline) and although different they're still good :tu:

Re: The X Files is back!
Still monster of the week episodes plus a story arc? One of the best things about the original run was the ability to actually keep people watching with Monster of the week episodes that were always reasonably good.
It seems a lot of actors are ditching movies for TV returns. Absolutely loving this era of TV in which we can find the likes of Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sean Bean, Kevin Spacey on TV etc. It's really overwhelming seeing the quality of TV shows now. DC and Marvel are producing 8/10 content everytime, Arrow, Flash, Agents of Shield, Daredevil. You've got a massively strong cast in Sherlock, Game of Thrones. The Netflix era? Will start watching the US timeline tonight as I do with everything else. Channel 5 will lose track and get massively behind. Person Of Interest fell to that problem. Another show bound for Netflix soon anyway. |

Was hoping to follow this on C5 as I can't be bothered pirating it.
What's their problem with scheduling? |
Re: The X Files is back!
I have watched the first two episodes shown so far.
While it was nice to see Mulder and Scully again, I wasn't impressed. It came across to me as just yet another badly written Conspiracy episode. (Although I admit I did like how it tied into real life stuff that has happened since the series finished.) Spoiler:
Episode two was better, but was nothing special for a MotW episode. It also had two pointless and overly long dream sequences. It's no surprise to me that episode one was written by Chris Carter, but I expected better from James Wong for the second episode. Episode three is written by Darin Morgan, so I'm expecting (hoping) that it will be a hell of a lot better than the first two (especially the premier). Quote:

Only seen the first one so far - considered it average - watchable, entertaining, but nothing special.
I suspect most peoples expectations were probably too high to start with. The original nine seasons had a lot of poor episodes as well as really good ones, memories are often rose tinted. |

Nostalgia for the first two I guess. Episode 3 however is on another planet, absolutely dire in my opinion. If this is the best their writer can deliver then this will be done and dusted soon. Besides Mulder and Skully, I never felt I was actually watching the X-files with that one.
People above are already pointing out just how silly it started but to get sillier.. Well :confused: It was the seriousness of the first three seasons that made this show good. High viewership eventually dies down but I'm now underwhelmed. |
Re: The X Files is back!
I've been loving it so far. I missed Mulder and Scully. Found the last few series poor and the second movie pretty awful.
I think the lighthearted humerus episodes were good and sometimes really good. Bit like when Supernatural does them. |

Re: The X Files is back!
Episode three was a massive improvement over episodes one and two (*especially* over episode one)... no surprise, as it was written by Darin Morgan.
A shame, then, that it's the only Darin Morgan episode in this "revival" / "event series" / "mini series" :( I have no hope for Chris Carter's next episodes, five and six, being any good. |
Re: The X Files is back!
doesn't matter, it will get picked up for another season easily, I have just heard the ratings in the US alone are ridiculous.
