54_and_counting Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Just watched the first episode... The whole 2012 thing is explained away by the fact that there never really was an alien conspiracy but there was a conspiracy against the world. It was always a group of humans behind it the whole time using alien technology as they seek world domination. I have mixed feelings about it but I'm happy the show is back and looking forward to seeing where they take the rebooted conspiracy. did it explain the weird guys with their eyes and mouths closed over who were hunting the alien hybrids created on earth?

NorthernLights Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 did it explain the weird guys with their eyes and mouths closed over who were hunting the alien hybrids created on earth? It would seem that anything related to an alien takeover of Earth like the alien bounty hunters and black oil were just red herrings to disguise the real conspiracy. Yea, it does feel like bit of a kick in the balls as someone who invested a lot of time watching the original series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The third Episode is a return to the monster or the week format. Done in the style of the comedy episodes done in the past. Really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulliamwallace Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ill be honest, that was the highlight for the silly monster episode for me The first 2 were pretty good though.My god Scully is fitter than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I always thought the comedy episodes were amongst the strongest. Really looking forward to seeing these new ones. I did too. Glad they've brought them back. Hopefully there aren't so many explosions anymore - once they got the movie profits, the special affects became ludicrous.

Sliced Bread Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 First episode was fantastic, second was really good, third was a bit daft but it was loyal to the earlier series, especially season 6 on. It's nice to have the occasional comedy episode but surprised they did it so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 She has aged fantastically, 9/10 would alien probe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Wasn't so keen on episode 4. Thought it was the weakest of the four so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Watched the first episode last night. Cant say I was hugely impressed, all a bit meh. Im far from convinced by this whole "global organisation" cover up conspiracy. It might sound like a strange thing to say when talking about the X-files but its stretching things a bit far. The fact that he's been "played" for over 10 years but now suddenly, on the back of one guy, finds the "truth" doesnt really make sense either. Im predicting its either going to unravel the story in a clever way and turn out pretty good or its going to be utter horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, I find it difficult to believe that it took nine seasons to unravel the 'truth' however it's all debunked in a matter of minutes. I also found it annoying that Mulder, Scully, and Tad O'Malley kept randomly meeting up at Sveta's house. Still, the next few episodes are, by all accounts, much better. Fingers crossed!

highlandcowden Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 9/10 would alien probe. indeed can see why the aliens or whoever kept going back to sveta,also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfinn Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thought the first episode was a bit silly and far-fetched (the obvious subject matter aside), but probably necessary to establish this new mythology and context. Sounds like it gets better in subsequent episodes so I'll stick with it. Disappointed that it looks as if it was just a guest appearance from Joel McHale rather than him being a regular cast member. Any show would be improved by regular appearances from Jeff Winger IMO. Also, how has Gillian Anderson managed to be more attractive now than she was 20 years ago? I'm impressed.

pandarilla Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just watched episode 1 and in struggling to remember a poorer first episode of any show I've watched recently. Some of the dialogue was utterly chronic and the acting from some of the supporting cast wasn't much better. Overall it felt horribly dated for me.
